![How to Deal with your Overwhelming Backlog - [SuperSamBams]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/y3KJ0Abd96c/mqdefault.jpg)
A huge thank you goes to GameStop for allowing us the opportunity to film those few segments in their store and to our friends Nate, Zach, Jake, Jamie, Fallon and Evan for taking part in the madness with us!
Film segments like that at a local game store instead! Gamestop is well known for taking advantage of its customers and its employees, and that is aparent now more than ever as they are doing nothing to ensure their stores dont play a hand in spreading Covid-19!
This was actually a pretty useful video. It's hilarious how stressful a backlog can be...
@@17madman39 take your GameStop hate elsewhere. It's gotten old
17madman Every independent Mom ‘n Pop Shop is different. In fact, they are SO different that unless you are a regular customer with several stores in a locally owned chain, chances are that no two retro games stores are exactly alike, just like the composition of a snowflake. (Except a lot more extreme than that since small businesses are different in every town, state, province, country you visit!!) 😰
Bottom Line, Nintendo Life is a multinational team of online journalists- from both the USA and the UK, so it’s only fitting that they use a dedicated corporate chain with an international market presence for their video. Since GameStop is the last brick and mortar corporation to exclusively sell both used video games AND video gaming licensed merchandise, it only makes sense. 🤔
@@biozelink6086 I’ve got too many games to play that I’d love to play. I always get distracted my a tv show
the worst part about my backlog is that there’s a whole section of games that i just want to replay desperately and have a hard time juggling them with new games
isa Balance it out with a new game and then a game you’ve already played. Rinse and repeat
Haha this is me! I'm just replaying the Soulsborne ganes over and over again. I haven't touched like 12+ of the games I own :( adult life restricts free time and I just love Soulsborne games way too much.
What I’ve been doing is replaying a game while playing a new/backlogged game at the same time. For instance, I’m currently playing god of war again while playing RDR2. It’s actually helping me play thru RDR2
Lol I always feel like I never have time to finish a game but somehow I can finish my favorite game 5 times over
I have my backlog list organized and I put the replay games on the list
easy way to tackle your backlog: never play any of them and then make fun of the game to cope with the fact that everyone has played and enjoyed witcher 3 except you
Teddie From Persona 4 If it makes you feel better, I didn't enjoy it, so maybe you're not completely missing out?
Matthew Mazzetti
I’ve never been able to get into it for some reason.
Teddie From Persona 4
This is also my coping strat. Haha
My Son: The Doctor Gotta get past White Orchard and it’ll pick up
shortbread1818
Appreciate the advice. I’m most certainly not done trying.
I get kind of weird and moody about games. I have to be in a certain state of mind for certain genres and whatnot.
The Witcher is definitely appealing in all of its phantasmagoria, though. I’m going to take your advice for sure and start this week!
I really appreciate the input.
It's even harder when you like to read/watch movies/etc. There just isn't enough time :(
Omg yes, it bothers me an unhealthy amount lol
Right Between books, anime, and gaming ugh.
@@cinminroll7630 I have a backlog of youtube channels too! I like to watch all the backlog of videos when I sub to a new channel. I'm currently on 2015 for my most recently subbed.
@@AidanRatnage lol i sometimes do that too, i have a to do list for so many things! :O
@@cinminroll7630 yes, theres so much knowledge and culture out there, its overhwhelming!
My gut reaction to this was “we seriously need a video to tell us to manage our hobbies?” But I genuinely like the frame of “we need to make time for ourselves.” All of these come back to being intentional. Intentional timing for play, socialization, spending, and perspective. If I get anxious from a backlog of entertainment, I legitimately think it’s time for me to take a break to regain perspective. Great tips for life, not even just our hobbies. Well done!
Richard Hale a little while ago I made a decision to try to play video games for one hour a day. I am successful maybe every second day (playing on Switch really helps) and it’s been really good for my mood in general. It’s just an hour where I’m doing something I enjoy for me, something I don’t get a lot of and didn’t really realize how much I was missing!
@@yoda9109 I can totally relate to your experience. For a while, I was on autopilot with my career, thinking any break for fun/hobbies was a bad thing and something to feel guilty about. Then I got sick and was forced to take some days off where I allowed myself to play games and watch movies. It felt so good it made me realize I need a bit of that on a regular basis just to keep me from burning out. Seems like common sense now.
“I still need to finish Persona 5 and Witcher 3.”
See you in 5 years, then.
I played Persona 5 in "bursts". I played up Palace 4, one year pause, Palace 6, paused for a few months, then I didn't put it down until the end (P5 ROYAL).
Good thing the game is not overly complicated and I could pretty easily get into it again.
I really needed this😅
Another tip I can give is, don't be afraid to play on easier difficulties, it was the only way I could continue dragon age 2...
