What are you gaming habits?

leftyguitarjoe · 05-08-2012, 06:25 PM

Just curious is all.

I havent played a video game in about a month or so. I have this weird cycle where I will go 1-3 months without so much as turning my xbox on. Then a game I was looking forward to will come out and I'll commit all my free time for a few weeks to beating and doing everything in the game. Then the state of dormancy occurs again.

I really dont plan on playing anything till Resident Evil 6 comes out. I only have 3 games haha. Halo Reach, Skyrim, and Mass Effect 3.

I play all of the big blockbusters each year from beginning to end, but I don't do all of the side bs. I use gamefly so I normally just beat the main story of every big game, skyrim, mass effect, ect... I really don't have the time to do all of the extras like I used to.

My cycle is essentially the same as yours OP, but I'll easily go a year or so without gaming

troyguitar · 05-08-2012, 07:40 PM

Same thing, I go in cycles. I also play very few games. The games I've played released in the past 10 years are: WoW, WarCraft III, League of Legends, a week of CoD:MW2, and 2 days of SW:TOR. In a week I'll add Diablo III to that list.

GhostsofAcid · 05-08-2012, 08:36 PM

Everything Bethesda touches I'll generally play, and if it's a Fallout or TES title than the next two months of my life are spoken for

I also try to keep up with all the Halo games as I really enjoy that franchise.

Other than that, not much at all. If extreme boredom strikes I might play an older game, not much interest in most newer games as I hate the DLC/multiplayer emphasis of newer games. Currently replaying Half Life 2.

Stealthdjentstic · 05-08-2012, 08:59 PM

I used to be pretty consistant but since Ive had my back problems I havent really played much. :/

BIG ND SWEATY · 05-08-2012, 09:27 PM

once summer comes around if i have nothing to do ill easily play 10-12 hours a day

but thats only if i have nothing going on those days.

texshred777 · 05-08-2012, 10:01 PM

Same for me, OP. I'll go months without even turning the Xbox on except for movies and netflix, then will play a lot of games for a couple to a few months.

Rock4ever · 05-09-2012, 10:06 AM

Skyrim and Mass Effect are games I plowed through in a purposeful manner. Mostly though it's me playing a game for 3-4 hrs and not picking it up again for months. Even on Arkham Asylum, though I'm glad I found my way back to that one and completed it.

Games like WoW I play for 3-6 months and get burnt out. I think with mysts I might just buy it when the last expansion hits. It's too difficult to maintain a sustainable level of interest through an xp's life.

Xaios · 05-09-2012, 11:13 AM

Pretty much the same. I'll play the hell out of something for a short period of time, then just... stop. Doesn't matter if I finish the game, I'll go from full throttle to nothing in a day.

It's not just videogames either, it's for books as well. For example, once I started reading A Song of Ice and Fire series, I *plowed* through A Game Of Thrones, A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, and about half of A Feast For Crows, then I just stopped. For months. Then one day I picked up A Feast For Crows again right where I had left off and plowed through the rest of it, along with A Dance With Dragons.

Mexi · 05-10-2012, 11:31 AM

I generally go in cycles of playing more or less games than usual, but I usually play something at least once every couple days

7thstringofa7thstring · 05-10-2012, 05:44 PM

I tend to play anything I'm actually interested in six months to a year after release.

The Uncreator · 05-10-2012, 06:26 PM

Its Friday, 4:30pm and I just got home from work.

I take a shower and change clothes, it is now 5:00pm.

From 5-6pm I cook then eat dinner.

6:30 pm I clean my living room, make it spotless as to appear brand new.

7:00 pm - I turn on my xbox 360, insert (Witcher 2, Mass Effect 3, Battlefied 3, Skyrim, etc.)

Slide on my headset, crank the volume. and open up a can of Arizone Arnold Palmer half and half.

7:10pm - 2:00 am

I am no longer a man, I am (A witcher, Galaxy saving space marine, Nord Warrior, Elite Recon/ Support Solider)

Don Vito · 05-11-2012, 11:10 AM

I refuse to play a story driven game without an empty house.

Same goes for movies. I hate when you're trying to get into something and someone is making racket or walking around.

BornToLooze · 05-11-2012, 04:07 PM

Right now mine consists of trying to get my Xbox to work
