man it sucks having 3 systems

[pukemon]

not enough time time to play all the games. well mainly 2 systems but shit. this game onslaught the last couple years is killing me. and the fact that this website is here makes it worse. you'd think getting hooked up on games because of this site would help the wallet. NOOOOO!! now i buy more friggin' games. damn you CAG!!

[guyver2077]

i have the damn same problem...owning all three systems plus work and a life leaves me with barely no time to play my games. i mostly avoid story games now unless its really cheap or a must own. and i have so many games i have not beaten or even gotten close to for that matter

[pukemon]

if it weren't for gran turismo, i could probably do away with the ps2. xbox is just here for halo and halo2 but i might get rid of it anyways. this damn gamecube though is kicking my ass. because of gran turismo 4 though, i still get ps2 games so i'm fucked. i wish i could afford gba games for my gbplayer but it'd be like adding another mouth to feed.

[snotnose_colossal]

my problem is that after i finish a game i dont stop playing it, like tony hawk, i play the shit out of all of them still, but i have games i havent even played yet

[rvdrock]

I agree with that...there are so many games I need to beat, but this site only makes me want to get more games!

[Medium_Pimpin]

I have 3 consoles and a mid-level gaming class pc. My wallet is always hurting, and i spend less and less time on the consoles.

Man it sucks having all of these BMW's in my garage, too many rooms in my mansion to count, and not enough banks in the world to keep my money in. Somebody please pity me.


Professor Frink: Mweaaaa, this sarcasm machine is off the charts!

I totally agree that it sucks not having enough time to play all of my games but it certainly does NOT suck to have so many of them.

[pukemon]

i don't think we're asking for pity. we want more time or more money.

[basketkase543]

i don't think we're asking for pity. we want more time or more money.

I totally agree. I was just commenting on the subject "man it sucks having three systems" because it doesn't suck. Its really fortunate to be able to have them. But man, i feel ya about no time to play any of them. This is why i haven't bought a game since March, i'm determined to beat at least one before i buy another.

[pukemon]

i'm seriously considering selling the rest of my psx and ps2 games except for a scant few. this gamecube onslaught is badass. and the good thing is there's alot more to come. and i'm not even talking about tales of symphonia, baten kaitos, or giftpia yet.

Well if it such a big problem, I would gladly take the xbox off your hands for free.

Hey, what are friends for? :wink:

[KingDox]

yeah I don't even have enough time to play all my xbox games. I would hate to think what would happen if I owned a PS2, & game cube. I think I'll pick up a cube while I'm waiting the price of the next gen systems to drop. And I'll have to play all the great ps2 games on a ps3/

[pukemon]

how about $120 shipped. includes halo and mechassault with 2 month xbox live? heh. was bought in january and hasn't received much play time since that month.

Do you have any info on Giftpia? Tales and Baten look awesome, but I hadn't heard of Giftpia until you mentioned it. I just did a quick search and not much came up, just really basic info. Have you heard much about it? Maybe a release date?

[pukemon]

all i know is nintendo is co-captain on this rpg. and the graphics are a cross between animal crossing/wind waker/disney animation.

[jimbodan]

Yeah I just saw a trailer for it, looks like it may be cool, I guess some of the Chrono Trigger team are working on it too? Hardly any info out there on it though, kinda weird, I'd think it would garner a little more of a buzz.

[pukemon]

it did have some buzz but it's died down for some reason. prolly because of tales. and the new zelda isn't helping either.

[jimbodan]

Yeah I guess so, was it even at this year's E3? Also I'm sure not having a release date probably doesn't help either.

[SneakyPenguin]

Same problem. I have all three, and a high level gaming pc. Combine that with school and no jo, I'm always broke and stretched for time.

[guyver2077]

im seriously debating on whether to keep on gaming after this generation.....

[XboxMaster]

I enjoy having all three systems. I only have to keep up with two of the three since I barely play Gamecube :D .

[Squirms]

I also own all three systems, and since joining this board my collection has swelled to nearly 50 next gen games. I only paid $50 for 2 or 3 of them. I am having a serious backlog between work, family, with another kid on the way. I find that I can't stop buying, in fact there are several more games I'll probably be purcahsing in the next few days. Thank you CAG, and you can go to hell.

