    I seem to always be picking up games, maybe playing them for one gaming period (1-6 hours) and then putting them down and never touching them.

Not just you Kafke, I have this happen to me as well. By the time I take out work, domestic fun duties, spending some quality time with the SO and with mates, there's not the greatest amount of time left to be had from the average week. Less so with rotating shifts, rosters and work.

But, I accept that; it's the nature of the beast. What time I have is then divided on a raft of free time activities, and then trying to balance on giving time to everything, to do everything I want to do.

What infuriates me most is when I look forward to playing a game, and then it turns out to be a let down; I then feel both time and money have been wasted: I could've spent the cash on something else, and the time doing something more rewarding.

This is a big part of why I am so let down by GTA V, and I'm not phased about how unpopular that makes me: I have spent a few evenings trying to play it and ending up infuriated at the controls and glitches, and have given up on it as I don't want to waste more time on it.

On the plus side, my housemate bought it, not I haha.
