Deciding what to play?

[Che Musashi]

For some fluke reason I ended up packing up all my game stuff. I was buying too many games that I wasn't playing and pretty much on an obsessive drive to have as many strange dual shock abusing PS2/PSone games I could find.

I figured I'd use this week to try to focus on what I want to play, what I can put off playing, while I wait for Viewtiful Joe.

At the my last check I was juggling: Space Fisherman -I'm a wierd one-,Dark Cloud 2, PN3 -for the 3rd time Papillion here I come-, Mr. Driller Drill Land, My Cooking, and Soul Caliber 2. Its too much for any single person. Then I got hooked on my NBA street and DW4 demo on my OPM disc. Not to mention the Viewtiful Joe demo.

So now you get an understanding of my dilemma. Here I am trying to figure for myself what I want to play. I'm trying to narrow it down to three. Is there anything anybody else here has done in a similar situation?

I have this trouble trying to decide which DVD to watch, I have a DB of them, so I have a random title picker in that.

Trouble is, I often end up picking a number of times until I'm satisfied

Tell me about it mate!!!!

Frustrating isn't it?!

At the moment I'm playing,

Xbox

Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance
Moto GP2 LIVE!
Panzer Dragoon Orta

PS2

Psyvariar
Silent Hill 3

Dreamcast

Street Figher 3 3rd Strike
Bangai-O


Once I sort my GC's regulator board out I'll be playing,

Gamecube

Soul Calibur 2
P.N 03 (when it arrives)

I would say that they're aren't enough hours in the day, but being un-employed at the moment means it's not strictly true.

It does get frustrating trying to choose what to play though. Good topic!

Ah, the good old, not really random, random selection. A mate used to do that on Twisted Metal all the time, yet he couldn't see how he wasn't really selecting at random.

[Streets Of Rage]

Tell me about im currently about play/playing

PS1

Ridge Racer
Rage Racer (when it arrives)
Suikoden 2
Raiden Project (when it arrives)

GC

Zelda
Monkey Ball
Wave Race

DC

Ikaruga
Capcom VS SNK Millionaire Fighting (when it arrives)
Power Stone 2 (when it arrives)

and even more when my xbox and ps2 make it bk from will!!!

i also have problems with deciding what to play, however my recent solution was to put a thred up in online/challenges challenging peoeple to get the fastest time on ridge racer, giving me motivation to play the game, may be setting up a score topic for one of your games could be the answer?

[nips]

I'm in the exact opposite position. I've got my 3 games sorted.

I've just finished my exams and I have vowed to complete both Zelda:TWW and Metroid Prime, and get some good scores on Ikaruga.

I've got the three on a cycle. It is great! Whenever Metriod gets too much for me, I relax on Ikaruga for a while, try to get some good chains going. Then when that annoys me relax out on Zelda, maybe get the ol' brain working on a couple of puzzles...

Perfection!

Im struggling to spend time playing -

PS2 (JAP)

ICO
VF evo
Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
MGS 2 substance
Silent Hill 3 (when its released in the nippon)

Xbox

Steel Battalion
Panzer Orta

DC

third strike

Saturn

Castlvania SOTN
Burning Ranger

Game Cube (when it arrives)

monkey ball
nba street
Skie of arcadia
SMS
Lost Kingdom (when it arrives)

Went a bit off topic i guess. One way to deal with this situation is will power, to stay with a game till its conquered! My advice is to not play any games for say a week, then you'll want to play with em even more!

Glamorous problem, people



And yes, I suffer from it also.

The trick is to sell the old stuff. You'll miss it sometimes but if you buy as many games as we do then there's always something fresh to replace them with.

I try never to have more than 6 games for each console. I've been finishing (or at least getting very far in ) alot of games recently which is a good sign.

[Bedroom Businessman]

Im bogged down in loads of games at the moment (1 exam left)

GC
SoAL
Ikaruga
Zelda

PS2
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross
Xenogears
Amplitude

Xbox
KFC
Panzer Dragoon Orta

GBA
Castlevania HOD/ COTM (at final boss of both!)

I did myself a favour and lent out my Cube, along with a step down which also powered my Xbox. I've only my JPN PS2 so I've been playing Rez's Area 5 cos I cant get over how wicked this track is! Then I've been sampling Psyvariar sound effects (through the hidden Sound Test option) and producing Ambient Drum on my PC with some LEVEL UP.