Wouter I replayed the Uncharted series a few years ago and discovered that those games are an absolute blast on easy mode. It really opened my eyes to the greatness of easy
Oh totally. Not every game needs to be played for bragging rights. Gaming should be about fun. If a game is boring on easier settings, that's different, but cranking it down a little so it is enjoyable is a good tip. You can always return to it at another time and make it harder if you want.
Nightmare mode is the only way to play Dragon Age 2. Otherwise you are just watching a movie. And the story and characters in that game are so boring. The gameplay is why it's good. And playing on easy mode takes away the one good thing about it so no 😂
I wasn't enjoying Horizon Zero Dawn too much, I even got stuck in a particular level and stopped paying the game for a solid 8 months. I came back to it after that with fresh eyes, dropped the difficulty and now can definitively say it's been one of my favourite gaming experiences yet!
@@neilkurien I might need to do this, Horizon Zero Dawn is fun but I'm stuck and haven't played for months because of it
Drop everything and play Golden Sun obviously.
wish Nintendo & Camelot would make a 4th game already....Dark Dawn's cliffhanger is still driving me nuts :/
newageBoundhippie That cliffhanger ruined it for me. Game felt incomplete
Perfect timing for quarantine
This is what I did until now to try to finish my backlog:
1)only play normal mode in every game
2)always look for guide on internet if you have a hard time solving certain puzzle
3)stop playing online multiplayer games
4) focus on the main story and try avoid side story
And ignore achievements/trophies.
Jan G yeah I’m at the point where I play a game and complete on my terms.
If bored.. Just watch speedrun 😁
I always catch up with my bavklog cuz Nintendo forgets that the first 6 months of the year exists 🙄
Due to this reason I’ve actually been playing my retro games such as SNES, GameCube and PS2 games recently.
I've been telling this to people since January- catch up on backlog because September alone was packed
Been working on my backlog the past four years and am down to the last 14 out of my 980 games. Definitely agree with these tips! It's a long journey but it's been satisfying to look back at the hundreds of classics I finally got around to since I started.
Wait you can beat multiple hundred games in one year? Would you say most of them are pretty short games?
We need to know how this was possible lol
Impossible, my backlog is literally just rpg's...😬
Let me guess Dragon Quest XI?
@Tay Versatile I myself am currently playing back-to-back with Dragon Quest VI and VIII. And also playing Y's VIII.
Lol same. My backlog is over 800 games long now and around 350 of those games are RPGs. JRPGs especially. Most of them are like 40-70 hours long too and I play games pretty slowly. My backlog is an unruly beast.
Me too
@Tay Versatile pls add persona to this list
4:04 AKA: put away your technology to focus on your technology.
It does help though
@@mrbee15 never had that problem. If you have to urge to go on your phone instead of the game, the game most likely is not holding your attention and is not very enjoyable.
suppacoo unless you hit a loading screen
@@TheRealSlimShady509 no duh XD. We all pop our phones out for that.
I like to do the three course approach. When I get home I am alone for about 1 hour before my wife gets back so I play Smash as an appetizer. Then I spend time with the wife until she gets tired around 9. Then I play Persona 5 for about 2 hours as a main course. Then at 11pm I play Megaman Zero series for about 15-30 minutes as a dessert.
Appetizer: Smash (30min-1 hour)
Main Course: Persona 5 (2 hours)
Dessert: Megaman Zero Collection (15-30 min)
anthony savage that’s seems really good! I normally go with Super Smash Bros., god of war and tomodachi life
3 and a half hours of gaming everyday is kind of crazy for people to do. Between work, significant other, kids, bills, chores/errands, and whatever else, I don't see how married adults can do it. Unless you luck out with a significant other who also loves playing games. Then I can see people being able to play a couple hours a day (get it?). Otherwise, backlog is impossible to clear out.
Time vampire is a good way to put it. I stopped playing League of legends last year, been playing games with ending since
As a 32yo with a full-time job, family and other time-consuming hobby it's really challenging to keep on with gaming. But I think I'm doing pretty well as I've been already using most of tips you mentioned.
I miss a bit old days when, as a kid, I'd keep playing same game at a time for long period as I couldn't afford/convince parents for more games. There was much different appreciation of the game, but might be I'm an ol'timer already :-)
So reckognizable
@@Rosbergen80 Plus a lot of games right now are massive and take so long, or if you have a subscription service you feel almost obligated to play those games
As a 24 year old with a full time job, I think sometimes about taking an entire week off work and playing a shit ton of games.
@@shanez1215 I won't lie, I've booked in holidays at work for a day off at a big release
That backlog "monster" was actually really hilarious
When I was young I could play like 10 games at once. How I can only play one multiplayer and one single player game at a time. Otherwise it starts to become too much.
