I wish I had time to play every day. Usually I try and allocate time for it in the weekly schedule if I can. When I was younger and had more free time I definitively did every day, but life comes at you fast and now I have to plan specifically for it.

@vagrantsnow: But that's where I feel a bit silly. Because I do really want to play them. I see something like System Shock 2 on sale on GOG, think to myself that that would be an amazing way to spend my weekend, but then when the weekend rolls around and I actually have the game on my hard drive I just can't get myself to play it. It sounds really weird even to me now when I put it into words hahah

@RSM-HQ: Yeah, I definitively feel like I am overthinking something pretty simple. I never realized it before but I guess I did approach it kind of as a chore, as if I needed to beat all the games I own or I'd feel bad for even having them. A big part of it might just be to let loose and ignore the "need" and focus on the "want".

@masterhand: My recommendations would be - in no particular order:

1. The Witcher series - 1 through 3 are amazing value for money and are often dirt cheap on the frequent GOG sales.

2. Rome: Total War - Old school PCMR game that got me into PC gaming a long time ago. Holds up surprisingly well to this day.

2.5. Rome 2: Total War - Newer take on the above listed game and is a more detailed, modern take on the classic game. Much more systems and a lot more pleasing to the eye. Great game, though has a lot of DLC.

3. Just Cause 2 - Because the gameplay loop is really satisfying. Explosions and gunfights are all really satisfying.

Not a top 3 or anything but the first games to come to mind.

@dartanyanblack: Haha, that's a pretty rough description. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say Devil May Cry 1 or 2?

Hi!

I have been out of the gaming world a while now, only peeking back in every now and then to replay Skyrim for the 43rd time before quitting 10 hours into a character, feeling apathetic and bored. Now, coming back with some fresh enthusiasm I was kind of paralyzed when I looked at my games library for the first time in a long while. See, while I haven't been playing a lot, I have been scouring GOG/Steam sales every now and then and added to my collection. Sounds like a great situation, right?

The only problem is that the games I saw on sale and thought: "Wow, that's a classic for only €4.99!" have now all amalgamated into a heaping pool of "Yeah I know this game is considered a classic but I don't feel like it". It's an odd feeling of procrastinating on the games I thought I would love to play.

So just wondering, have anyone else felt the feeling before and have you got any tips on where to start or what mentality I need to dive in with? (FYI, the library consists of 300+ games ranging from AAA to Indie, 90's to 2015-ish.)

:)

I'd make sure that the keyboard and mouse are connected to a USB 2.0 rather than a 3.0. Some older and a few newer motherboards tend to get cranky over USB 3.0 before Windows has loaded correctly.

Hope it works!
