One at a time?

I play one game at a time because then I can fully focus on progressing and eventually completing it. Playing too many may pose as a distraction to me, as I'd probably lose track on what to do next in each of the games. To enjoy a game to it's full potential it needs your 100% undivided attention, in my opinion.

I like to focus on one game and several side games.

Sticking to that is hard though, what with all the new games coming out and how little time I have to beat the ones I have before then. :bag:

i try to beat every game that i play and therefore it would be one at a time. But thats usually not the case when you i play on multiple consoles. Now when i have i new ds game thats always the only game i play and only after some time i'll return to my older games.

It depends on the game. I have played Smash continuously for basically a week, and when I got Zelda: A Link Between Worlds I played that until I got stuck, then switched to Pokemon, and when I felt like playing I would switch back to Zelda. Pokemon gets boring after you been the E4 and the postgame (if there is any). Zelda doesn't even have a postgame.

Sidegames: Swords and soldiers, shovel Knight, my old wiiu games (like mk8 and hw), plants vs zombies, pokemon as

If the game is something with a real story line and stuff like kingdom hearts or kid icarus then I pretty much only play that game for a while until I beat its main story. Then I may just bounce back and forth playing games in my collection until I get a new game. If the game is like ssb, with no story, then I may play other games during my play through

I usually jump around playing games. But I agree with @Mikaya . I need to focus on one game or I'll get confused on numerous things like the controls, the storyline. Also, as @Nightsrain622 said, playing a story-driven game and a side game (like smash) occasionally. Basically depends on my mood. But, Most of the time, I get bored of one game and switch. I'm left with a bunch of incomplete games. :D

I usually play a lot of games at the same time, however, certain games can change my mind (Like Animal crossing lol) also games with good plot or with a great mystery can get my whole focus, mostly RPGs

I usually play all my games at the same time. When I get a new game I usually play and just it until I finish the story, afterwards I play it along with all my other completed games and try to finish the various post-game/achievements/challenges on each of them - i.e. do 3 challenges in Gunvolt, switch over to Shantae and find some Cacklebats/Heart Squids, switch over to Kirby and play some Dedede Tour, etc.

I can only play one game at a time. Whenever I start multiple games at once I always end up forgetting about the others and then just never play them again.

For me it depends, or often finding myself playing one game at first and finishing it and going to the other, but if it's a game that I really want to play then I'm more likely to start a new in the middle of playing another.

It's a bad habit I know and it often leaves me confused as what the controls do. Haha, anyway that's what I usually do.

I can't play more than one at a time ._. I end up forgetting about one or the other. Even if it's a multiplayer game I can't play anything else.

I usually play one game at a time, but that's because I mainly get one at a time. I like to thoroughly go through a game, trying to get every collectible item and doing every sidequest possible. Imo that's the proper way to get the most out of your money.

I don't really play so much games at the same time but I like playing just one at a time because I just feel more focused in that game and it makes me concentrate more on certain stuff in the game so that would be my choice . To me I rarely play 2 games at the same time but I am pretty sure that there was one time but that was probably because the game was boring or takes long to do something so yeah :)

Right now since i got pokemon shuffle and since you have a limited playing time because you have to replenish hearts i go to playing ironfall the demo but i already conquered it and so i just go to playing pokemon x or bleach dark souls for fun and the chain might go on.

Personally I play one game at a time on my console but i will play my 3DS and mobile when out and about (what i play then depends on time...short freemium longer 3DS game)

I can also play my short time games if i need a small break from my main game (ie if i play one lvl/boss repeatedly failing)

Yes I play only one game at a time as it help me to stay focused on game this make my mental stability to play game only but sometimes use to play two game for few days but I only able to enjoy for sometime if I carry on it become a great headache for me.

I usually play one game at a time. I like to just focus on one until I beat it. One I beat the game, if it deserves a replay then I will play it in between my plays of other games. Sometimes I will play multiple smaller game like Pokemon shuffle.

If it's a heavy story driven game then I will stick to it until the end. If it's a game that focuses more on multiplayer and has little to no story then I have no problem just jumping to other games.
