So many games, so little time...How do you find the time?

[Hood Critic]

Serious discussion brehs...

Where do you find the time to squeeze in your gaming? I have such a back crazy PS3/PS4/PSVita back log, not to mention I'd like to start playing WoW again, grab the new Shadowrun content off of Steam, check out some Wii U titles since I just copped it for MK8.

I try to play at night when the old lady and kids are sleep but sh*t, I'm tired myself at that time and if I'm not and I stay up late, I regret it the next day.

How do you all manage?

If I know a game I wanna play is coming out (ie GTA V, Watch Dogs) I usually book the day off work to get alone time to play. If not Sat mornings while wife and kids are sleeping in I wake up early to play or when they napping in the afternoon. Night time is the worst since I get tired around 10-11 nowadays and am already playing mario kart 8 with the girl.

Bro, I'm single and have the same problem. So a family doesn't matter. Sometimes I be too busy working or doing other stuff. I have games from black Friday I still need to play. I'm the worst gamer in regards to consistency. I get bored with it easily.

Yeah, I do the late night thing too, but some days, I'll just say fukk em and play my damn games during mid-early evening. I cook the food and the kids are fed and well attended for and the momma gotta do something too. Plus, we're both actually in school, so it's even less time with that, two kids and a full time job. But I still get like 7-10 hours of gaming in a week. Some days no gaming at all, some days, 2-3 hours. Mostly on weekends does it reach or exceed 3 hours though and even then, it's usually split up thru a few hours early in the morning (I'm the first awake usually when we don't have to be awake) and some late in the evening or some point mid-day if the rest of them are out the house or asleep. It helps that I don't really watch much tv nor am I heavily into traditional sports (only MMA/boxing, and even those I don't HAVE to watch, just will when chilling with friends). Also, maybe 1nce or 2wice in a week, every few weeks or so, I may get an 1/2 hour to a full hour during lunch in with the vita (remote play ftw). Trying to get my music and martial arts time squeezed into the mix again though, which is gonna be even tougher.

We don't. We just have bigger and bigger backlogs
Then we feel depressed because we can't get to them all
And you feel guilty when you buy a new game, because you already know
You tell yourself it'll be different this time. But it always ends up exactly the same
Don't go thru that bruh, just kill yourself now and ease the pain

This is why I don't believe people when they say they don't have anything to play.

 

[CrimsonTider]

I don't really have a backlog because I only buy one game at a time and play that until finish with it.

I try to follow this but it usually doesn't work out.

I'm damn near finished with SMT4 but more games kept coming out...and they just kept calling me

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

I still gotta play Batman Arkham Asylum, City and Origins .. and Force Unleashed 1 & 2 ...

This is why I don't believe people when they say they don't have anything to play.

sometimes it depends on what mood you in ... you got stuff to play but you dont feel like playing xyz or you only got like a hour of free and dont wanna start abc game

I love games and deals too much for that shyt breh.

Truthfully, come August, I more than likely won't have the time. I'll squeeze gaming in when possible, but I won't be able to play nearly as much as I want to. I'm still grabbing the titles that interest me, it will probably just take me awhile to finish them.

this isnt possible for pc gamers

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

I try to stick with buying two games at a time like one shooter one rpg,finish them and go on to something else, but cot damn microsoft with xbox live sales and with the new gen here.. games for 360 have gone down in price. I got a crazy backlog Iam in the same boat trying to find time.

 

[acri1]

Yeah, I don't even have kids and I still have a crazy backlog.

Just working full time makes it hard to find gaming time. But typically Sunday is my main day for gaming. With occasional long stretches on Saturday morning/afternoon depending on if I have anything to do that day. I may play a couple Street Fighter matches during the week but I usually avoid any serious gaming, if for no other reason than that I'll end up staying up too late and be at work the next day.
