On your preferred gaming platform (Xbox, Playstation, PC, etc), how many RPGs do you have on that systems hard drive/cloud/library?

Thanks Luethar.

ca. 1200-1300 for the PC.

I think for Watchers you have to multiply each option by 10.

I didn't keep anything for many, many years, so I feel like this answer would be wildly misleading. I've owned well over 150 RPGs in my life, but at present? Maybe 60 or something like that.

Definitely 500+ on steam
as a fun fact was checking now, from my top 50 games by playing time, 40 were rpgs

Depends what you mean by RPG.

Let's see, I have:

• 275 games in my Steam library, of which I marked 82 as RPG.
• 373 games in my GOG library, of which GOG classifies 173 as RPG.
• 119 games in my EGS library (all freebies!), of which GOG Galaxy (or EGS, not sure, I access them through Galaxy) classifies 30 as RPG.

That's a total of 285 RPGs, though there's some amount of overlap between the 3 libraries. I like to have games on Steam and GOG (though will usually pick GOG if I have the choice and the prices are similar).
I'd probably guesstimate around 200 unique RPGs. I am pretty picky with what I pick up though.

And yeah, only thinking PC I have WAY more than 131 RPGs.

Also have more than 50 RPGs for:
- Mac (platform compatibility keeps dropping the numbers)
- PSP
- Nintendo DS / Gameboy Advance

Lowest total is for the Switch where I only have ~25 or so RPGs.

Heh I am way down at 11-25. It said owned and I often get rid of games once they hit a certain age or if they weren't that great. So how many I own is a whole lot less than how many have I played.

It might be 26-40 if I searched through various odd platforms outside of steam like GOG, EA, Bethnet, Battlenet … but not about to try and remember how to login to those, or install, to see if I have left over games on accounts there.

So will say 11-25 currently actively owned versus left over games I own but are just sitting out there in the virtual world.

Depends how you define 'RPG'

EDIT: after counting, according to my definition, about 47 on PC (not counting the CD/DVD games that I discarded a few months ago).

I'm impressed by some of the numbers above

Many, many RPG, I just need more time, so I can play/replay them.

I have 700+ games on Steam. No idea how many are RPGs, and I'm not going to attempt to sift through all that. I think it's safe to say that 150+ are RPGs.

Aren't most of your games on Steam though? How can you get rid of them?

you can remove games through this https://help.steampowered.com/en/wizard/HelpWithGame

sadly it works for one game at a time, otherwise i would have removed more than 1000 trash from my account

I don't own any, though I'm licensed to play a whole bunch of them.

I wasn't about to try counting them all so I just guessed.

Four hundred thirty two at great old games, at least ninety percent are rpg's. Close to three hundred on Steam, and I'd guess eighty percent are rpg's. So, a few. And, of course, I don't truly own the Steam ones, so there's that to consider.

Believe @porcozaur answered.

I dislike clutter so I tend to remove games I didn't like or know I won't replay again. I just don't like seeing them listed.

Somewhat the same way with quests in my quest list

EDIT: Saw some other comments. I do have some hard copies still of games. I own all the BG1, BG2 and related expansions in hard copy in a big box. Will probably take it to my grave.

Also Skyrim. That's it for hard copies. Guess the other are licenses.

I do have SIMS4 on EA, the DA and ME games with EA I think … maybe some on Steam. GOG I have Witcher maybe, which I never finished. So a few others scattered about. Oh Outer Worlds on Epic.

Probably have license to play more games then I remember so my count could be a little higher.

But you are right - most are on steam as I prefer a single place for my games and I have never had any big issues with Steam myself. Find it a good service overall. If it wasn't I would use it less often.

I'm the same. Too many to count, I still have every game I've ever played. I even think my C64+games are boxed up in my parents loft.

I agree with this too, that would give a better spread of data.

Hmm 151+ easy. Oldest is likely MM2. I own it on floppy disk. I don't own anything that will load it of course. I have hundreds of computer cd's and don't own a cd player either. Everything I play now is digital. Everything disk-based is rpgs, since that's all I ever played until the survival genre popped. I'd say the most obscure game is either Amberstar or Keys to Maramon. I also own gobs of indie games on floppy, but most won't load. I have all the exile games on floppy, for instance. Excelsior, Lysandia, Yendorian Tales 1-3, et al.

crpgnut isn't a nick, it's a lifestyle.

You can just hide them you know.

Or create a favorites list and keep your view preference set to favorites.

I have a somewhat different method since my tastes can be so whim based. I wouldn't want to ever remove a game, thinking I would never want to play it again, and find someday down the road that I changed my mind. Not even once.

So I created a category called "black sheep" and put those games in there. Leave the list unexpanded and I basically don't ever see them.
