How many games have you experienced?

[Agge]

E-peen contest or flamefest, I have no clue how bad this will end up. Poll soonish.

Oh and lets just say that you must have at least played a game for 2houers and watched somone else played it for a few houers OR played it for 5+ houres for it to count. (save portal etc ofcourse).

I'm trying to write down al the games I have played (nearly impossible) and well I started to wonder how bad it realy was.

Both PC and Console games count, including handheld. Oh and no game mods (unless they are accepted as a game themself like CS, DotA etc).

[Ankh]

A bare minimum of over 9000+.

[alfaroverall]

Jeez I have no idea...after so many rentals of PSX games I probably wouldn't even know where to start.

I'd say 100 is probably a fairly reasonable estimate when it all adds up, though.

I'll do a rough count later and then vote. I'm probably going to put 100 or less, though.

I'm gonna start listing for my benefit and will get back to it in a subsequent post:

I'll stop here for now; here's the point where it starts getting hard for me to think of more. That's probably around the number of GOOD games that I have played.

[Natdaprat]

After about 15 years of going through every console and the PC with hundreds of chipped games and bought ones... I can safely say at least 1000. I didn't play them all completely, or even like them all, though.

[Villa]

TOO many.

[Layedballer]

I'd say 300+ only because I played game since I was old enough to

[AngusFinch]

I own about 150 games over all systems and have rented/emulated about 100x more. Wait, why is there no option for over 300?

[Forgin]

I think roughly 150 I can remember(standing on my shelf atm), but I've only been an active gamer for 5-7 years or something.

[Agge]

TOO many.

Please don't kill me.

there is, I apearently still suck at spelling though. Honestly I didn't think that there would be many that had played that many.

[Lotharr]

Too many. I'm not sure of the amount. Picked that option, because the more games you play, the more critical you become regarding different games' quality.

[Adramlech]

Too many, Played games over 16 years now. Playing every day.

[Agge]

Too many. I'm not sure of the amount. Picked that option, because the more games you play, the more critical you become regarding different games' quality.

I hear ya.

[Vessol]

It's easily in the hundreds, no solid idea.

[AngusFinch]

Please don't kill me.

Well, a lot of us have been gaming all of our lives. I didn't entirely read the answers and assumed it said '300 or more' and that "Too Many" was kind of a joke option. How could you play too many video games?!

[Agge]

Start writing them down.

I guess it's a mather of view. I view the "too many" option as too many to possibly be able to count them frome there on.

[Vessol]

Start writing them down.

Sorry, I've got a life :X

[Agge]

Sorry, I've got a life :X

Thats an oxymoron.

[Lotharr]

Thats an oxymoron.

Are you sure you don't mean a paradox?

I guess it might be more fitting.

[alfaroverall]

A paradox has to make sense in the end. An oxymoron does not.

[DocGonzo]

let's see here...started with Pong....

[Vessol]

let's see here...started with Pong....

Didn't they invent chess when you were alive?

[saris]

Didn't they invent chess when you were alive?

lol

[Lotharr]

A paradox has to make sense in the end. An oxymoron does not.

To be honest, it could be just called irony in this case.

At least one fishing game on the PSX
At least one Bomberman game
Chocobo Racing
One of the Digimon World games
Devil Dice
Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy

New total: 118

So yeah, after reading through a list of 1200 PSX games and mentioning all that I recognized, this is probably about all the games I've played that didn't just suck so hard that I can't even remember playing it at all. So 150 or less is probably my best bet; if I broke 150, it's probably not by much.

[Agge]

For the record, I guess I pretty much started on NES myself, but I played some commande keen befor that at a friends house on his fathers personal computer machine.

As for a total...

Well, only counting games I can acctualy remember anything frome once somone mention their name, I guess I land somewhere around 300 or less.

We'll see we'll see.

I plan on putting comments on the huge list once I'm done with it and maybe some kind of sign to show if they are worth digging up even to this day etc.

