The problem with these sites is that the site will vanish at some point and all your data will be gone. I used a site called Jinni to rate hundreds of movies that I watched. Jinni no longer exists.
You can tag a game as "Mastered" and filter your library for just the mastered games. Or are you talking about something like having a full tab of just the completed games on your profile
@@mygameopinions The ladder. Like a tab or a badge that goes on the game cover. Mastered feels a bit like a hidden feature on the main menu. But it’s not a big deal just would be nice.
@@julianjolts5050 Oh yeah that would be cool to have like a badge overlayed on the game picture on your profile to make it obvious. You could always suggest that I think they have a suggestions page.
I'm using HLTB (how long to beat) and I can recommend ir. Also with the opportunity to import your steam library. I will have a look into backlogged though, thanks
Yeah steam reviews are okay but there's quite a lot of problems with the "positive/negative" review scale. That's a story for another day though. I like backloggd reviews they feel more personable and people go to the site just to write reviews so they're usually pretty good
Last year, I visited Backloggd after watching this video. I've been a gamer for three decades (circa 1993)! I have over 1,000+ titles beaten from 1993 to present; I tried my best on remembering what I've done.
Damn, I am glad this video got recommended to me. I wanted something like this for years, but last time I checked, which was a few years back I did not find anything. So yeah, lets go. I hope people start using it more :)
Yeah being able to import your library from Steam would be a really nice feature. If they could add that at some point it'd be great to have everything automatically be added
@@mygameopinions I've been playing games since I was 6 and have no idea how to manually add everything. that's what's holding me back. Steam import would be fantastic
This is insanely useful now that I have started to play more games actively. I have now beaten 60 and keeping track of what I have played from start to finish is fun. Thank you for this video!
I'm glad I saw your video about finishing a game you dislike, cause it brought me to this one. I've just created an account and have spent the last few hours adding in games and really loving it
Wow that's great to hear! Backloggd is so cool heh I just love having things organized and ticking things off a list. Thanks for the support on the videos :)
This is really cool, thanks! I really like the stats and organisation options it provides. I'd been using a spreadsheet to track stuff I was playing, but it always got kind of messy to update and maintain over time.
I have a pretty much perfect system for all this on steam already. Games I absolutely want to play go into wishlist, same for games I am still deciding on or unreleased, I just go through it every now and then when deciding what to buy and maybe remove a couple of games I decided not to play or actually go check reviews for games I added before release. Speaking of reviews I get that averaging lots of them will usually reflect a game's general quality but I find that finding a reviewer I resonate with is the best way to predict if I'll like a game. I still check metacritic scores (yes, I know) and most voted steam reviews both negative and positive but if I really can't get a feel on a game I just hit RUclips for more personal reviews. Anyway, games I may only have a hint that I might like and are unreleased and far off with not much info I put them in my follow list. Steam will show me updates on them as they are posted and eventually they may get wishlisted or unfollowed and ignored. And yes, I also put stuff directly into ignored one in a while when it's trash I rather not be reminded of (rpg maker games, sports games, etc.) Games I buy go into favorites list in library as soon as I get them. That means I haven't played them yet. The ones I mean to play in the next few months are kept installed, usually 10 to 15. Once I finish a game it's removed from favorites and likely uninstalled too but I make sure of writing a review for it which I try to make very personal and focused on helping others make an informed decision on whether they enjoy the game. I rarely rip into games unless they have glaring issues or objectively poor quality. I guess if I wanted to track console games too or use the more social features the backlog site would work well.
Yeah adding more catalogue and one you have yo log all ypur games manually seems very redundant. And funny reviews are like 95% of reviews on steam . Sorry but dont see the appeal.
your system works perfect as long as you play in only one platform, that is not even PC games in general, but ONLY Steam! so for most of the players it just doesn't fit.
Tu sistema no funciona si usas algo que no sea Steam, la plataforma misma no permite juegos que otras como GOG sí. Y ni hablar de si tienes varias consolas...quiero decir, ¿el catálogo exclusivo o de juegos que nunca se portearon a Steam qué? Backloggd tiene muchas más funciones que registrar qué juegas/jugaste.
