"i'm done" just means that i really cannot play the game anymore to the point where i'd actually go insane if i continue.
I was wondering about the "I'm done" and I love it. When you're satisfied with the game and don't feel like you need to play any more.
Something I'm starting to realize too. Just because I start a game doesn't mean I need to play it to the credits as soon as possible. I'm the only one fixated on my trophy list or hours played.
So, I actually do need to play to the credits ASAP for two reasons. First, coming back to a game is intimidating. So if I put a game down, I end up deliberating between restarting and trying to relearn the entire game from the last checkpoint. Usually I end up playing something else.
Second, I meander a lot. So even games I'm actively playing I try to stick to the plot so I don't burn out playing side stuff. (It's not always even side content. Sometimes it's just dicking around.)
Feel that- source: I'm a Like A Dragon fan.
But another reason I tend to binge each game is lack of storage space and rising file sizes. Don't want to download 100 GB again so better finish it immediately.
i forgot to mention because i have a smooth brain but these are games i have already bought but never played.
Zelda 3 == ALttP?
yep. i'll be playing the pc port on my steamdeck.
Why not use backloggd?
i had never heard about this service till you mentioned it. it looks neat. i think i'll continue using the spreadsheet method since i have it already. however once i finish the rest of these games i'll take another look at it. you never know i might have picked up another bunch of games during a future steam sale
I think it's neat too I use the movies version more. Enjoy your games!
tfw my backlog is 160 games on steam alone.
Thats with a year of chipping away. It used to be worse lmao
I'd recommend pushing through on Undertale. I have 19 hours played and I did all runs/endings. The first playthrough is probably under 6 hours total. One of the most memorable games I've ever played.
Yeah I plan on finishing undertale after I finish doom since I'm probably much closer to finishing that than I am undertale
Thats a long list
THAT's a long list? I have more unplayed titles INSTALLED than this whole spreadsheet. I once attempted to create a system to organize my backlog but just gave up due to volume. I think I may have a game hoarding problem.
everyone's circumstances are different. to them it might be a long list but to you it might be short. one thing is for certain tho is they take a lot of hours to complete. anyway if you want help starting i'd suggest picking a handful of games from your library like between 5 to 10 and just play through them one by one. putting my phone on the other side of the room helped since sometimes i would just pick it up and do nothing of any value on it. also having some self dicipline and not opening your browser helps as well. at the end of the day it's up to you how you want to tackle it (if you even want to tackle it at all) it's not even really a big problem to have.
Wow. The putting the phone far away spoke to me.
Between work stress and family, sometimes it feels much easier to just pick up the phone and start browsing Lemmy (or LinkedIn lol)
I’ll have to try putting the phone away more deliberately.
Happy gaming!
Same, it's not my fault Steam sales make me feel like I'd be losing money if I didn't buy this game right now.
Between epics free games and the games you get from ps/xbox for being subscribers its really not that large of a list.
Just between those 3 you would have a library of about 120 games. 1-2 a week for epic and 3 a month for each ps and Xbox.
yes. there are 35 items in the list but that excludes multigames like L4D 1/2 and LEGO batman 1/2/3 etc
Based on the games in your list, you should check out Horizon: zero dawn and the sequel, Forbidden West. They’re great.
yeah a friend of mine let me borrow from his steam library a while ago and i tried zero dawn. at the time i fell into the trap of playing a game once and never again. i'll add the game to the backlog of my backlog so i'll get around to it after i complete the list here.
It was on sale for 12 wing wangs last week. May still be on sale… check it if you want
That's a small backlog. Do you have more not listed?
I have a bunch categorized by whether or not I want to do the achievements or not before considering it done, and also if multiple playthroughs are planned or not and why.
I'm also mentally deranged...
For MGSV if you haven't cheated yet I suggest it just for the money at least. Download a cheat table and run cheat engine. I don't like the base building parts of games so I just blew through that by giving myself all the money.
That way I can just do the mission parts of the game without caring what is going on at mother base.
Congrats on making it to the credits on Nier! What did you think of the game?
It almost made me cry lol. Only 3 games have made me that emotional: omori, Zelda totk, and now nier. What an amazing experience it was tho.
Right there with you, the thing at the end really got me. I’ve been getting the itch to do another run, the combat was just so much fun imo
Yeah I agree. I'll probably revisit it in a year or two so its fresh. I had my save data deleted after I finished the game because I really wanted to see if they were bluffing at the end (they were not) lmao.
I would have been disappointed if they were bluffing. The consequence is what gives the decision weight
Yeah you're right. Plus it now gives me an excuse to go back to 100% it.
What is Zelda 3?
Should be the SNES one, "A Link to the Past"
Yes that is correct
