How do you pick what you will play next?

[StaceyPowers]

If you have a pile of games waiting for you that are all going to take many months to complete and you have one open slot in your gaming schedule, how do you pick which game to play next?

Honestly, it's an extremely complicated process - I just flip a coin several times and after countless eliminations, I choose a game. I'm just kidding by the way but it depends on what game interest me and if the reviews are good, then I go play it.

I don't choose games or levels to play next, I go by random which the game opens up for me in order to allow it appear more realistic.

Do you mean in terms of price point?

I always have a game on my mind to play before going on playing it. I don't select randomly, and most of the games I have are placed periodically.

Nope, i am.talking about following the game levels just as they were set and not skipping the game too fast simply to reach its ending point.

I play games due to the feelings I have at the moment. I can decide going to any option provided that I have the feeling or interest of playing it that time.

I try not to think about it too much, because otherwise I wouldn't end up playing any of them.. 😆

The moment I feel like firing up a new game, I just try to glance at my backlog and hope that something catches my eye.

I often lack motivation to play games from my backlog. Whenever I start playing something it is entirely on a whim, no thought goes into it, just that at that moment I found some motivation to start a certain game. It could be for a number of reasons, like a new mod was released that makes the game more appealing, or simply someone mentioned the game somewhere, or most of the time for no reason at all.

I watch a lot of gaming content on Youtube (reviews, critiques, game design talks), so sometimes I'll watch videos on a game I have on my backlog. This'll help me get a better idea of what to expect, maybe clue me into the historical or industry significance of the game, and generally hype me up for the experience, since watching gameplay naturally makes me want to try it out for myself.

Sometimes, I do it randomly and it works for me most of the time. Then again, I do by recommendation from a very close friend I can take his or her word on the game.

I always hold the game on my kind to play, I simply go for the option that tickles my attention at that moment, and not random choose.

The reason I love playing with recommendation is that it offers me a full time satisfaction knowing that the gamer who recommended it already played and enjoyed it.

Recommendations that comes through showing off the video game trailer is the best recommendations for me through the help of the reviewers.

Since I can spend quite some couple of minutes playing video games due to some online assignments, I simply use 20-30 mins to enjoy the ride around MGP.
