I’ve gone a bit crazy on the summer and Black Friday sales this year.

All on Xbox

I’ve got the
Farcry primal (currently playing)
Dishonoured remaster
ezio collection
Fallout New Vegas
Turok one and two remasters
Assassins Creed Odyssey witch i started but that’s it
Skyrim special addition
Oblivion
Shadow of war gold addition had this for over a year now
Watchdogs 1
Walking dead the final season (waiting for all of it to be released.
The darkness 1
Final fantasy 13 and 13-2
South Park stick of Truth
Alien versus predator 2010
All the Star Wars games they released via backwards compat (although I’ve played them all before)
All three bioshock games
And some games I purchased for my PS4 but I’ll probably wont play until PS5 if it has backwards Compat.

Also got kingdom hearts 3 on preorder next month
And the assassins creed 3 remasters for March

There’s probably more but that’s all I can remember right now

 

oh man don't get me started cuz I bought a PS4Pro in the summer, got a bunch of games and now it's a pile, literally and digitally. I finally finished Telltale Batman and then I saw there was a Season 2 so I had to get that as well (wouldn't have known if I didn't post my completion trophy pic on Facebook hahahahh).

So it's

Battlefront II (2 more single player campaign missions left but finally bought the bullet and got Playstation plus so I can play that online although I'm awful)
Spider-Man
Telltale Batman S2

all playing at once

I got 2 free games of Playstation plus when I signed up, haven't tried 1 - japan influenced action game? only seen the title screen, played 30 minutes of Burly Men at Sea which I thought was interesting

still haven't played and loaded up
Day of the Tentacle remastered (well okay I played it a lot in the early 90s hahahh)
South Park: Fractured But Whole
Uncharted 3 game HD edition on a single disc, that would take forever but it was 20 bucks and haven't played any of them on PS3 so should be interesting if I ever crack it open

Oh and buying psplus restored my PS3 plus free games from years ago so I have Sonic II and Streets of Rage for free on PS3 if I want to give them a whirl

This is a large list for me because I'm a guy who generally devotes himself to one single game for a very long time. I was playing MGSV, both Phantom Pain and Ground Zeroes, for over a year.

 

My steam account.

My physical game spreadsheet.

Well above 2000 games on my backlog. Probably closer to 2500. In the near future I'm gonna try to go back through Martian Gothic Unification (PS1) since it glitched out a good way through the campaign and rendered my save unusable, Persona 3: The Answer (PS2), since I just couldn't deal with that much additional content after the 150 or so hours I spent in the main game, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (DS), since I finally got a copy.

 

Forgot I also have
all the 2D sonic games Sonic plus
the two Sonic Adventures games
Metal gear Sold 2, 3 and 5 and peace walker
The Planet of the ape RPG Last frontier
Splinter cell Duble Agent and Black list
Ryse Son of rome
Fable Anniversary
That's all of them now

 

i actually feel better about my own situation looking at some of your backlogs.

i wonder if the industry is able to sustain itself due in large part to gamers buying more games than they can actually play in their lifetime.

 

Shadow of the tomb raider
Uncharted Lost legacy
Horizon zero dawn
LEGO Harry Potter complete edition
LEGO Star Wars the force awakens
Injustice 2
God of war
Wwe 2k19
Just cause 3
Just cause 4
Injustice gods among us
Planet of the apes
Spider-Man dlc
Ac Odyssey dlc

 

Maybe, but i tend to wait for the sales unless it’s a dragon age or mass effect game I very rarely buy day one

 

Reading these lists makes me feel better too. Once a big game hits the £20-25 range it's hard to resist. I have:

• Divinity of Sin: EE
• FF VII
• FF IX
• Dark Chronicle
• Tales of Zestiria
• Tales of Berseria
• Mass Effect Andromeda
• Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds
• Uncharted: A Thief's End
• Uncharted: Lost Legacy
• Rise of the Tomb Raider
• God of War

(Italics are very, very new acquisitions.)

 

Add hit man game of the year edition and the Spyro trilogy to my list

 

I've got a relatively short backlog:

• Batman: Arkham Knight
• Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
• Fallout 4

 

good work m'dude.

 

I've only completed the two "Dracula X" games, "Simon's Quest", "Dawn Of Sorrow" and "Metroid: Samus Returns" since last April. I've worked on "The Rebirth", but still haven't finished it. Outside of that, I've only added "Spider-Man: Edge Of Time" and "Deja Vu" since then, along with SR.

 

I've recently added Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and This is the Police to my backlog.

 

So I'm anticipating a lot of backlog work this year, as I'm currently saving money for a wedding and a house and have placed a self imposed restriction on video games as a result. Only 100% surefire must-plays from here on out, and there aren't too many of those on the horizon. I'm actually really excited about it, as I've accrued quite a few titles I've yet to play through. Once I finish Kingdom Hearts III, if I don't have the urge to go back and replay the series (which is a strong possibility), I'll likely go back and start working my way through the Spyro trilogy, then maybe the Metroid Prime trilogy after that, or alternate titles. I've also had an urge recently to go back through the Super Mario Galaxies. Should be a lot of fun.

 

Yeah, but it's still fun.

Oh, it definitely does.

 

- Red Dead Redemption 2, sadly enough. I've started it and enjoy the game, but I feel I have to be in a certain frame of mind and have an allotment of uninterruptible time to get into it. Between that, finishing up AC Odyssey, a busy schedule, and the inticingly fun and fast matches of For Honor I just haven't gotten back into it.
- Dragon Age: Inquisition. I need to get to this some time. I finished DArigins and DA2 but my save files got lost and wasn't able to carry forward my choices into Inquisition. So effectively I have to do a whole new playthrough of the trilogy as well. But oof.
- Assassin's Creed Ezio collection. I got into Brotherhood before AC Odyssey and Red Dead distracted me.
- Skyrim. I've never beaten the main storyline to this day. I keep getting distracted by all the other side missions and then have a midlife crisis and need to restart my character because I didn't like the perks that I had chosen to put points into and wanted to try something different.
- Hollow Knight. This game has an awesome art style, but damn it is hard. Stuck on the second boss. I'll eventually get the patience to figure her out and push through. Eventually . . .
- Some other games, probably

 

Second boss is when the difficulty of that game really makes itself known, but later on she'll feel like a cakewalk compared to some of the lategame bosses. It got to the point where I just flat out refused to play anymore, and I just let a buddy of mine finish it for me. Really ruined my opinion of that game.

 

It's a shame, because I really love the art and the design and lore and everything else about it. I get the appeal of difficult, somewhat punishing games, but I wouldn't mind if there was a mode that was a little more forgiving.

 

I didn't want to necro the appropriate thread, but does anyone here actually recommend "Batman: Arkham Origins"? I know it has issues, but is it really terrible or just descent?

 

Well, it'd have one advantage over Arkham Knight - no feckin' Batmobile.

 

Its actually pretty good with some really good boss fights (best in the series IMO). Still buggy though.

 

Rime on PS4
Shadow of the Tomb Raider on PS4

 

Yeah, I did get and play it. I concur with your assessment. My only issue is that you have to finish the main game before getting to use the alternate skins, unlike the other games.
