I think of myself as a gamer. But I think I'd fit more into a Specialist category.

I focus on MMORPGs and FPS. My library on those games are through the roof.

But sports and fighting games never interested me, so I know very little on those subjects. Same for single player adventure type games like Dragon Age, Tomb Raider, The Last of Us, Elder Scrolls, Assassins Creed, etc... All great games I'm sure but I'm a very social/competitive gamer. So If the game doesn't fit my niche I tend to just pass on it.

I started doing this, but then BF4 got me back in the game. Now I've been a lot more active, but my backlog is full of stuff that I have bought and never even loaded up yet.

I wonder who you talking about?

there's definitely a few posters that seem to not care about games outside of the 'console wars'

I'm all about the solo adventure/action type of games. I also hop on the hyped FPS's (playing the campaign of course) when they come out, get decent online, then lose interest. I also get every 2K, but I haven't really played them hard since 2K11.

Last of Us, Uncharted, Skyrim, Batman: Arkham, Tomb Raider, Far Cry, GTA, etc I'm all over those games. I also like the Nintendo classics, but I don't have a Wii U... yet.

I don't game as heavily as I used to (barely even get fighters in much, but it's there's a lot of factors in that where some are independent of my own parts within that situation), as I used to game like 20-30 hours a week easily. Since becoming a family man and both myself and misses being in school, I may game a third of that time per week. Still though, gaming is my absolute, pound for pound #1 hobby, so I definitely still get a good 5-10 hours a week in, if I'm lucky and I would rather be doing that that damn near anything else that isn't necessary or regarding my family (even then, that's sometimey, cuz family can be annoying as fukk and games are only usually annoying if there's lag for MP games or some really glitcy bullshyt in SP games). Most similar situated, "like-minded", "busier" people that would say they don't have time for games or would look at me with some faux skust in their eyes to know that I still prioritize some gaming time despite having a family, liable to still bullshyt and watch tv or do some club shyt more hours of a week than I do with gaming, so I be like, miss me with that ole bullshyt. I'll schedule days off to get games in either alone or with my homie if we both decide to take off just to have a chunk of day of uninterrupted gaming. Whenever I'm not "busy" and am free of time and not tired, I'll be playing something or another, at least for a few minutes at a time. I'm a true gamer to heart and to the death.

One of my main gaming problems of now isn't even so much about getting around to playing some games, but moreso outright finishing them. The issue with me is that I have a pretty varied and vast gaming tastes and moods for which games I want to play. A lot of good games that come out all throughout the year, I have legit interest in them enough to buy or at least accept and download if free thru PSN+ and the like and will get to playing them, but since there's so many, I don't always beat them before trying other games. It's not even a lack of interest or problem with some games holding/keeping my interest as is that there's so many games that I have a solid interest in them and definitely just don't have the time to divulge into them all as thoroughly as I'd like. I'd hope that in death and in heaven, one part of it for me would be to be able to spend as much gotdamn time as I fukking want to play all the games I've ever wanted to play to their entirety and repeatedly.

the thing that bugs me is it's hard to even get people here to talk about games if there isn't some 'console wars' angle to exploit. or the thread just gets totally sidetracked with that shyt. that recent thread about why games don't run off the disc anymore was a good example

or when I post something like this:

AAA games are too safe to try anything new and different. it's like the best they can do is trying to mash together mechanics from previously successful games, or just straight up remaking those previously successful games

and @Prodigal Syndicate responds with some superman reference. what am I 'caping' with that post?
