Title: How many of your games have you actually played? Post by: Arrrhalomynn on July 29, 2005, 05:07:24 PM 'Do you play all these games?' is an often heard phrase for us collectors (at least for me). So I decided to find out how many of my games I have actually played.
So games you've only tried to see if they work, or to see what they are like don't count. On the other hand, it's not like you have to have finished the game. Personally, I consider the games 'played', when I have played them long enough to justify a purchase even if it weren't for the collection. Of course this depends on the game. Of course this depends on the game. Some games can be played though in an hour, while others have barely started after a 5 hour gaming session. In other words, it's no rocket science ;). According to Cart Commander I have 539 unique games. I have played 106 games. Which means I've actually played 19.6% of the games in my collection. Not a bad score, I like to think :). If anybody cares what games I've actually played, I made a list while counting: 106 Wonderswan Color: Mr. Driller XBOX: Second Sight Sega GT 2002 Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic The Elder SCrolls 3 Morrowind The Simpsons Hit & Run Gameboy Color: Heroes of Might and Magic PC: Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate Tales of the Swoard Coast Baldur's Gate 2 Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal Call of Duty Civilization 3 Heroes of Might and Magic 4 Icewind Dale Icewind Dale 2 Icewind Dale Heart of Winter Planescape Torment Railroad Tycoon 3 Shogo Mobile Armor Division The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind The Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind Tribunal Sega 32X: Virtua Racing Deluxe Virtua Fighter Sega Dreamcast: 18 Wheeler Bust-A-Move 4 Chu Chu Rocket Coaster Works Crazy Taxi Crazy Taxi 2 Dayona USA 2001 Dead or Alive 2 Headhunter Mr. Driller Record of Lodoss War Rez Sega GT Shenmue Shenmue 2 Soul Calibur Space Channel 5 The Typing of the Dead Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 Tony Hawk's Skateboarding Virtua Tennis Sega Master System: Aladdin Bubble Bobble Castle of Illusion Enduro Racer Land of Illusion Line of Fire Moonwalker My Hero Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic the Hedgehog Chaos Sega Megadrive: Mickey Mania World of Illusion Sega Mega Tech: Columns Sonic the Hedgehog Sega Saturn: Bust-A-Move 3 Die Hard Arcade Manx TT Superbike Panzer Dragoon Saga Sega Rally Championship Sega Touring Car Championship Sonic Jam The House of the Dead Tomb Raider Virtua Fighter 2 Neo Geo Pocket Color: Sonic Pocket Adventure Playstation 2: Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Crazy Taxi Gran Turismo 3 Grand Theft Auto 3 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Silent Hill 2 Splinter Cell Pandora tomorrow Virtua Fighter 4 Playstation: Colin McRae Rally 2.0 Driver Final Fantasy 7 Final Fantasy 8 Final Fantasy 9 Metal Gear Solid Need for Speed 3 Need for Speed Porsche Challenge Need for Speed Road Challenge Syphon Filter Tekken 2 Tekken 3 Tenchu 2 Toca 2 touringcars Tomb Raider Tomb Raider 2 Tomb Raider 3 Tomb Raider Chronicals Tomb Raider the last revelation V-Rally Vagrant Story Vib Ribbon Vigilante 8 Gamecube: Super Monkey Ball Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: CatchFiveBats on July 29, 2005, 05:16:54 PM Oh, god...this will take a while...give me an hour or two to figure it out.

I don't think I would get anywhere near the almost 20% arrr got.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Arrrhalomynn on July 29, 2005, 06:09:16 PM Hey Izret, what percentage is that? This topic is about the games played/owned games ratio.

This topic is about the games played/owned games ratio. Still adding games so i haven't been able to get a tally :P I just added a shit load more. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: CatchFiveBats on July 29, 2005, 06:27:27 PM I printed out my entire list of games and marked the ones that I felt I played enough to be considered "played", and I came up with 108 out of 266. That's about 41%, although I'm sure some of those games just stand out in my memory better than others, so 41% is more than likely a little high.