But if you are gonna count every single game I have ever played, I mean I was soo damn young back then... I instaled more then a couple of games using floppy discs, we had to be 2 people to be remotely be able to play unreal (on one pc). Well, then I'll just make a random estimate at 500 tops.

[tazco]

(nearly impossible)



I think that sums it up. I would have to start with C-64/atari and eveyother day there would be something new added. If I had to put a (guess) number I would go with 11k+. It might be alittle more accurate if it was just pc or console, but even then there is a shit ton of games on either one.

[Jinpachi]

Way too many, even though I tend to play a particular game for a very long time, and have spent long parts of my life barely playing anything. I think most people here who's over 20 years old must have played over 300 games over five hours each.

[Saturday Saint]

Maybe around 25-30? I'm not sure.

[Jinpachi]

A paradox has to make sense in the end. An oxymoron does not.

Dude, what he said does in no way imply that he doesn't know that... and it was indeed not an oxymoron.

[Kagetora8151]

I am pretty sure I am in the 100 or less category.

[Helgeran]

I have no fucking idea.

[DocGonzo]

Didn't they invent chess when you were alive?

well...i did think it was about video games....

but yeah...first me and John McCain invented checkers with some rocks...then we figured out chess later

but i digress...

[Lethn]

I physically own far less games than I have actually played because I will not pay more than £20 - £30 for a computer game, there are so many companies out there now that go out of their way to rip you off.

[Lioness]

Hmm... I'd say about 150 memorable ones. I'm trying to make a list and sadly like 9/10 of the list is SNES and N64... lol

[Jinpachi]

I challenge you to find a person on these forums who doesn't ...

[Devant]

Man, asking such stuff in a geek comunity is kinda lame... I have been playing games since I was 3, and now I am 22... Count a minimum of 3 hours a day gaming...

EDIT: For a vague estimate, between 2005 and 2006 I played 112 games... (I have all the saves of the games I played that period :D)

[Viluin]

I haven't got even the slightest clue. Seriously, if you are capable of giving even just an estimate of this number then you're not doing it right.

[Temet nosce]

Let me put it this way. Someone once asked me to list all the RPGs I'd played, I stopped around 220, and that was what I recalled without going and looking through my collection. I can say with certainty I own copies of over 500 games, and I may have played as many as twice that. Your poll does not go sufficiently high.

[DarkCrusader]

Way more then I can count or remember.:cool:

[Agge]

I was considering myself if NES games and older should count, but since some of them are as epic as super mario I couldn't remove them as an option. Still, I think it's a comodore (sp?) a friends father got and more then a few discs of what I would call mini games.

Soo it would seem.

Golden eye, perfect dark, secret of mana 2, a link to the past, supersmash bros etc etc. I don't see how this is a bad thing. Probebly the two consoles with the best games ever.

220 rpgs? Man those must have sucked moast of them, hell a standard RPG for me takes at the very least 40 houers of my time.

And yes, apearently it didn't wich pleases me, now I feel alot better about myself. I might make other version later on though with more option and possibly other restrictions.

[Humac]

Been gaming pretty much my whole life. 300 sounds much, but I would bet I have played more.

You should have limited to NES and later, that misses relatively few great games. Although it still includes a lot of crap like the 7up game and such. However, most of that trash occurred on the Atari.

Eh, a lot of them were just obscure or fan translated, but yeah some definitely sucked. On the other hand, a lot of obscure ones were also excellent games.

Like I said earlier, don't include Atari games and the like. I suppose you could also not include NES games, but there are a lot of classics on there. Whereas Atari only had a few like Pitfall. Still, limiting it to games made after 1990 or so would remove a lot of the trash like advertisement games.

[Staatsschutz]

i would say 150+

Next time I will and increase the amounts in the poll I guess. 220 role playing games realy sounds like much regardless, like at least 50% of the once I have played/bought I have liked alot wich ment that I probebly spent 100 houers pluss on each, I probebly wasted 300-400 houers on Oblivion+FFX.
