Okay.  Let's do this.

PS3:

  • Dead Space:  Made it to the asteroid section last night.  Had it for three years but I'm finally playing it.
  • Devil May Cry 4: Got it for $10 or something (same day as Dead Space).  Played it for about two hours.
  • Final Fantasy XIII-2: Got it the day it released.  Have no idea what the fuck is going on. Still bought the DLC.  WIll beat is someday.
  • inFamous:  Got it the week it came out.  Got bored with it but I'll force myself to beat it.
  • Nier:  Got it for $10 about a year ago.  Was having fun but then I stopped playing it.
  • No More Heroes Paradise:  Hated every other version of this game so I bought it on day one and I hate it.
  • Prince of Persia (2008): A Christmas gift from '08.  I need to finish it.
  • A lot of downloaded titles but I'm not gonna turn on my PS3 right now.

Wii:

  • Kirby's Epic Yarn:  Played the tutorial and liked it.  Never played it again.
  • No More Heroes:  Heard it was a great game.  Bought it and hated it.
  • No More Heroes 2:  Enjoyed the original so much that I bought the sequel and hated it.
  • Obscure:  It was $20 and I always buy a 2nd game when I buy a game.  Barely played it.
  • Red Steel:  I got pretty far into it before I put it on the shelf for years.
  • Silent Hill Shattered Memories:  A great game but I keep putting it off.
  • Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam:  It was $5 so I grabbed it.  Played it for five minutes to see if it worked.
  • Okami:  Heard it was a great game.  It started off fun but soon bored me to tears.
  • Endless Ocean:  Bought it to play when I was really bored.  I never got bored.
  • Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2:  Never even played it.
  • Battalion Wars 2:  I don't even remember buying this game!

PSP(from memory):

  • Silent Hill Shattered Memories:  Recent purchase.  No time to play it, yet.
  • Rainbow Six Vegas:  Bought it with my PSP.  I have never played it.
  • Pursuit Force:  Free.  Didn't like it.
  • Mod Nation Racers:  Free.  Barely played it.
  • I'm sure there's more but I'm not digging out my PSP right now.  It's all about that Vita right now!

Vita:

  • Virtua Tennis 4:  I like Tennis games.  I'll get to it but I've only played one match.......maybe.  I can't even remeber.
  • Metal Gear Solid HD:  I'm almost done with MGS2 but the controls are fucking horrible.
  • Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus:  Fun game but I had to finish Uncharted.
  • Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3:  I didn't even want this game when I  bought it.  So why did I buy it?
  • Resisitance Burning Skies:  I like this game but I only play it when I'm at work.  I'm two stages in.

3DS

  • Mario Tennis:  Day one purchas.  I haven't played a single match, yet.
  • Sakura Samurai:  Played it for thirty seconds, I think.  Seems like it will be a good game.
  • Dillon's Rolling Western:  Made it to the title screen.
  • Mutant Mudds:  I love this game but getting time to play it is hard.
  • GBA Ambassador games:  A lot of good games but I haven't played much of any of them, yet.
  • Nes Ambassador games: 10 8-bit games that are almost unplayable, now.  SMB is cool, though.
  • Bionic Commando (Gameboy):  I always wanted that game as a kid so I bought it.  Now, I just have to try to play it.
  • Nintendogs:  It was like $7 at Best Buy!  I HAD to buy it!  Haven't played an hour, yet.

Xbox 360:  And these are just the games on the shelf!  There's even more in the closet but I won't dig them out.

