Then there's remasters, ports, and sequels, many of have the same name as their originals (KIller Instinct (SNES and XBone), Super Smash Bros (64 and Wii U/3DS, Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis and '06)). There's also the fact that many games have different titles between regions, like in the UK where all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games have to be renamed Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles. Unless someone with an eidetic memory were shown every video game in existence (at least everything that counts as a video game) there's no way someone could recite them all from memory.

Personally I like finishing games. Playing isn’t substantial, when someone asks me if I’ve played a game and I haven’t finished it, I don’t feel comfortable telling them that yes I’ve played that game, for example I played maybe 1/3rd of Bayonetta, but I don’t feel like I can say I’ve played it with a straight face even though I technically have. Same with Yakuza, Final Fantasy 7, Tales of Symphonia, God of War, Spider-Man and lots more. All games I’ve played but have not finished, and all games I don’t like telling people I’ve “played.” Completing on the other hand is just too consuming and often times can turn a fun experience into a drag. I love the Kingdom Hearts games for instance, but I have never completed them because there is so much grinding involved in those games that completing them just wouldn’t be fun even though I really enjoy them. So finishing games is the sweet spot I think, finishing + the fun side stuff is good too.

One of, if not my favorite aspect of playing games that I haven't before is the relationship I build with them over time. For instance, playing Chrono Trigger and Cross for the first time last year kept my brain coming back to them, their excellent soundtracks, lore, and story until I replayed them again this year, experiencing them in a whole new perspective. I also love how repeated playthroughs allow you to learn games more efficiently, often avoiding irritating and frustrating aspects of them that can plague blind runs w/out the fear of spoilers.

I have a monstrous backlog and I prioritize games with a "save the best for last" mentality. This video was the EXACT wake up call I needed. I'm 23, my life is already a quarter of the way done. I'm only just playing Persona 5 now and I still haven't played FF7, Dragon Quest 11, Mario Odyssey, BoTw, Three Houses, Xenoblade 2 or even the last three most recent Pokemon games. And now I realize that if I prioritize games with the mind set of saving the ones I KNOW I'll enjoy the most for last, there's a very real possibility that I may die before I even get to them. And that's not even taking into account of books, TV, anime, movies or the number of games I plan on playing infinitely like MMOS and fighting games too. There's just too much good stuff that already exists AND is always coming out. So its time I take control of my life and prioritize games that I know I'll like the most and if I'm all out of that, THEN I'll dive into the niche ones that I'm interested in. I was really hyped when Bravely Default 2 was announced. I need to remember how that made me feel and only buy the games that make me feel that way. It's time to stop building the backlog and start assblasting it!

Yeah, the Metacritic page of games with a score over 80 is very questionable, I could easily reduce it by 50% with barely any effort.
@UltimateGamerCC4 жыл бұрын
for me a good game ranges around 60, here's my scope on video game scores: 10-30 Bad 40-50 Mediocre 60-70 Good 80-90 Great 95-100 God Tier

Seeing all these comments from people saying they play over seven hours a day, I can only assume that you are all teenagers, or at least unemployed. If you work forty hours a week, then you usually only get one hour of gaming a day, if that much. There have been many times where I haven't been able to play games for a week or more just because I've been too busy. Being an adult stinks.

Ugh, I can definitely agree. Between my dead-end retail job and my working towards my engineering degree in college, I've had to miss out on so many new releases due to my focus on exams and projects.

the pandemic definitely contributes to increased gaming time though unless this is how much they would play before than you would be right

I could certainly fit in more than 1 hour of gaming a day alongside my 40 hour job. Taking into account travel, exercise, eating, maintaining basic hygiene ect. I could definitely find 2 or 3 hours to play a video game every night. It would just inadvertently mean doing absolutely nothing else with my free time.

Even just accounting for personal taste, the question suddenly becomes 'Do I want to play every *good* game?'. Aside from the fact that sitting all day staring at a screen negatively impacts your life, so does forcing yourself to commit your leisure time to games you're not enjoying. It may even lead to you harming your own love for gaming overall, so the answer being no is more of a positive overall in my opinion. Just play what YOU think is good and you'll be gucci, that's what really matters in the long run.

Oh silly Jwittz, before the age of 15 is prime time for gaming. Not joking, I started at age4, mastered Devil May Cry 2 by age 5 and I literally played a video game everyday, unless I got grounded, all the way to age 21, where I still play today. At least 3-5 hours a day with my record being 25 hours straight. Sure, I'm an outliar, but I've met SO MANY kids in my life that have similar stories and I still know a few that haven't really changed. Even when we work and exercise, we still find time to game.

There are so many good games that I only ever buy game snow if they are on sale with a few exceptions such as Silksong when it releases. It's totally possible if you devote all your leisure time to games, cut down on sleep, some games can be played with one hand so eat while playing, get someone else to do other activities for you like shopping and cooking.

You collect and rotate when get lost/frustrated. Digital Sales and preorder physical bonuses help for the full price ones. Gaming is like a random event, and I'm not even talking card/board products. We're no longer in an age where we need something to last like Chrono trigger with replay value, or be Nintendo hard.

I have a method for video game time management that has so far worked very well for me. I've nearly completed every game on my "to-play" list, even though it does grow gradually over time. 1. Play only genres I like. With rare exception, I don't enjoy "chill" games like Animal Crossing all that much. I'll play them for about 5-10 hours, then get bored. Sometimes I'll do that just to cross a game off my life. 2. Don't play grindy games. RPGs, optional missions, open world games. If the grind can be avoided or skipped, like in Monster Hunter, where you can focus only on one weapon tree and play through the story, I'll do that. If that's not an option, I skip the game entirely. 3. Don't play games for the story. Lots of games have terrible gameplay but great stories. If that's the case, I just watch the cutscenes on KZbin, usually at increased speed if it tends to drag. This is how I got through the Drakengard series, for instance. I'm doing the same for Fate:GO right now. 4. Play several at a time. No better way to make yourself sick of a game than to force yourself to beat it before playing another one. I play several games at a time, limit myself to 30m - 1h of playtime of each per day, then use my remaining time for other things. 5. Good games only. Don't waste time on mediocre releases. 6. Don't repeat play game sequels. I enjoyed the first Call of Duty, but they release a new one every year, and they're too similar for me to enjoy them. For this same reason, I also skipped Twilight Princess HD and Windwaker HD. They do have some key differences, but I've beaten these games before, and I have no interest in playing them again.

*Super Metroid: Completionist: 9 hours* uh that doesnt sound right, but i might just be thinking of of the completion time bonus of beating the game in under 3 in-game hours. although im pretty sure when i played it on VC back in the day that i used a guide to find all items and i somehow still got in under 3 in-game hours.
