I'm starting afresh. Last-night I went through each of my game-saves and deleted every half-played RPG/Adventure/Platform game. Why? Because I've decided to take it one game at a time.
Currently, I have Metroid Prime, Panzer Dragoon Orta, Dark Cloud 2, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Xenosaga, Tenchu to name a few that I've played for around a couple hours and returned to the shelf. These games deserve better than that. I want to maximise my enjoyment out of these games and to do this, I have to play through one game at a time.
I did it with Halo. Played nothing but Halo, when I eventually sat down with it and played it through till the end. Ditto with Metal Gear Solid 2. And both the aforementioned titles I now hold in high-regard.
If I end up starting, say 3 RPGs and 2 Adventure/Platform games, I'd soon end up forgetting:
- The plot
- What I'm supposed to be doing
- Where I go next
And then I'd start another game. And then another.
It's a vicious circle.
Other titles that don't fall under the RPG/Adventure/Platform bracket I'll continue to play as usual in sporadic bursts. But, it's the Metroid Prime's and Dark Cloud 2's of this world that need my full attention to maximise my enjoyment out of them.
Has anyone else felt that they've started one game too many and just got overwhelmed with it all and started another?
