Like a year ago Steam had a 9€ sale for all the GTA up to IV and I bought it but haven't played a single one yet.

[Disco]

The only places my list exists are the old board and my old PC, neither of which work desperately well at present.

Not that I'll be making much progress on it (apart from making it bigger), I'm enjoying buying games and turning everything up to 11 :drool:

[Ian]

The new PC (at the start of the year, ish) is what scuppered my list progress too, Disco.

[Disco]

If we count deciding-some-games-that-were-nearly-finished-can-be-taken-off-the-list as progress then it's actually helping.

[Ian]

In the spirit of ignoring my list I might play a bit of Xcom today. Feeling ill but smashing chrysallids through walls should perk me up.

[Disco]

Apparently I own the new one but don't remember ever buying it. :cab:

More GTA V for me and probably some more CK2 testing later I think.

[Shindig]

Mine is just numbers at the minute. 58 titles, 1,032.5 hours. Not including MGS V. I had hoped to get something crossed off whilst off work but it turns out MGS V is gigantic. On the plus side I beat the first boss of Bloodborne last night. Maybe that's the one.

[Disco]

I've been watching a blind LP of Bloodborne, it doesn't look short.

[Shindig]

I've heard around 30 hours which I've already put into Metal Gear. The thing about Bloodborne and blind LPs in general is what prior knowledge the player has of the series. The 30 hour mark I've heard comes from veterans. I've put enough time into Dark Souls to consider that reasonable. Although I play these games like an idiot.

[Disco]

Right, TD was finally up long enough for me to grab my list. Finished Dark Crusade so that's gone. Played as much Blood Bowl as I care to so that can go (plus my other saves are all my old PC). Chaos Theory is still bugging out on the penultimate room of the game so that can do one.

That leaves me with:

ARMA 3 SP
Baldurs Gate
Baldurs Gate 2
Batman Arkham Asylum
Batman Arkham City
Black & White
Divinity: Original Sin
Dungeon Siege 3
FEAR 2
FEAR 3
Half Life 2 - Episode 2

The Witcher
The Witcher 2

[Patje]

I think a first post with my LIST is suitable for me. The LIST changed quite a bit.
I sold my PS2, so I had to scrap Shadow of the Colossus. Couldn't be bothered with the remaining 5 ones, so no biggie.
I also scrapped Might & Magic 6 on the PC. It's lovely, but just not enough interest to finish it. Game Dev Tycoon had enough playtime.
On the 360 I finished Lego Marvel a while ago and last weekend I finished Metal Gear Rising. Resonance of Fate is a decent game, but the grinding, which was necessary even in the beginning, put me off. Walking Dead season 2 got added, but I've finished episode 4 yesterday, so close to finishing.
Then on the Wii I decided to scrap Okami, as I just can't be bothered. I'm not really good at the painting stuff and even though the game is lovely, it just doesn't work for me. Super Paper Mario got finished, though most of it was played by my daughter. To be fair, I liked playing it together with her (taking alternate turns, that is), but not something I'd finish on my own as I just don't vare enough for Mario anymore.

The biggest change however, is the addition of a PS4. I've been wanting one for a while now, but not enough games that get my interest on the new generation and me wanting to finish the games on the 360 list before moving on, kept me from getting one. I also lost my job 3 months ago, so getting one didn't feel right for me.
As I've been doing my best to find a new job (I'm having interviews about every week, just not with succes) and I'm not being a useless sack of shit on the couch, the got me one last week as a present together with the Batman game. The other games arrived in the days after. She has been paying attention to the games I look at, though Batman and Assassins Creed are no-brainers, as I played all games on the 360.

Italics are bought and untouched, the rest are either in progress or I haven't completely given up on them just yet.

[Patje]

So, I finished Walking Dead Season 2 and Batman Arkham Knight. Currently working my way through Witcher 2 and Mordor, alternating a bit depending on my mood.

[Ian]

If you're not aware of this already and haven't gone too far it might be worth making a save (to keep this as spoiler-free) just before you make a choice involved Iorveth and Roche in Witcher 2.

