How bad is your backlog/pile of shame of games?


How bad is your backlog

  1. 1. My backlog contains:

    • 1-5 games I still need to finish
    • 5-10 games I still need to finish
    • 10+ games I still need to finish! I've fallen way behind

At the rate I play and complete games, I'm set for another year or two. I have 5 to 10 games I haven't even touched yet, and another dozen or so that I've beaten but not fully chieved.

Complicated button combos is the main reason I stay away from (and, frankly, suck at) fighting games. 

 

I have like 1/2 a dozen PSP games that I haven't dealt with. I think I might need to just give them & the PSP away.

LOL, the only fighting games I can remotely play is the Street Fighter Series. I do enjoy watching skilled players play any fighting game in general, though. My specialties used to be in side scrolling shooters, such as Gradius and Thunderforce. Never cared much for the top-down, bullet hell shooters.

Anyone want to share which game they are most embarrassed or disappointed to have in their pile o' shame?

 

Me? Ocarina of Time  :blush: I played it on N64 because my friend had one when I had a PS, but I never completed it then when I bought my 3DS it was the first game I bought. I hated the small screen on the 3DS so I upgraded to an XL and swore I would finally finish Ocarina. Never did.

I actually don't know what's worse now:

 

- buying a bunch of games and not playing them

- buying one that hooks you so you can't get off of it for a whole year

 

 

time = money!

30+

 

Though for the most part, ones I have but haven't played are from Humble bundles that I got because there was a game in it I wanted.

For a few years mine was Bioshock. I lost my save file not long after the game came out, but Halo 3 was a few days away and I just never went back to it. Finally completed it last year. Fable 2 is another one I never finished for the same reason; lost save file. I've made a start on it but need motivation to finish it as I got bored of re-doing missions.

 

My biggest shame currently is probably HL2 Ep 1 and Ep2. Not very old obviously, but my original idea was to wait for all 3 episodes to be available and play them through in a marathon, pretending to myself it would be HL3. Yeah....plan didn't work out :laugh:

yes, I guess much respect to those with self control. was always a buffet gamer, not really impressive completion or even play rate. but it has gotten much worse in the last five years what with Steam sales, sales everywhere, mobile gaming, tablet gaming, and for several years an Xbox 360, PS3, and PC concurrently. Now only PS4, PC, Windows Phone, and Android tablet. Backlog in the many dozens, not even sure how many.
