Support NeoGAF

[samoilaaa]

My number is around 6-7 especially if they are long , like 25h+

if we are talking 8 hour games i finish around 10+

 

[Cert.in.Death]

40-50

I attempt to do 4 platinums a month, but the length of the games I play is usually 20 hours or less. I seldom play anything over 40 hours nowadays.

 

[TheDraconian]

I don't play games.
I argue about them on NeoGAF

 

[Majormaxxx]

More than 15 but among these are also short ones like cod or retro games

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

10.

so i can make a top 10 list

 

[Sidney Prescott]

It really depends on my mood that year although I'd say between 10-15 is the sweet spot. I sometimes pick longer/meatier games, otherwise I could easily crack more than that.

 

[Nankatsu]

Nowadays 5-10 I would say.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Used to be 5+. Now it's somewhere around 0-1. I turned 36 this week and gaming is losing its flair.

 

[German Hops]

1-5.

I have a nasty habit of picking up new games before I have finished the ones I started with.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

I don’t think I’ve finished a single game this year.

 

[samoilaaa]

Used to be 5+. Now it's somewhere around 0-1. I turned 36 this week and gaming is losing its flair.

i understand the feeling , im 33 and its hard after 20+ years of gaming to find a game that has everything i need , luckily baldur's gate 3 has almost everything

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

30 to 50 games

 

[Bartski]

Around 30

 

[Dr_Ifto]

I try to do 50ish games a year. One a week

 

[Tams]

0. I get bored of pretty much all of them before their end.

 

[GermanZepp]

1 or 2 AAA and 3 or 4 indies

 

[Mr Hyde]

As of this writing, I've completed 21 games, which is 6 more than previous years. I'm shocked I've finished so many games already, I usually land around 15-20 per year.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

3/4

Games are sp content heavy these days that it takes me months or in the case of Elden Ring up to half a year to beat.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Nobody finishes games these days.
Who has the time?

You buy shit loads over the course of the year, usually in sales, unable to resist the Sirens call, and leave them languishing in shrink wrap on a shelf or buried in your digital library.
Your backlog swells into an insurmountable challenge, and the dizzying array of titles leaves you befuddled as to what to play next as you scan the overwhelming selection of uncompleted shame.
You lament about this on Gaf.
You foolishly try to play several games at once, naively thinking if they're all different genres you can manage to juggle them. Inevitably some games you're playing fall by the wayside, you return to them a week later without the foggiest idea what you're doing, and reluctantly concede it best to start from the beginning again...
And lo the cycle begins anew.
At least in my experience anyway

 

[Hendrick's]

Who are you monsters completing 15+ games? I complete 1-4 in a year, but play a lot more. I don't finish games if I get bored, which more often happens.

 

[Vox Machina]

Finishing games? What's that?

I kid, obviously, but yeah, finishing games is hard when there are so many coming out that I want to play. This year I've finished CoD: MW2 and Diablo IV and will probably finish BG3 and Starfield.

 

[Robb]

I don’t know, feels like it varies a lot from year to year. If there are a lot of smaller titles/indie games I’m interested in that will greatly increase the amount.

 

[ReBurn]

Probably 5% of the games I start. 5 or less probably.

I feel seen

 

[R6Rider]

Generally around 10 or so.

 

[Beer Baelly]

40-50

I attempt to do 4 platinums a month, but the length of the games I play is usually 20 hours or less. I seldom play anything over 40 hours nowadays.

 

[balls of snow]

I keep track using an app since 2020. 12-15 a year. After or before a big rpg/ long ass game, I knock out a few indies to #pumpthenumbers.

 

[Fbh]

Mostly in the 5-10.

Really depend on the year though. Years with a lot of RPG's like this one are going to be on the lower end because a 50+ hours game will usually take me 2-3 months to beat.
But there's years where I play more shorter games and indie where it can go above 10.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

5-10
life gets in the way.

basically always play a game to the end though.

 

[DaGwaphics]

5-10 was the best option for me, maybe +or- one or two.

On a typical game I'll generally spend a few weeks on it, maybe longer if it is a long game. I mostly stick to shorter game sessions. The more AA or indie games are in the mix the more the total would go up as those tend to be a little shorter.

 

[LostDonkey]

1-5.

I have a nasty habit of picking up new games before I have finished the ones I started with.

 

[Sojiro]

Voted 15+. I also play a good number of older games across various consoles that don't have hyper inflated game hours to them, which helps bump that up. Even still, it's probably close to 15 with new games.

 

[Jacob0101]

It depends. Last year I finished 38 games. This year, I have already finished:

Hi-Fi Rush
Dead Space Remake
Hogwarts Legacy
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Remnant II (my GOTY so far)
FF16
DI2
Marvel's Midnight Suns
Ghostwire: Tokyo
Planet of Lania
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Nioh 2
Midnight Fight Express
Lost Judgment

Currently playing Diablo 4 and Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew on PS5.

​

 

[poodaddy]

I wish I could say more, but maybe like 3 or 4. There are literally thousands that I intend to get to, but I've made peace with the fact that I won't have time before I die to play even a tenth of them.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Past few years it's been about 12-15 per year.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Around 15 - 20. Wish it would be more though.

This year so far I've finished:

1. Mortal Shell
2. The Surge 2
3. Hogwarts Legacy
4. Outer Wilds (have yet to play the DLC)
5. Ghostwire: Tokyo
6. Forspoken
7. Horizon Forbidden West DLC
8. AI Somnium Files
9. Dead Cells (just the base game)
10. Zelda TotK
11. Diablo 4
12. Remnant 2

I'm also half-way or close to finishing: A Plague Tale Requiem, Persona 5 Royal, Rain Code, Deliver Us The Moon, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot and Dead Island 2.

 

[swaffles23]

I'm at 12 finished so far this year. It's usually less but I've been playing a lot more since I bought a steam deck

 

[Emedan]

I'm a boomer now, maybe 1?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

3

 

[Thief1987]

~10 usually

 

[FrozenFlame]

Around 20 to 25, but they're mostly short indie games that take 4 ~12 hours to finish.

 

[Lokaum D+]

1-5

this year i finished

RE8
MARIO ODYSSEY
FF16

cant really remember any other one

 

[tylrdiablos]

I've been keeping a .txt file since 2013 that tracks games I've finished and books I've read. (Weird? Yes. Useful? Also, yes.)

This year:
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch)
Diablo IV (Campaign - PC)
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PC)
Severed Steel (PC)

Not sure what to play next... torn between Armored Core 6 & Starfield. Might finish off Death Stranding.

 

[Mahavastu]

i guess round about 5. I chose 5-10 for ego reasons

[Chuck Berry]

40-50

I attempt to do 4 platinums a month

 

[fart town usa]

10-15 but VR games are short and I replay lots of short games that I already know by heart.

 

[SHA]

I do like 40+ hrs games, but precisely, any number that doesn't make them look cheap, rushing through doesn't prove loyalty to this hobby, except more likely, a lack of taste and socially resilient.