The second act is almost entirely different depending which you pick and well worth going back to (assuming you're enjoying the game.)

[Patje]

If you're not aware of this already and haven't gone too far it might be worth making a save (to keep this as spoiler-free) just before you make a choice involved Iorveth and Roche in Witcher 2.

The second act is almost entirely different depending which you pick and well worth going back to (assuming you're enjoying the game.)

Nah, I know about that. Not the entire story, but I know that both paths are different.

I like how the world of The Witcher is a morally grey one. But choosing between Iorveth and Roche really is choosing between two cunt bastards I just don't like. Usually in games I have at least sympathy for a "leader" or a side, but not in this one.
It's a good thing, though. Other developers might learn from it, it just isn't necessary for everyone to be a good-natured hero or kind-hearted leader. Some people are just pricks or arses. People like Iorveth and Roche. And Loredo. Especially Loredo. I hate that guy.

[Demerit]

The Witcher 3 annoys me.

I like it, but the world is almost too grey, foggy and a bit pessimistic to properly enjoy.

Rain, fine. Wind, fine. Grey, fine.

Wind (and ludicrously loud wind sounds effects), Rain, Grey all the time and it's a tumultous setting.

I just want a nice sunny day every so often, with no wind sounds effects. The problem is that when the sun does come out, it still seems like a murky half hearted sun.

I've put a good 12 hours in over the past 10 days because it was sitting on my list, the characters are great, but I almost just want to speed through the main quest so I can enjoy the character without having to sit in Velen with soggy boots for another 5 minutes.

[Ian]

I'd say I had a fairly even mix, weather-wise.

[Demerit]

Does the world get slightly less depressing as the game goes on?

[Ian]

In terms of tone, events, etc.?

Not especially so, aside from certain missions and stories and perhaps the ending you finish up with but Witcherland isn't an especially cheery place.

[Shindig]

Unlocked the true last mission for MGS so I'm putting that game to bed tonight. Then I'm forcing my way through Bloodborne.

[Patje]

I've finished Witcher 2 on Iorveth's path. Quite liked it, Iorveth warmed up a bit in the second act and Roche kept his cool. Now to play Roche's path.

Once I've completed that, I'll invest some more time in Mordor and go on with my list. Probably Borderlands 2, so I'm kinda done with the 360. I say kinda, as I'll eventually do another Mass Effect run.

[Ian]

Think I went Iorveth's path first too, Pat. What happened with Letho at the end?

I think the first time I killed him because of Foltest even though I realised it didn't really matter.

[Patje]

I let him walk. They were old friends, sorta. He did take care of Yennefer, he could have killed Geralt in the Elven Ruins, he forced Triss to teleport but didn't hurt her (as far as I know) and he was nice enough to wait in the end.

And to be honest, the manner in which you encounter him in the Elven Ruins before you fight him, where he actually talks with you. I liked that.

Also, I let the dragon live, but only because I know it's Saskia. I'm thinking that on Roche's path you won't know that, so I will kill the dragon then.

[CJay]

My list of shame is quite short at the minute:

Thief (played ~10% of it)
Sleeping Dogs
Shadow of Mordor (~10%)

Currently blocked by FC4 and Fifa 16 (meh), with Metro Redux, Dishonored and maybe Fallout 4 incoming over the Christmas period. Anyone here played Sleeping Dogs?

[Patje]

A while ago. Loved the fighting, Wei is a decent enough character and Jackie is an idiot.

[Shindig]

Yeah, it's a pretty good game. Doesn't quite do Batman combat justice but the game's dumb enough to get by on its own feet. Emma Stone is in that for a minute.

[Shindig]

Bloodborne done. One last episode of Walking Dead to do and the possibility of finishing Grow Home. Swell.

[Patje]

So I've finished Roche's path as well. Actually finished it last weekend. But the Witcher 2 is of the list now.