[Moxio]

You've got all 3?

Lucky boy, you.

[sj41]

I only have xbox. I went to Walmart about half an hour ago and saw KotOR for $25. Since I just bought GTA 3, Blitz pro, xbox live 3 month starter kit with RS3 in the past week I decided not to get it. I won't be getting a Gamecube until I finish all of my games for xbox. I have about 30 xbox games total. I'm going to sell as many as I can in a garage sale so I should have about 15 left. 8 of them have an actual story mode that I need to finish. It's going to be awhile before I get another system. I just hope I can sell most of my games. Please god? [-o<

[BULL_Ship]

With online its alot harder to get to the next game. I haven't even played sc:pt in single player.

[thatstoobad]

With online its alot harder to get to the next game. I haven't even played sc:pt in single player.

that's one reason why i'm reluctant to actually get online.

i have all three systems and it's not so bad. true, i have have a bunch of games that still need to be opened, but it's nice to have options. the argument could be made that i spend too much on games, but after getting 7 games today for $35, i really don't feel like i do.

the only real drawback that i find is that i don't really watch as many of my dvds as i think i should. because of the games, i never get around to watching the movies i own, which sucks. i probably spend more on movies than i do on games.

[pukemon]

my unopened ps2 games keeps on swelling. i finally stopped opening my games as soon as i got them. if i had done that sooner, my collection of psone games and ps2 would almost be godly. i've opened almost all my gamecube games and have been doing a decent job of knocking them out. i think the wavebird has alot to do with my addiction to the gamecube. no, maybe it's the games. no, the wavebird. no, the games. i think it's teh handle.

[Quackzilla]

All I play now is Nintendo 64.

The games are just better and they cost less.

And the controller is the best controller ever.

[wookieballz]

I sympathize with ya, pukemon. I've got nine great games (which I bought at low, low prices...new...thanks, CAG!!!) that are just sitting around for my Xbox and PS2.

My cheap-ass* stockpile of games I don't have time to even open are:

Ninja Gaiden
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Silent Hill 3
Final Fantasy X-2
Freedom Fighters
Breakdown
XIII
Dark Cloud 2
Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow

How in the HELL am I supposed to play these games?!?

*(fun CAG fact: thanks to this forum, the combined price of all the above games, brand-new, is less than $140...including sales tax).

[swetooth9]

i'll take ffx-2 off your hands...lol

i'll take an xbox too since i wanna be able to play halo whenever w/o havin to go to my firend's house :)

all i got is ps2 and gba (not even sp)...but those are my 2 fav systems anyway...just want the xbox for certain titles and b/c it has all this harddrive space

[wookieballz]

"i'll take ffx-2 off your hands...lol"

lol. Thanks for the offer, but I actually plan on finishing that one...hopefully before FFXII comes out.

[hohndog]

I've always had all the systems, I'm sick that way like I'm sure most of us are. This site has saved me a TON of money supporting my family's habit. Yes, I passed the 'gamer' curse onto my kids. I've been asked countless times which system I like the best. I just don't have an answer. I like them all and will like the future systems just as much. I stopped by one of my local BBs yesterday to grab what $4.99 goodies I could find. Picked up Disney Skate Adventure, Powerpuff Girls, Voodoo Vince and Legaia 2. All for under $25! I would have spent more, but everything else except the stupid trucking game... forget the name, was gone. Oh, and I puchased Haunted Mansion for $14.99 after the GGC the day before, so had them price-match to get back $10 and change. Thanks again CAG! This site is a MUST for anyone who has our video game illness. Hoot!

[FlipSide]

I have the same blessing of having all 3 systems (4 if you add my GBA sp). If it wasnt for CAG i'll prolly wont have a Cube, since buying games for Xbox and PS2 is expensive enuff. I have also a decent PC setup, I can play most new releases in high settings (UT2004, Far Cry etc) so far im only concered when DOOM 3 comes out, but by that time I should be time for me to build my next PC.

Yes I do have 20+ games still sealed, 20+ more opened for testing purposes and trying to play 3-4 games at a time. But I dont consider any of that a problem :lol:

Man it sucks having all of these BMW's in my garage, too many rooms in my mansion to count, and not enough banks in the world to keep my money in. Somebody please pity me.
