View Full Version : What occupies most of your time- collecting or playing?

I was just wondering, as recently I have been so preoccupied with finding and exploiting deals on games, as well as simply looking for some wanted titles, that I dont spend much time actually playing the games I buy. The last game I actually played and finished was Final Fantasy V, and that took me much longer than it should have. It seems that I focus too much on collecting, and I dont even really buy that much compared to some others.

Definetly playing. But then again, I'm not such a hardcore collector as you guys are. I usually buy what I think is good.

How About Reading?

I put Collecting but I really don't buy games that often. I do read about games probably more than I actually play them. I like reading about old games and failed systems that kind of stuff fancinates me. It's one of the reasons I like DP.

I normally only get into playing one game at time with maybe a season of Tecmo Super Bowl on the side.

Thats a good point actually. Reading about games does occupy a large portion of my time. But Im usually reading about stuff related to collecting in some way, so I grouped those together without even thinking about it.

I do alot of reading (up) too, i have to say my collecting has slowed down alot in the last 6 months, i do try to play as much as i can but it might only be 4 or 5 hours a week :(

Work and the everyday going's on in life.. take there toll on my games playing time!. :roll:

I try to play all that i collect but it becomes hard with a fulltime job and my growing collection. Though i do tend to collect and read up on games more then i play. Nothing beats crashing on my bed after a hard days work.

Collecting. I wish I had more time to play games.

Collecting. I'm always out thrifting and buying shit up. Lately though I've found it a bit of a drag and it's a miracle if I even get out to go to one store. So now it's been more of playing. But all in all, collecting.

I play a great deal and collect at the same time. I would say 50/50 here.
