i'm set for the next 9 games. no shortage one bit.

3 lego
3 artifex mundi
3 sypro

it's not going to be done in that order. more than likely i'll start in the next round 3 artifex mundi and 2 lego games (not consecutively) followed by the last lego game being 60 hours to complete. thank god for the holiday sale.

still working on fallout 4. supposed to be done hopefully by monday only have 2 questlines and 2 DLC content.

Lol I've got about that many games I want to play but I can't decide

I really need to just boot one up and go, but I've had this problem since I was a kid. If I get overwhelmed by options, I end up having the hardest time just going with one.

This morning I played

Halo MCC
Halo 5
RDR 2
Fortnite
DOOM
Sea of Thieves

Another problem is that I tend to end up sucked into games that are nearly bottomless and very "hooky." It's often WoW but right now it's Smash Bros and trying to finish every Classic Mode, get every spirit, etc. It's hard to commit to the task of playing and beating another game when there's that perpetual sense of unfinished business. I like finishing one game before I move onto another, which is difficult with the kinds of games that you never really finish.

I was doing well between my last WoW binge and Smash, made it through the Crash trilogy, Hollow Knight, Dark Souls, and D3 Switch, beating the first two 100% and the second two about as much as you can ever "beat" them. Now I'm stuck, lol, and even just the big-name games I've got on my plate are overwhelming.

I used to have this cause my backlog is yuge

I got over it by just launching the first game I really feel like playing and forgetting about the others until I finish that one

I thought game paralysis was when you are presented with different choices to proceed such as what skill to attribute or path to take next and you can't decide on what to do, so you sit in limbo.

This hits too hard

Especially with Skyrim

choices in games are great, but sometimes it's not so great and it's overwhelming >_>

avoiding that one for a couple rounds. won't take on 100+ hour games. anything within 75 is fine currently.

Yeah. Somehow getting older and having more money to spend on games has made me less likely to play them.

time

It's funny, i can get stuck on one game but if it's the only game i have, i'll soldier through.
Have ten games? The slightest annoyance (MY EYES! THIS RED BACKGROUND IS TOO RED!) and i switch.

How is it i'm more likely to get bored with a game just because i have others ready to go?
---

yeah, this usually happens when there isn't anything that i'm Really Into at the time
