I've been overwhelmed for the past 10 years now....Since the PS2 days. Completing enough games to ever feel like you're "caught up" I think is an impossible task, unless that's literally all you do all day and live in a basement.

The list of game I have yet to play in my PS3 collection alone is just nuts and the release of Arkham City and Uncharted 3 are not going to help when it comes to playing those one bit because I'll probably be playing them until next year :P I remember when I first started playing Uncharted 2..... disc didn't even leave my PS3 for 6 months haha.

It's a lot, but too much to play is always better than not enough.

I bought 10 GH titles + Resistance 3 and Rage some time ago and i'm finished with two of those games. With all the games coming out in the next few months, i'm pretty overwhelmed (allthough i can't complain :P).

There would be no problem if people would finish what they have in the first place. Trying to play multiple games at a time to me is the same as trying to read multiple books or watching multiple movies at a time. Imagine pausing Toystory 3 at the garbage dump scene to watchStar Trek or Inception.

Yes I do feel that way, and I was stupid enough to buy RE5 and ME2 because of the price drops so now I have even more games and I can't even play more than 4 hours per week. Usually fall is this heavy and after that it settles down, but next early year has amazing new releases as well and I just have no idea how I'm gonna catch up.

I have plenty of free time. I work 40hrs weeks but no part job. My problem is the hit my wallet would take if I tried to buy all of the games.

I feel the same. I would have no issue with not buying a game near launch and buying it when I'm done with my current games. Problem is, I'm worried that the game will be hard to find by then and I might have to resort to buying it used or bidding for it on eBay. I'd rather buy it and leave it in my collection until I have time for it. But that philosophy has resulted in me having a huge backlog.

Too many then none at all? I don't understand. Do you buy a load of games then sell them all or something?

LOL....best answer ever. I think that sums me up to a 'T'. When it comes to gaming I think I live in perpetual state of overwhelmed; I just learn to live w/ it by now. I think if thought too hard on it I'd really go out of mind. I swear I just wish I could live like rich chick for once and not have to work; then maybe I would actually catch up on my gaming. :P

I am going for BF3, Uncharted 3 and Skyrim for the end of the year. I already have Rage and Dark Souls, so the scene looks like this: I won't be getting out of my house for 6 months. I'll need some supplies!

Seriously though, this is the first time I buy more than three games per year. I hope it is worth the money.

I know what you guys mean. I have so many games in my backlog it isn't even funny lol. What makes matters even worse is that in the next couple of months I'm gonna get a ton of new games.

I was already overwhelmed BEFORE I got married and after my husband and I settled into our new house and took a look at our video game collection (this was after we had gotten rid of all the games we had two copies of), let's just say that overwhelmed is an understatement.

After not getting to a number of big titles I picked up on release until they were half or even less in price... I decided I'd take my time and pick up only the biggest title I wanted new each season. Right now, It's Skyrim. I'll get to Uncharted 3, Batman, Ico and others sometime next year.

I know the feeling well, back when i was in school and university it seems i always had time to play. Both me and my fiance dont have much free time to allocate towards our hobby as we use too. On top of our PS3, DS and PC, we both want Wii for Christmas.. I simply must have new Zelda that is coming out soon and the lady had enough of Mario Kart on DS and wants Wii version. No matter how you look at it, there are many fantastic games coming out. I have saved up for Battlefield 3 and really would love to pick up Skyrim. Other then that, money have to be spent on everyday chores, you know - rent, bills, food etc.. ;) So yeah, i absolutely agree, feeling overwhelmed is a right word.

I don't seem to have this problem because most games only take me about 3-4 days to finish (and yes, I do have a job, it's just that I'm an insomniac and don't get much sleep). My advice to not get overwhelmed though is to think about what game will give you the most play time. I'd like to play all the games mentioned (especially Arkham City) but have decided on Dark Souls and Skyrim. Between them you get about 300 hours of game time.

Me either man. I'm putting money that we will be seeing GTA5 around this time next year, so that's not going to help either. If a GTA is good, I can spend as much time on one as I would in an rpg. I put over 300 hours into San Anrdreas, but probably less than 60 into GTA IV.

I always find that there are too many games to play so I usually just play the ones I like the most. The next few months should be good.

Overwhelmed is an understatement.

I've had a backlog growing for quite some time. I was unemployed for a while, so buying games meant that I had to scrounge together money for just one and then play it till I could afford to get something else. I definitely took my time and got my money's worth out of those games. Now that I've had a full time job again and got promoted in the last few months, I haven't had much time for anything. I work 40+ hours a week and might as well say that I'm on-call because I'm an assistant manager and that's how it feels. I still have to finish BioShock 2, Borderlands, RAGE, Resident Evil 4 HD, Beyond Good and Evil HD, LittleBigPlanet 2, the Ico / Shadow of the Colossus Collection, the God Of War Collection, God Of War III, SOCOM 4, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack In Time, Heavy Rain, Grand Theft Auto IV, Demon's Souls, and Fallout: New Vegas. This is on top of picking up Batman: Arkham City next week then Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, and Saints Row: The Third.

In addition to that, there are plenty of other older games that have dropped in price that I want to buy AND I plan on building a gaming PC. What am I thinking?!? :cry:

My gaming strategy:

Rage: finished and returned for $50 trade in + got $10 gift card and $10 credit towards skyrim.

Dark Souls: skipped it for the time being, will come to it in december.

Arkham City: Pre-ordered using the Rage credit.

Battlefield 3: Will use $10 gift card and keep the game well into 2012.

Uncharted 3: Trade in Arkham City and beat as fast as possible, maybe dabble in online if it isn't laggy.

Skyrim: use $10 credit, play alongside BF3 as my RPG/shooter combo.

With Skyrim/BF3 and GT5 2.0, I'm set in terms of gaming for while :D
