- Everyone has a list of games that they want to play sometime in their lives. But the problem is that most of us will never be able to complete them, and here's the reasons why.

This is just 10 mins of saying "they take too long to finish and we dont have the free time we had in middle-school"
I mean that is why most people have one so it makes sense
Thanks, Dio.
I've done this with games, and now i do it with books lol
It’s impossible because there’s games like Fallout 3 that I love to play again and again.
Fr I have 1000 hours on rdr2 💀
I downloaded fallout 3 after beating 4 but I just can’t get into it even though I really want to because of the show
Whenever I try to tackle my backlog, League of Legends always finds a way to pull me back.
Sometimes i look at my steam library and just get overwhelmed with all the games i think i should play, and end up doing something else or go back to an online game i already have 100s of hours in
You really hit home when talking about games like, The Witcher 3, or persona, or the Yakuza Series. I have recently dropped all of my live service games and returned to single player and co-op adventures and dedicated to getting through my backlog as well. I only reply classics with my kids anymore as they experience some of my favorite games for the first time I can get a taste of what it was like one more time and share in special games with them from my childhood and special pieces of art and stories that changed me as a person through amazing video games like DKC2, or The legend of Zelda series, jet set radio, FFX, and so many more. I have been getting through the entire Yakuza series this year and I have played from 0 all the way up to Like a Dragon, and infinite wealth is next up. After finishing Yakuza I plan on experiencing persona 3, 4 and 5 for the first time back to back. And then I am going to take on the kingdom hearts complete collection with my kids as one of my only exceptions to replaying a game as I have not played the modern release and my kids have never played the KH series that means so much to me.
Been working on mine for the past 7 months - completed 21(100% achievements) games so far - Still have a lot to go - It's easy when you can narrow down the games you want to buy - as opposed to games that are popular at that time. That way instead of buying like 10-15 games a year - you can narrow that down to maybe 3 or 4 - there being 4 quarters in a year you can just play those "new" games in one of those quarters while working on your backlog during the year.
If your playing a game that never ends like LoL then I wouldn't even worry about your backlog - Put in a few hours here and there and yeah head back to your main game - it would probably be beneficial if you just focused on games with less hours like small indie games that you can beat in a day or two - like for example Steam world dig., metal slug, etc. That way your not worried about finishing a game that takes 2-300 hours to complete.
If their are games on your backlog from a Long time ago, and you can't get a refund from it - just remove it from your steam profile - I myself had almost 1000 games on steam I mostly got from bundles - and I just cut my losses - I knew I never was going to complete them, I got them dirt cheap anyways - and when I got rid of all of them, it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
Find out the person you are and make discussions based upon that - Because everything shiny always turns grey - and you know this because you have a backlog.
Well done! 21 games is a lot, even more if you are achievement hunting :D
I agree with you, picking out what makes sense for you and allow yourself to let go of games, is really the way to go.
I mainly play switch, so my focus is to complete the games I get for that system. It can be really hard to except that a game is not for you and to let it go, but it is really a part of getting through the backlog.
@@Summer_and_Rain Well I have been slowing down lately - I've only completed 1 game in the past week - I am going through it as much as I can - and one could argue that I'm not really enjoying thise games - however whenever my backlog is complete, I can just play it casually when I feel like.
I also removed a few more games recently another 15-20, and also I'm mostly focusing on achievement games - as the ones without achievements, I've already beaten on other systems, or I'll play them after I get through the hurtle.
What I've learnt from this, is 300 games can last you the rest of your life if they are games you really enjoy - after 100%ing some of those games - I really didn't want to stop playing thise games, but I had to force myself to move onto the next.
@@Summer_and_Rain to put a final note on this - by the end of this year I will have my games fully narrowed down to a certain amount/group - while some of those games I kept during my first purge - I have never even thought about them since - and while looking at my library recently they could actually be up on the chopping block.
Next year I have an entire series to go through, and I know it will take that long to do, and I want next year to be my final year at doing this on this scale - thus I shoukd be where I want to be at the end of next year.
@@fafnirchaos0711 I have also noticed that I keep going back to the same few games to play. I am also working on only having those games when I am done :) cheers to us for our goal of curating our games :D and for the time where we can play only the ones we enjoy without the guilt ;)
Yes! To all of this! I love them all, my games, and I want to complete them all, but it's just too much! Such a perfect description. Subbed. 👍
I think for me it's a mixture of things, lack of time or no energy as I'm getting older and my attention span is shot. But also how games come out unfinished or broken, Dragons Dogma 2 for instance still has performance issues, and even though my PC can more than run it the problems make for a bad experience trying to play it, so I stopped, and at this point I may not go back to it cause there might be something else that came out recently that I wanna play more.
That’s why I stopped buying new games, gotta finish what I have if I want more
I used to buy many games for cheap, but as I got older, I started buying less games with a higher price, because now I know what games I prefer playing. Many games I have with low hours, I'm just not going to have fun with them. Some I will be in pain to force myself to play. I'd rather cut the loss and call it a waste of money and not touch a game I know I won't enjoy.
I bought total war 3 played it for 15 MINUTES and never again, with a job a wife and a 1 year old I just can't.
i've stopped buying new games now. Someday, i will finish baldur's gate too , someday :/
Ahhh yes playing Pokemon emerald on the game boy color. I remember that
😂
No, I will finish the games on my backlog, ignore the online games/components and complete as many achievements as is possible in a given time frame
If only there could be a day in the week called Gameday 😂
Backlog exists because of the delusional companies like Ubisoft. Every game company thinks like our game should last at least 60 hours. They fill the game with boring stuff so gaming becomes a chore for players. At least it does to me. I mean I look at some newish said to be great games, like FFVII Rebirth, Baldurs Gate 3, Dragons Dogma 2 and all I see is 80-90 hours of commitment and worst part isn't the length at all. Long length means if you take breaks time to time because of your responsibilities, you will get detached from what's going on and naturally you won't want to continue the game. Game length should be reduced. I want to have fun, not add another responsibility to my miserable life
Why I will start my gaming backlog, it's not impossible
I agree, I have like a hundred games on steam ..... never gonna happen. I don;;t have the time with work and life
All right I'll play forbidden West please stop nagging me😂
Im being called out lmao
Get exposed
I pirate --- so lots of unfinished games as i always look for gems worth buying.
lol what is this myth of "no one has time". That's just cope. The reality is everyone has has time they just found newer things to do.
Most people have a life
True. If I gave up a bit more of my computer time, I would have more time to do something else, like gaming :)
@@jonahhammond2438 if you don't have time to do what you want then you don't have a life
Is it me or are games just not as addictive as they used to be?
Modern games just don't hit the same as they used to
@@Atmux I politely disagree.
It's not just you, but it's definitely not everyone. From like 2015-2019 I was convinced that games weren't good anymore and I missed so many of my favorite games of all time because of that. Then during lockdown I fell in love with games again and finally got around to playing Red Dead Redemption 2, Persona 5, Breath of the Wild, Uncharted 4, Mario Odyssey, the Witcher 3, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn & many more. I was shocked how many amazing games came out while I was taking my mental break from gaming. We all go through cycles and that's okay.
