Do you play one game at a time or dip in and out of numerous games?

    I dip in and out the whole time.

    There used to be a time where I would not buy a game until I finished the previous one. But then loads of good games arrived in quick succession, so the buying madness begun.

    I still switch from AC:BF, to JC2 and the final missions of Starcraft 2. Sure just tonight I played a bit of swtor, haven't played in months. Am hoping to play some more Rome II at the weekend and an hour of C&C Generals. Play as the Isis (GLA)

    Just be thankful the real life terrorists don't have the GLA's rocket buggy....or we'd all be f*cked! :p

    I'm fairly monogamous when it comes to console games. I start a game, play it to the end and can happily start again from scratch or carry over my character on a tougher level. If I'm really enjoying a game I get withdrawal symptoms afterwards and desperately look around for a similar type of game to replace it. It's rare that I'll abandon a game before finishing it but usually do so when something about the game annoys or frustrates me so I'm only playing it out of a (misplaced) sense of duty.

    For a story driven game i'll usually have about three to four that i'll cycle through. I'll only put one on the back burner if a particular part is too frustrating or if i get fatigued. For instance, when i got the MGS: HD collection, I blew through Sons of Liberty and Snake eater, (then blew through Portable Ops) but somewhere near the beginning of Peace Walker, i realized i'd been metal geared out and left it alone for a few months.

    This happened to me after Deus Ex: HR and Mass Effect 3 :(




  • Steam Sales are a nightmare. Buying to many games some of which you never play. I have restricted myself now to playing 1 - 2 games max at any one time until completion.

    Just one, but two as an absolute max.

    I like if I get frustrated by one, to be able to dip into another and make some progress to feel like I haven't completely wasted my time.

    Dippity doo da, dippity day. I'm not gonna finish any omy games.

    Just one at a time, unless travelling, if I played more than one at a time I would never get anything finished.

    I tend to focus on a sub game for a few months at a time and dip in and out of others. So at the moment I'm back in a World of Tanks phase and dipping in and out of Shadows of Mordor, Tomb Raider and Dragon Age Origins.

    What's worrying is how similar GLA are to Isis, both have suicide bombers, rebels, rpg, angry mob, snipers, Iraqi apc, Toyota pick ups, bomb trucks, etc

    They might have rocket buggies or toxic tractors!!
