>tfw have multiple games that aren't finished but don't feel like playing any of them

How do y'all deal with this shit?

You either pick one and just roll with it, or wait to get an urge years later.

I'm actually thinking of setting up a schedule to finish up all the old games I didn't finish, since the hard part for me is figuring out how test compatibility with some of these really old games. Once I start playing I know I'll have a blast, but the hard part is getting the ball rolling.

I watch anime/movies or read books instead

Sometimes I pick up a random game from my huge backlog and play for half an hour but I always get the feeling that games are for retarded children and I wonder how I could have spent so much time on them, then quit. And the cycle repeats

>>335736043

Well I think in that scenario you never really liked the game to start with. It's not worth the effort to play a game you don't like.

The exception are games like Deus Ex where you have to get past the dull opening for the game to become amazing, in which case you need to toughen up and get through it to get to the part where you're hooked.

Anime is for mature adults though!

>>335736767
Anime episodes are around 23 minutes long, so they end before I get tired of watching them.

I'm really enjoying playing multiple games right now, Shadow Warrior for single player fun, SFV for multiplayer and Crypt of the Necrodancer for mindless fun.

At the rate I'm going with playing KOTOR I might be done with it this time next year.

Play good games and not play for the sake of killing boredom.

VLR and Ghost Trick aren't hard to knock out. VLR's flowchart means a lot less repetition compared to 999. I beat Ghost Trick today and I can't see anyone taking too long on it. It's linear with easy as hell puzzles.

I sub to game rental services and use redbox for brand new AAA games. The more games on your hand, pirated or otherwise, the less value each one holds and none of them become appealing to you. I realized this about a decade ago, when I had downloaded way too many movies/anime. Now I'm pretty happy with whatever I got, which is technically none at all.

There's no reason to feel obligated to finish a game you don't like

Try genres you don't normally play, I got real hooked on rhythm games recently

Same.

The only way I can fix it is with an external backlog tracking service. I haven't watched anime in a few months but it's working for me.

I'm at a point where I literally have to force myself every day to start a game or anime.

then, when I'm finally at it I greatly enjoy the stuff I play/watch and hate myself for not starting earlier.

It's pretty weird.

I don't play them. Easy peasy.

That being said, I usually finish games that I like, and I don't play more than two different games at any one time.
