How Many Games Do You Play Near Simultaneously?

Post » Mon Jun 01, 2015 3:11 pm

Some people may play one game exclusively.

Some people may play one game almost exclusively with maybe a more simple game here or there for a break.

Other may play lots of games near simultaneously.

What are you?

(Let's see how many smile when they notice my terminology :smile: )

I voted Psuedo Mono, though I don't quite match OP's definition for it. I do tend to concentrate on one 'major' title at a time, and devote the vast bulk of my play-time to it. I might or might not play any of several 'simple' games simultaneously. I do, however, rotate between the few major titles residing on my hard drive (or rather SSD), those at the moment being modded Oblivion, Daggerfall and Minecraft. What I do is play one of those three almost exclusively for some time, then switch to one of the others and do the same. I most definitely am NOT a Poly-Gamist. Heck, since 2009 I've bought only these titles: PC GOTY Obiivion (2009), PC Minecraft (2012), PC Skyrim sans DLC (2012), Banished (soon after launch), Wizardry 6 & 7 at GoG (2014, not yet played), Elder Scrolls Anthology for its Morrowind and Skyrim DLC/expansions (2014, not yet installed). I might have forgotten something, but doubt it. Oh . . . seems to me I earned a free copy of Mount and Blade from GoG but have not yet bothered to DL it. A few other titles tempt me, such as Timber & Stone and Cities Skylines, but I do not at this time seriously consider acquiring them.

i chose other as it depends really


sometimes i put all my focus in a single game, some times in a few, or sometimes i just sit and look at my collection and say "what do i feel like playing atm.." in which cases i can play a large number of different games in a single week..



by the way the "Poly-Gamist" made me spit take when i read it, for obvious reasons..

I pretty much go deep into one game and then go to another, and after a couple of weeks come back to the original game.

I see what you did there.

Anyway, I'm playing 3 games near-simultaneously at the moment. If I don't feel like playing one, I'll pick one of the other two to play. :P

I am playing about 7 games or so at the moment and it will change depending on my mood.

From 2000 to about 2011 most of that time was played Diablo 2 mostly mods for that game. Before that time I was usually playing a lot of games at the same time. I usually have a short attention span for games at a time and cycle through games quickly.
