I was unable to buy games for almost 9 months, and at the time I felt like gaming was pretty meh and only watched movies with my free time. But now that I can buy games again, I realized I had a bunch of games to buy and enjoy. I quite enjoy having a backlog to be honest, because then it means I still enjoy gaming.
The problem for me is that I really like replaying my older games too. If I only played new games, I probably wouldn't have a backlog. But, I also haven't been working full time for the past 3 years since I've been in law school.

I know Sony seems to have taken a bit more interest in releasing games in the summer months with Ghost of Tsushima and Tlou 2 both releasing in July and June respecitvely, we need more of that from everybody tbh. |
Releae respecitvely :Wright Eyes:
OT: Lol who tf works anymore? Also better off not buying games day one anyway.

Horizon west arrived 2 days ago, can't play yet, Elden ring which I forgot about comes in 2 days, that will sit out, 2 weeks after that gt7 releases. Returnal looks like like wont be played this year, as is deathloop sitting on my desk, along with the medium, guardians of the galaxy. Kena I have but no time. Ghostwire will have to skip unfortunately.. Still haven't played the ps5 astro game. Sifu I just got, don't know when i'll play that. Cyberpunk will wait till it gets patched further. I need a holiday asap.

If your backlog of things you want to play is "too big," all that really means is 1) You always have something to play, and 2) You'll never have to pay very much for games, because you're never in such a desperate need so as not to be able to wait on a great sale. |
What I miss is the hype that comes around a game on release day, and being among a crowd excited for it. But these days when a game is releasing, your already pre ocupied with something else.

I think hype is a big factor. I missed a few of the games you mentioned but I remember at the time like kena that i really wanted to play it. Yet I forgot about it completly. Could be the hype was gone and something new replaced it and was fresher on my mind and now I probably wont go back to kena. I think it would only be a big game like elden ring or returnal that I missed that I would go and keep some hypenfor them.
It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.
I don't have time to play everything to completion. I go through my rotation of unfinished games until I find one that keeps my interest. Right now those games are Skyward Sword HD and DBZ Kakarot, punctuated by some Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask is out on Switch Online Expansion Pack on Friday, so that's another for the old backlog. And every once in awhile, I'll fire up BotW again and go hunting for Lynels.
Typically, the games I buy day one are niche RPGs, because I know that if I wait, it won't be long before I won't be able to get them for less than $100 on eBay.