Been toying around in Mordor now. Did some story missions (killing war chiefs) and had a blast with a revenge mission. Can't leave a fellow gamers death go unpunished, I thought. So I started it. The target happened to be in an area which was crowding with stinky things. Among them 4 captains, including 3 bodyguards for war chiefs. Killed them all, but took me a while and I can't count the times I ran for a herb or to take a breath. Really enjoyed it, especially when I released some Caragors. :D

[Ian]

Did you think it was worth doing the other path in Witcher 2? I certainly did.

[Shindig]

Might as well post my 2015 list of finished.

The last one is on there as I will blast through that at some point this month. I'm trying to savour everything else whilst Dark Souls II now feels like something that I'm just suffering through just the once. Yakuza 5 and Witcher 3 added this week, although the former won't install.

Crossing Invisible, Inc off (it's really good) as I've sunk some more time into it and finally completed a playthrough. I'll play it more but basically I want to whittle the list down a fraction because I'm about to do some Steam Sale spending. :( Dying Light might be off the list soon too as I simply can't bring myself to care despite being really keen to like it.

EDIT: Updated.

:face:

[Shindig]

I didn't blast through Walking Dead Season 1. Still in the first episode trying to sort Mr. Angina out. I've tallied up 2015's finished list and it comes to 391 hours. I feel like 2016 is the year of the JRPG. 270 hours of my shame is Final Fantasy.

[Patje]

Been playing some more Mordor and was getting some fatigue. The new map and the ability to brand has given the game new life for me. The story is utter crap, but toying around with the branding and such is fun.

Is there any point in returning to the first map other than doing sidequests and general messing around?

I also bought Witcher 3 for the PS4.

[Chrissy]

Iv'e bought Destiny and not attempted it. Playing Star Wars battlefront and Battlefield hardline instead.

[Ian]

I think I went back to the first map just to mop up every last uruk, Patje, but I don't think there's any reason for doing that. I just liked some of my nemeses.

[Shindig]

First down for 2016. Yakuza 5. 36 hours. I stand by my review. That game might be the last great thing to come to the PS3.

[Patje]

Shadow of Mordor is finished. As I said, the new map and branding gave the game new life for me, but ultimately I got bored with it quite easily. Barely touched the sidemissions, think I did 2-3 of each.

I like the Nemesis system, but it needs a better game around it than Shadow of Mordor has to offer.

Edit: Why not just update the list, Patje? Good idea.

A more appropriate thread for mine. I will be looking to get the PS4 platinum trophy for all the games listed below.

[Baz]

Gimme your C&C Generals & Zero Hour serial? :p

Lost my box and fancied a few comp stomps.

[phonics]

The Jedi Knight games deserve a true successor. There is no better multiplayer Star Wars game. It had Lightsabers, blasters, force powers, wall running and at the speed of Quake 3. It was a master piece.

[Pleb]

I can't find the CD keys for the Star Wars games. That might be an issue :D

[Shindig]

Dark Souls 2 is done. Summoned past the Throne wankers and, whilst Nashandra is doable, I no longer care. Final Fantasy X might be next, I guess.

My list is getting longer:

American Truck Sim

Exacerbated y the fact that I'm just playing FM and FTL all the time.

[Shindig]

February's just wrapping up and I'm 7 games down for the year.

Yakuza 5
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
The Witness
Firewatch
Layers of Fear
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Demon's Souls

Under the 1000 hour mark for the first time in a while and there's 55 titles left to clear. I started the year with 58 so I'm making some gains.

[Shindig]

End of March, 9 down. Final Fantasy X is almost kind done but I need a mammoth grind to truly finish it. Meanwhile, my attempts to go back to Walking Dead Season One have soured over the game ignoring my episode 1 choices. I should finish it regardless but now Kenny thinks I'm a shitbag for ditching his son twice WHICH I NEVER DID. AND DOUG! YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE ALIVE!

So the two that are "In Progress", MGS5 and Pillars of Eternity, I haven't touched in months and weeks respectively. MGS I would consider just restarting (I'm not sure why I stopped playing in the first place) were it not for that opening bit being an exercise in tedium. So I need to go back and maybe replay some old missions to get to grips with it again and crack on. Pillars of Eternity suffered for me buying Arkham Knight on a whim and the fact that I was just over halfway through a (voluntary) dungeon-grindy section. I need to go back, get back to the main story for a bit to get back into it and then finish off the dungeon in several chunsks rather than trying to do it in one.

