Saved!What you all playing these days?
Now that I've completed #Assassin's Creed Origins and #Final Fantasy X HD, I'm going to get cracking on with a Persona 5 playthrough. I'm going to give the original Metal Gear games a go too. I'm going to draw the line at that, because Persona 5 is going to be an absolute monster to beat given my lack of free time these days.
Do you guys have anything on the backlog you want to tackle?-
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Lately I've finished Batman: Arkham Knight, STALKER: Clear Sky and The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. Next game's Baldur's Gate. I've also been playing some Kid Icarus: Uprising. Slowly going to 100% that, probably. Can you believe its online play is still active? No trouble finding a full (6-player) lobby. Other games will launch and have like 3 active players. -
Saved!NodleyEditing … Football Manager 2018 -
Saved!ErektionsiteEditing … Probably gonna replay Kingdom Hearts 2 and Birth By Sleep in anticipation of KH3. Other than that I've been playing a lot of TF2 lately. -
Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … Mostly Ms. Pac-Man and Idol Magical Girl Chiru Chiru Michirun. I would play a longer game, but I'm too busy studying and getting my car fixed... -
Saved!SudertumEditing … Recently Satellite Reign and Endless Space aside of my usual ones. -
Saved!UltyEditing … I've been playing Dead Cells alot lately, it's a game that's giving me very mixed feelings. -
Saved!Odyssey RPGEditing … I've been in a bit of a gaming rut, but the most recent games I've played to completion are Doom 2016 and FF4, I'm currently playing Grim Dawn but I'm getting pretty bored of it. -
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … @Husky Wing I've heard The Bureau is pretty bad and has abysmal AI. What were your final thoughts on it? I never did finish Arkham Knight. It was a solid 8.5 out of 10 though. Reckon it might have even climbed higher Spoilerline break @Nodley Green Have an itch to play anything console related? Spoilerline break @Robert Berlin I've still not finished Birth By Sleep. I played it religiously when it released, but couldn't beat the final boss. So I took a break from it. And just kind of never made my way back to it. Reckon I'll head back to it at some point, but I'd need to relearn the combat.Spoilerline break @DJ JJ Slider What type of game is Idol Magical Girl? A shooter? [spoiler]line break[spoiler] @Alexander The Great Ever feel burned out on all the massive games you play? [spoiler]line break[spoiler] @Ulty What type of game is it? -
Saved!MasterCrashEditing … I'm playing #Ace Attorney Trilogy HD, because finishing the games once is not enough -
Saved!Husky WingEditing … Abysmal AI! You must've been reading my posts. Overall though it was actually really fun--wasn't a big fan of what went on through the ending, though. The game's a clear Mass Effect ripoff, with the same squad system and dialogue wheel and even the same method of sprinting, but maybe it's better than Andromeda. The combat's pretty gosh darned fun, offers a good number of challenges, and the abilities and teammates are fun to use. I got invested. Had fun killing aliens with Bill Murray by my side.

Saved!I played Lost Planet. I own Lost Planet 3.
I don't own Lost Planet 2.
I played S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. I own Call of Pripyat.
I don't own Clear Sky.
why has this happened -
Saved!2018 - Week 4 (Jan 22nd - Jan 28th)
Another week of limited game time.
Played some more Mass Effect. Wandered around the Nexus (Andromeda's equivalent to the Citadel) doing sidequests for an hour before the PS4 turned into a jet engine. A Google search reveals this as a common issue with the game, so yet another reason the PS4 has been a disappointment :/
Been on a bit of a superhero kick lately, ao decided to try Batman: Telltale Series. I enjoy these quick-time games (a la Fahrenheit, Beyond: Two Souls). I only played about half an hour, but I am intrigued to see how my choices impact the story. I'll stick with this one through February :)
I'm still working my way through my backlog of gaming podcasts too. I'm now caught up to the release of Prey. Slow progress, yea, but progress nonetheless.
Games I'm thinking about:
Assassin's Creed Origins has been on my mind a lot lately. I really want to try it, but alas my goal of not buying games prevents it. More than that, i've been wanting to play ACIII again. Final Fantasy XV is calling to me, as are RPG's in general. Especially an open-world RPG. I heard God of War (Dad of War) has a release date, but it's long playtime and new style is turning me off. I have enough long games on my backlog to last me years. Had another look at my top 100 game list and remain fairly confident that it is full of solid choices. The fact I wanted to replay them all just reading through it proves that.