There are a handful of sites like this, and I've tried just about all of them. And they have one terrible thing in common. A lacking database. Game releases can be really fucking complicated. For example, a childhood classic of mine (also a _genuinely_ great game) is called "Asterix & Obelix XXL". It was released as "Asterix & Obelix: Kick Buttix" in the US. Only in the US, but that is still the standard on the internet, so it's more often than not found like that. Other than the language options, I'm pretty sure there's no difference between the versions. Do you consider that one game, or two different ones? It also got a (graphically insanely impressive) Gameboy Advance port which is almost completely different. Is that the same game, or two different ones? Also, this game has a Remaster, aptly called "XXL Romastered" _or_ "XXL 1". Well, what do you do with this? It's basically the exact same game, just prettier, so what do you count it as? Do you consider it one title, or two different ones? And what about Limited/Collectors editions? Do they count as separate? And it got released in a bundle with the other games: "Asterix & Obelix XXL: Collection". Should "finishing" this bundle mean that you played XXL 1? It also has a really minor but really quite common feature. An & sign in its name. In 2023 no sites should buckle under a fucking standard sign, but they do. I can't find games which have "&" in their names when I search for "and". Evidently others don't, either, because there are always some duplicates of these. Not to mention that searching for "Astérix et/& Obélix" also doesn't work... Now, this game has a sequel, called XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum, and a bastard child disguised as another sequel, called XXL3. For the second game, there was a remake (sorta) for the DS and the PSP. It's called "XXL 2: Mission Wifix". The PSP version is very faithful, it's basically a port of the PS2 version. But the DS one is quite different. Very similar gameplay (aside from the typical DS minigames), but with different (admittedly similar) levels, totally gutted cutscenes, and completely different music. Is the PSP version the same as the original, or is it the same as the DS version? Are they completely separate? Are they all the same game? It also has a proper modern Remaster, called just "Asterix & Obelix XXL 2". Not "Romastered", but the same as the original For the record, it seems backloggd has: - Asterix & Obelix: Kick Buttix (which is the main console version) - Asterix & Obelix XXL (which is secretly just the GBA release) - Asterix & Obelix XXL: Romastered - Asterix & Obelix XXL2: Mission: Las Vegum (which is missing a space) - Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Wifix (which is missing a colon) - Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 (the remake) - Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum (also the remake) - Roman Rumble in Las Vegum: Asterix & Obelix XXL 2 (also the remake, and incorrectly marked as only for XBONE) - Asterix and Obelix XXL 2 Remastered (also the remake, but it isn't even one of its names, and it's incorrectly marked as TBD) - Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Remaster - Limited Edition (also the remake, and is neither the name of the official release, nor a useful distinction in any capacity) - Asterix and Obelix XXL 3 - Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir - Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir - Limited Edition (which is not a useful distinction in any capacity) - Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir - Collector's Edition (which has a misplaced quote mark, and is not a useful distinction in any capacity) - Asterix & Obelix XXL: Collection (which is just a bundle of three games) - 2 in 1 I Asterix & Obelix: Bash Them All! + Asterix & Obelix XXL (which is just a bundle of two completely different and separate games, and has a slightly incorrect description) Can you see why I don't use a site to track my games when I do for everything else? Unlike the movie industry, which has figured out the categorization of: - dubs are the same movie, even if they made significant changes - remasters are the same movie - remakes are completely 100% different or the music industry which has a very strict ID system for album releases, and so everything is always separated, or anime, which is (just barely) small enough to be for the hardcore users to keep the databases fully accurate with minute detail. Video Games are just too messy and complicated for a single database.
A&O lmao you picked literally like the one game I think I have also looked up and could not find that version of on their website. Buy and large their database is pretty extensive compared to others.
Ooo I hadn't heard of that website. It's interesting that it's made by the same people as Rate Your Music. Don't really like the UI but will be interesting to see how they grow
The problem with Glitchwave is that it gets half the updates that RYM does, which is already once every 10 years. Profile picture uploading was bugged for 3 whole months. I use it and prefer it over backloggd, specifically because I'm a fucking nerd and find most reviews on anything than isn't within the RYM umbrella to be terrible (the consensus for BOTW, for example, is that it's a masterpiece, and I'm more on the Joseph Anderson camp that found it to be a 7 at best). However, the actual logging is infinitely more customizable than GW. The video doesn't go spend too much time on that, but you can see how MyGameOpinions was able to log dates and replays, etc. All of this is a pain in the ass to get working on GW. I think backloggd has a place.
Yeah I always look at HLTB before I play a game to get an estimate of how long I'll be playing it's good! I just don't really like the UI for the rest of the website though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@mygameopinions I definitely get that. I set up my Backloggd today and I gotta say it’s way more optimized to function like a social media platform like Letterboxd. HLTB is pretty bad in the social aspect, so I’m fully switching over. Thanks for showing it!
