I have a few games that never get to be played despite wanting them so desperately at one time, and doubt they will do anything other than occupying the shelf for the rest of their lives. Any one has the same problem? Or just sell them right away without playing?

Some games in the shelf include Bioshock, Doom 3, all the NIS games..

Wow, I have this "problem" too.

Can anybody help me?

What games seem to be the problem?

Well, mostly hit PS3 titles i.e Assassin's Creed II, BioShock 1, BioShock 2, Demon's Souls, Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time.. and.. er.. what else aa.. forgot dy, too many

Maybe someday I'll find the time to open them up and play them but for now, it's true what you say, they just sit there and occupy the empty space for the rest of their lives LOL

I don't understand why I ever bought those FPS titles knowing I can never get into them, may be just some soft spots some of them. As for NIS titles this generation is really lacking in JRPGs, and NIS titles just isn't JRPGs type that I have hoped for (sadly too much chance was given each time they release)

Most of the retro games that i bought are just occupying the sheleves.
but they look good on the sheleves. guess will let it stay that way

sad that gundam don't like that said FPS games , cos I was like replay them more than 2 times already

damn I miss Doom 3

same dilemma here...

i think now I got almost 20 games sitting at the shelf there, they all are my "most wanted to play" games, but just can't find the time & energy to complete them

always got distracted by newer "most wanted" games

you can always sell it to me cheap-cheap~ i offer RM20 + shipping for playbox Bioshock.

You buy games also never play one

i always wished i can have 28 hours in a day

the extra 4 hour for my gaming need

then i won't be i such a dilemma of buying games but dun have time to complete them... feel so sorry for those games left there collecting dust

Wow, so us gamers have this problem now!? I have waaaaaay too many games I bought, sometimes on release week, then didn't touch. On PC alone, I have Baldur's Gate II, Neverwinter Nights, Red Alert 2 (collector's edition!), Medal of Honour Allied Assault... nevermind, too many games. More recently, I have Resistance 2, Brutal Legend, Final Fantasy XIII, Heavy Rain.... wait a minute. Almost all of my new purchases are still unopened! Add to that, my eternally uncompleted backlog of PS1/PS2/DC/GBA/Xbox/X360 games... yeah, good luck with that.

same problem here
probably should see psychiatrist
got the urge to buy more games
but never got time to finish or even play some of them
got so many already even from my ps2 era not played
now got ps3, those games doomed to be on the shelf for years
selling them? no way, because i didn't play them yet

Another type of games that I keep on buying but not playing are those fighting games. I have to admit I'm not really a good player in fighting games and always want improve by praticing. At the end of the day those games are just over looked and never been into the consoles.

do you have SSF4? add me jom, don't worry I'm noob too

i will sell them when i need money to buy newer games...but wii one i don't sell coz those i consider rare

Really? The only games I put in serious time these days are fighting games, because I can pick up and play, and not worry about dedication to the game. I'll play some BlazBlue story mode, save, then come back to it another day. Or some Virtua Fighter 5, or Tekken 6. Games that I can play in short sessions. Unless it's Street Fighter III 3rd Strike. It's still bloody impossible for me to 1 credit finish that game!

No SF4, since I told myself no to SF anymore after 3rd Strike

For pick up and play games, I choose shmups over fighting games. I still want to get a lot of Neo Geo fighters, but deep down inside I know they won't be played

Y not after 3rd?

Because I feEl like being conned by Capcom, making cheap bosses Same goes to some KoF, 2000, 2002..

same here, stopped playing fighting games after they introduced those uber powerful cheap bosses... I'm already sucked at fighting games, and yet they introduce a impossible to beat cheap bosses

I'm also getting less patient in playing RPGs, which used to be my favourite games... too time consuming IMO, and most of the time fall asleep while playing it

Now i prefer something simple & straight forward, like fps or shooting games, which can keep me awake & can jump in & out of the games anytime

HAHA Happened to me too...last time it was FF13. I woke up the next morning on the couch

keep on buying games, and play it one by one

what's d problem. lot of games i haven't finish playing. actually, if u want to put it another way, all games i never finish playing. is like owning a car, u don't drive it all the time. and u r never finished driving it

game n car diff thing lar...

gaming is just like reading a book, you want to finish the book to know the ending, but unfortunately you can't cheat in gaming like reading the book by flipping to the last chapter and know the ending

anyhoo... gaming is about the journey, not the destination

play naruto

I play all my games...wait...why i even post here...

Me too!!!

I felt very tired of JRPG after attempting to play FF13. Then I started playing kids games like Cars, Shrek, Spiderman... They are FUN! And I completed all of them. Now, I missed JRPG again

Then go and buy, plenty of them, and never play them

In the process of sapu-ing the JRPG in XBOX360 Pasar Malam Thread

time and effort plays most of it.. and if you have other choices of game.. the less interessting ones are left aside..

this also relates to GREED

used to have this disease during ps2 lanun era...now is recovering

already hardly got time for my xbox30 games, and haven't touch my NDSL for months, and yet just bought a PSP & PS3 recently
Already knew I won't have time for those two and yet I still couldn't resist to buy

GREED? IMPULSIVE BUYING?

Maybe for us guys when come to gaming is like girls do shopping
just couldn't resist to splurge on it, especially when it's at bargain price, even knowing that we will never have time to play them

and oso burnt pocket

Final fantasy 13! its been sitting there!

Hah! I thought I was the only one. LOL

At least FF13 is still in my PS3 (played about an hour, since May)

dun let it stuck too long inside..later hard to take it out...jammed inside

10 years.. PS3 supposedly can last 10 years