  • Spider-Man: Edge of Time: Just bought it.  Gonna play it soon.....I think.
  • Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions:  Same as above.  I went Spider-Man crazy last week.
  • Halo Wars:  Purchased with my father's day gift card.  Played one mission.  I like it, though.
  • Enchanted Arms:  Needed an RPG.  Didn't need THIS RPG.  It's garbage.
  • The Witcher 2:  Day one purchase.  Barely played it.
  • Venetica:  Had a hot girl on the cover.  Barely played it.
  • Vanquish:  An awesome title that got pushed to the side when I played Mass Effect 3
  • Top Spin 2:  I like tennis.....right?  Then why don't I play my tennis games?
  • Ace Combat 6:  Great game overshadowed by better games.
  • Alice The Madness Returns:  Was having a blast with this one.  Bought it with two other games.  Something had to give.
  • Assassins Creed 2:  Goddam, this game is long.  I don't know how far I am with it.
  • Blue Dragon:  Had it for years.  Was having fun with it but then got sidetracked.
  • Bully:  Haven't played it once.  My kid beat it, though.  Looked like a ton of fun.
  • Dark Void:  It was $4!  My first game of 2012.  I actually liked this one but it's on the shelf, now. 
  • Deadly Premonition:  Was great but reaaally tedious outside of story missions.
  • Condemned 2:  Haven't even played it.  Someday.
  • Dark Sector:  It was $9.  I liked it while I played it but I didn't finish it.  Halfway through, maybe?
  • Dead or Alive Xtreme 2:  bought it for the boobies.  Didn't even play it for 30 mins.
  • Dead Rising 2:  Loved the first.  Didn't enjoy this one.  I'm probably one hour in.
  • Dragon Age Origins:  I REALLY need to sit down with this game some day.
  • Fight Night Round 3:  Got it for free.  It was evidence but another cop gave it to me. Never even played it.
  • Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter:  The first great 360 game.  I stopped playing it after three missions.
  • Grand Theft Auto 4:  Didn't have the magic of the older games.  I'm almost done with it, though.
  • Episode From Liberty City:  Couldn't bring myself to play these two.
  • Halo ODST:  After I finish Halo 2 (currently playing), I'll play it.
  • Infinite Undiscovery:  Really liked this game.  Got to disc 2 and now I don't know where the fuck to go.  Needs a better map.
  • LA Noire:  A day one purchase.  My biggest disappointmen, ever.
  • Ninety Nine Nights:  It was $5!  I had no choice but to buy it.
  • Ninja Gaiden 2:  Was fun and only cost $5.  Unfortunately, I bought NINE other games that day.  Thanks, Movie Gallery!!
  • Onechanbara:  This game is broken.  I tried to beat it but it's fucked.
  • Rayman Origins:  I don't even know why we stopped playing this one.  Should fire it up today.
  • Undead Nightmare:  Great game but I was Red Dead Redemption'ed out when I bought it.  I'll start it someday.
  • Rumble Roses:  That's the last time I buy a game with my penis!
  • Silent Hill Homecoming:  I think I almost beat it but it was a chore to play.
  • Soul Calibur 4:  Loved the earlier games but I barely played this one--AND I bought all of the DLC.  I'm crazy.
  • SSX:  Day one purchase AND I bought all of the DLC.  Played the tutorial.
  • Star Ocean 3:  Got it with a Gamestop gift card.  I really want to play it someday.
  • Dance Central 2:  We played the first one like the world was coming to an end. Why didn't we play this one as much?  I even bought a soundbar for my livingroom TV just for this game!!
  • Child of Eden:  I was having fun with this one but then I just stopped playing it.
  • Perfect Dark Zero:  This game is a lot of fun, actually.  I only play it co-op, though.  When my partner (PrincessNYA420) wants to play, we'll play it again.  We're on mission 4.
  • Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands:  The only PoP game that I didn't own.  Got it for $5 from XBLA
  • I have probably 100 (or more!) XBLA games.  I probably beat a third of them.
  • There's a ton of other 360 games in my closet but I didn't have room for them on my shelf anymore.  Hell, most of the games in this list aren't even on the shelf right now.  Off the top of my head, NBA Street, Tenchu Z, and Ninja Blade are resting safely and barely touched in my closet.
  • *edit* Add Max Payne and WWE 12 to the list.  Two day one purchases that were really good but somehow got pushed to the side.

Okay.  I DO play a lot of games and I do beat a lot of games but I've bought waaaaay more than I could ever play.  Sometimes, I want to play a game and I don't play anything because I don't even know where to start.  On top of that, games like Resident Evil 4 and 5, Gears of War, and the Batman Arkham titles get multiple playthroughs (like five or more) while other games don't even get a second glance.  And that's just the way it is.

...im confuse if this is ADHD or Hoarding LOL

Same problem I'm having. There's only like 3 games I feel like playing and about 15 I still need to finish. I'm so close to finishing Deus Ex Human Revolution but I just can't bring myself to play it. And I LOVED the game, so I don't know what's the problem. I guess most of us just need a break of gaming but every week there's something interesting coming out.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

JazzB1987 on 18 July 2012

I didn't think there would be so many replies lol Seems like everyone has the same problems.

