I'm usually playing a maximum of a handful of games at once, and preferably less. Depending on the games, I can typically handle two or three pretty comfortably. Any more and it becomes a mess. Less is OK, but if I can handle the variety, I don't see why not.

Currently, I'm more or less playing MGS5 and Assassin's Creed: Unity, and it's working out pretty well. It's easy because I've already completed MGS5 earlier and now I'm just doing some extra stuff, so that's just one story mode to go through at once. Now that I think of it, several story modes at once can be a problem, and I tend to avoid it.

Now if we count games I've started but not finished, and which I plan to finish later, the number becomes higher... It probably brings the total closer to ten or even more. Some games relevant in this category include Pillars of Eternity, Far Cry 3, Red Dead Redemption, Gran Turismo 6, and the first Jak and Daxter.

Is pillars of Eternity worth the 50 Euro price tag? What's the port like? I went with War of the chosen because of the price tag diff but I'm getting pretty damn anoyed with the performance on ps4, seems to be even worse than the base game. 

I mean the PC version, not the port, so I can't say much about the port. I imagine that controls-wise, it should work relatively well, albeit more slowly and a bit more clumsily, on consoles. Technically, it shouldn't be a very demanding game, so it should run well unless they really screwed up the port. As you can see from the other games I mentioned, I'm, uh, a bit late with a lot of games, which sort of explains why I'm still playing the PC version. As to whether it's worth the price tag, it definitely is if it's your cup of tea. It's very much a traditional RPG in the same vein as Baldur's Gate and such, and it's also somewhat text-heavy. What it does, it does really well, but you have to have the correct expectations. It's definitely not for everyone. Personally I've enjoyed it for dozens of hours and the only reason I didn't finish it when I started it was lack of time. Since then, I've had more time on numerous occasions but once you start and leave something, it's harder to get back in.
