The Blackangel Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Does anyone else sometimes feel like you have too many games? Sometimes I do. Out of all the systems I have that I still play I probably have at least 2000 games. Hell, I have 125 DDL's on my Switch alone. I have 23 physical carts, most of which are multi-game carts. The Systems I Play: Atari 2600 NES SNES N64 Switch Game Boy (GBASP to be specific so as not to have to keep buying batteries) Sega Genesis PS1 PS3 PS4 PS5 Xbox One Of those 12 systems, I know I have at least 2000 games. Also I'm not counting our PS2, PSP, Xbox, Xbox 360, Game Cube, Wii, and Series X/S games as that would increase the number quite a bit. Of those the only ones we even play are the Xbox Series X/S. The others are retired. So I know I have too damn many games. Many of which I have multiple copies. For example I have 8 copies of SMB3. The reason is that I buy game bundles a lot, and I've just ended up with them. I have 2 systems CIB. An NES, and a Sears Home Video Arcade. Interesting to point out is that until I got that Sears, I had no idea the machine even existed. Another interesting thing I would like to point out is that there's only one game franchise that, since its inception, I haven't found a single release that I didn't like. Mario Kart.

Rain Dew Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 @The Blackangel you do have too many games. Heck I don’t even have that many video games. On the other hand I have even more than that in movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I do. I have games from consoles I don't even have yet, and probably wont end up even getting. I have a bunch of Wii & Xbox games for example, but haven't had a Wii or origianl Xbox to play them on forever now. And there are a lot of PS2 games I now own that I have yet to play after getting some from thrift stores and game trading sites. But it's a relatively small collection of games at the moment. I sadly sold most of my PS1, PS2, N64 games and more years back. Which I regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Sure do. I have so many games not only ones that I have bought but also ones that I have gained access to through either Nintendo Switch Online or Game Pass and my backlog of games just keeps growing and growing. Most I will probably never play as I don't have a lot of time to be able to play them but I am hoping that I will be able to play quite a few of them when I have the time. So many games, so little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 That's how my Steam Catalog feels lol - like honestly, why do I have so many freaking games that I said I was going to play but never got around to them. The Blackangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Not really... this might be a problem for people who get physical games, but I've only bought digital ones for a decade now. (Indeed, I no longer have any means of playing physical games!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we do have a hell of a lot of movies, I can guarantee that you have nowhere near as many movies as I do games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Indeed, I no longer have any means of playing physical games!) I've also gone all digital for a decade now and that's the issue I have - my Steam catalogue has at least 350 - 400 games, half of which I have no idea when I'm ever going to play them and I just keep buying even more games. Maybe I need some sort of counselling for this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 I totally get you. As I've said, I have 125 DDL's on my Switch. I've played maybe 10 of them. I keep getting games that look like a lot of fun, and are right up my alley. But after I buy them and they download, I tend to forget that I even have them, or what they're even about. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when I look in my Steam Library and go alright I'm going to play that game tomorrow...except tomorrow turns into never lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowHammerYou Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I know I have too many games, probably around 300-400. It's to the point where I have a hard time deciding what I want to play whenever I do play video games. For that reason and others I've decided that from Gen 9 onwards, I'm limiting myself to only one console per gen and only 10 games per console. Not sure what I'm getting for gen 9, though. My plan was to get a Switch 2 so I could at least play pokemon games, but given the serious quality control issues with the most recent pokemon games I no longer feel like they're a safe choice. I might get a PS5 Slim instead (or Pro if that turns out to be real). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
