Too many games.

This is a true story. I have 198 games on steam a loan not to mention Uplay origin or gog. I have been deciding for days now what to play. I was looking threw all my library and a pen caught my eye on the desk and started to play with pen taking top on and off.

True but sad story I just cant decide what game to play.

start at the top

Is it nothing interesting you or something else on your mind?

I find I do game design study, make art or music more than playing games. Even when I have spare time. That's not sad, it's just how you are feeling at this time

A lot of it is trying to start a new game these days. I cant be bothered to learn how it plays and just want to jump into the main game play. Also I loose interest easy. I play for 2 hours on a new game and want to play something else.

Out of all games I have I found my self playing The four Kings casino which is free. Been on 16 hours in 5 days since I got it. that due to I dont have to use my brain and have to remember what happened if I take a break.

That's my most played game. Skyrim lol.

I get like that sometimes too, the best idea is just go and do something else until the urge returns.

Don't force yourself to play something from your library just because you think you ought to as you've paid for them all.

Always feel like this. Too many sale and humble bundle purchases and most games never even started.

Try modding something?

198? You've barely got started, don't worry about it. Start from the top or pick one at random

I use to like modding Star Trek Bridge Commander and Elite Force 2. I liked altering scripts in BC. I couldn't do full codes my self just change stuff. I did at one point though make a shield script where you put your shield on and the ship shields glowed up and was a weapon. If a ship got too close to yours it would damage the other ship.

Indeed. I have over 300 on Steam, maybe few hundred on PS3 I've never touched and even most of the PS Plus games given away on the PS4 since it released.

Most of the time I find myself wanting to play something you just can't complete, like Links 2003 (golf game).

Most recently I did manage to complete the latest Tomb Raider on PS4. But I have atleast 2 more games I plan to buy before the year ends on PS4, so the collection keeps going up.

Maybe look into unreal then. It has blueprints which are game logic script for people who don't code (like me). I'm actually making my first game atm. Its also free until you make money, and you know how good the engine is.

Start with the oldest and work your way up. Then as you get to the new games they have had chance to have patch's and updates.

arc@css · 7 Jun 2017 at 08:41

Or try applying already made mods for games. I find that can really inject passion back into gaming.

Dis86 · 7 Jun 2017 at 09:46

Its an issue I have too. Normally stems from playing something am a game I've been waiting for comes out or I'll get so far in to a story and then not be able to play for a while and lose track of what I'm doing and therefore interest. Not like when I was younger and could play every night if I wanted to.

Yeah if I dont play for a while when I come back its at a higher level and I cant remember what i'm doing/lost the flow. And then die a lot/lose my non-lethal streak in Deus Ex, or whatever style of play I am going for. I think that is one of the causes of semi-ragequit - playing too many roles at once and losing the immersion.

I swear I am finishing some games first before carrying on with prey & Nier. I couldnt help myself buying them

Delete all but two games, a multiplayer game and a story based single player game