So I was using the collections on steam but holy... THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! I have like a backlog of... too many games and I feel like this website can make you generally a more healthy gamer. Being that te reviews on steam are kinda unreliable this site is a blessing
I honestly do not see the point in putting this much effort into backlogging games when you can just base it down to your digital library on the console itself (or just memory). But it does look cool to make lists of games you played that year with the site i guess
I've tried this site before, and I really didn't like it to see games as only Numbers. I disliked it, because it robbed me every freedom. I was feeling like I'm wasting my time playing some old or online games at some point. But I can see the appeal for sure!
Yep Android and IOS apps are on the road map on their website so they'll be coming soon. You can pin the webpage to your home screen on mobile and then it basically works as an app for now.
When I finish a game, I try to remember a meaningful soundtrack of it, one that later can remind me of the fun I just had. Then I try to find that track on RUclips and add it to a list of mine. Once I even played a game while registering what I felt was ok with it. Ended up enjoying it way more, and really appreciating the unnecessary thought that was put into making it (False Myth). I kind of get a similar vibe with the silly thing I do and that page, so I'll check that out!
This is neat. The only thing that would be a problem for me is that, for obvious reasons, ROM hacks/fangames n' stuff are (Probably) not included, and there's a LOT of those in my backlog. Lol. Still a cool site tho, I imagine itd be useful regardless of that. :)
There are some, although it depends on what you're looking for - Backloggd gets its game data from IGDB, which in my experience is fairly lenient in terms of what's considered a "game", so it's usually not too bad to add something. Hell, the Burger King orientation videos for the Philips CD-i are on there
This channel literally grew like 1000 subs in the last few hours! (Exaggerating but I know the creator is seeing this right now!!!) good luck on your streak my friend
As an active member of AlbumOfTheYear (AoTY), a similar site to RYM, this would instead limit the amount of games that I play because looking at the average user score sometimes ruin it for me. Instead of wanting to genuinely try the game, I check the ratings first to know if it’s worth my time and then get overly critical about it. I use AOTY and it was a blessing and a curse, because sure I get to listen to a lot of good albums, but that stop me from trying to listen to the less popular or “mediocre” ones. And sometimes I get overly critical as well. Not to mention the snobby and pretentious community. Plus the amount of influence that influencers have on the sites. Can’t have a popular album without the likes of Anthony Fantano and/or Brad Taste in Music fans affecting the average score. I would probably stay away from this site though, one AOTY is enough.
looks a bit better than rawg, but i cant import a list of games, so thats a pass. i sooner write my own local tracking software than try to reimport every game by hand.
If you ever plan to make a video about 2D platformers, maybe you'd like to check out Captain Claw too, you play as a pirate cat. You might have never heard of it and that's why I'm mentioning it. I personally think that it's pretty good. It was released in 1997 by Monolith Productions, the guys who also made Blood, FEAR, Shadow of Mordor/War etc.
I personally created a giant google sheet a few months ago, it has columns for each system, and then I have drop down tabs which let me change it from incomplete, to finished, completed, or dropped. I have comments on every single game with their estimated play time as shown by HLTB, and I have counters at the top showing how many games I have in each category per system. I started this list back in February roughly and I've marked 192 games off my list already (only 25 of which were dropped), some being short games, and some being Final Fantasy 1-6, Live a Live, and Drake of the 99 Dragons. Simply having a possible list of games I want to play, and an estimated amount of time they'll take has absolutely changed my approach to what game I want to play, because some games I'd overblown in my head for how long they were, like Soul Blazer, or Yo-Kai Watch, or Zone of the Enders, and realizing that I could finish Zone of the Enders in a sitting, or Soul Blazer in 2 sittings, made some games which seemed massive in my head, a lot more achievable. Doing this has made me experience games that I never expected to play, or even like, and has given me so many games that I've loved or have come to respect so much more than I ever expected. I've enjoyed gaming more in the last 4 months than I have in the last 5+ years just by doing this and finally playing so many games that I've said "I'll get to that eventually". And just in case anyone's wondering, I've still got 1,165 games left on my backlog, so I've easily got another few years worth of games to get through. Also, I appreciate the DIY profile pic, solid series.
I think the website is cool but I wish I could link it to my gaming accounts so that I don't have to manually add every game I've ever played. This would be handy if they add achievements as well
I use Playnite for this. But a backlogg integration for Playnite would be awesome, I might see if someone in the community might be interested in this.
