[MENTION=79096]Jonno394[/MENTION] Sorry for asking this here. Do you really buy games with this much frequency? And do you really buy these much games? Either you end up playing 5 mins and never touch it again, or your job is to play them.
I'm genuinely curious, because I never play more than two, three games at a time, and even like this I don't have time to play all of those regularly. For example, I've been playing NFS MW lately, so I played PES yesterday for the first time since March. How do you cope with that?
And now that I'm asking... do you play PES?

[MENTION=215711]rebelinho[/MENTION] I've bought 6 games in the last 6 weeks. Yes to some that may seem a lot but atm collecting Vita games is my current thing so I find it hard not to buy when I see a good offer.
I bought my Vita in the middle of January and since then I've bought:
5 Digital titles - played 4, completed 3
13 Physical titles - played 6, completed 2, currently playing 1, the other 3 I got about 50% through before deciding to move on.
I don't play my PS4 that much but I've bought 3 PS4 titles this year- completed 1, sold 1, played one for about 7 hours and is currently on hold.
I tend to play games 1 at a time and try to get about an hour of gaming each evening if I can.
Going forward, there's not much I want to buy atm, and I want to clear my backlog so don't expect any more posts off me for a while!

You make it sound like a long time, but it's only been a week. :laugh:

I'm well aware of that
although with PES (gaming in general, but PES being my main lover...) I try to do the same as Jonno and play at least one game per day. If I could do that perhaps I could study daily as well (I can't study unless I have the pressure or need to do so). But if I can't even do something I love on a daily basis, I guess the study thing won't be done in the near future...Anyway... regarding Jonno's answer. Once you complete a game, what you do with it? Sell it? Or if you liked it (for sure you did, otherwise you wouldn't have finished it) store it for a future re-playing of the said game? I'm asking because I might be some lunatic in this matter. I always play games from a rigid selection, over and over again. Mafia 2, Far Cry 1 and 3, NFS U2, MW and Shift, Driver SF, and PES. I've lost count to the times I've completed Mafia 2. My interest in varied game genres isn't the widest for sure, but I dont have the desire to try new games.
Put it this way: I can only love a few, and even fewer at the same time, but passionately. Do you love yours in the same way?

I'll normally only keep a game if I think (or know) there will be single player DLC coming out for it.
When I get a new game, I usually take my time to complete it the first time. When I'm done with it, I might play it through again on a higher difficulty, or to get collectibles if I intend to get the platinum trophy. If it's a huge open world game (eg Skyrim/GTA), I wouldn't normally play through the story again. Once I'm done with a game, I'll trade it in.

Nine times out of ten they get sold on ebay or traded in once I complete them or have had enough of them. However, I'm trying to build a physical Vita collection that I will keep so I have no intention of selling on my Vita games any time soon, even when I've completed them.
Unlike you I tend not to replay games once I've finished them, hence why I'm ok with selling them on.
