i just beat persona 1, it was pretty good for what it is. now i'm finally not a larper who's only played 3, 4 and 5 anymore. looking forward to playing the 2 duology, might do that before 4 revival comes out.

next i want to play some GTA, that recent repack of III, Vice City and San Andreas gives me the perfect excuse to finally try and finish those. i've only ever managed to finish gta v before.

Pokemon Emerald and FFXV and FFX for me.
Next are FFVIII and FFX-2. I'm on disc 3 of FFVIII so I'm close, and I might restart my Soul Silver save from 14 years ago. I'd like to pal park most of my mons up to Soul Silver and get like all the starters and stuff.

>>744631632
asking earnestly, is this shit worth playing? im a fellow 3/4 poser who's been interested in the early games but i have little patience for bad jrpg combat
>>
>>744639514
it's clearly a more old style of JRPG, but i didn't hate it. it's fine once you get used to it. the bits that i found a little annoying about it were the experience system which favors the party members that actually kill demons (which leads to certain members having a hard time catching up) and the distance system which means that depending on your formation certain enemies will only be able to get hit by half your party. it's kinda janky, but i think it's worth playing. i quite liked the story, and the game is pretty short. only took me like 25 hours.
>>
>>744639647
also to be honest, once you get a persona that can learn megido/megidola, you can effectively beat 95% of the random encounters in like 10 seconds anyways. i used gozu-tennoh for that.

Typical fucking tendie. No variety and the exact same game over and over. You are part of the reason why creativity in gaming is dying.

There are some fighting games and MMOs (pic related) that I have played this year, but I don't generally count those as they aren't really beatable.

Couple of years ago, I decided that I would start reducing the size of my backlog. I had been buying more games than I would manage to play in a year, so my backlog grew.
As long as I reduce the size of my backlog about 3 games a year, it "runs out" when I die.
I think this is the perfect and most manageable goal to have. You are not blocking yourself from buying new games, you can still play what you want and buy what you want. You just have to make sure the overall size reduces each year.
>>
>>744642076
Also, I think "defeating" or finishing your backlog is fucking stupid. Why would you want to have nothing to play?
>>
I stopped having a "backlog" a long time ago.
Now I have games that I kinda want to play, play them when I feel like playing them, and if I don't enjoy them a few hours in I just drop them.
You should do the same.

>why have a backlog of games you wanna play? i just play what i feel like playing bro.
this is how you end up playing the same live service "comfort game" for 6000 hours of your life.
>>
>>744623335
why would i want to complete my "backlog"
backlog just means the games i want to play, there are a lot of them and if i completed it there wouldnt be anything left to play
>>
I don't have a backlog because I actually like games instead of being a "hardcore gamer nerd xD" poser.
>>
>>744642649
This. These people are slaves to motivation. They ask their brain if now is the time to play what they want, and it tells them "No".

>>744623335
If a game failed to capture your interest after 2-3 hours, dump it. Life is too short to force yourself to play them.
>>
>>744644516
Bullshit. Most of the games (or other pieces of work) that I love are something that fully realize themselves only at the end. I want to see the end because that's where my judgement of the work is finalized.
Finding even 1 such gem, that really speaks to me, is worth the 9 that didn't really do it for me but I spent dozens or hundreds of hours on.

Because if it wasn't, the list of games I love wouldn't be as long. And that would be a waste.

The idea that you should clear as many games as possible is retarded
Being miserable beating 100 games is not better than having fun playing 20 games you really enjoy