Saved!DJ_JJSliderEditing … The Witcher 3 is on your list. Hmm. A long time ago, I got so hyped when a college friend showed me a trailer for The Witcher 2. Tits in a video game! Umm, there's probably more to that game but...yeah. Ahem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7telCJ0xEig

Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … Yeah there's good stuff like Final Fantasy V and then there's bullshit like Chrono Trigger. -
Saved!MrZAPEditing … You don't want to see my Steam backlog... you want to see my general backlog of everything I don't even own but want to play even less. -
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … Out of curiosity, which ones are "cancer"? Haha, what's your gripe with Chrono Trigger, Egg?
-
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … I was exaggerating to be a douche, but I find Chrono Trigger overly easy with one note characters and a boring story. I don't dislike it but it's probably my least favorite game I ever bothered to beat. That or Final Fantasy XII.
-
Saved!SandvichEditing … About a billion years ago I watched a friend play the Last Remnant for about an hour. When we weren't talking to each other about other stuff he was mostly yelling at his squad for healing the wrong person or attacking the wrong enemy, because the game is like Persona 3 if you didn't even directly control the MC. Meanwhile I mostly tried not to look at the TV so the frame drops wouldn't give me a migraine. When I asked him why he didn't just stop playing he said "It's not that bad." That sounds like a ringing endorsement to me!
-
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … "the game is like Persona 3 if you didn't even directly control the MC" So it's not a video game.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … Ahh, yea. I remember it being quite poorly reviewed, but I am still curious, and it cost me about £1 so no loss if it's terribad
-
Saved!MrZAPEditing … I got it in a Humble Bundle a couple years ago. I'll probably play it eventually out of guilt.

Saved!2008 - Week 3 (Jan 15th - Jan 21st)
Nothing to report....
Didn't have any gaming time this week except a couple hours with FInal Fantasy X while my friends watched The Simpsons (that show is dull as dishwater now). I've played up until Mi'hen Highroad and having fun. I won the Blitzball Tournament after 9 minutes of overtime, which was neat. It's rare that I win it first try. I forgot how much I enjoyed the Sphere Grid system.
P.S I deleted Forge of Empires. Who wants to wait 4 hours for a building to be constructed? Lame-sauce

Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … I only won that blitzball game once. It's nice that the difficulty level is so high, since it's optional to win, though I don't like it that much as a minigame. I do like the Sphere Grid system though.
-
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … I rewatched the season 14 Simpsons episode The Strong Arms of the Ma recently and it's still a gem among zombie Simpsons.
-
Saved!SudertumEditing … Winning at blitzball was easy in ff10, played that as my brother disliked such.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … I always enjoyed blitzball. I hate that they changed it for the sequel :(
-
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … Alex you found that first mandatory blitzball game easy? You must be a super gunius who eats Super Mario World for breakfast.
-
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … I wrote that full well knowing that Super Mario World is somehow considered easy because I'm a passive aggressive douchebag.
-
-
Saved!SudertumEditing … Egg, won the szenario without real Training. Spent many hours playing you consider soccer Games. SMW just needs practise to get into, was close to a walkthrough before battery broke. Two decades later i rarely touch such genre in videogames anymore, its likely to see me fail then playing again.

