Do I have too many games?

I've been buying a lot of games on steam lately and I'm wondering if I have too much compared to you guys. I enjoy most of them but some I never have time for. Should I be concerned about my video game buying habit? Especially since steam sales are next week.

Here's all my games:

huh, no. You still have a ways to go. keep on collecting

That's nothing, I've seen people who have 50-100 games in their Steam library. Currently I have 41 games in my Steam library while have a couple more that I bought not from Steam like Starcraft 2, Crysis, World in Conflict, etc.

And don't get me started on my 360, PS3, and Wii library.:P

No worries.

I'm reaching the point where I'm becoming concerned about my Steam purchasing, but I know there are people here with more games than me on there.

I have more than that and I only got my PC in February... Haha

Lol, you barely toucehd the tip of the iceberg. 81 games on Steam, 20+ on Gamersgate and 1 on D2D. 102 and counting :P

If you count my commodore games and my vic 20..Ive got over 600 in my collection..Than again ive been playing games since i was 9 im 42 now..Other day i came across my icewind dale manual rofl..Ah the good old days..Thats including my old systems like ninendo an xbox. sega cd, so forth...Never sell my games..A matter of fact i still play my old intellivision from time to time..Dungeon and dragons what a classic game )..

you have no games in my opinion, a game is a game if i can hold it in my hand.

klusps

ive got like 130 games on my steam profile. plus probably another 25+ outside of steam\

How do you guys find the time to play all your games?

I can barely keep up with mine.

I have 60 games on my PC alone. Thats nothing.

You can never have too many games. Love your desktop by the way.

Nope, I have 86 games on Steam.(I love steam, most of my 86 games were gotta during sales for under 10 dollars. Last year I bought ALL Gta games(1,2,3,VC,SA,4,EFLC) for 9.99 total). I have around ten hard copies of PC games.. That's not counting my hundrends of console games.

OP: I literally have hundreds of games and most of them are pristine boxed versions, dating back to the early 90s. You're far from being as big of a dork (collector) as me.

One of my prized games that are still in the wrapper.. Earthbound for SNES. Which is worth around 400 dollars. :)

Well hello there! :) Nice.

Your computer to play the game and special? With so many games can also normal operation? You should find a hard disk put them all collected

My game desktop icons have now covered half of my wallpaper screen. I don't know whether to be proud of it or not. Major backlog-itis.

Dude people got over 300 games... my advice... stick to quality rather than quantity and your problem solved.

Its not that hard to play lot of games if this is pretty much your main hobby (like for me, huh..... ).

That's what a game is. The disc isn't the game, the data on the disc is the game. The disc is just a disc.

I have over 1200 PC games, still in their (mostly) big boxes, with decent 80+ page manuals, maps, etc! I also have another 400 Commodore 64 games and around 40 PS1 RPG's (played on PC under emulation). My first game was brought in 1983 and I haven't sold any! It's called a collection. Some collection stamps, other have a library room wotj books, I have a computer room with a games collection!

Without me noticing it has already become an investment, as I have been offered £12,000 by a rich frind who wanted to have a colection without the hassle of buying them individually!

Like a good record collection,it's nice if I feel like playing the roginal Half Life (1997) or X-Com (1994) again, I can just get the box off the shelf, install it (in less than 5 minutes as old games are so small in size!) and be play it for a couple off weeks with no problem!

Currently, for example,,I am playing The Witcher 2 and the original Fallout! :)

Not even close

Hell, no, buddy. Your library is very small. I've seen people with three, four, even five times the number of my games, and I think I have quite a bit

lol... if you think you have too many games, then I must have a serious problem; I have about 50 different games and 2 or 3 demos loaded right now. There are over 300 games on my Steam list; and just off the top of my head, about 200+ boxed copies( guess I'll have to count them one day too lol).

... you have a long ways to go before you need to start worrying about anything :)

I've played every "known" game from 2000 to now, loads of unknown indies, hundreds of games from 1990-2000, hundreds from 1980-1990. Haven't finished all the games of course, but most of them. And playing world of warcraft for 3 years took probably a close amount of time or even more I took to play all of those games. How do I find time? Few hours per day is pretty much enough for all of that, unless you're 15 or just discovered computers. All games are short, only games what take time are sandbox games, otherwise almost every game is 2-10 hours depending if you're a slowpoke/bad player or not.

115 games on Steam, with about 20-25 more on hard copy and 5 more on GoG. So I have about 140 games on PC. I do all my gaming on PC.

I am quite embarrassed about the sheer amount of games I have, actually. Still, I make sure a maximum amount of only 10 games are installed at a time.

Nope i have around 100

Add some games to your collection and go pick up Left for dead 2 and the F.E.A.R collection. They're both on sale on steam right now. gmaster456

F.E.A.R. is a definite must IMO. Great FPS with an excellent atmosphere. The fluid mechanics and the AI also make the gameplay very challenging and fun. The story may be a little hard to follow, but that's really good too.

That is impressive. I cant imagine how much space that must take up though. I have been gaming since the mid 80s on all text MS-DOS games, but the size of the boxes have caused my to throw away 99% of the boxes and manuals over the years.