I'll have to check this platform out. I've been using How Long To Beat which gives a break down on how long a game takes to beat in different ways like just main, main + some side quests, 100%, speed, leisure, etc. Has reviews and how many have logged their time and in which way.
Wow what the hell just happened, i checked like 3 days ago you had like 400 subs, 2.5k? How? What are you doing to grow so quickly? Btw I use gourvee for my backlog.
I created a Backloggd account about 3 months ago and completely forgot about it. I need to start using it properly again. I am really bad with "Admin OCD" and put far too much time into organising my game lists. I seem to spend far more time these days thinking about what to play than actually playing.
This is awesome! I've been looking for something like this for so long. Tried using igdb but it just doesn't have as many cool features as this one looks like it has and I hate igdbs layout lol. Thanks man!
I like using trophies on PlayStation to keep track of games I’ve finished or 100%’d. If it’s at 1%-20% I consider it on my backlog to revisit later. If it’s platinumed I’ve usually had enough and consider it finished.
I used to really like backloggd, but personally I've determined that it's best for me to stay away from reviews no matter what and try to distance myself as much as possible, and there's no way to disable them there so I've been forced to avoid it. I just hate playing games everyone else loves and not understanding why, or finding some of my favorite games ever and everyone else treats them as average. Backloggd and Anilist are the two biggest culprits of this (not because their communities are bad or anything, they're just the only two I use), I disagree with ratings like 80% of the time, and it's just frustrating. Makes me feel like an outcast. I really love the UI and everything about it, so this is entirely a me issue, but I can't stand any site with reviews so I've been using Obsidian (notepad but better) instead for logging everything. Is it autistic? Yes. Am I still going to avoid all review sites? Yeah.
Im with you, game reviews and scores are worthless to me when the game reviewer probably can't even complete Cuphead on normal mode. Also would like to avoid IGN reviews such as: Too much water 😂😂😂😂
@@mygameopinions this video actually encouraged me to go finish (basically completely restart) AI the Somnium Files because I lost my save 15 hours in 😂. Also never seen anyone who knows about Oresuki 🤔
I'm glad this site does an out of 5* rating, I've seen a few other gaming log resources, but I hate out of 10 scales. There's just way too much wiggle in a scale that big. What makes a 6.5 game better than a 6? how much better is a 2/10 over a 3/10? It's way too broad and doesn't give an accurate story to how you really feel about something.
cool video! exactly what i needed to be honest, gonna make an account asap. what's the tetris game called that was being played in the background? thanks
Using excel sheets and sites like this is a fun way of doing it as it gives a sense of accomplishment. Sounds like too much of a pain for me to keep up with tho when you have hundreds of titles already I just organize my steam section using dynamic selection stuff since the Tags are pretty useful. The numbers are used so they come up in order on UI lol Favorites - Games I am currently playing very regularly (like an FG or MMO I play almost daily) 1 Installed 2 Never played (unplayed tag using dynamic collections) 3 Played (* tag using system) 4 Completed (this is the only section I manually do) then I just have other dynamic collections I make and delete once a while when I want to find JRPGs, CO-OP or whatever genre I am feeling like playing. I use Deku deals for knowing what games I have on the Switch, Xbox or any Sony related systems then just do the rest manually on each console.
I’m that Excel spreadsheet gamer- but this looks like a great way to get ideas and motivation on top of my already functional (albeit nerdy and cumbersome AF) system. Thanks for the suggestion!
Bro I watched another one of your videos where for a brief second you mentioned this and I’ve been searching for your channel for ages so I could find that video remember the name of this site and then BAM this pops up on my feed
I own several thousand games and around 500 or something games are on steam.I use 4 Steam Folders A Current - Games Im currently, theoretically, playing. Limited to 10-15 games. B Coming - Games I intend to play someday C Hello Im in Storage - Games I just have installed to play with friends D Bait - Games that are unfinished And everything else is either unsorted, cause I dont care at all as long as ABD is filled, or hidden cause Im done with it for one or the other reason. Important notice: I do not verify every Key I own. Cause if I got Barbies Pony Range in a bundle and I know I will never ever play Barbies Pony Range than I dont have to put it in my steam library. I used to use a spreadsheet for unused keys but that was just not fun.
I use Wishlists and a Coming Soon Playlist full of Trailers on RUclips for anything I can't wishlist. U like many many gamers, I don't often buy a new game until I've finished my last one, or need a better variety of games in Rotation to play.
no need. don't make gaming a homework. play as you feel whether you finish it or not. whether you come back to it days, weeks, months, years later or not. it's not like the game will be lost forever.
