My bad gaming habit

90 hours? No offense, dude, but for a multiplayer game you've been playing for 3 and a half years, 90 hours isn't exactly a lot.

Good point, now that I think of it, that is waaay too low. I remember seeing that number on my play hours page, maybe it was incorrect.
Will do a double check tonight and repost to show how much of a recluse I really am. lol.

I have the problem where I will start playing a game (PS3) about half way, then I stop playing. Then when I want to continue playing it again later, I find that I get killed easily in these more difficult parts of the games, because I cannot really remember the controls...

Then I usually stop playing the game completely...

I have a drawer full of games, and I have only finished two of them :)

This is exactly what happens to me. Also when I need to buy something, I buy games. Then I feel too guilty to start them without finishing the other "new" game I just bought.

Hence me being on the forums atm.

I have two games I'm dying to play but just can't yet...

I have this horrible habbit of buying a game, playing it for an hour, then moving onto something else.

I rarely play one game for longer than 30mins-1hr, unless the game absolutely grabs me (Uncharted, The Witcher). But then the next new game comes out and the game falls into the backlog...

I start playing a game and my little one cries, then I stop and sometimes never go back to it :-(
 
My bad habit is that I get totally hung up on doing side quests. Skyrim is kicking my ass, every time you try clear a quest, you pick up 3 more.

I know what you mean dude, that game is the worst nightmare of anyone with a short attention span. I'll have to take two weeks off to attempt to play it.
 
My bad habit of gaming, I play the game, then stop because I get bored, then go back playing it after a year.
 
Because we are spoiled.With so many choices and new games almost every day. It is tough not to be.

My bad gaming habit is overplaying new games I receive. I get a new game, steam roll through it within a day or two, play it too much over weekends if it is MP. Within a week or two I am bored and in dire need of a new fix and then the cycle just resets.

Hoping this will stop with GW2 because it is such a big game.
 
I go one further. I have dozens of games on my shelf that I have literally never played. They even have the shrink wrap still on them. Some I don't even ever intend on playing...

Im slowly getting into that habit myself, I have two games that I have never opened even though I know they're awesome. Dead Space 2 and Metro 2033.
 
To many games demands so much of our time and get released on the same month. Its a bother to even buy new games these days when I got one sitting on the shelf without even played over 5-6 hours.
I wish some games were less awesome so I can just ignore them.

I get a new game, play it flat out and get fairly far. Then I stop playing because Im bored of it so I shelf it till Im keen again.
When I start playing again(months later) I finish it in an hour or less because thats how close I was to the end and Im left thinking 'is that it?'. Its happened now with Half Life 2 and Saints Row 3 this week both awesome games but the overall impact of seeing the credits roll has been lost.

I call it Gaming A.D.D. or Gaming Schitzo.

I think many people experience Gaming ADD, though I think it's due to games lately rather than the players.
 
These days games just dont grab me as much :) however i do go back to those i enjoy and i tend to play online if i can rather than rpg or single player. Mmorpg i stay away from tooo not worth money u spend if u get bored after a weekend.
 
I finish all my games on Xbox. I think the achievement system plays a big part to encourage game completion.

PS gives you the same achievements. They just call them trophies. Doesn't Steam give awards too now?
