Forums - Gaming - How great is your backlog?

As many gamers know, there's always those games in your collection that have yet to be beaten, enjoyed, or worse yet even started. It seems with so much to do, I always have that problem. Yet I keep buying games. Right now I have

  • Not unlocked all the levels on brawl
  • Not beaten any of the Primes in Trilogy
  • Only scratched the surface with Monster Hunter Tri
  • Unopened Borderlands
  • Still not beaten Timesplitters 2 100%(damn you atom smasher>:( 

And plenty more

It's pretty frustrating. How big is your video game backlog?



Around the Network

I've got probably a good 100-200 games I really want to play (working through so many retro consoles will do that to your backlog), Worst part of it is, I maybe am able to get an hour of gaming in a day, so at best I might complete 2-3 games a month, but that backlog just keeps on growing.



I have 5 games unopened and 6 unfinished, for a total of 11 games in my backlog, I don't want to count those games that I haven't completed to a 100%.

Daang. Developers should just stop making games for awhile so you can catch up.

Well, obviously the games I am currently playing

I play and complete the main story of all the games I own. The following games still have side quests and the like unfinished:

Dragon Quest IX - only 72% of the optional quests and 61% of the alchemy

Super Paper Mario - haven't finished all the recipes

Timesplitters 2 - Haven't got platinum on all of arcade/challenge mode

All Advance Wars games - Haven't got 'S' on every stage

Final Fantasy XII - still some optional bosses left




Unopened games:

Persona 3 FES, Persona 4(tried to play a friends game), SMT: DDS1 and 2, Kingdom Hearts, Battlestations: pacific, assassins creed 2(arrived today) and C&C Red alert. Downloaded from steam and not even tried out: Birth of america, chrome&specforce, Company of heroes&opposing fronts, Darwinia, Deus ex: IW, Frontlines: Fuel of war, Gothic 2 and 3, Hitman Blood money, kings bounty: the legend, Men of war, Multiwinia, Port Royale 2, Puzzle kingdoms, sniper elite, uplink and X-COM collection.

Opened and played a little/not at all:

FF XII, Kingdom Hearts 2, Rogue galaxy, Dragon quest VIII, Star ocean 4, The last remnant, Infinite undiscovery, Tales of vesperia, SC: Conviction, Lego indy&Kungfu panda, Viva pinata TIP, 24 the game, God of war 1&2, MGS 2&3, Gran turismo 4, Blue dragon, bully scolarship edition, Endwar, Super mario galaxy, mad world, little king's story. Not going to list all steam games I've played a little.

Aaand the games I've not finished (100%, I usually play the main story and most of the side quests):

Roughly 100 games. (excluding steam)

 

The saddest part about this is that I am waiting for 3 games ordered and I will propably buy more of them without finishing many of them.

Dude.  I have a huge backlog but your backlog is fucking legendary.  Tell your boss/school teacher/girlfriend/pimp/whomever is taking up your free time and tell them you have some gaming to do!



it's big, but it's slowly getting smaller. I'll buy only 2 new games until the big Christmas sale where my backlog will increase again: Football Manager 2011 and the new Europa Universalis 3 expansion. one of my new year resolutions of 2010 was to stop buying every game out there, deals or not. now I accept that I won't play EVERY game ever made, even good ones. so far I think I'm pretty successful...



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
