Monthly backlog challenge

[TheKanga]

Well i have a lot of games in my collection that are either unplayed or half finished.
I thought this might be a fun way to motivate myself and others to dig into their backlog of games.

The challenge for December is
- Complete 5 games between now & December 31st.
- You only have to complete the main story or see the credits roll.
- They can be games you have already started.
- Games you are replaying don't count.
- It doesn't matter if you fail, it's all just for fun.

1. Forza Horizon 2
2. Watch_Dogs
3. Shadow of Mordor
4. Pikmin 2
5. Beyond Two Souls

Will edit mine as I finish some games.

Ah crap. I'm already out because most games are RPGs.

You can do it, pull a couple all nighters
I have this thing where I get halfway into an RPG and then not play it for years.

Happened with me for Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, about five PS2 games ...

Hmm.

1. Earthbound
2. Legend of Heroes 1
3. Suikoden 1
4. Suikoden 2
5. Suikoden 4

I won't get through item 2.

 

[PAdman]

Great idea, I really need to push through with the 500 games I have sitting there.

Let's go:

1. Red Faction: Armageddon
2. New Super Mario Bros 2
3. Shadows of the Damned
4. Killzone Mercenary
5. Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D

I might only be able to finish one game.

How do you guys have so many on the go? If i stop a game to start a new one there is a reason for it and i dont usually go back to it.

 

[Premiers04]

1. The Last Of Us Remastered
2. Forza Horizon 2
3. Super Mario 3d World
4. Zelda: Wind Waker
5. Sunset Overdrive

I will get none of these done, despite having a month off work over Xmas, because of Destiny, lol.

ADHD basically.

I'm already struggling with keeping motivated with Earthbound. Stupid enemies hit too much too often and I keep missing.

I just get overwhelmed and have to play heaps at once.
Although sometimes if I really like a game i'll play that alone until I beat it.
I did this recently with Sunset Overdrive.

Does GTAV on PS4 count considering I have played it on PS3?

I'm counting it.

1) Far Cry 4
2) GTAV
3) Pokemon OS
4) Shadow of Mordor
5) COD Advanced Warfare

 

[Dredd]

I'm an achievement hunter so ill aim to 100% the following games:

1. Halo: the Master Chief Collection
2. LIMBO
3. Assassins Creed 1

is doable but there will be a lot of gaming involved.

A couple of new games and some older stuff that I never got around to finishing for whatever reason...

1. Far Cry 4
2. Halo: Master Chief Collection (all campaigns)
3. Borderlands 2
4. Metro: 2033
5. Spec Ops: The Line

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

- The Evil With In
- Farcry 4
- Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

I'll give it a go.

- Pokemon Omega Ruby
- Burnout Paradise (yeah, I know I'm behind, I've had it for ages and only started it recently)
- Persona 4 Golden
- Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
- Borderlands 2 + DLC - PS Vita

I haven't got a hope in hell seeing as I'm only close to finishing the first three, but at least I can say I set a goal

Became the Horizon champion in FH2 today, however overall I'm only 20% complete.
I plan on playing the game til 100% so I won't mark it off yet.

Should have Watch_Dogs & Beyond Two Souls wrapped up by the end of the week.

 

[funk44]

I tend to get bored of a game quite quickly these days (can't play for much more than an hour at a time) and almost never play one through to the end so I've got a few on the go and I've got a bit of time off over Xmas so...

Rayman Legends
Starcraft 2
Far Cry 4
Super Mario 3d
New Super Mario WiiU
COD Advanced Warfare
Assassin's Creed Unity - didn't stop crashing
Super Smash Bros - haven't touched
Last of Us - found it terribly boring and gave up after a few hours but I might have another crack at it
