Forums - Gaming - Is it really that strange to alphabetize your games?

I do that all the time.

Almost all of my games that are on display on shelves are in alphabetical order within platform.  I've had a handful of people I wouldn't say have criticized but have found it surprising that my games are alphabetized.  Why???  I honestly cannot phantom what's the issue.  It's not like it's a single 1 foot wide shelf that doesn't need a lot or organizing to find something.  On a related note, a friend of mine couldn't understand how someone could keep their comics is new condition.  Well Dan (<--- my friend) if you weren't such a slob, maybe your comics wouldn't be in a single pile sitting bare from the carpet up with the corners hanging over each other, and your comics MIGHT be in the same condition, too.  Anyway, do you alphabetize your games?  If not, why wouldn't you?

No, it's not strange. Strange is people doing it wrong all the time.

 

It's Legend of Zelda, the and Elder Scrolls, the

Square trying to get all fancy with their titles xD

Well, it's a sequel to XIII-2, isn't it?

Anyway, I'll also be calling the new GoW as GoW 4 if Sony doesn't give it a decent subtitle to make me want to treat it as a whole different thing, 'cause I'm not calling it just GoW.

Agreed with GoW4.  I mean it's still Kratos so "GoW4" can still work.

What else would one do? By system and by name.

Of course not, that's called being neat and organised. And alphabetising is probably the best way to do that. My stuff mostly in boxes now but when it wasn't, I ordered them, after ordering them by system, by how much I liked them; best one was on the left.

Dude, you need to play more and organize less... I have many PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, but even tho they are organized by system, they are not in alphabetical order. Just shoved all squeezed on the shelf. Whenever I have time, I use it to play those games, not to have them ordered Xp

I guess thats some kind of obsesive disorder.

Then you want to play a game, you'll have to look for it, and waste time doing it.
Meanwhile we can get to it pretty fast because it's placed on a logical order.

Like in a library, it's easier to pick a book knowing it's name because you where to look at instead of having to read all the titles of the books in the shelf.
It's called logic, not disorder xP

Yeah, I know that order makes it easy for a game to be found quickly, but I have a ver good photographic memory for useless things, like where exactly are the games that I own, so, not having them in order is not an issue for me since i know always where they are. But yeah, ordered is easier for finding a game.

The only time I don't keep them alphabetized is when something goofy happens like a sequel with a different name (ie: X Blades/Blades of Time or Tomb Raider/Rise of the Tomb Raider)

Aside from that, ABCs by console.

Really, it should be phrased "obsessive order."