@@mygameopinions I liked it a lot and eventually want to get one of my friends to play it in co-op mode with me. Will probably be even more fun a drink or two in.
Can you play a game called Voidigo, it's on a steam and its a mix between nuclear throne and enter the gungeon. Im sugguesting this because the game its super underrated for how good it is and that makes me sad. Have a great day
I have letterboxd and myanimelist, though I don’t think I will use this site because I barely get any new games and most of them are in one console or on my shelf.
I made an account, added some games that I want to play, and some games that I have played, but would be perfect to import steam there. It is way too many games to log.

- Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir - Limited Edition (which is not a useful distinction in any capacity)
- Asterix & Obelix XXL 3: The Crystal Menhir - Collector's Edition (which has a misplaced quote mark, and is not a useful distinction in any capacity)
- Asterix & Obelix XXL: Collection (which is just a bundle of three games)
- 2 in 1 I Asterix & Obelix: Bash Them All! + Asterix & Obelix XXL (which is just a bundle of two completely different and separate games, and has a slightly incorrect description)
Can you see why I don't use a site to track my games when I do for everything else?
Unlike the movie industry, which has figured out the categorization of:
- dubs are the same movie, even if they made significant changes
- remasters are the same movie
- remakes are completely 100% different
or the music industry which has a very strict ID system for album releases, and so everything is always separated,
or anime, which is (just barely) small enough to be for the hardcore users to keep the databases fully accurate with minute detail.
Video Games are just too messy and complicated for a single database.
A&O lmao you picked literally like the one game I think I have also looked up and could not find that version of on their website. Buy and large their database is pretty extensive compared to others.
I already use HLTB religiously, it would take too long to file every game into backlogged as I have hundreds
Meh. I like Glitchwave.
Ooo I hadn't heard of that website. It's interesting that it's made by the same people as Rate Your Music. Don't really like the UI but will be interesting to see how they grow
The problem with Glitchwave is that it gets half the updates that RYM does, which is already once every 10 years. Profile picture uploading was bugged for 3 whole months. I use it and prefer it over backloggd, specifically because I'm a fucking nerd and find most reviews on anything than isn't within the RYM umbrella to be terrible (the consensus for BOTW, for example, is that it's a masterpiece, and I'm more on the Joseph Anderson camp that found it to be a 7 at best).
However, the actual logging is infinitely more customizable than GW. The video doesn't go spend too much time on that, but you can see how MyGameOpinions was able to log dates and replays, etc. All of this is a pain in the ass to get working on GW. I think backloggd has a place.
I’ve been using How Long To Beat for this, but might give this site a try
Yeah I always look at HLTB before I play a game to get an estimate of how long I'll be playing it's good!
I just don't really like the UI for the rest of the website though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@mygameopinions I definitely get that. I set up my Backloggd today and I gotta say it’s way more optimized to function like a social media platform like Letterboxd. HLTB is pretty bad in the social aspect, so I’m fully switching over. Thanks for showing it!
So I was using the collections on steam but holy... THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! I have like a backlog of... too many games and I feel like this website can make you generally a more healthy gamer. Being that te reviews on steam are kinda unreliable this site is a blessing
I honestly do not see the point in putting this much effort into backlogging games when you can just base it down to your digital library on the console itself (or just memory). But it does look cool to make lists of games you played that year with the site i guess
I've tried this site before, and I really didn't like it to see games as only Numbers. I disliked it, because it robbed me every freedom. I was feeling like I'm wasting my time playing some old or online games at some point. But I can see the appeal for sure!
the review part looks awesome. but cmon no app? I barely use desktop anymore :(
Yep Android and IOS apps are on the road map on their website so they'll be coming soon. You can pin the webpage to your home screen on mobile and then it basically works as an app for now.
When I finish a game, I try to remember a meaningful soundtrack of it, one that later can remind me of the fun I just had.
Then I try to find that track on RUclips and add it to a list of mine.
Once I even played a game while registering what I felt was ok with it.
Ended up enjoying it way more, and really appreciating the unnecessary thought that was put into making it (False Myth).
I kind of get a similar vibe with the silly thing I do and that page, so I'll check that out!
This is neat. The only thing that would be a problem for me is that, for obvious reasons, ROM hacks/fangames n' stuff are (Probably) not included, and there's a LOT of those in my backlog. Lol.
