Anyone else feel like they have too many games to play?

Yep and I don't know how that can be since I'm told the system I game on has no games?

Craziest things these dayzzzz. :P

Definitely. It's a good time to be a gamer. I don't care what anyone says

It's not really a problem that I have a lot of good games to play, it's better to have too many than too few.

The problem is I keep getting excited about unreleased games, while I should be excited to play older games, released and bought years ago, that I never had the chance to play.

If anything I want more excitement surrounding older games, lol. Crazy as that sounds but I want the media to put more emphasis on released games (getting new content for example). Instead of always focussing on what's just past the horizon.

Oh yeah however that’s definitely a good “problem” to have. I’d rather have too many to choose from then too few.

No, because I only buy games I intend to play right away. Just because they're on sale doesn't mean I have to buy them.

Yup, great time to be a gamer. So many amazing games these days.

Even for a PC gamer, it's very addictive buying lots and I mean lots of games. "Yes, I'm overloaded with games but I don't care" I know I'll play that game somewhere down the road. The thing is, "when I see a sale on a game for a limited time, I buy it asap" When you see your chance, you jump right on it, that's my motto :) My backlog is big, I never feel I'm overwhelmed of games I have yet to touch, I rather have a very large backlog of games then no games at all.

I totally understand where you are coming from, this can be a problem but the trick is, only buy the game you are souly going to play and finish the game itself. I too have older games I have yet to play, Like "Shadow of War" Got it on sale last year but never bother to play it due to newer games I got excited. I only install 10 games in total on my PC, the one's I'm focusing on playing only and completing them. If you install beyond 10 games, then it's gonna be a problem.

Limiting the one's you aren't playing much does help. I think the issue is, if there's a certain genre you are tired of and have that older game in your backlog such as open-world games, you probably wasn't gonna play it if you bought it in the first place.

In my case, I just can't seem to get enough of replaying the game like Witcher 3 and such, replaying older games is keeping me from not completing new games is my issue lol.

at the start of the year i said to myself "osan0: no more buying games until you finish some god dam games on the backlog". unfortunately i decided to pick some very very big games to finish. some of them (like MHGU) i will never finsh but its till going to take a lot of time to get as far as i want to get.

i also did not commit to not buying more games (just bought hitman yesterday on steam....why!? i mean i hear good things but why!?).

so we are near the end of the year. i'm still not a F1 world champion. BOTW, pillars of eternity and Xenoblade 2 are not done. i took a lump out of them but not finished. im only on 4 star quests on MHGU. i want to finish Doom 2016 since its running on linux. and then here is me thinking "hey lets get a PS4 for christmas. there about 7-8 games i want on that now". WHY!?

All the time. Which is weird, because Xbone has no games apparently. That's what the cows tell me anyway.

All the time, and I've learned to live with my massive backlog.

Yes, this is why I don't cry when a game is only a few hours long or doesn't contain SP.

It's a goddamn relief is what it is.

Not really. I buy the things I want to play instead of what's cheap or popular. There's lots of average games out there I don't bother with.

what I have is just about right, its leaning toward a bit over but not really.

I tend to hold off buying unless I think I am really going to play that moment.

At this point I will not be purchasing consoles of future gens, except maybe some Nintendo stuff. Plenty of games to play for the rest of my life!

Well, I generally don't buy games right when they come out anyway. RDR2 might be the only "new" game I buy all year. I still have a backlog of games, but at least it's mostly digital and stuff I'm getting dirt cheap. Not games I pay $60 for.

If I were to try and finish every game I own/ever started then yea

but these days I just move on from a game when I stop having fun with it (unless i'm just starting the game and 'figuring it out' still)

Too little time.

Games in my backlog,

Assassins Creed: Syndicate & Origins

Batman: Arkham Origins & Arkham Knight

Farcry 5 Mafia 3

Dragon Age 2 Monster Hunter 2

Zelda: BOTW Spider-Man

That's just what I can think of right now. I tend to play more online than single player so my single player games sometimes stack up.

My backlog is huge! And I get sidetracked easily. All I needed to do this month was beat Red Dead Redemption(again) and play through Undead Nightmare. Now I only have 3 days left until RDR2 and it's just not happening lol

I've got a large collection of digital games on my Xbox One, but I'm fine with it. Rather have a large amount of games to play then not have the games to play at all. I splurge on games a lot, I don't drink, gamble,drugs legally or illegally, nor do I get hookers anymore. I try to keep straight and clean of any wrong doing,so I spend some of my extra money I have left over on games.

