Title, For myself, most games I will at least start right away and then get to a difficult or grindy part and then put it away until I really want to check it off my backlog. And when it comes to my backlog the time wildly varies because I like to randomly choose a game to play when I beat something or get tired of the games I am playing. So my length of time between buying a game and actually sitting down to beat it varies, from playing and beating immediately, to a few months or years gap to will I ever beat Hamtaro for GBC??? |

One of these days I'll play Tactics Ogre on the ps1 |

Years and years for me usually, unless its a newer title, because if I'm buying it when its newer instead of waiting, then its something I want to get to. I'm only just now getting to some GameCube and Saturn games that I've owned for years |

Depends on the game, my interest at the time and what other games are vying for my attention at the time. Some games I play immediately, others wait for years and years. My backlog is irresponsibly large, heh |

I get in moods. Some games I really want and when I get them via trade, I'll play them immediately. Others I'll spend money on and wait a few years, whether it be for achievement purposes (a "me" thing), the estimated length to beat so I can gauge progress etc, or just what I wake up and am craving that day. Hoping next year will be better with progress. |

It takes me a long time to play a newly-acquired game unless I was particularly hyped for it or someone else is motivating me to play it. The problem is that everything sounds good when I add it to my collection, but when I have free time to play, I fall back on the same few games. I already know I like them and the appeal of playing them is stronger than starting something new. I face this struggle with books and anime, too; I hope to overcome it someday. |

I've given myself a goal this year to focus on my physical backlog, and the stack that I'm using to track that includes exactly how long the games I finish have been backlogged. Up to 17 completed so far this year. https://www.completionator.com/Stack/View/1678 Part of the inspiration for the goal was this post, so thank you Relu!

About 1/3 to 1/2 of the games within the first year I get them, the rest between 2 and 40 years after I buy them. |

Like most, probably much longer than I should. I've made a personal rule that I must complete, sell, or remove from account 3 games for every 1 I buy. Having been on base for the last 3 months has been a good chance to kill some of my digital stuff though. On the whole it can take me years to get to a game I've bought, this site has improved that dramatically though. |

You play the games you buy? Joking, but that should give you an idea of my situation lol so many games I wanted so badly but haven't touched. |