Still a cool site tho, I imagine itd be useful regardless of that. :)
The site has some like mod and probably romhacks too you might be surprised. But yeah like super teeny tiny games usually aren't on there
There are some, although it depends on what you're looking for - Backloggd gets its game data from IGDB, which in my experience is fairly lenient in terms of what's considered a "game", so it's usually not too bad to add something. Hell, the Burger King orientation videos for the Philips CD-i are on there
This channel literally grew like 1000 subs in the last few hours! (Exaggerating but I know the creator is seeing this right now!!!) good luck on your streak my friend
Thank you for the support :) the growth is crazy
I caught omori in there - you gotta play it man. If you like undertale or earthbound it’s a must play
I've been using Grouvee for a few years now. Shelves system is just a little bit janky but I made it work for me.
I love Grouvee!
I use backloggd to show the games i played and reviewing them
Don't do 1 video with all the reviews, 60min vid is too long. That will screw up your algorithm. Better to make 10min vids.
yes this is a nice website.
As an active member of AlbumOfTheYear (AoTY), a similar site to RYM, this would instead limit the amount of games that I play because looking at the average user score sometimes ruin it for me. Instead of wanting to genuinely try the game, I check the ratings first to know if it’s worth my time and then get overly critical about it.
I use AOTY and it was a blessing and a curse, because sure I get to listen to a lot of good albums, but that stop me from trying to listen to the less popular or “mediocre” ones. And sometimes I get overly critical as well. Not to mention the snobby and pretentious community. Plus the amount of influence that influencers have on the sites. Can’t have a popular album without the likes of Anthony Fantano and/or Brad Taste in Music fans affecting the average score.
I would probably stay away from this site though, one AOTY is enough.
Nice, man, created my account. I love this kind of websites.
looks a bit better than rawg, but i cant import a list of games, so thats a pass. i sooner write my own local tracking software than try to reimport every game by hand.
If you ever plan to make a video about 2D platformers, maybe you'd like to check out Captain Claw too, you play as a pirate cat. You might have never heard of it and that's why I'm mentioning it. I personally think that it's pretty good. It was released in 1997 by Monolith Productions, the guys who also made Blood, FEAR, Shadow of Mordor/War etc.
Sounds interesting I'll check it out
@@mygameopinions Thanks! Forgot to mention that it's abandonware but it has a big fansite called The Claw Recluse.
Great website. Just what I needed, thanks!
I personally created a giant google sheet a few months ago, it has columns for each system, and then I have drop down tabs which let me change it from incomplete, to finished, completed, or dropped. I have comments on every single game with their estimated play time as shown by HLTB, and I have counters at the top showing how many games I have in each category per system.
I started this list back in February roughly and I've marked 192 games off my list already (only 25 of which were dropped), some being short games, and some being Final Fantasy 1-6, Live a Live, and Drake of the 99 Dragons.
Simply having a possible list of games I want to play, and an estimated amount of time they'll take has absolutely changed my approach to what game I want to play, because some games I'd overblown in my head for how long they were, like Soul Blazer, or Yo-Kai Watch, or Zone of the Enders, and realizing that I could finish Zone of the Enders in a sitting, or Soul Blazer in 2 sittings, made some games which seemed massive in my head, a lot more achievable.
Doing this has made me experience games that I never expected to play, or even like, and has given me so many games that I've loved or have come to respect so much more than I ever expected.
I've enjoyed gaming more in the last 4 months than I have in the last 5+ years just by doing this and finally playing so many games that I've said "I'll get to that eventually".
And just in case anyone's wondering, I've still got 1,165 games left on my backlog, so I've easily got another few years worth of games to get through.
Also, I appreciate the DIY profile pic, solid series.
I think the website is cool but I wish I could link it to my gaming accounts so that I don't have to manually add every game I've ever played. This would be handy if they add achievements as well
I use Playnite for this. But a backlogg integration for Playnite would be awesome, I might see if someone in the community might be interested in this.
I did it 😍 I like this bec I can remember the games I've played over the years
I’ve been using grouvee for months now
I'll have to check this platform out. I've been using How Long To Beat which gives a break down on how long a game takes to beat in different ways like just main, main + some side quests, 100%, speed, leisure, etc. Has reviews and how many have logged their time and in which way.
just made my account. thanks so much for recommending!
garden warfare one as give stars
this brings me immeasurable joy
You're at 69 comments, so i hate to ruin that. But this seems awesome! Right up my alley! Thanks for the recommend.
