What does your back-catalog look like?

[UncleScrooge]

I really don't understand why you guys have such huge backlogs. Do you get these games on a sale or something? Seriously, if you don't have the time to play a game you don't buy it. Just off the top of my head I'm interested in buying God of War: Ascension, Last of Us, Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Tearaway and Ocarina of Time 3D. But I don't have the time to play them all so I don't buy. Especially when it comes to PS3 games as they drop so much in price over time.

My current "back catalog" looks like this:
- Pikmin 3 (95% through, no idea why I stopped playing)
- Super Mario 3D World (50% through, only play it in multiplayer and we'll finish it soon)
- Pokémon X (70% through, still playing)
- Uncharted 3 (stopped playing long ago because I lost interest)
- Zelda: A Link between Worlds (just got started today)

I'm either playing these games or stopped playing them because I lost interest. If a game bores me I don't beat it, I just toss it aside and make a memo in my head to not buy the sequel. If you don't buy a game at launch but wait you can easily save $30+ per game in the process (not counting Nintendo games as they keep their price over time). And after the hype died off you have a way better understanding of the game's actual quality and know better which games to buy. It just saves you a lot of money and time because when you don't buy something you don't feel obligated to play through it.
