Am I just a bit odd and am the only person that can sit there for a good half an hour deciding on what game to re-play looking through my library of games?

It always happens when I want to play something else and want to re-play a great game. For the past week or so I have kept thinking about re-playing Resident Evil 2 on my PS1, but then I think of finally completing the entire Tomb Raider series, then I think "I would like to re-play Metal Gear Solid" or get some more achievements on games that I haven't got the easy ones/many on on my Xbox 360. Or simply just deciding which Call of Duty to re-play and get addicted to the online with again... and a lot of the time eventually I will just play the game I have been playing a lot lately, and thensometimes going back to what I was originally going to play then and there 2 days later.

Is there anybody else like this? basically you can sit there for ages or keep putting thoughts off and just play what game you have been playing a lot anyway in the end as you just can't make up your mind?

I am sooo like that! I'm the gamer in the family so my husband just doesn't understand my self inflicted dilemma! He thinks I should just 'buy a new game' but some times I just feel the need to re-visit. Sometimes to replay from scratch, other times to play devil's advocate ... as far as I'm concerned, if I haven't given it away or traded it in then it's open game for a little more attention. Good times! :)

He doesn't play games then? that's usually unheard of. Heh, just kidding :). But glad to hear that I am not the only one! :P Sometimes it can make you go a bit insane! :P the same thing happened the other week with my DVDs actually. I was sat there all like "hmm, shall I re-watch King Kong?" I was only like that because it is 3 hours long. There my Xbox 360 was, sitting happily, and I take King Kong out of the box after half an hour and the disc tray is open, I am JUST about to place it in, then I freeze for a second, and then immediately put it back in the box and then like lightening I loaded Rock Band 3 up. Haha, crazy stuff :)

I get like that too sometimes :P some games are so great that i can't decide which one to go back to and give a shot on the hardest difficulty! I love games with great replay value such as those Rock Band and Guitar Hero games and also games that are more free roaming so you can go back to them and almost edit the story in a way that you want it to develop! :)

OK ... so were we separated at birth? ;) I think we have around 500 dvd (including blu rays) and I decided a couple weeks ago to organize them in genres so it would take less time for me to decide what to watch (gun fire, explosions WITH aliens ... awesome!). It's that pesky PS3 ... being able to watch any movie or play a game makes me think way to hard on how to spend my time. Decisions decisions!! :) As for my husband, he does play games but he wants to play coop games and only once in a while. Men! ;)

nah I do have that problem with alot of things like what to eat and so on. But I don't have much of a problem deciding what game to replay because I usually don't replay games...unless it's mass effect then I replay them ALOT. :)

I have my games already ordered by the order of which I will play them, I force myself to play them even if I don't enjoy them until I get the Platinum.

Yeah I do that too, especially now with nothing interesting to buy for another month or so. Right now I'm re-playing San Andreas for the umpteenth time. :P

I've got every game I've ever bought lined up on a wall behind my PC, it always gives me such a nostalgic feeling when I sit back and look through them. I just recently started playing Overlord and C&C 3 again. What I hate the most about replaying games though, is compatibility. A ton of the games I want to replay just doesn't work on Windows 7 and I usually end up spending hours on google finding some fix for it.

I do that often, been replaying Mass Effect 1 to get the final achivements as well as four characters -all female - levelled up to level 60 and to have them ready for re-trying Mass Effect 2. And hopefully not suffering from the brutal headaches from the tiny text like before.

Tiny text in a game with a lot of text, whoever had that idea should have their head examined.

Let's just say I've been buying older PC games dating as far back as early 2000 when I have newer games I need to finish. :P I just keep buying... it's like when my girlfriend shops for shoes. No one can stop me. :P I just purchased Homeworld 2 again. I have no clue where I put the original copy I bought. And I've been replaying X3: Terran Conflict after the announcement of X-Rebirth. And then before that, I bought Titan Quest, which I'm really enjoying. And then the other night, I bought Shift 2 Unleashed. Secretly, I've been playing Secret of Mana on the side again. lol. In actuality, I barely much time into these games though. I'd probably sit and play for an hour or two at the most, and then I'll run off and do something more important. haha :P

Normally, I'll play new games if I've got them, but then if there's one specific older game that I want to replay, I go play it. I don't look for an old game to replay, but rather act on impulse. Recently, I replayed Deus Ex and Overlord.

I am sort of experiencing this problem now :P I can't decide what to replay since I am not in the position to buy new games for a while.

[QUOTE="Mo-licious"][QUOTE="Ashley_wwe"][QUOTE="Mo-licious"] Ooh, yes. I only have a very few amount of PC games, but sometimes I wish there would be some sort of super-computer/console thing where we are able to play EVERYTHING on that one console :P. That would be amazing.
[QUOTE="Ashley_wwe"]but then I think of finally completing the entire Tomb Raider seriesBlack_Knight_00
Don't do that. Save yourself

I have played every TR game since they came out a LOT, but only actually completed 1, 2, Legend, Anniversary and Underworld (not including the DLC packs... yet), so it's okay, I know I enjoy them :P. I actually have TR's 1 to 5 for both PC and PS1! :P

Glad to hear yet somebody else has the same problem. Heh :D

I'm somewhat like this. But I think I tend to do it because I like my older games so much that I'm sort of stuck in the generation and not trying the new stuff that I have even though I've been enjoying it.

Why are you on this site then?! Just kidding :P as far as that goes, you could have no video games at all and be a member of this site. On the subject, yes, I'm ALWAYS like that. I'm trying to think "What am I going to play today?" when I'm on my own time. I just can't figure it out, then I wind up watching TV if I still can't. Sometimes I DO find something to play, it varies.

Takes me about... five minutes. I decide on a console, look at the rack, and decide.

What about siting there thinking so hard that eventually you play nothing? *raises hand*
