After the steam summer sale I have the GTA franchise, FEAR franchise, Allen Wake, Skyrim, MW3, Dues Ex:HR and a bunch of other games to play. Then I have MK to play on my Vita and have to make time for LBP Vita to find time to play. I'm feeling guilty that I can't hit each system up fairly and I feel like I am neglecting my systems and it's a r8 bad feeling when I have so many games to play. Anyone else feel my pain? Being a multi-system owner is a tough gig. Sigh.

It's a problem for me. There are so many games I want to play, and I probably won't get to play a lot of them.

Wow. All this time we were here together in the same boat and I never noticed.

Wii - SMG, Super paper mario, SSBB, Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3 - need to finish them all.

PC - Arkham City, Bulletstorm, Red Faction, GTA4, Bioshock 2, f1 2011, Halo 2, Res Evil 5, X³ Reunion

eggs bocks three hundred and sixty - too many to list them all. Deus Ex, Vanquish, Binary Domain, MGS HD collection, Battlefield 3, Assassin's creed, Forza 3, way way too many to even scratch the surface.

I don't have a PS3 at the moment.

On the bright side, I can easily set myself a zero gaming budget until the launch of the Wii U.

I solved the problem by not buying a single damned game until the Wii U launches later this year.

I can't even count how many amazing looking games I've missed in the past decade. Franchises that are getting sequels that I know I won't have the time or money for... But that leads me to wait. I just got CoD 4 and MGS4 cheap. Why not wait for newer games and franchises to drop down in price and beat some old ones?

The problem I found trying to be a manticore is that there is not enough time in my life. Work, school, gf, dog, other hobbies. Hell no!! Thinking about getting most appealing system next gen and being happy. I've had every system this gen and it's just not worth all the games I have to pass up.

Sadly I have this problem too. Owning a DS, 3DS, Steam account, PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, and a Wii makes me have a tremendous backlog all the time.

Ha 20! Come back when you have 50+ console/handheld games to play and 50+ steam games. School sucks and I always will go out to a friends when the day is clear, so there's just not enough time for gaming especially on consoles. You can always play PC or 3DS late at night with headphones.

I have these systems and played over 100 games across them while managing my time by not playing them everyday either! I also get bored if I play games too much.

Know how you feel TC. With my ps3, 3DS, Wii and PC it is quite hard to find time for play all the games. It took me two months to finally finish Radiant Historia but Dota2, SC2 and GW2 are taking all my spare time.

I sometimes wish I had the mentality of being some idiotic fanboy who only plays PS3 or PC games... So many good games and I want to play them all. Makes gaming feel... busy at times.

Welcome to the world of a manticore, so much backlog it gets ridiculous.

Its great being a manticore, playing all the games that fanboys can't play. Must suck being a brand loyalist who like to suck company d***.

Funny, I have the exact opposite problem. There are so many games and different consoles, but I'm to poor to buy anything.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one afflicted with this problem. I feel for all of us. But I can't shed too many tears since I have so many games to play. Once Halo 4 comes is going to be a real balancing act between that, CS:GO and life.