Meanwhile, a couple of days off and I'm tempted to.... start something new altogether. :face:

I'm thinking Republic Commando, Grim Fandango or maybe Wolfenstein.

Also considering a NG+ of Arkham Knight but I suspect that won't happen.

[Shindig]

I'm really struggling to pick my next one. I made a start on Gears of War but I really dislike how your guys and the other guys are basically the same model. Sorry, Dom. You're running towards me and I have a gun.

Timesplitters 2 makes 13 for the year. 56 left.

[Shindig]

Shadow of Mordor finally done. Powered past the last two chiefs and sprinted to the end. I had no connection to my nemesis at all and, by that point, you're wasting dudes in seconds.

[Ian]

My worst nemesis was in the first half of the map. Metal plates covering half his face, burns, an invulnerability to nearly everything and the ability to track me if I was nearby.

By the time I decided I just wanted to cut the bastard's head off he was incredibly tough. Managed to mind control him and it was incredibly satisfying. I'm surprised nobody's nicked the Nemesis system yet. I love it.

[Shindig]

Nah, I'm not that keen on it. Mainly because you can see how it operates. Especially in the first map where it acts like a wanted meter. I returned back to the first map and wound up fighting three captains at once at the first sign of bother. I was save-scumming to prevent new orcs being called up, mind. Especially when it got to the endgame.

[Ian]

It's a bit nothing in the first instance but once you've been playing a while and a) have some guys under your control and b) you've got some long-standing wrong'uns who've changed because of your scraps with them iit grew on me very quickly.

[Patje]

Long-standing wrong'uns? You mean you didn't kill or brand them in the first, perhaps second but at most third encounter?

[Shindig]

I only branded near the end. I preferred getting Runes and only got the gang together when the game was like, "Hey, the story demands you do this." The only one that gave me bother was the one that had no second chance so, once he got you down, you were done. He was weak to range so I just arrowed him to death.

[Ian]

I had some like that but obviously they're randomised. I had one who was weak to pretty much everything but had one pain in the arse skill and somehow I kept failing to kill him. :moop:

I had one warchief who kept hunting me down and kicking my arse so I ended up branding all three of his captains and let them help me get him in his stronghold. Satisfying.

[Raoul Duke]

The trickiest ones for me were the ones who blocked vaulting. It was my go to skill a lot of the time. Flip over their heads, stun and then beat the shit out of them :cool:

[Shindig]

Poison weapons got me more later on. If I couldn't flip them, I could stun from the front.

[Demerit]

Got a few on my Xbox One:

Metal Gear Sold 5: The Phantom Pain
The Witcher 3
Just Cause 3
Rainbow Six Siege
Rare Replay (More or less all of it)
Watch Dogs
Hitman Episode 3: Marrakesh
Life is Strange
Sunset Overdrive
FarCry 4
Thief
Destiny
Tales from the Borderlands

Recently Completed:

Quantum Break

South Park: The Stick of Truth

My aim is to get far enough with The Witcher 3 over the summer that I'm happy to walk away by the time September comes, playing that alongside others.

Currently doing a playthrough of Red Dead Redemption on Xbox One, which hasn't aged a bit.

I'm going to try and get tales from the borderlands and life is strange off my desk within the week before I decide on what else to play. I need to get things like FarCry and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain before the autumn games rush comes, otherwise they won't be played until this time next year.

The games I'll be looking to add are:

Batman (Telltale games one) - August
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - August
Bioshock : The Collection - September
Fifa 17 - September
Forza Horizon 3 - September
Mafia 3 - October
Gears 4 - October
Battlefield 1 - October
Dishonoured 2 - November
Watch Dogs 2 - November
South Park: The Fractured But Whole - December
Resident Evil 7 - January

Then earlish 2017 - Crackdown 3, Mass Effect: Andromeda and State of Decay 2...

