I install a few of them and give them a try and if one of them really gets me hooked, I try to stick to it and forget the others for now.

Also, sometimes I have to realize there's a difference between the games I enjoy and the games I would love to enjoy or think I should enjoy. That's what I thought of when you mentioned series and that you always want to play the first part before the second and so one. Do you really want to play all parts in a row in those cases or do you just think you need to, in order to appreciate the series? I know that thought, but it's kind of silly if you don't really enjoy part 1 and only play it because you'd love to play part 3, for example.

In the end it might keep you from playing the part you're really keen on, if you get burnt out on the less enjoyable parts leading to it. And who knows, maybe playing the more attractive parts first will make you more lenient towards the flaws of the predecessors, because then you can look at them through the tinted goggles of a fanboy. ;)

I play what I like to play and feel like playing. Usually this trends towards games I don't touch for a long while instead of newer games however.

Super Robot Taisen.OMG how I wish I could play them just to see Gurren Lagann,Gundam,Getter Robo,Big O and Mazinger together

Thats a good idea as well I did that in my holiday time I rolled a game that I forgot long time ago and continued playing and I was glad that I fineshed that game

Yeah, I finally finished a playthrough of Splinter Cell I started in 2008 or something!

I'm pretty excited to sit down and play BG+BG2 in BG Trilogy mod plus some others neat fixes but last the time I managed to get everything work everything fell apart because everytime I put a pin on the map the game crashed and I couldn't figure out why.

I would also like to play Fallout 1 and 2 but they seem to be hard to get to run at ideally and I refuse to play games I know are critically claimed and I know I'll like at "half decent" conditions.

Aside from them and some other possible RPGs I play what I want, when I want but I try to finish a few once in a while so I don't just jump between games endlessly which as bad as finishing for the sake of it.

Oh yeah, the question was also 'what are you looking forward to getting onto'
I've got The Witcher games and Divine games on backlog, Bully looks interesting too, Assassin's Creed, BioShock Deus Ex:HR (although I'll be anal and play IW first)

Problem with rpg games is that take a lot longer to finish arghhh why is rpg my favorite genre.

That's not a problem for me. I rather have a relatively long game with depth and a great overall experience than a bunch of fluff games that are shorter and less nuanced. My problem is that since I want them to be 'almost perfect' I don't accept low performance, instability, issues with saves or controls that I rather leave them alone until I can manage to get that instead of just playing them.
