What I'm playing (forever)

I'm always torn between what game to play, I have a tendency to start multiple ones all at once, then completely forget what I was playing. Lately I've been doing that more than ever.

The list so far goes like;

Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag (PS4)
Resident Evil Code Veronica X (PS2)
Tomb Raider (PS3)
The Legend of Zelda; The Minish Cap (GBA)
Skyrim (PC)
DC Universe Online (PS4)

I'm playing a few others like FIFA 14, Battlefield 4..but these are more 'pick up and play' titles, so not much in depth concentration is needed to play them.

I'm a collector as well, which doesn't help, since I see a game cheap or one I don't own and I buy it. Then the list of games that haven't entered a console yet grows (like Brink & Devil May Cry HD).

Steam is probably the worst for this, I'll buy anything that's cheap or nostalgic on there, I was dedicating a lot of time to Final Fantasy 8 not long ago, but my interest soon disappeared. The same goes for Day Z standalone, and the insanely addictive (but infinitely frustrating) Spelunky. Games are what give me the most satisfaction in terms of 'owning' something, yes I have many interests, but gaming is probably the one thing I dedicate the majority of my time to.

Since I'm not currently in full time employment, I have actually gotten a bit bored of games, since it's all I seem to be doing. I miss having to make time for games, that special hour late at night when you can squeeze a bit of gaming time in. Don't get me wrong, I love a mammoth gaming session, but they just aren't as enjoyable when you have so much free time. Knowing me though, I'll moan when I don't have enough time to game!

Skyrim is the one taking up most of my time at the moment, I did put in over 150 hours into it on its first release, on the Xbox 360, but the PC version adds more to the game. The modding community has made the game so much more than it was on console, so I'm experiencing it from a new perspective. Plus having the ability to use console commands isn't a bad thing...

I think I've played maybe an hour of Assassins Creed 4, for a game which cost me £49 that is not enough game time. I guess I bought it more out of wanting to own more PS4 titles. I think I've spent more on getting a PS4 and games in the last month than I have on my PS3 & 360 collection in the last year!

Next gen gaming is going to hurt my bank balance further as well, with Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes, Watchdogs & inFamous Second Son on the way. MGS is the one I'm looking forward to most, well Phantom Pain anyway. I grew up with MGS games, I still absolutely adore them.

I forgot I'm re-playing Snake Eater again, told you I lose track.
