I have the bad habit of starting too many games at a time and I think it hurts the depth of some games for me. I almost picked up DMC yesterday and decided to just stick with Majora's Mask and Dragon Age.

I have this same habit.

I want to go back and play so many games, but I just know I never will.

For the ones I do back to, it does hurt the immersion.

When I have time, I play Skyrim on PC. Lately I've been playing Tomb Raider on the PS4 before the wife decides she wants to game, and then we play Rayman Legends. I need some more platform games. That's all the balancing I have.

I like to play one story driven game at a time but I always sprinkle in some MP games as well.

I always start to many games but I'm good about going back and finishing. Vita is the main problem i have because all the games I like on vita are really long. But I still plan on finishing all of them.

I only play one game at a time but I play the hell out of it. I think I played Borderlands 2 for about four months, maybe 10-15 hours a week. I just went through South Park three times in a row but that's a short game.

I can balance a maximum of 2 games, and it's not really a balance since I'll still end up playing one more than the other. Usually I'll have some ongoing time-killer multiplayer shooter, and I'll take a break from it to blow through a single-player campaign like far cry, watch dogs, shadow of mordor, Batman, etc.

Speaking of which, I just pirated AC Rogue. Is it boring as shite or worth a playthrough?

I don't balance many very well. I try to leave only 2-3 ongoing games for each platform. Doesn't always work out that way.

I get craving to play certain types of games which can lead to a growing backlog and starting too many at the same time. I really need to try and finish something before Type 0 comes in next week.

Like to be fully invested in one game at a time. Easier to keep up with and be into the story that way.

My habit is purchasing maybe one or two games per year actually. I usually find an upcoming game (first person shooters is where I remain), and play it until the next best thing that I want comes out.

Also, I generally stick to multiplayer with close friends. So I don't broaden my "game balance" all that much.
