As posted on Twitter, here's my unplayed pile of shame for current gen consoles.

 I hereby name this the official compulsive game buyer's amnesty, where we can bring our problems out in the open.

 

 

*Update* Dark souls is off the pile

Steam 540 games, dont even go there for my console collection.  The problem is I never complete them!!!!

 I'll get the camera out, and you can see why I have no life.

@Brother B.

Yeah it is a shame… But I can not resist sometimes…

Everybodies Golf was just too cheap too resist…it also did not help listening to earlier MLG Podcast were Daren is
head over heels in love with that game….

Borderlands has a different story, that's a day one copy from the good old U S of A.
Borderlands here is Germany has a strong censorship, no blood, no bodyparts etc.
So I got this from America uncut. Sadly at that time noone did it coop…and alone…it didn't work.
Now I just grif it is without any DLC and also because it is an American release I had to get that all from
the american store as well… too much hustle…. it would be cheaper getting the GOtY Ed. alltogher at this point.

So You see in fact each of those games on my pile has a little stroy attached to it. I guess I am not alone wink

But currently I just DON'T have time… I feel like I am spreading myself so thin these days.
In fact I do play currently two MMORPGs (Rift + "something else"(no not WoW at the moment))
That alone eats up must of my time…. then there is Gears3 and Dark Souls ontop of that list.
Also got to finish Star Ocean… I am at the last dungeon…if just to show Daren a JRPG CAN be finished.

I am compleatly ignoring Skyrim next month… It is like that monolith that will most surely crush me finally….
…oh and did I mention Batman Arkham… I should better stop now…this is turning into a diary of my life…

Best regards

Hi, a bit of both really.

 

I've completed none of them.  I havent played MGS4, Gran Turismo, Uncharted 2, Resistance 2, Soul Calibre and loads others.  I hate amazon, cause if theres a game for a fiver I feel obliged to buy it.  As I am a completionist, I try and complete a game before I move on.  I have started Uncharted but didn't finish it and therefore havent started 2 in case it has spoilers for the first game.  I'm also a bit of a collector, so if I see a game that I have heard of (Shadow of Colossus -PS2), I'll get it and wait for the moment I have time to play it.  unfirtunately, havent just turned 40, I reckon Ill be dead before I catch up!!

Seeing these piccies is making me feel a bit better- I'm glad we can all share in our head problems.

 After posting the pic, I started thinking about why I keep buying games & not playing them. The obvious thing is time- I just don't have much to spare in general, so I consider myself lucky to get an hour in at night. The next thing has to be price. If I see a game in Morrisons or on Play.com (or indeed any supermarket/website), that's a fiver, and has had OK reviews, I just pick it up.

 Anybody around my age must remember when console games cost a week's wages- remember Street Fighter on SNES being around £65 – £70? So I must have some weird mental switch that makes me buy games when they're at a perceived affordable price.

Unfinished games are another bugbear, in that I hardly ever finish games. I never fall out of love with games, I just know that the only thing I need to finish is TIME. Therefore, if I know I can finish it, then I could spend that time on a NEW game! Some twisted, fucked up logic there, but at least there's some sort of logic, eh?

 Interestingly, though, I noticed that I'm spending a lot more of my time on mobile gaming, be it via IOS, or 3DS (hey, I've notched up over 12 hours on Disgaea DS in the last week!), mainly because I can play a full game of Quarrel or level up a couple of Pokemon during my lunch break, or whilst travelling when out at the weekend.

 I think that I may have to look at my personal policy of only playing games on "Normal" difficulty- It doesn't make me any less of a man does it?

@Goddtodd I am sorry frown but I wont make it this saturday.

But thumbs up for ExtraLife been listening to the Sarcastic Gamer Podcast nearly as long as
MLG. They really did a great job the last years.
It was a sad thing that the pink show and red show were canceled.