This site looks neat, thanks! :D
whats the games in the background? please...
Haha I should've made a list. Tell me the timestamps and I'll tell you the games you want to know
@MyGameOpinions thanks so much for replying! looked thru your channel and i love you content
1:08
1:53
2:28
Wowwwww thank you so much for the support that means a lot :)
The games are Nier: Automata, Rollerdrome, and Gris
@@mygameopinions thank you so much
I started using this site thanks to this video
i wish there was launcher support so all the games you own can just show up automatically
They need to make a functional iOS app
it’s in roadmap
just signed up thanks bro
Wow what the hell just happened, i checked like 3 days ago you had like 400 subs, 2.5k? How? What are you doing to grow so quickly? Btw I use gourvee for my backlog.
1:52 what is this FPS + freestyling tricks game :O
Rollerdrome! It's so fun!!!! You should check out the 5 minute review I have on my channel ;)
@@mygameopinions nice! Definitely gonna play it 😆 and will be checking your review. 👌🏼
@@danielp121 Hell yeah it's really fun. In my review I gave it a 4/5 but honestly I would change that to a 4.5 if I could lol
I created a Backloggd account about 3 months ago and completely forgot about it.
I need to start using it properly again. I am really bad with "Admin OCD" and put far too much time into organising my game lists. I seem to spend far more time these days thinking about what to play than actually playing.
This is awesome! I've been looking for something like this for so long. Tried using igdb but it just doesn't have as many cool features as this one looks like it has and I hate igdbs layout lol. Thanks man!
This content is good, you‘ve definitely earned a sub
I like using trophies on PlayStation to keep track of games I’ve finished or 100%’d. If it’s at 1%-20% I consider it on my backlog to revisit later. If it’s platinumed I’ve usually had enough and consider it finished.
Seeing ur sub count now is crazy
Hey, I might be blind (or just stoopid) but I can't find a way to actullay backlog any games
Can someone help please ?
On the page for the game you want to log, on the left there should be a button that says backlog. Underneath like "Completed", "Played"
@@mygameopinions Thanks for the help ! But it was actually just a problem on my part, I just had to confirm my email :P
THE SITE OF MY CHILDHOOD DESIRES IS REAAAAAL
Screenshotting your channel now so I can gate keep it when you blow up
Wow I'm honoured :) I have screenshots from when I had 0 subs soooo I'm a true fan
did not know this, cool stuff, thanks
ive just watched ur 2 lastet videos and i love ur channel bro. keep it up :D super underrated channel
How is this guy underrated
I used to really like backloggd, but personally I've determined that it's best for me to stay away from reviews no matter what and try to distance myself as much as possible, and there's no way to disable them there so I've been forced to avoid it. I just hate playing games everyone else loves and not understanding why, or finding some of my favorite games ever and everyone else treats them as average. Backloggd and Anilist are the two biggest culprits of this (not because their communities are bad or anything, they're just the only two I use), I disagree with ratings like 80% of the time, and it's just frustrating. Makes me feel like an outcast. I really love the UI and everything about it, so this is entirely a me issue, but I can't stand any site with reviews so I've been using Obsidian (notepad but better) instead for logging everything.
Is it autistic? Yes. Am I still going to avoid all review sites? Yeah.
Im with you, game reviews and scores are worthless to me when the game reviewer probably can't even complete Cuphead on normal mode. Also would like to avoid IGN reviews such as: Too much water 😂😂😂😂
Not the ranking for every game starting with S😭😭😭
🤭🤭🤭
Goated channel
Goated video
And goated pfp from a goated anime
U the goat
Thanks bro 👍👍
Ayye I'm friends with nancyfly. Cool seeing her there
Wow really that's sick! Her account is super cool
Shes pretty awful
cant wait to make a list of games and then never play them lol! procrastination even in gaming is a sad reality 😢
Heh yeah. Nice pansy pfp 👍👍
@@mygameopinions this video actually encouraged me to go finish (basically completely restart) AI the Somnium Files because I lost my save 15 hours in 😂. Also never seen anyone who knows about Oresuki 🤔
I'm glad this site does an out of 5* rating, I've seen a few other gaming log resources, but I hate out of 10 scales. There's just way too much wiggle in a scale that big. What makes a 6.5 game better than a 6? how much better is a 2/10 over a 3/10? It's way too broad and doesn't give an accurate story to how you really feel about something.
cool video! exactly what i needed to be honest, gonna make an account asap. what's the tetris game called that was being played in the background? thanks
It's Tetris Effect, love that game!
