Forums - Gaming Discussion - How do you play?

You just got a brand new game, but how do you play it? Do you rush through the game and complete it in a few days? Do you play a couple of hours every day after school/work? Do you play once every weekend?

How do you play?

Reviews made me think of this. We look at reviews from people who get the review copy of games a few days before the games are released and I would argue that the gaming experience is different depending on how we play.



Don't copy random editorials.

Around the Network

I play about an hour a day, an hour and a half perhaps. Sometimes it takes me 2-3 months to finish a game, because I love open world games and they are usually long.
I will be starting Borderlands 2 soon, I am replaying it now on PS4, and I will probably still be playing it in 2016.



When I get a new game it usually becomes the only game I play until I beat it. Then, if I liked it enough, I rip through it again for the Platinum/full GS, and then I probably never touch it again. Very select games get picked up again.



It depends on how good the game is.



I rarely finish a game in weekend or even a week. I like taking my time with a game, otherwise it can feel like an assignment or work.

Depends on the game, usually new games just go on the shelf.

But if it's something I'm greatly anticipating, I start immediately. If it grabs me, I keep playing until I can't or it no longer does.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

It depends on how fun the game is, the story and what console it is on..

I usually only play on weekends but if it is on a handheld, I could probably play during the week
and if the game is really interesting and fun, I would play it more often than other games I have been playing for some time

Depends on if I'm working or have school get in the way. If I don't, I tend to rush. Not so much because I want to get it over with, but because I'll have a lot of free time to play it and so I end up finishing it in a few days.



I play as long as I'm having fun. No more fun, no more game. There are exceptions, of course. If a new game releases and I get it, it becomes complicated. This reminded me I need to finish a bunch of games.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
