At some point you have to start shaving off the back end of your backlog, 150 games isn't a backlog it just games going back to the large ocean of games that will never be played, hell even worse than that because they are imprisoned games you are least likely to ever play. Honestly pick a small list of 10, maybe 20 max games out of that and scrap the rest, dip in every now and then and vonstantly change that list up based on mood and when you feel like a certain genre go to your backlog over going to the store, you can manage it but unless you start isolating games to be played you'll only add to it and gorever have the dreaded graveyard of games that have much, muvh less chanve of being played than a full priced 6 month old title because of it's illusion of newness and value even though these (your backlog) games are free to you. Resurrect the dead games with some clever use of folders and will power ;). |
I get what you're saying, and I did do exactly what you said a few years back. Just on a smaller scale. I had some Genesis and N64 games that I planned on beating, but I sold them, because I realized those games had aged past the point of being fun anymore.
Most of my backlog was built up when I was in college. I didn't have as much time to play games back then, and I lived in a mecca of used game shops. When I was in school I was lucky to get 15 hours a week. I didn't start playing over 20 hours a week again until 2015. And by then the XB1/PS4 generation was in full swing. I expect 2020 and 2021 to be slow years for videogames, so I should be able to catch up during those years. 2013-2014 were pretty slow years for XB1/PS4 in terms of new games. My backlog has always grown and shrunk as each new gen ebbed and flowed.
And finally, there's a lot of 10-15 hour games in there. Those will be easy to knock out. Lots of SNES/NES/Genesis games.
