Im working on decreasing the amount of games I play but increasing the quality.

I think that I'm currently playing the top 5%, but want to cut it down to 1%.

What is everyone's opinion of the top 1% of this year?

top 1%... hm.
Skyrim. that is all.

top 5%:
Batman, SR3.
Thats about all I own these days, oh and L4D1/2 and Ghostbusters not sure what else I have, oh and Ghost Recon.

Good luck finding quality games though, when I say its quality it tends to only last for about a month then I'm bored of it and its traded.

1% of games is a difficult figure to relate too - we talking 1% of blockbusters, 1% of major disc releases, 1% of just console games...

I doubt I play 1% of all games released as it is.

Games from this year I wouldn't have wanted to miss... That's a bit easier. Skyrim, obviously, Deus Ex, Portal 2 are probably top of the list.


I must say, while I still buy a fair whack of games, most of the time I tend to just go with stuff I'm really interested in, but tend to still impulse purchase during quiet periods. Compared to back on PSone, where I was playing pretty much everything I could get my hands on, I've cut back massively. Still, I'm slowly cutting back myself as well, as I get older it just seems to much of a waste buying stuff I don't get chance to play properly.

and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

Yeah 1% is an idea more than a real figure. I'm talking 1 to 3 of the best games that year. I idea being saving both time and money. Maybe it's unrealistic, skyrim is probibly deceiving me that a few game will give me enought entertainment.

I've been trying (although it was completely blown out of the water this November) to not buy a new game until I've finished or at least got bored with the last. I've mostly stopped preordering as well.

Next year I'm going to try limiting myself to on game a month, and no new hardware. We'll see how long that lasts...

Depends how you job best 1%. Actual game quality or what you played most. The new Fifa 12 has really sucked me in this year with the new game mechanics and ultimate team, so I would pick that for me although for others this would be nowhere near the top.

Skyrim I can imagine sucks you in for a long time so I guess that.

Still have Uncharted 3 shrink wrapped. Shouldn't have brought it so early but I'm trying to get other things out of the way first so when i do start it i can give it the time it deserves. ATM im stuck between Skyrim, when TV's free and Battlefield 3 when im on PC

Sometime it's that engrossing that you've spent 14 hours on the character creation screen without even realizing it :P

I've clocked about 80 hours in skyrim... That's damn good value, and I'm probably half way through my current play through (and there's a whole bunch of side quests I've decided to save for next play through)



Games like skyrim are rare though, unless you're gonna get into mmo's or go full on with a sim. I probably clocked a couple hundred hours on GT3 back in the day....

Next year I prob won't be playing many games, what with the house to paint, and furnish with awesome gear, design the backyard, I doubt Ill have much time, and Ill prefer being out looking at stuff to do rather than sit around now, renting you tend to sit around, since its not your house to paint or do stuff to.

Once you get your own place you tend to find stuff that needs doing or something to go out and look at.

Ill likely get SpecOps and Ghost Recon 3 though, not sure about anything else.

I own my place but just can't be arsed with the whole "pink-sweater middle class look at me i'm on the property ladder" thing. My idea of hell is spending a weekend traipsing around homecentres, furniture stores and DIY shops pretending I'm a grown up and actually into that shit.

Ironic then that I spent hours furniture collecting and gardening in Animal Crossing DS. And will likely do the same on the 3ds version next year.

Each to their own I suppose, I enjoy keeping busy and actually doing up a place thats new and freshly built..
Not so much trying to be on the property ladder as such but its more looking after your place and doing it up to how you want is fun and enjoyable.

Beats living in a poor mans squalor and doing nothing but lazing about playing games all day :D

The things to do around a house just keep piling up. My problem is the funds. I cant afford to do the things the way I want and if I can't do it the way I want, what's the point? Not doing anything half arsed. Then the thought of how long we're actually going to be at this house for as we'd like to move to the farm some time and build in the future.....just keep thinking that at least it adds value to the house

On a side not, I thought I'd mention it on here instead of making a new thread but I played the demo for Rayman origins the other day and had a blast. Seriously considering buying it some time down the track. Really took me back to the mega drive days with games like Earthworm Jim, Bubsy, ect. Had that fun feel to it and goofy humor through sounds and animations. Graphics are awesome as well, really well done, very bright and vibrant

When I was a teenager I spent every summer holidays doing various home improvement tasks at the insistence of my dad (painting walls, painting fences, building drive ways, knocking down walls, building staircases, moving slabs, blah blah blah), I decided then that if I wanted something doing to my house when I owned one myself, I'd pay someone to do it. I'd hire a cleaner except for the fact I dont trust the fuckers to stay out of my shit.
