                  Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

                  I only buy a game once in a while. There is no way that I would have 5 new games that I need to find the time to play each. This way I save money and also try to really play a game all the way (unless I can't stand it).

                  The only new game I currently have is NBA 2K12. All other games are from 2008-2009, and I don't have many.
                  My Specs:

                  ZX Spectrum
                  CPU: Z80 @ 3.5 MHz
                  GPU: Monochrome display
                  RAM: 48 KB
                  OS: Sinclair BASIC

                    I wish I could do this, but my willpower is very weak, unfortunately.

                    It's tough because I do really enjoy football, basketball, baseball and hockey, so I'd like to have a game for each sport. I'm going to try and stick to the every 2 years for a purchase of a game in that particular sport, going forward.

                      Re: Guilt, gaming and the "too many games" syndrome

                      Current gaming rotation:


                      Skyrim - this has become my gaming life and will be for a long time. A masterpiece.

                      Dead Space 2 - Chapter 13 (been stuck here going on 2 months due to Batman and now Skyrim)
                      Batman Arkham City - 40% done with main storyline and I love this game immensely!!!
                      Madden 12 - Pre-season year 3
                      The Show 11 - ALCS game 4 (year one)
                      NBA 2K11 - Year 3 Heat Association 25 games into regular season
                      NCAA 12 - Year 4 Hurricanes Dynasty going into Bowl season.
                      Borderlands - Level 33 have not played in 4 months

                      Games in the que to be played:

                      Deus Ex Human Revolution - dabbled and loveed what I saw

                      Mass Effect 2 - really looking forward to this title

                      Uncharted 1 and 2 - yep still have not played these (borrowed from my brother in-law)

                      Bioshock 1 - Still have not touched this great game

                      Dead Rising 2 - Just got it for 5 bucks

                      Valkyrie Chronicles - Still have not touched

                      Demon Souls - played for 10 hours till I picked up Dragon Age Origins and never went back to it. I will play this game when I can commit 100%, as it is as hard as a mother.

                      Dragon Age 2 - I played DAO all the way through and loved it....I ran and picked this up on release day. I started it.....I was not overly impressed and then got hard core into my sports games and never went back. I will sometime next year and play this all the way through.


                      Safe to say I will not be buying anymore video games for at least 8-10 months easy.

                        Anymore it seems for me, I'm in a different part of the spectrum. Now days I'm usually 1 to 2 years behind in game purchases with the exception of maybe one or two new titles each year. Just for money saving purposes. I like buying the GOTY editions at 29.99

                        The games I am playing right now is a pretty avid list but I just knocked off Fallout New Vegas and Uncharted 2. Though I'm still playing Uncharted 2 online.

                        And while I am playing Batman AC (a new title) right now, I'm looking to get into Alpha Protocol next. Picked it up for 5 bucks new on ebay.

                        I usually tend to have a list of 6 or 7 games that are in rotation but most of them are quite older games.

                          Here is what I do I pick 2 or 3 games at one time and go back and forth between those games just depending on what kind of mood that I'm in. I never do more then 3 games bc thats just to much. Usually what happens is i'll get hooked on one game and play it for a week then swap to the other and play it nonstop for a week.

                            I've gotten better the past year. I'm still buying games but much less and I've FINALLY gotten to the point where I"m over the "I have to have it on release day". I was actually able to hold out for 2 weeks until I got a good deal on the new Forza. I'm also planning to get into Gamefly to further help my budget in this regards.

                              My problem is that when I buy a sports game I like to play it for a long time so I'm still hooked om Madden and NCAA. Also i'm getting alot of games for christmas bc I had nothing else I wanted. I only got into non sports games a year ago so and wanted to go back and play through some of those again.

                              Playing Now

                              Madden 12 - In season 3 with the lions and will be play this one through atleast all the NFL season.

                              NCAA 12 - I have had to divide my football time up this year between it and madden still enjoying it but recently got a transfer error when i was about to start season 5.

                              Mafia 2 - One of the first non sports game I played and went back and played through this again I got 5 of the 15 chapters left.

                              Batman Arkham Asylum - I borrwed this from someone after all the rave reviews and gonna try and beat it before christmas.


                              Others I need to finish

                              GTA4 - I just briefly started this game and gonna try and get a little bit more into it before I get all the games for christmas.

                              Saints Row 2 - I was a little dispointed in this game but I got it used for dirt cheap. I need to try it up again.

                                College Hoops 2k8 and Battlefield 3 take up most of my gaming time, but I'm still mixing in some Mass Effect 2 and Driver: San Fransisco..

                                I'm having fun with them all, I just can't stick with one for too long before the other starts calling my name. I'm very close to beating ME2 and Driver San Fransisco, but I usually get caught up just driving around in Driver, rather than playing the story line.. it's very fun for an arcade racer.