 Today I forced myself to finish my 90% completed New Super Mario Bros for DS (it only took me 6 years yay!). The problem is that it was no fun at all because I forced myself....
 The other games need a better strategy maybe like play 1 and send the rest all around the globe to a non existent address and wait 2 months for them to return.....

 Whats interesting is that when I was visiting a friend on the other side of the country I finished 2 games because we played them in coop DragonQuest 9 and Phantasy Star Zero. 
I also finished Resident Evil Revelations with a friend in coop over a period of 4 weekends. So it seems that I cant play alone lol. Whats wrong with me.....

P.S.
I'm also going to make a list of my unfinished games this gen. It would be easier to make a list of the ones I actually finished tho (maybe not really 100% but at least I saw the credits)

Hell even Bowser is laughing at me because I never finished Mario 64 on the N64.... The first game ever for this system and that was 1996 lol



d21lewis on 18 July 2012

I never had this problem until the PS1 era. There were probably a couple of games I bought but didn't finish, then. Before then, I finished every game I bought, multiple times. I'd only buy a few games a year, then. I'd rent Super Nes games and beat them in a weekend.

During my PS2/Gamecube games, I finished a majority of games I played. Not all but I'd say about 70% of them.

This gen, all hell broke out. I think the games are better than ever, but are they? I'm buying more than I ever have and I'm more excited than I've ever been but, when it comes down to actually playing a game (goddam, I'm typing so fast today! If you guys could see how I'm handling this keyboard!) I just can't seem to get into it much of the time. Are the games just not as fun? Am I getting too old? Am I bored with it? I've spent this whole day off from work on the net instead of playing games. Maybe this is it for old d21lewis. Maybe I won't make it to the next gen.

Step 1: Buy entirely too many video games
Step 2: Discontinue buying video games that cost more than $5
Step 3: Start a Backloggery account and get organized
Step 4: Manage your time efficiently
Step 5: Reduce your backlog to an acceptable level
Step 6: Thank Bouzane

I say we take all the game's that we played for a whole of 10 minutes, sell them, and only buy a game one at a time. Don't buy a new game until we're done. I think that'll solve all our problems.

I think my problem was that I had to buy every single game I was remotely interested in.  I was buying ten games a month at some points.  Hell, probably many points!  There's hardly anything I want on the horizon for the next several months so I think I'm good.  This is a good time for me to do some catching up.

I do want to buy Castlevania Lords of Shadow, though.  But I don't feel like I NEED to buy it like I did with a lot of other games.

I think that is the problem though, we wanna try these games, we have the money to buy them, but we don't actually have the time nor the drive to play them.  Plus as you said before we like to replay games, hell I played Final Fantasy X-2 3 times because I wanted to.  Now I want to platinum Final Fantasy XIII-2, but I haven't had the drive, nor do I even wanna replay it, when back in the day I'd have beaten it 3 times already.  The other problem to I think, is impulse buy, how many times have we bought something on impulse just cause it was 10 bucks?  I have Bionic Commando still sealed in its case, cause I bought it for 10 bucks.  Why did I waste that 10 bucks?  Hell even now I'm home from work and the most I've managed to play was 2 hours of Dragon Age: Origin.

I had this very same problem and then I quit spending so much time on the internet.
Today, I do still have the very same problem. I have to quit getting so much laid.

Get Top Spin 4. It's the best tennis game out there atm.

But explain to me how you could shelve Vanquish. First off, as you said, it's awesome. Secondly it's like 4 hours long so you could easily finish it in one sitting.
I just played it yesterday to grab some achievements I've missed before and I had a great time.

 I'm probably just all gamed out for now, which is why I'm going through my backlog of Netflix shows/movies.


How big is your Netflix queue?  I believe mine is 250+...  Most of them I add because they seem interesting/something I might like but when it comes time to watch it and get it off the queue I just don't feel like watching it at that time.

Like 220-something now. I've been going through it the past few weeks, but I also keep adding to it lol. A lot of times I'll just scroll through my instant queue list for half an hour, give up, and watch ESPN.
