a better question is how/when do you decide to drop a game?

You know the kind of guy who talks shit about all games and realizes that he thinks all of them suck?
Well, that was me.
Every time I hear something good about a game I'd spin it into something bad.
>Being a faggot
That's when I realized I had to change.
So I made a list of every game I shat on and one by one I'm going to try them out.
I'm just trying to play some vidya.
My name is Anon.

>>344076743
Half of these sound perfectly justifiable.

Usually it's whatever I feel like. But when that fails, I use a random selecting formula in excel.
>>
>>344077271
What is this formula?
>>
>>344077501
just use random.org and assign a number to each game and spin the wheel of chance
>>
>>344076743
what is this?

I made a huge list because I'm a huge autist. 2 columns, handheld and console/PC games. Ranked based on interest and upcoming games. Like how I want to play the original Deus Ex before Mankind divided. Currently playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions
HLTB is "how long to beat" based on howlongtobeat.com
>>
Either the first thing that really catches my attention, or I'll already have a mental list going of what I wanted to play, not like I need to spend hours since I just buy vidya I like.
>>
>>344073439
I take a nail and hammer it in to a testicle. How many blood drops decides what I play.

I have My Game Collection for Android, everytime I get a new game I add to it. Then I put a tag "must play" and choose later.

What?
>>
if a game looks like its gonna take long to finish or if i think its gonna be good and will want to immerse myself and finish it in a few sessions - i put it off for later when i have more time and play something endless (mmo /mobas) or mediocre instead
often this something mediocre turns out to be really good
>>
I look them over and try to remember my greatest moment in that game and if I get hype I play it.
>>
>>344073439
I've got a list of "to play" notepad, and a list of "to get" bookmarked folder. if i'm bored I look around those until one stands out and sounds okay.

if none do, I don't bother, video games are boring enough without me forcing myself to play them. used to be able to fuck around on sc/bw for hours, now I quit within minutes

It's an app, it have HLTB database linked to it.
You can filter by time and things,
>>
Usually first the genre and then from that genre I pick the one that's most played but unfinished. If multiple games there are finished I pick the one that's the furthest back

Or simply at random
>>
>>344079934
Didnt know there was an app. I still prefer the spreadsheet because its all in one spot
>>
>>344079934
My game Database?
>>
I don't buy games I don't plan on playing.
>>
are all of you retarded faggots?
{spoiler] just play whatever you can get your hands on [/spoiler]
names don't matter neither do scores or reviews, stop being lazy and form your own opinions,don't disqualify a game just because you've never heard of it, you never know when you'll come across a hidden gem that'll let you create some great memories.

I live in the moment man, whatever im feeling I just play it. Usually think like, one game ahead and I tend to play 2/3 games at a time. I have one main game and a side game for when I'm sick of the other one or not in the mood.

So right now I'm playing Witch 3 DLC, ZoE2 and OW and planning to pick up either Nier or SMT DDS

No problem.

Now the only way you can fail is if it's a board that doesn't use spoiler texting
