Backlogs and Buying New Games....

17 Feb, 2013

Damn, I really want Persona 4 Golden... but honestly will I get time to play it? Ignoring Four in February I have so much still to play (that I do really want to get around to at some point! Backlogs are a bad thing for motivation to play games. Here are just some of my outstanding games....

• Professor Layton series on DS
• Dragon Quest 4/5/6 remakes on DS
• Retro City Rampage on Vita
• The various Grand Theft Auto games for PSP/DS/PC
• Chono Trigger
• The various Mario games for 3DS that are in differ stages of completion
• All the Zelda games I own (between Virtual Console, DS, and 3DS.. Link's Awakening, Minish Cap, Ocarina of Time, Tingle's Rupee Land)
• Pokemon Conquest and Super Pokemon Rumble
• Animal Crossing (Although one doesn't really 'complete' Animal Crossing!)
• Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim
• All of the Fallout games (without getting bored 4 hours in)
• Just Cause 2
• Cave Story and Mutant Mudds
• Faster than Light
• Various Paradox Strategy games (although they are apparently very time consuming)
• Leisure Suit Larry series (Damn you, GOG)
• Orcs Must Die
• The Walking Dead
• The Stalker Series
• Half Life series
• The various tycoon games from GOG that I have amassed.
• Baldur's Gate and the remaining D&D games (once again from GOG)

learly there is a problem here. I simply do not need any more games... I think I should aim to finish 3/5 games from my backlog before I buy new ones. So therefore I won't be buying any more (Animal Crossing New Leaf is exempt from this clause) until I finish at least 5 games from my backlog. Four in February should see me completing two of these (Half Life and Oblivion) and we'll see what goes on after then!

Wish me luck!
