Game franchises you have to pass up on.

I'm the same way ... but the reality is I'd probably have to take 5 years off and do nothing but play games to ever get through my backlog.  I bet I have 70 games for the WiiU alone that I haven't even played once yet and the PS4 is getting just as bad.  Some of them are good games too like Witcher3, Bioshock, Horizon ZD, Xenoblade, The Last of Us Remastered, ect.

I still have a bunch of ps2 games in my backlog. At some point you got to stop lying to yourself and admit it's just a waste of money. Especially nowadays when I walk in a store and that shiny copy I bought at launch is now $10 or a ps+ freebie. One day I'll play DQ8, where are they now, 11... However now I buy those $10 copies to further fill my backlog anyway, cause why pass up good games when they're only $10 :/ Demon's souls I'll start you any time now, oops servers are going offline next year. Will I make it, not a chance.

This gen I quit buying at launch (with the exception of my 4 Switch games - it will take forever for them to drop in price anyway) I finally picked up Horizon ZD for $20 on black Friday and next to Breath of the Wild that was my most anticipated title of the year.  Odds are I am lying to myself but if I can keep my machines in good running order and / or buy back - ups then someday I'll be able to do some "new to me" retro gaming.
