Forums - Gaming - How great is your backlog?

mine has been shirking as of late if you count only games owned.  Since I've not bought many games this year.  Although there are many that came out this year that I would love to play at some point.  The sad thing for me was when games in the backlog became series in the backlog.  Thankfully I've even started on some of them.

Probably 30 to 40 games I own that I need to get off my backlog,  mostly ps2 games.

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?

Unopened Borderlands?  Did you purchase it full price when it was released? If so, do you regret buying it for the fact that since you wanted this long you couldve gotten the new Borderlands GOTY Edition that is now out?

Actually Borderlands has been I've been wanting for quite awhile. I just got into PC gaming and snagged a new copy off ebay for cheap a couple of weeks ago. I hoping I can play with others who haven't gotten the DLC or GOTY.

I think you are the winner..



I should be finishing Assassin's Creed 2 soon.  I picked up Fallout New Vegas today.  That is my backlog for disc based games, because I sell every game on ebay as I beat it.  Only game that I couldn't stand enough to beat in the past year was Final Fantasy XIII, so that was sold before beating.   If I had collected all my games throughout the past 10 years I would have many, many hundreds.



AceRock owns one PS3, one PS Vita, and one PS4.

Guys i didn't even mention my older gen ones

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

I'd consider gold on all of the arcade/challenge pretty much complete. Did you beat the story mode on hard?



Because of trophies and silly little things (like getting a certain weapon which doesn't give you much but is just for completion sake) I class many games as done when some might consider them not. Trophies mainly because they are added bonus and not a game selling feature.

 Resonance of Fate - just keep getting distracted by other games.

Valkyrie Profile 2 - not completed and now sold as didn't enjoy it

Rogue Galaxy - not completed and sold, was okay but not great

Transformers PS2 (non-movie one) just didn't kill the final boss.

A few PS1 games I recently purchased, Omega Boost and Vagrant Story, collection purchase really, so newer games took priority.

.... that's it, most other games I'd class as completed. I'm not going to spend my life trying to find that one single item to make another item in FFXII or whatever, I've seen the videos, it looks like a boring task.



Hmm, pie.

Go to your room!

 

OT:

I rarely complete a game 100% but I have alot of games that I haven't beaten or played at all.

I think I need to find the Ocarina of Time!



All my wishlist plus a lot more if we consider also games we want to play but we don't own yet.

Just considering games I already own but I didn't start playing yet:

PC

  • Gothic 2
  • Gothic 3
  • Mass effect 1
  • Sacred
  • Rainbow Six Vegas
  • GTR
  • GT Legends
  • Colin McRae Rally
  • Nascar Racing 4
  • ...and maybe some more, I should check old magazines gifts...

The driving games in the backlog were either bought when I still hadn't a wheel and I could play only the most arcade with a joystick, or are kept in the wait by GPL.

Plus I must reinstall GPL itself and also Morrowind and Thief III and finish them when I'll have reinstalled Windows and solved a problem with optical discs not recognized, that prevents new installations and makes copy protection of some already installed games fail.

Now playing: Planescape:Torment on the notebook and GPL on the desktop.