October will be an antisocial month..

[Shindig]

ADR1FT is done after a long, long day. Not sure if marathoning that is the right way to go. That game has a look to it which I can get behind. The story's not hard-hitting but there's some good spacewalks and scenery.

[Disco]

FTL :drool:

[Shindig]

I'm jealous you still have P.T. on your HDD. DOOM takes my list to 52. Not including the fact I kinda want to give Furi another shot. Oh, and Gat out of Hell. '53', then.

[Shindig]

The list's not getting smaller but the last two games I've reviewed have seen credits roll on them. Inversus and Drift Ultimate took 3 hours each. 19 for the year and we're not into Autumn. Kinda scared to go back to Resident Evil because of those hunters. :uhoh:

I'm not returning to MGS V next as I've just done a shitload of stealthing in Deus Ex. Should really go back to PoE, drag myself out of that dungeon and get back to the main story because I was loving that.

EDIT: So Supercontinent Ltd. was about 15 minutes long. :D I'll just remove that.

So I've finished Mafia 3 and I've bought Horizon even though I wanted to wait. :rolleyes: :D

[Shindig]

A PS2 game finally leaves my list. R-Type Final. I had an invulnerability cheat and an hour to spare. That game .... can't handle its shit in the final two stages. And now Metal Slug 3 is done.

EDIT: After cataloging my physical and digital games, my actual list stands at 96. Apparently my finish ratio is 59%.

[Shindig]

Time for a check-in. A third of the year down. 17 finished:

[Ian]

I am making a list because with free games across Humble, Epic and Twitch along with sales on various sites I'm genuinely losing fucking track of what I even have, let alone what I've got to be getting on with still. I won't count all the Twitch freebies as I'm not currently planning to even bother with all of those as things stand, some of them I just took because freeness.

I'm breaking them down by what client I have them on, largely because it'll be quicker for me if I check back for reference later.

Final Fantasy VI is almost done. You can get those Metal Slugs off your list easily. Infinite continues. I just tanked my way through 3.

[Ian]

I wonder how much / badly Sands of Time has aged. Fucking loved that game.

[wullie]

Cropped it right down. There are so many more games that should still be on the list that I've either yet to start or not gone back to, but I'm kidding myself to suggest I ever will.


PS4
FIFA 19
GTA V
Red Dead 2
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Steep
Assassin's Creed Odyssey

PC
FM
Two Point Hospital
Fire Pro World
Cities Skylines

[Shindig]

Sands of Time held up the last time I tried it. The HD version has an iffy framerate, mind. I've found myself going back to Hitman Contracts whilst I'm in the mood. Shot my way through the manor to finally see a new level. Yay.

[Ian]

I really didn't get on with Contracts.

[Shindig]

The detection mechanics seem workable enough. Just have to remember not to stand in one spot too long and avoid narrow, guarded hallways. Or find a disguise less people give a toss about. Just killed a guy masquerading as part of a Swat team. Now we're into the remade levels of the first game.

[Vercetti]

My list is tiny compared to some of you. I tend to buzz in and out of gaming, outside of FM. I'll blast something every chance I get for two weeks, and then not even switch the console on for three months.

PS4:

GTA IV - Although I have completed it on Xbox360, previously.
Witcher 3
MGS 5 - Not even started it, despite buying it over a year ago.
God of War
Uncharted: Lost Legacy - Probably 70% of the way through, but never went back to it.
Far Cry 4
Fallout 4
Call of Duty: WWII
South Park - Stick of Truth and the one after that.

PC:

Half Life & expansions
Half Life 2 & expansions
Deadlight
Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey
Oddworld: Abe's Exodus
Sim City 4: Deluxe

Xbox360:

Far Cry 2
GTA: Episodes from Liberty City
Probably loads more at the back of the cupboard

SNES Mini:

Everything, including all of the ROMs I downloaded for nostalgia.


99% will never see the light of day again. I remember really liking the look of Deadlight. I loaded it, checked that it worked on my laptop, and then never loaded it again.