I have played almost all of my games. Mind you, i believe those are only games i currently have in my collection.(At most i don't own 5 of those games anymore or never did) I could add ALOT of games played to that list besides those. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: nupoile on July 29, 2005, 07:34:06 PM I only have about 100 console games and I would guess I've played about 80-85 of them. It's not that I don't intend to play them all, It's just that I get stuck on certain games for soooo long and just don't have the time for the rest. And there are some good games I have and just haven't played yet because of newer games. For example; Knights of the Old Republic for the Xbox is somehow more appealing then Crystalis for the NES. I really do want to play Crystalis though and keep wishing I had the time.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on July 30, 2005, 07:15:19 AM I've played all of my games. Except Warrior Kings cause its buggy and wont run.
Course I've only got like seventy of em. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: thx1138 on July 30, 2005, 07:33:06 AM About 10%.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Vladimir on July 30, 2005, 03:35:55 PM I can honestly say that I have played every last game that I own, with the acception of Chrono Cross. I don't have near as any games as you guys though, I'm more into playing them rather than collecting.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: atari_wizard on July 30, 2005, 05:07:17 PM i've played maybe 25% of them, not counting variations. i try to play a few new games whenever possible. i've played all 30+ of my game cube games though. lol
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: den68 on July 31, 2005, 03:22:29 PM ugh. nowhere near 20%, especially since Arrr has taken games tested out of the equation.
I've got about 3300 games logged here and I've yet to add my PS2, Gamecube and Xbox games. that would add another 400 titles to the count. I've REALLY played about 400 of them. what's that? like 10%? sad. I should stop hunting and play what I already have. I have at least popped in and tried about 90% of what I have. though that would only amount to only 10 minutes to a half hour per game. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: thx1138 on July 31, 2005, 03:44:44 PM hunting is as much fun as playing
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: TraderJake on July 31, 2005, 05:55:17 PM Since I don't collect, I've played 100% of all games I own. But, if I was to add in the family collection, it would probably be closer to 75%, since I have a rather large family with quite a few games.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Lord Nepenthean on July 31, 2005, 07:40:50 PM Umm, I'm not even going to attempt to get a percentage. Before I started collecting, I could easily say I had really played 100% of my games, and probably a good 75% of them to completion. Now, though? Pffff. I don't have close to the largest collection here, but I can safely say I have played maybe 10% of my games, probably less.
Have I played many many many more games than that that I do not own or don't own anymore? Hell yes. I have played hundreds of games for a good amount of time each, but many of them are not in my collection (my literal collection, not my online collection, which is not even close to being up-to-date). Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Tynstar on July 31, 2005, 08:54:35 PM I would say I have played about 10% of my games. I have tested more then that but not played.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Sauza12 on August 01, 2005, 06:40:08 AM I've probably played about half of my collection. I still do have a large number of PS2 and Genesis games that I haven't played.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: den68 on August 01, 2005, 06:55:15 AM Quote hunting is as much fun as playing and oh so addicting. I love the hunt. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Izret101 on August 01, 2005, 12:22:13 PM The number of games i have played to own is going to keep climbing.
I can't really buy much for awhile and i am almost never on Halo 2 anymore so i have been breaking the seal on PS2 games all of which have been good so far :) Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: danvx6 on August 08, 2005, 08:13:38 PM I've played ALL of my games, and played most of them for more than a few minutes. Of course, I only buy games that I know I'll play.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Izret101 on September 20, 2005, 03:17:25 PM Just thought i would brong this back to the front ;)
I updated my stuff. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: wrldstrman on September 20, 2005, 08:58:23 PM probally less then 10 percent I have a few that I really enjoy playing and it seems they always find there way into my hands

I really do want to play Crystalis though and keep wishing I had the time. Crystalis! Wow, does that bring back memories! I LOVED that game. It was one of my personal favorite NES titles. You'll really enjoy that one when you get around to it. Phantasy Star 3 on the Genesis was another excellent RPG from back in the day. From what I remember, it was one of the first RPGs that had something like 4 different endings depending on certain decisions you made earlier in the game. I think at the 1/3rd point, you had to choose one of 2 quests and at the 2/3 point, you had to decide who to marry, which opened up one of 2 different adventure paths. I second that finding the time to really get into playing the games is a real challenge. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Sauza12 on September 22, 2005, 07:29:04 AM Quote I second that finding the time to really get into playing the games is a real challenge. No kidding. I've only had a chance to play one game in the past two weeks and that was Halo at Den's. Every other night is dedicated to work and housework. Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: den68 on September 22, 2005, 08:06:10 AM I played Halo2 for about 15 minutes this morning.
being at work all freakin' day does interfere with a lot of game playing time doesn't it? Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Tynstar on September 22, 2005, 08:27:45 AM Quote I played Halo2 for about 15 minutes this morning. being at work all freakin' day does interfere with a lot of game playing time doesn't it?

To be totally honest though i would rather have stayed at the 75% mark and just kept playing new games as i was getting them rather than getting nearly no games and playing them and others.

Somehow I had missed looking at this thread for awhile, who knew someone was going to referance something I said? :) Now I'm stuck on Fable, before that Freelancer. I still want to play Crystalis but when will the time come? I guess I could deligate some of my video game playing to the wife, that would free up some time right? Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Zimbacca on October 12, 2005, 08:45:32 PM I've played all the games I own, and allot of games I don't own.
Title: Re: How many of your games have you actually playe Post by: Speedy_NES on October 12, 2005, 11:52:35 PM According to your description of playing, I've probably only 'played' about half of the games in my NES collection. Come to think of it, probably even less than that....I never kept count, though, so I could be way off ;)
