Your Gaming Backlog Thread

[CasuallyDressed]

Funk me...my list just doesn't seem to dissipate, no matter how hard i try.

This is just a sample, cos I can't be bothered listing each and every.

Diablo 3
Skyrim
XCOM The Bureau
Dawn of War 2 - Chaos Rising
Metro Last Light
MGS Peace Walker
Ni No Kuni
Dark Souls
Borderlands 2
Hitman Absolution
AC Black Flag
Alan Wake
Dragons Dogma
Bastion
Legend of Grimrock
Torchlight 2
Darksiders 2
Star Ocean
Mass Effect 3
etc, etc...

If I didn't buy another game this year, I still wouldn't have finished these by the end of 2015, let alone 2014.

You might finish this by the end of 2015.

My list goes all the way back to PSX on PSP. And Earthbound. Would take me 5 years of constant gaming.

Well you better get started then. I don't have a huge backlog of games compared to most people but yep there just isn't enough time to play everything. I'm trying to get through a bunch of Final Fantasy games atm which is going to take me forever.

I've got a couple of Harvest Moons to 'complete'. Yeah ...

Although if I were smart I'd start with the Suikoden series I've always wanted to play through. Damn you, Konami.

Looking through my collection it would honestly be easier to list the ones I've completed rather than all the ones I'm partially through/never started.

Cuts me to the core every time I think about my decision to start a family

To those who have unopened games and massive backlogs of unplayed games - how exactly does that happen? I've got an unfinished Skyrim and a 3rd playthrough of GTA IV: TBOGT as well as GTA: San Andreas (probably 20th playthrough) on rotation at the moments but everything else has been clocked at least once.

How do these backlogs happen? Not a criticism, I'm genuinely curious.

Steam sales.

My backlog is massive, too long to name.

I was making progress then got hooked on Borderlands 2 for a long time. Kinda got over that so I've been playing through some other games now.

Finished The Swapper the other day. Excellent little puzzle game with a space/psychological setting. Very cool.

Started back up on The Walking Dead from where I left off about a year ago. Solid game.

Also, when I get into online-only games it tends to slow down my backlog progression. For example, only played CSGO for a while or DOTA, etc.


IMO if Half-Life is on anyone's backlog it should be put straight to the top of the list. (Hopefully it still plays as well now as it did on release, man what a game)