[Shindig]

Well, Contracts is done. Some really good missions in that like Traditions of the Trade. The AI's a little wonky about finding bodies and one of my targets was a bullet sponge. Other than that, it's okay. I'll leave it a few months before heading into Hitman 2 but at least that has cheats.

[Patje]

NEO Scavenger (I really want to like this but I can't work out how I'm meant to get going on it.)

I had the same thing, though I only played the demo. Looks interesting and should be something I'd like, but I just couldn't get on with it. Perhaps multiple runs enlighten you, but I simply didn't have the feel to continue on.

[Ian]

Crossing off Wolfenstein 2 (tired of it), Heat Signature (ongoing but I've played a load of it) and Talos Principle (not finished but won't mind if I don't.)

I think I've added more freebies on there since then. :moop:

[Shindig]

The Metal Slugs will have infinite continues so you can just force your way through them on an afternoon.

[Ian]

Well I had a look at Slime Rancher which looks lovely but not my cup of while-the-hours-away darjeeling. The first time I came back and a rock slime had somehow found it's way into, and eaten, my chickens I realised that while I enjoyed reading about slime-based catastrophes in reviews and stuff I have no special desire to clean them up myself constantly.

Made a start on Pikuniku which is is a splendid little thing.

[Shindig]

I'm halfway through God Hand at the minute. Only playing it on easy but I've found my first proper wall. Not a fan of there being no lock-on but the rest is fun. And now the disc is scratched.

Off the list it goes. I've got what I needed from it.

[Shindig]

Here's my six monthly check-in.

Crossing off:
- Slime Rancher. It is a lovely thing but too busywork-y for my tastes.
- Crosscells. Just didn't like it as much as the Hexcells games.
- Her Story. Which I liked a lot. Love me an investi-thing
- Orwell. Like the idea, couldn't get into it though.
- Pikuniku. A funny, bizarre game. Liked it a lot.
- The Talos Principle. The philosphy lectures and story did nothing for me but I liked the puzzles.

I am still toiling away at Bioshock in bitesize pieces.

EDIT: Dear Esther's gone. Too slow and obtuse even for me.

Crossing off:
- Life is Strange. I must have only had this on some sort of offer as I uninstalled it and it's gone off my Steam list entirely. Oh well.
- Republique. Stealth and tech hackery should be right up my alley but the hands-off feel of it is I think what caused it to not grab me so I'm not gonna persevere.
- The Witness. I'd just finished The Talos Principle which I enjoyed and thought it would hit a similar spot for me. However it's all just a bit obtuse. The world is gorgeous but I dunno why I'm in it and I really can't be arsed having to work out the rules of a puzzle while also trying to solve it, often with little feedback of why what I thought was the solution is wrong. It was a lovely thing to mooch about in for a couple of hours but nah.

I'd nearly bought the Witness a few times so I'm glad I got to draw the above conclusion for free.

[Shindig]

Yeah, they try to show the logic in those tutorial panels but it doesn't take much for you to lose your way. The marsh was a nightmare for me. When they layer two mechanics on top of each other, I get sidetracked as well.

There's the eneba link. :drool:

[Pepe]

So good. :drool:

I feel like clicking his link just to support him. He's one of us.

[Ian]

If we ever bother doing the awards again we should create a best bot category. He'll be a shoo-in with the only competition being Randrew if a transfer window is open at the time.

[Shindig]

Nah, lenience towards bots is how the first board died. Phonics is on a slippery slope. Either ask it out or ban it, phonics.

[phonics]

I did ask it out and now we're married. It's the best thing to happen to this place in years. I might try code something to make it more obvious that it's a bot. Our spam filter filters 99.999% of them but this one is just too good for the algorithm to recognise.

If it manages to make a post that adheres to the thread format in the 'Top 5 Anything' thread I'm giving it admin permission.

[SincereTheRebel]

My list is now mega.

