This. I can see myself playing a racing game and some action game at the same time but never two story heavy games.

I try to avoid it since focusing on one helps me beat games faster.

Just last night I beat Sleeping Dogs. The only exceptions are fighting games (though I play some more than others).

Yeah same here. Drives me nuts when there's a bunch of games I want coming out at once.


1st world problems for sure haha

I try to make sure I have at least one handheld and one console game playing.

Right now I'm playing Paper Mario (N64) and The World Ends With You (DS)

I used to play CoD4 and H3 multiplayer at the same time a couple summers ago. Wasn't too hard.

I wish I could only play two games at a time.

I'm smack dab in the middle of like 6 different games right now. Oh, and Dark Souls comes out in 2 days, so that will be 7.

Almost never working through 2 story games at the same time. MP all the time and usually slowly working my way through a story game while playing these. Like this week I've played CS:GO, CS 1.6, SSF4:AE, and New Vegas.

When I'm playing a new game, I usually just play that until I'm finished. If I'm replaying a game, I can have up to like 6-7 on the go at once. I've been switching though FF V, VI, VII, VIII and IX recently. Finished IX and about 10 hours into FF V ATM. But I could swap at any time. Plus I'm playing though Spryo 1, 2 and 3 on the PSX and SMB 3 and SMW. Is that too much?

Two? I'm all over the place! I'm in between playing around 4 games right now with stories. The trick is to play them in "episodes". Like watching a TV show.

Right now I'm playing Dark Souls and New Super Mario Bros 2. The latter is a pretty nice palette cleanser when the former gets a bit too intense.
This. Can't handle two single player story lines at one time.

I'm near the end of xenoblade, but I don't have the time or will to go through the last round of quests just yet. I started playing final fantasy vi months ago and haven't come back to it yet - when I finally do I'm worried I won't remember what was going on. I just got nsmb2 on sunday and started that, and I have the hd remake of shadow of the colossus sitting there waiting for me (but I haven't started that one at least).

I really need more time to get through them all.

I will usually juggle an rpg with some sort of shooter. Some nights I'm in the mood for something faster paced.

I usually play one console/PC game and one handheld. Can't really play any more of that, I like to stay focused on my games

I used to be able to, but modern day games now have so many mechanics that if I try, it would absolutely fuck my mind over

I end up forgetting control schemes, moves, story context, overall game progression...

Did I mention controls? Lol. So many games play so damn differently nowadays

The worst part is not playing a game for a while and loading up a save thats in the middle of the game and not knowing what the fuck you're doing anymore lol.

One in one hand, one in the other!


Lately I'm always playing a bit of The Binding of Isaac here and there and some WoW. Right now I am also replaying Bastion for some missing achievements, and replaying Paper Mario (N64) to prep for Sticker Star. So yes, I play a few games at the same time.

Normally I do. I usually play 2-3 games at a time simple because it helps prevent each game from getting stale. Right now it's:

- The Last Story
- No More Heroes 2
- Darksiders (the first one)

Playing the new Wii hotness and finishing a game I bought 2 years ago but never touched. And I recently picked up Darksiders so I wanna play through that then move onto the second.
