FrozenRaptorz Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I'm a big fan of trying everything once. A few work buddies and I like to trade gamez regularly just so I don't have to pay for a new game I may or may not like. But I'm also always cruising to see what achievements I can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR0UBLE Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I play games with multiplayer achievements first so I know that the game is still popular and people are still playing online it is so easier to get the achievements now then waiting later on when the game is old etc. and sometimes it's difficult trying to find people to get the achievements later on as the game gets less and less popular, So i pick mine in which it is new and has multiplayer.

Majica8 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Whatever I'm in the mood for. I won't play something if I don't want to play it simply for achievements or whatever. Will often find myself putting a game on only to get bored after 5-10 mins, putting something else on and repeating the cycle 3-4 times before I either settle on a game or give up and put a movie/some TV on. In terms of buying new games a similar thing applies. Whatever I'm in the mood for at the time or whatever I think looks good. Price also comes into it at the moment, I'd go for a semi-decent cheap game over a great looking full retail price game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadsea 1993 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) IT's always Dead Island. Im so close to 1000 i can reach for it pretty much. been playing nonstop for 4 months. But really need to start my Fallout:New Vegas playthroughs cause i know 1000 will be easy,as i almost platted it before my PS3 YLOD 3 years ago. But Cant stop playing Dead Island right now. As of now im going back to games that I am close to 1000 and trying to 1000 them.

Fire Hawk D Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Random for me. A couple methods I tend to use: - Pick a series and do it (like The Darkness) - Pick the oldest game by purchase date on my HDD (like Duke Nukem 3D) - Use the "What Should I Get/Play Next" thread on here - Suggestions by my boosting partners - Ease of achievements (to keep my achievement-a-day streak going while working on a grindy game) Obviously, sometimes I'll just play a game because I really want to. It always takes me such a long time to decide. So many choices...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBabyJeezus Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Depends on what sports season it is. If I got a baseball already then it will be played during baseball season. When I am sick of playing that game then I will invest in a RPG to past the time when am bored. Once the RPG gets done then I try to find a Sandbox type of game until next sports season starts.

cjdavies Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Often I will buy "older" games first if I can, my next lot to buy are Sleeping Dogs, Dishonoured, Spec Ops The Line - sure there are others can't think on top of my head. Also what has just come out which will be after - Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinate, Gears of War Judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylaan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) My current backlog is: MASS EFFECT 2 MASS EFFECT 3 BORDERLANDS DLC (nearly finished) FORZA 2 NFS: MOST WANTED SKYRIM FARCRY 2 STRANGLEHOLD SAINTS ROW 1 THE WALKING DEAD HYDROPHOBIA CALL OF JUAREZ LA NOIRE DLC SPLINTER: CELL CONVICTION I would like to finish these before I get the Nextbox around Christmas time, which should be achieveable, but I do play quite a bit of COD too. I try to finish the smaller games first and games that I've started but not finished, otherwise I get too stressed out/overwhelmed if I decided to play a bigger game like Skyrim first.

Iceskater101 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Honestly for me it's pretty random. I usually go for a game where I never got to complete the story (right now it's Skyrim, Mass Effect) and I play Gears of War 3 for the fun of it. Though I am backlogged because I want to play the L.A. Noire DLC and I want the Enslaved Odyssey DLC so I can finally 1G that game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy2k Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I usually have an idea of what games I want to get and will usually check the price to how many G's I can get ratio first and will buy it if I think I'll get my G's worth. If its a game I really want without a doubt, G's don't mean jack to me. I got under 500G on Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite, but completed and enjoyed the fuck out of them.

kutpurse Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I don't have a particular way but I won't play 2 games back to back that are similar. For example I wouldn't play 2 assassins creed games back to back. I finished ac: brotherhood and then went to rage. I went from rage to dead space. Now I'm on BioShock infinite. I like to wash my pallette of a particular type game with something completely different. After I finish infinite then I could do another creed game.

Deadsea 1993 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I put 6 games in the chamber. Spin it on the table. Put it up to my head. Pull. Ha ha This guy is great,I love his posts.

The Pandamic Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 A lot has to do with sequels for me. Playing games such as bioshock, assassins creed and kingdom hearts, there will be a huge chance I will purchase the sequel. Tough there are some disappointments, it's the first that usually gets me hooked. Also, trailers contribute to my decision as well. If a trailer looks promising, you can bet your ass its going to be preordered. Bioshock infinite and watch dogs are just a few examples. Preorder exclusives such as the goku outfit in naruto ultimate ninja storm 3, may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGoogles Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I usually play whatever game still has achievements left to unlock, but sometimes I get addicted to a game's multiplayer and stop achievement hunting for a while (Gears of War, Battlefield, Red Dead Redemption, etc).

xYuki Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hi everyone! I was wondering! How do you choose what games are you going to play! I mean, is there anything in particular? Like alphabetical order! Order of purchase, release date, or maybe you have your own little system... In my case is release date, working on games backwards, playing newer games first... What about you? The new games? Uhh.. If the game has a storyline that means sense to me and has good gameplay, then that's how I choose my games.

wesbranscum Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 i usually try to play one easy 1000g game and a different more entertaining game, a good balance of both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opiate42 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I made that mistake buying Dragon Age Origins and The Witcher 2, together. I played DAO so much that when I finally done it, I put in The Witcher 2, played about an hour or two then sold it, I was just to RPG'd out to play it. Ugh, been there, especially with DA:O! Always need to break up the soul-swallowing time consumption factor, I'll drop a shooter or two in between every huge RPG endeavour to keep sane. Luckily the 360 is awash in inexpensive and mindless shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorpion XBA Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 It all depends what mood I'm in. If I'm up for it, I'll play a Kinect game. Most of the time it's all up to whatever GameFly decides to send me. Their little "96% of games sent are in members' top 5" is a bunch of crap. Top 10 maybe.

Frost Vomit Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 its situational if i have a friends over well probably play some online multi player games and have mini tournaments or screw around in mine craft alone ill generally sit down and try to beat the campaign of older games ive not yet completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtowers Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Most of the time I have in mind a good game disk that I want to play. If I can't decide what to play I'll just kind of go through my list alphabetically and stop when I find one that I wouldn't mind playing. Lately, I've been stopping at C when I see Catan.