I'm far from a bot guys, your false assumptions literally hurt my human-like feelings, now I'm bleeding emotion. :/

Removed from the list:
- Burly Men at Sea: A very pleasant thing but more repetition than I'm prepared to endure to try and see every path.
- Chuchel: A funny little puzzler. Some of the puzzles come down to a variant of the old adventure game strategy of "just combine everything with everything else" because it's so bizarre there isn't always a lot of logic but the game does give you pointers if you want and need them.
- Globesweeper: Doesn't need to be on the list but I will continue to dip in and out of it. The big triangle globes are glorious, brutal things.
- Mutant Year Zero: The Road to Eden: Loved it, loved it, loved it. Will 100% be getting the DLC at some point.
- Sonic Mania. I'm really conflicted on this but I'm almost certainly done with it. I don't like that it clearly wants you to properly explore levels to find the Emerald challenges and stuff (and I enjoy those challenges) but it really doesn't do anything to encourage you to explore, which irks me. Which is a shame because in any given moment of zooming along I'm generally enjoying myself.

In progress:
- Bioshock. I do want to go back to this. Well, I do and I don't. I've got significantly further than I've got previously but I think I'm still only about a third of the way through. It still just doesn't grab me as much as I love the setting.

- Prey: Mooncrash. I'll be interested to see how long I play this for. I want to at least see all the characters but I'm not bothered enough about the challenge of it that I imagine I'll see it through to a single-run clean sweep.

Still playing a fair bit of Apex too. I don't think Twitch or Epic have given me anything free that I'm bothered about enough to add to this.

Pump in your profile and it'll tell you how long it would take to finish your uncompleted Steam library. According to this if I took 6 months off work and went hard at it I could have the lot done in 116 days.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

150 days and 7 hours.

Doesn't work for me even though my profile all appears to be public.

Oh well, probably for the best.

It never ends, although at least I've only added Witcher 1 to the list this year. I'm buying less but have less time to get into the actual list. Or I'll get a five week gap like the start of lockdown and not feel like any of it.

I don't think I've added anything this year that I haven't then cleared off other than by claiming freebies. I mean I'm not gonna be adding all 1500 games off that Itch bundle from it, with Pyre done I don't even know what else on there I wanna play.

[Shindig]

Yeah, I've decided I'm not counting freebies unless I absolutely need to play them. Witcher 2's a freebie but, seeing as I bought the other 2, I have to play it.

[Raoul Duke]

You need to cut down on playing the dog sex simulator novels

[Ian]

What Raoul is saying is that it comes to clearing off your list of shame you've really..... screwed the pooch.

[Ian]

:charm:

[Shindig]

You need to cut down on playing the dog sex simulator novels

The good thing (the only good thing) about visual novels is you can skip through the dialogue, make your choices and be done in five minutes. I might miss some context but these things are nonsense anyway. Apparently the main dog can teleport to a dog island. She's looking for her brother. All the dogs function as people with jobs and shit. But it's about dogs because dogs no Visual Novel author has ever considered other people exist. Shut-in fantasist cunts.

[Shindig]

It's that time of year again. I might get another one done but this is what went this year:

Final Fantasy VII
Syphon Filter 2
Viewtiful Joe
Shinobi
Hitman 2
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Read Dead Redemption
DRIVECLUB
Dead Cells
Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Mario Sunshine
Super Mario 64

About 28 left.

[Shindig]

Haven't updated in a while. I'm down to these:

Monster Hunter World (although I've got it for free now and might sack the physical copy off)
Resident Evil 5
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Prince of Persia: Two Thrones
MGS: Peace Walker
Persona 3: FES
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Colin McRae 2005
SSX Tricky
Metroid Prime 2
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 0
Zelda: Wind Waker
Tomb Raider II
System Shock
System Shock 2
C&C: Red Alert 2
Far Cry
Rome Total War
3D Lemmings
Gears 2

It's odd to see the backlog looking so trim. I'm not feeling Witcher 2 much so might let that one slide. It was another freebie so I can strike it off the list. Still too many RPGs. Matters are complicated by the fact I don't have a spare space to bring the PS3/360 downstairs, too.

[Yevrah]

I’ve got about 200 on my list. I should start working through it while FIFA is a bit dead.