@@mygameopinions thank you very much!
What is the pink haired platformer you are playing here? It looks good. Great video by the way.
Celeste! It's one of the best out there
@@mygameopinions Thank you. I'm going to get that now.
The good reads of video games
i just finish the games fully before buy new games.
Using excel sheets and sites like this is a fun way of doing it as it gives a sense of accomplishment. Sounds like too much of a pain for me to keep up with tho when you have hundreds of titles already
I just organize my steam section using dynamic selection stuff since the Tags are pretty useful. The numbers are used so they come up in order on UI lol
Favorites - Games I am currently playing very regularly (like an FG or MMO I play almost daily)
1 Installed
2 Never played (unplayed tag using dynamic collections)
3 Played (* tag using system)
4 Completed (this is the only section I manually do)
then I just have other dynamic collections I make and delete once a while when I want to find JRPGs, CO-OP or whatever genre I am feeling like playing. I use Deku deals for knowing what games I have on the Switch, Xbox or any Sony related systems then just do the rest manually on each console.
I’m that Excel spreadsheet gamer- but this looks like a great way to get ideas and motivation on top of my already functional (albeit nerdy and cumbersome AF) system. Thanks for the suggestion!
I HAVE 3 GAMES
Minecraft
Dark souls
Bro I watched another one of your videos where for a brief second you mentioned this and I’ve been searching for your channel for ages so I could find that video remember the name of this site and then BAM this pops up on my feed
people use spreadsheets for gaming backlog💀💀 BRO WUT???
I own several thousand games and around 500 or something games are on steam.I use 4 Steam Folders
A Current - Games Im currently, theoretically, playing. Limited to 10-15 games.
B Coming - Games I intend to play someday
C Hello Im in Storage - Games I just have installed to play with friends
D Bait - Games that are unfinished
And everything else is either unsorted, cause I dont care at all as long as ABD is filled, or hidden cause Im done with it for one or the other reason.
Important notice:
I do not verify every Key I own. Cause if I got Barbies Pony Range in a bundle and I know I will never ever play Barbies Pony Range than I dont have to put it in my steam library.
I used to use a spreadsheet for unused keys but that was just not fun.
Thanks so much.
I use Wishlists and a Coming Soon Playlist full of Trailers on RUclips for anything I can't wishlist. U like many many gamers, I don't often buy a new game until I've finished my last one, or need a better variety of games in Rotation to play.
Wait, hold up... you kids never heard of How long to beat? It's used by almost half a million active users. How'd you miss that?
The huge problem for me is my mood
Sometimes I want to play an rpg and sometimes I want to play a horror game and etc
cool song in the end 😄
You've got good taste my friend. It's from the Katamari Damacy OST
i personally use ign's built-in backlog system that has pretty much the same features and also has a phone app
The one and only Armpits Trilogy. How could I not know of it
this seems like a steam profile for people who don't have steam. Interesting idea, but I don't have much use for it.
I just been using notepad as my backlog and just the names only lol
no need. don't make gaming a homework. play as you feel whether you finish it or not. whether you come back to it days, weeks, months, years later or not. it's not like the game will be lost forever.
I've been using this website for 2 years now, it's great! Too bad the community is a bit toxic lol
Fitting that you're using Katamari Damacy music because We Love Katamari is the last thing I finished playing. Pretty good remake.
Same I just played that I loved it
@@mygameopinions I liked it a lot and eventually want to get one of my friends to play it in co-op mode with me. Will probably be even more fun a drink or two in.
I just switched over to howlongtobeat, so it's intimidating to switch to another platform again
Can you play a game called Voidigo, it's on a steam and its a mix between nuclear throne and enter the gungeon. Im sugguesting this because the game its super underrated for how good it is and that makes me sad. Have a great day
I have letterboxd and myanimelist, though I don’t think I will use this site because I barely get any new games and most of them are in one console or on my shelf.
I created a back loggd account and profile, vut I dont know how to put games into my thing and also rate them, wtf am I doing.
I use howlongtobeat as a backlogger for years. Backlogged seems lacking
This is what I was looking for years, I even have a gamedb account but it’s not the same
I made an account, added some games that I want to play, and some games that I have played, but would be perfect to import steam there. It is way too many games to log.
I have singed up and have starting filling it out. Thanks
the term backlog appears so much now ppl are gonna over use this shit LMAO
