Current Backlog? (2019 Edition)

Big Boss · January 10, 2019, 08:36:33 AM

It's a new year, which comes with a whole new list of games to start, play and probably never finish. I feel like the list just grows bigger and bigger all the time, festering like an angry wart that just doesn't want to pop. I'm going to try and clear out as much of it as I can this year, though I have no clue how well that's going to turn out. Here's mine, I've separated it into two sections. parts.

IN PROGRESS
~~Bayonetta~~ Finished 10/01/19
Octopath Traveler
The Last of Us
Yakuza Kiwami
Gravity Rush
Jak trilogy (PS4)
Crash N-Sane Trilogy
Pokemon Let's Go Eevee
Transformers Fall of Cybertron

YET TO START
Okami
Bayonetta 2
The entire Kingdom Hearts series
Uncharted 4

I think it's doable, but I have a bad habit of flip flopping between games and abandoning others...

What's yours?

velox · January 10, 2019, 09:05:29 AM

Currently playing Dark Souls II and Rayman Origins, thinking of buying either Dead Cells or Enter the Dungeon the next time there's a sale. I have a bunch of games I've never touched in my steam library though (the Bioshock series for example) so I might just try one of those.

Ásgeirr · January 10, 2019, 09:17:11 AM

DMC 3, Half-Life 2: MMod and Drakengard 1 in progress.

I am also terrible at starting and finishing games, fired up DMC3 first which went on hold for Drakengard which went on hold for HL2. I hate this.

Oh and i guess i have a Dark Souls 3 sorcerer randomizer playthrough on hold as well. I want to start Daughters of Ash for Dark Souls 1 but i cant get it to work.

Mine is pretty monstrous to the point where prattling off a complete list would be less productive than just getting a few of them done, so I'll just mention a few things that I've been meaning to finish lately.

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (leading up to Persona 5, main thing on the plate)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (World of Light, which I don't enjoy at all, so that's gonna be a while)
Fallout 1 & 2

And I wanna beat every NES game put out for the NSO service, as well:

River City Ransom
Solomon's Key (with or without suspend points)
Pro Wrestling (beat Great Puma)
Tecmo Bowl (beat every team with the Raiders)
Ice Hockey (win a game)
Ghosts'n Goblins (with or without suspend points)
TwinBee
Mighty Bomb Jack
Ice Climber (all mountains, probably never gonna happen)
Soccer (win a game)
Ninja Gaiden
Adventures of Lolo

Dietrich Six · January 23, 2019, 06:57:10 AM

It's like a 200 game list, I think a have ADD.

Most are Indies that looked interesting that I haven't even begun playing, some are dlc that I haven't run through yet.

Currently playing The Witcher 3 dlcs, rainbow six siege, dark souls 3 and dlcs, and I jump on overwatch with my buddy every now and again.

big dog · January 23, 2019, 07:07:19 AM

Need to finish The Witcher 3, haven't played that in a while.
In the process of 100%ing Red Dead Redemption 2, I'm somewhere around 93% currently.
Also getting through Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. Got maximum completion on Spyro 1 and 2, about 15% through 3.

Ásgeirr · January 23, 2019, 08:36:17 AM

i still have to play stormblood for FFXIV too fuck and thats going to take me in for a month at least

Ian · January 23, 2019, 12:18:58 PM

Did you get the expansion already? 4.55 is in March so it’ll be easy to catch up when you hit 70.

Got Enter the Gungeon (also just noticed I spelled it wrong here, derp) in the Lunar Sale on Steam. Have about six hours in it so far, really fun game.

Okay, this is a 3/5 game. With four disks, I thought it would be longer. The most tedious part was evidence gathering the warehouse. Everything else went pretty smooth. If you like X-files and can find a copy cheap, check it out.

Now onto this bad boy:

Aether · March 20, 2019, 07:39:18 PM

I had bought a few games I never played or finished like Prey, Doom, Shadow of Mordor, among others, but I don't really plan on playing through or finishing them any time soon. I haven't been as into gaming as I used to be the past few years.

MarKhan · March 21, 2019, 08:28:55 AM

Finished Coffee Crawl, closed the gate.

Spoiler

Apparently I'm also the first person to beat this game.

Spoiler

Really proud of myself.

But I'm not done yet.

Now onto this bad boy:

Well this one was a mixed bag. Overall another 3/5 game. It would have scored higher if it wasn't for the controls. They are so infuriating. I can't count the number of times I was trying to just enter the door but instead the character getting stuck on geometry or walking into a wall beside the door and automatically turning perpendicular to the door I am trying to enter. This made the timed sections such a frustrating experience.
Another issue is the occasional pixel hunting you have to do. There would be times where your character would not interact with a quest item unless you were standing just in the right spot. Its annoying in regular play, but then when you have a timer. Just ugh. Worse - sometimes you would try to interact with one item and he would either interact with something else or start talking to a nearby NPC.
The positives are a good story, graphics and sound. When the gameplay is not being ass - its quite enjoyable. There are only a few (I counted two) spots where you can screw yourself and not be able to proceed. I strongly suggest you have at least two active saves at all times.

Now onto:

A Cheese Potato · March 28, 2019, 07:47:39 PM

I really gotta finish bloodborne, didn't get too far in it so I'll probably just start it over.
I still need to go back and finish that mad max game that game out a few years ago, I got sidetracked by fallout 4 and never picked it up again despite enjoying it.

Right now I'm enjoying the 2016 hitman game for my stealth fix since assassin's creed doesn't even try to pretend to have a stealth element anymore. It's a lot of fun trying to 100% with all the different kill options, I'll definitely pick up the sequel once I finish it.