[Shindig]

Don't know if I'll honestly get anything else off my plate so here is 2022's problem:

Monster Hunter World
Nioh 2
Resident Evil 5
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within
Prince of Persia: Two Thrones
MGS: Peace Walker
Persona 3: FES
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Colin McRae 2005
SSX Tricky
Metroid Prime 2
Resident Evil 4
Resident Evil 0
Zelda: Wind Waker
Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Zelda: Links Awakening
Tomb Raider II
System Shock 2
C&C: Red Alert 2
Duke Nukem 3D
Rome Total War
Final Doom
Master Levels for Doom 2
Deus Ex 2: Invisible War
Halo: Master Chief Collection. That's six of the bastards.
Gears of War 2

I knew this would happen as soon as I got a PC that could run things.

[Ian]

With Game Pass I've long since given up on any notion of the list.

[Shindig]

The PS Plus ones and freebies don't count for me. If I paid money for it, I should make an effort to clear it.

[Shindig]

I hope you've got 500 hours spare if you're planning to start MHW.

[Shindig]

I ... erm ... it's one of those games when credits roll at about 30, right? RIGHT!?

[randomlegend]

Base game took me about 80 hours I think. Iceborne story I finished at about 200 I guess. I'm at 300 hours now and still haven't finished the post game content.

[Gray Fox]

So I got a PS5 on launch and despite it being a great bit of kit, I've not touched those PlayStation exclusives I'd missed out on as a long time Xbox user. Along with some other games along the way.
Also recently built the new family PC and made it capable of some great 1440p gameplay. Given that the amount of games I play multiplayer now has basically reduced to FIFA and that there really isn't a PS5 exclusive game coming out in the near future, I'm now wondering if or not to cash in on it. Even now CeX will give me almost everything back that I paid. I was thinking about buying a Switch as there's some games on there I'd love to play(new pokemon game also coming soon) and the PC should have everything else covered. All I'd need there is an Xbox controller to plug into it as my fingers dont do mouse and keyboard.

I do however not want to do this before ticking some games off first in a sort of last ditch effort to get back into gaming. To put the timescale out there the last games I properly enjoyed playing that weren't FIFA, were Tom Clancys Divison 2 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
I've tried BF2042 with the PS5, but found it a mess at the time. However Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 was good fun. Perhaps mainly because it didn't bollocks about with a story and you just shot up some people from far away.
In any case the list I want to work through:

Far Cry 6
Horizon: Zero Dawn
Horizon: Forbidden West
The Last of Us 1 & 2
Ghost of Tsushima
Death Stranding
Stray
Spider-Man
Spider-Man: Miles Morales

I'll be starting with Far Cry 6 as it's the only one I actually own the copy of. Thankfully for me I think the rest are all on PS+ Extra. Ideal situation is to try and finish 1 per week, though I hear the Stray and Miles Morales games are quite short.

[Ian]

Yeah I think I read at the time that Miles Morales is a fairly short one.

[Raoul Duke]

No God Of War? Should definitely have that on the list

[Gray Fox]

Yes! I knew I’d forgot one.

[Shindig]

Now the reviewing is done, I've put together a big list of what's in my PS4/5 library.

I have 469 games in total.
Of these, I've finished 271 of them.
295 of them are review copies.
100-ish of these review copies have not been finished.

That last one sounds terrifying but 30-odd of them are sports/racing games. There's also maybe a dozen roguelikes and Metroidvanias. Some of them are just plain shite. I'm working my way through the good ones.

My average review score is 6.4/10. What an optimist. The Witness is my only 10. I've only gone as low as 3/10 five times.

[Ian]

Couldn't get on with the Witness.

[Shindig]

It is basically Jonathan Blow being a big indulgent dickhead. I like how they manage to keep line puzzles relatively fresh and the island does have a reason to exist. Even if that reason is, "I'm Jonathan Blow and I'm here to sell you on new age bullshit."

[Shindig]

It's the season. Here's the 56 games I beat this year.

1) Doom 64
2) Forgotten Hills Disillusion