Nope games with microtransactions are killing my interest in gaming. I can't enjoy a game if I know a game company is trying to pick my wallet dry. I've only bought 2 games this year and one was an indie title. Any games I'm looking forward to are so far off they haven't shown anything other then teasers. Last gen I was buying 20 games a year. This gen I'm lucky if I buy more then 2.

I think I have over 100 games that I haven't even started yet

I have too many games. I've only had my Switch since August, and my library's getting big. I've hardly beaten anything for it.

in my 36 years of gaming I have encountered micro-transactions one time. (DLCs are more micro-trans)

so maybe your playing the wrong games?

Yes. I'm more sad at the fact that I don't have time to play them like I used to :(

I still have a backlog but I've stopped buying games I know I won't be playing for a while and it's the best thing I could have done. Now I spend more time on games instead of worrying about getting to the next one on the shelf.

Currently playing AC Odyssey and it's gigantic and I'm in absolutely no rush to finish it so RDR2 won't be day one after all. I honestly can't remember the last time a game was so good I was determined to see and enjoy all of it instead of going through the motions. Easily my GOTY so far.

I'll still grab stuff I really want if I see it on sale (just bought Ys VIII cheap which I'm looking forward to playing at some point) but I don't see the point in stacking loads of games up and making it feel like a chore to get through them all.

Far too many to play I have to pick between ac odyssey and red dead 2 to play next but have a backlog of about 5 Xbox one games. Not enough hours in the day.

Im getting close to 30 games in my backlog. Wish i had more time to play them

Not really. My problem is finding time and dedication to play a single game.

I don't have a backlog for games but I do for Netflix alot of series I haven't finished watching.

Yes I am completely overwhelmed by the amount of games I want to play. I'm not anxious, I just wish I had more time.

• Disgaea 5 Complete
• Forza Horizon 4
• Dark Souls 3
• Dragon Quest XI
• CrossCode
• Monster Hunter World

are just the ones I can think of. If I kept a backlog there would be hundreds of games I need to finish.

@blueinheaven: I agree. The more games you have, the less time you have to enjoy them.

shenmue hd spiderman god of war dark souls remastered shadow of tomb raider destiny 2 life is strange 2 the walking dead final season

I don't have enough money to play all the games I want to play, but I still have a backlog on steam of all the games i bought on sale. Yet I play the ones I've completed already instead.

I'll be overloaded by Christmas but I generally don't buy every game I want to play on day one. I pace myself a bit and go back for those when there are slow periods.

Good games are coming almost every day this gen, so yeah, i have a ridiculously long list of games i want to buy but haven't had time yet. I do play one at a time, though, so no problem here. These are great times to be a gamer.

Nah I honestly don't keep much of a backlog

And I don't intend to play all the shitty games Xbox gives you with a subscription

I do have more great games than time to play them. And I want to replay lots of great classics too, time permitting!

Sometimes I think I should swap me PS4 for Xbone. Then I would no longer have any games to play!

Oh I am behind on loads of games... Rise of Tomb Raider and the newer one. Forza Horizon 4 looks fun, gonna get Spiderman once it is on sale, Farcry 5 not completed. RDR 2 is also one game I very much look forward to play.

The list actually a lot longer, however I have accepted that I will most likely never touch all the games I want to play.

My reply is not in the poll.

It's "no".

I’m still playing The Witcher 3. I have AC: Odyssey to play and RDR2, also maybe finish off Rise of Tomb Raider although I wasn’t enjoying it that much. Prefer 90’s PS version where you could go anywhere and do anything without a lot of cutscenes in between gameplay.. :)

Apart from all those multiplatform games of course like RDR2 etc.

I tend to be very picky now.

Only now starting Kingdom Come Deliverence. Havn't touched Pillars of Eternity 2 yet

Only because I replay games that I've beaten before as much (if not more) as I play new ones.

If all I did was play games which I had not beaten previously, I'd be caught up with them in a matter of months and probably be extremely bored.

2019 is the biggest year of games for me in a long time...

Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

Kingdom Hearts 3

Psychonaughts 2

Spyro Reignited Trilogy

Animal Crossing Switch

List doesn’t seem huge but I don’t really play newer gen games and from what I’m interested in it’s a manageable selection.

They problem I have is a majority of my backlog are open world games. Not what I need with read dead 2 on the horizon.

I can't believe how much there is to play on a Nintendo console to be honest.... The past two generations have been barron wastelands at times waiting for a decent game... With switch I basically can sell my ps4.
