My mom has a similar problem with shopping at Goodwill. Because of her backlog of great deals, you can't even walk through her house.But at least she can try selling her horde.
As someone who has a LOT of steam games in my backlog, i usually play games that i stopped playing a while ago and i end up enjoying them, like for example Doom 3 BFG Edition, which is a fantastic game that deserves more love and is really underrated. Instead of looking at my steam backlog like a endless job, i look at it as something to enjoy, as gaming is meant to be fun and is not to be treated like some sort of chore or job.
I only have gotten 3 games this whole year, nothing but working on that backlog and playing a couple multiplayer games with friends for me, working away at the backlog was honestly extremely freeing but I ran into the problem of finding other ways of spending that money, with vinyl, books, concerts and the works! That and gifting friends stuff, and so I've had a really fulfilling year of not just gaming while knocking out huge amounts of the backlog and really enjoying my time with each game while I do it, definitely replaying sotn this October though lmaoooo, good video
I find that games - as with music, books, tv shows and movies - has to align with your state of mind to be able to enjoy them. If I'm stressed and pressed on time, I won't enjoy RDR2. But if I had the time and a comfortable time in my life, I'd enjoy the heck out of it. But it's nice to have in the BL. Also, regarding horrors, have a look at CARRION.
Great video that has me thinking about my own backlog and why i keep game installed for so long. Never know what day I’m going to just put in some hours.
I just tell people, if they're just gonna put the game I recommend to them on the backlog, don't bother. If anyone is trying to lessen their backlog, I'd personally start with the shortest games first.
600.....adding~40 to inventory each year since 2016... Plus some free offering from various stores... and I end up playing the same handful games over and over....
I have soooo many games to go through, and I have been trying to figure out where to start tbh. A lot of the games are things I start with people but then they stop playing for whatever reason so I get this weird feeling in my soul, so it remains untouched...
This is so true! Some games I've been waiting years for friends to return to lol. If it's a game I'd be interested in doing solo, I'll add it to a separate list. Currently I'm just going through single player games only, but occasionally I'll start a game a friend and I started and just finish it solo. Sometimes it helps to just randomly start a game up even if you aren't in the mood, force yourself to play even like 10 mins, chances are you'll end up getting hooked and play longer. My biggest issue is just booting a game up or starting a new one altogether, but once I do it helps a ton
It is in ways. But in others it is still under valued. I think this is why it keeps getting re-explored by it's designers through multiple direct iterations to express the "art" of it to others but also to master the meaning themselves. Now we are starting to get some really great souls-likes but in terms of ludo-narrative, it is still completely unmatched. The original Dark Souls is cheap and unfinished in so many ways, but also in the brokenness there is a poetry that, for the time it was created, solidified it's legacy for the rest of time.
"Maybe I'll play something really grotesque or even eldritch" he says while hovering over Hentai Strip Shot

Lmao what a pervert.

😒👍 Stock Up
I "try" to prevent it from growing by only buying games I plan to play right away. There'll always be another sale.

I am working on getting to that point :) I am impressed that you manage to get there. Happy holidays/Halloween :D

Nice, this deserves at least a dozen thousand views more
Love the backlog, embrace your inner kid and wait for historical low discount, yes sir!

Thanks, nice arguments for my huge non played steam games

Big recommend for Alien: Isolation

My backlog is my entire library. I can never finish a game forever - it gives me separation anxiety! 😁
5:20 to 5:25 nailed me man.
Counterargument, yes I do.

I saw you sneak in a clip from the movie Blame (2017). That isn't a game.
😒👍 Lets Go!!!
Though you're mostly showing games you've rented out...
Dark souls is overrated fight me