Saved!2008 - Week 2 (Jan 8th - Jan 14th)
Spent a couple of evenings delving into my Christmas games. I've only played the prologue of "Mass Effect Andromeda", so can't really say too much on that, although the combat seemed improved from 3, so that's awesome. The auto-cover system seems a bit fiddly though, hope it doesn't become annoying. Looking forward to playing more, but I was distracted by my current favourite, "South Park: The Fractured But Whole". I'm about 5hrs in and having a great time. The humour is classic South Park and it's making me want to watch the show, so I guess they succeeded there. Combat is pretty much on par with the original. Haven't done much story, I've just been plundering houses for loot and strengthening my character. I like the constant dripfeed of rewards for tasks. Keeps you in that "5 more minutes" mindset.
Aside from those two, I've been continuing to play Forge of Empires whenever I have a couple of minutes to kill (on the bog). It's fairly meh, but it occupies my brain. I also played my first backlog game last night, "Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt". It's a free-to-play Steam game that plays and looks like an early NES adventure/shooter hybrid. I only got about 15 minutes with it, but I've yet to see where the "overwhelmingly positive" reviews come from. It's only meant to be about an hour long, so I'll see it through.
Had a couple of hours to kill when my fiancée was playing PS4 on Saturday, so I stole her Vita copy of Final Fantasy X HD. I've played up until the party leave Besaid. Final Fantasy X is one of my favourites, so it's great getting to revisit the game. She gave me her unused download code for X-2 HD as well, so I'm looking forward to some sphere-hunting on the go too ^.^ Overall it's been a fairly fun week :)

Saved!SandvichEditing … Andromeda.... combat.... improved..... I just.... have I stumbled into hell? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgOaT4xzdvo&feature=youtu.be&t=3s
-
Saved!Travis GreenEditing … I actually prefer Andromeda's combat as well. In 3, it felt more actiony than the previous games, but your character's movements were still incredibly stiff, so it felt awkward, where in Andromeda you can move around and deal with enemies much faster, so I actually prefer it. I've been playing South Park as well, about 20 hours in and probably near the end, and it's been awesome. I prefer it's combat over the original, and I'm finding it just as funny. -

Saved!2018 - Week 1 (Jan 1st - Jan 7th)
I'm going to restart my backlog challenge on Friday, now that life is a bit more settled. I got a bunch of games for Christmas, which doesn't really help matters, but my total backlog is about 540 games. I'm planning on playing them shortest-longest. However, I am unwilling to toss my new games to the bottom of the heap, so I will be playing those also. For the curious, I got Mass Effect: Andromeda, XCOM 2, Mirror's Edge Catalyst and South Park: The Fractured But Whole.
Gaming-wise, all I've played is a smartphone game: Forge of Empires. It's a Farmville-esque management game that favours micro-transactions, so I doubt it will hold my attention for too long, but it's fun enough and good for 5 minute bursts which is more in line with my limited free time. Real gaming begins soon though :D I can't wait! :)

Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … 540!? Theres no way you cant slim that down. Theres not that many great games left.
-
-
-
Saved!Gries HeEditing … To slim down my backlog I sold like 95 of my unplayed games and you should too. -
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … By great i meant your chance of really getting into thwm. You should for now just focus on the games you feel have at least a one in three chance of hitting your top hundred games. Unless youre equally hyped for all 540 games in which case i cant help you.
-
Saved!Silent GamerEditing … I'm hyped for literally hundreds of them Egg. Nah, Gries, no sense in selling them. The idea is to finally play them. I'd feel worse about selling them having never played them.
-
-
Saved!Dr EggnogEditing … I dont have that much hype in my soul. Only games i feel hyped for are spiderman, a hat in time, and maybe resident evil 7, that last ones more curiosity.

Saved!Decided to make a Howlongtobeat.com account to help me tackle this backlog once and for all. It'll take me a while to populate my lists. (I think it took me 3 weeks to complete my Darkadia). I already took the first step and stopped buying games. Only bought two games this year :)

Saved!Oh no, the feelings are coming back. HELP :(
I thought I was over this XD But nope, I am still feeling guilty about all the unplayed games. -
