Balancing games.


Recommended Posts

I made this thread just to vent a bit about myself :p

I have a Wii, PS3, 360 and I cannot seem to find a way to balance what games I play. For example, I am about a quarter way through Super Mario Galaxy, gone through some of Red Dead, Transformers, Battlefield, and have started a ton of games that I want to finish but I have like "game ADD."

I never seem to actually stick to one game and finish it, I always find the need to have the latest game.

Anyone else like this?

Yes I am exactly the same, but in a way I like it, because the games last me so much longer, there has only been 1 game in the past 5 yrs that I have sat for as long as I could for 2 days solid and completed and that was "Singularity"

For some reason that game had me hooked from start to end

Depends on the game, if its a 3rd person I tend to stick with it till the story is done. If its RPG I'll tend to jump about on different games...then there is racing games.

Right now its Demon's Souls on PS3, Forza 3 on xbox and Eve-online on PC (until my ingame money runs dry :p )

in the past i would play my main game for a couple hours a day most days, and then on other days would take a break to play a single player game. usually i'd play my secondary game on breaks from my main game until i beat it then move on to the next game.

for examples i played cs regularly for a bout 3 years but during that time i played and beat many other games both single player and online from freelancer to bf1942:DC mod.

when i played lineage 2 we would sepnd a few hours playing cs or dod after each siege. when i played wow with the same people we'd take a few hours break on weekends to play dods or tf2. as well during that time i played a fair number of single player games such as different gta titles and oblivion.

although i might start a new single player game before i finish the last one, i tend to finish each single player game at some point, if it's fun to play and has a decent story.

and i never feel the need to sit down for 8-16 hour session and beat a game in one sitting. these days i'll play 2 hour sessions in the evenings until i beat the game or get bored. some games that have coop i'll save for the weekends to play with my bro.

i don't finish every game, but generally speaking if it's fun it'll stay on my hard drive until i at least beat the single player campaign once or twice.

also i once had a campaign of civ 3 last me 8 weeks of on and off 2-8 hour sessions. it was epic.

LOL I used to do the same thing, until I had to pay for my games myself.

Now I will not purchase a new game until I have finished the story/campaign.

The only time I don't do this, is if a game is gifted to me, at which point I try not to open it until I've completed the others.

I find that when I jump between games I tend to forget the story and am lost when I try to go back and finish a game that I had left on the shelf.

Now, I will play race games and my online FPS games in-between campaigns when I just need a break (either stuck on a part or just need something different).

But, yea stop buying so many games until you start beating them. It's really a waste of money if you don't finish them.
