My internet is fast enough for me to not have games ready to play but currently, I have about 13 games installed out of 427 games on steam.

I delete games as I need to so it stays under 500 gigs. I don't really see a point of holding onto the game data when I haven't played the game in a while and I still have the save data. I can just reinstall when I want to later on.



I currently have 591 GB of games installed on my PC. That's 81 Steam games, 24 GOG games, and then some. I also have some games installed on my PS4. Last I checked, it's 500 GB HDD was almost full so I freed up some space, so I'm expecting it to be in the 300 GB range at the moment. I also have a good bit of games installed on my PS3, which also has a 500 GB HDD (originally 120 GB but I've switched it). I'd say 150 GB is a conservative guess for the amount of games installed on it. That would be about 1050 GB, or just over 1 TB, of installed games across my gaming devices. I accidentally answered 500 GB - 1 TB in the poll though before I considered the games installed on my PS3.

Everything, on every device, is stored internally. I do have an external HDD for my PC, but it's used for storing other stuff.

How many of those games have I played? Probably not even half. They're just waiting for me to have time to play them. Probably at some point I expected to play them soon but never got to it.



Lessee...on my Pro: 3 in my 'Online' folder, 7 in my 'Main Game' folder, 11 in my 'Mini-Game' folder, and 3 in my 'Arcade' folder. Dunno off-hand about the Vita, PS4 or PS3. (Despite all this, I almost always delete a game once I've decided I'm done with it, at least for the moment. Plat a game? Stretch, look over the cheevos and related pics in satisfaction, then nuke it off the HDD.)

That's a big problem I'm having with digital downloads. My physical backlog waits patiently on the shelf, all the way back to ps2 games. The digital games I buy in sales or just because I'm sure I'll play them soon are taking up a lot of the space. I've already stopped downloading ps+ games long ago, add to library and forget... I don't bother with them at all anymore on ps3. I forgot to add the ps3, its 320GB hdd is pretty much full as well. (not all games, about 100GB in videos and music) I haven't touched the ps3 in 6 months at least, and now its hdmi input has been taken over by the Switch. Not exactly ready to play anymore.

I use external HDDs for backup only. 2 x 2TB backup drives, mainly for videos and pictures. Adding an external to a console will only make the problem worse. At least now I think twice before buying the next game I might not play. Well once and a half at least :p

It's the same with houses. I had everything I needed in my dorm room. Then moved to an appartment which seemed empty, filled up quickly. Bought a bigger house, so much space, cramped 5 years later. Moved into a much bigger house, it's full again, even though we don't use half the rooms. I thought my ps4 pro would last a little longer before the dreaded cannot download message, insufficient space. Seems the more space you have, the faster it fills up!

I hate being a slave to the backlog sometimes. There are times I boot up Steam and think of what to play, then I realise I need to be in the right mood to play games I'd think of playing, then I just revert back to something like Heroes of the Storm, battlefield 1, Minecraft or older games. 

 

I really need to sort out some form of roster that allows me to tackle the backlog, but also design it in such a way that makes me want to play the games first in the order listed. 



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

About 800GB across PC and Wii U. And since I'm predominantly retrogaming and indiegaming on my PC, that accounts for tons of games (+36 games on my Wii U, also quite a lot of indies here)



45 Applications. 29 of those are physical.

478GB used on a 1TB HDD.

I have deleted some like Until Dawn,Demo's,PS+ games I just didn't like or just didn't see myself playing ever or anytime soon.



500gb of games, 400gb free space on PS4 Pro.

On my PC I probably have about 90gb of games installed to my tiny 240gb ssd.
