When Playing Video Games...

[DynasticJam]

So, when you guys play on a big game like Final Fantasy, do you put all your time and effort into that one game, or do you play several other games at the same time? The reason why I ask this is because I've got the whole summer holidays to play games, I am currently playing Final Fantasy X once again, however, would it be a good idea to play another Final Fantasy game at the same time? Thanks.

I think you would get the most enjoyment out of a game like Final Fantasy by only playing one at a time.

I'd play only one game at a time. It's more enjoyable that way.

I usually play one game at a time. Even that seems to take forever to me these days (FFIVA took me eight months to beat, about 37 hours according to the game clock). Playing several games at a time would end up with me having loads of unfinished games, and most likely each save game would be in a tougher position where continuing the game requires more effort, not to mention I'll have forgotten what was going on in the game.

I tried to play several games at once, but I ended up dumping the other game and I never played it again. ... twice... naked.

I usually play several games at a time, but I only finish games when I play one at a time. I usually start with several and end up sticking with whatever one I want to play the most until it's done, and then either moving on to one of the others, or not even finishing them. Usually the one I don't finish I just don't really need to finish though. I get my few hours enjoyment and that's enough.

Depends. If i'm just level grinding, I can do that with two games at the same time.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Nah, I like to play two games. Right now I'm playing The Longest Journey and System Shock 2.

I wouldn't play two similar games (like two Final Fantasy games) at the same time though.

If im playing an RPG like Neverwinter Nights or Baldurs Gate, I don't really play any other games. If im playing DMC or FF then I love to get on the old mega drive and kick the hell out of some thugs on Streets Of Rage 2. Espectially when FF pi**es me off. Man, the oldschool are some of the best.

[Twisted Tinkerbell]

I still have my mega drive, no idea if it still works, I should find out... anyway, I play a few games at once, especially if I'm training characters up on ff.

[Dreddz]

Im usually on 2 games on the go, its usually on a console and a handheld :)

[Agent Proto]

If I'm playing an RPG, I usually spend most of my gaming time to that game, occasionally playing a few other non-RPG games once in awhile.

[Tavrobel]

I usually focus on one game at a time. It's hard to play Starcraft and Warcraft III simultaneously.

[Cruise Control ^_^]

I play three. A game on the PS2, one on the GBA, and a ROM. However, one of these usually takes priority and gets played three times as much.

I try to only play one game at a time, because otherwise, I'm likely to quit both (or all) of the ones I'm playing. Often I'll play like a handheld and a console game at the same time, just because I can play the handheld at times I can't play the console.