I like the tip of having a separate stack for the games you intend to play! The visual reminder, especially seeing it go down would definitely be motivating lol
Best advice I've given myself: With very few exceptions, dont buy Day One. These days, they go on sale a month after release. Except of course Nintendo first party titles. But, I did wait to get Mario Maker 2 on Mar10 day.
Yeah, Nintendo games, just buy them now if you want to play them. Do you really want to wait 2 years to save 10 dollars? That's depressing.
I love seeing this video get so good reception by people. I thought some could think of this as too much of a "first world problem", but it actually is really important to allow us some quality time for our hobbies, and Games are something really important to a lot of us (they are made with a lot of love after all) and in the end, having better free time let's us rest better and be happier, which is a really healthy thing. So this is a really, really great video idea in my opinion. Thank you very much for this!
This is a great approach and I appreciate it! My backlog for each console has gotten quite of hand. I've watched other videos over the years but I feel like your approach is actually the one that's going to work for me. So now I have my list of ten games I plan on playing within the next year! Finally I can actually beat some of the games I've been wanting to beat for the last 10 to 20 years.
Great and helpful video! Between having a 40 hour work week and wanting to also make appropriate time with my wife/friends/family along with my other hobbies, I find playing for roughly 45 minutes to an hour every night before going to bed usually works perfectly for me. And having a structure of some kind (one main game along with some smaller "back pocket" games - not to mention games my wife and I like to play together) makes choice overload less of a problem. Thanks so much. :)
This is seriously good advices that I needed now that I'm about to expand my family. Thank you so much.
This video will be a big help to me. Over the years I have collected so many games, and I find it very difficult to stay focused and beat many of them. Always getting distracted and other things, so I will try my best to follow this.
Owning a snes classic made my backlog hell, I went from not needing to play many to having to beat an extra 10 games.
This was so great! Zion is awesome, the tips were helpful, and I love how the video was shot. 👍🏼
Dude, guys, why stress yourself. Make peace with the fact that being a completionist is absolutely unnecessary. Just chill and play what comes up and enjoy the ride. The game has to EARN it's right to be played by us
This is a really great video I have been trying to clear my back log across 4 systems for ages, will deffo you some of these tips 👍
This video was great. The backlog affects us all. I think some of the best tips are, stick to one big game and have smaller ones in-between. Play in easy, no shame. Make a stack and do your best to stick with it. I normally fail at all of these haha!
Great advices, thanks for making a full video on backlogs
Best video so far Zion. You're making more fun and valuable content everytime I see a video of you coming online. This one was great. I will use some of your ideas to focus finising all these games during the corona lockdown here in The Netherlands :D!!
Daan! Seriously, thank you so much! It means the world to hear that :) We wish you the best of luck on your backlog! - Zion
Loved the intro ! Ok , nice video , this is good .
I don’t know how much I can apply with my short attention span, but I admit these are helpful tips .
adds this video to my "watch later" playlist, never to be watched
I never had internet up until last year and I’m experiencing my first real issue with my back log. I used to buy 2 or 3 second hand games and clear them over the month but now that I’m doing better financially my backlog is at its worst. Now social media distracts me and I no longer pick up strategy guides. This video has given me somewhat of a second wind and I’m gonna make a good use of my time in this self quarantine to clear my backlog of 30+ games. Tomorrow I’ll be starting by finally doing a full playthrough of Resident Evil 4. Wish me luck!
Thank you for this video. Seriously. I LOVE video games. It's my favorite hobby. But I have other hobbies I love, own my own business and have a family of 5 to support. I struggle to find even a couple of hours each week to play. I really want a Switch pretty bad, but have a hard time justifying it when I still have a HUGE backlog of Wii U, XBOX 360, and 3DS games. Always feel like I'm late to the party, because a game is usually several years old before I can even pick it up, I just started playing BOTW on the Wii U a month ago! One thing that helps is I like to listen to gaming podcast. I just really wish there were more gaming podcasts that discussed older games instead of just current games. Sometimes when I finally do get to a new game I'll research old podcasts to listen to.
Great video! This video is exceptionally thought out and well executed. Nice work!
Thank you so much for this. My issues is a Steam Backlog but many of the concepts absolutely apply. This video helped me focus on and finish Assassin's Creed IV
A week ago, i started writing out what games i had in my backlog to determine which ones i should play. Then today this video comes up on my feed confirming i was doing the right thing & warnings to avoid such as buying games on sale. Haha. Thanks Nintendo Life!
Oh man, the bane of my life! Especially seeing as I mostly play games on PC where new games are flying at you continuously and sales are almost always too hard to resist. I would say making lists and making yourself accountable is the best advice. On Steam I sort my library of games into Current, Next, High, Medium, Low priority. It's really hard to make the call sometimes but keeping the Current and Next lists small is the crucial element. I also physically keep a diary of games I start and write down when I finish them and give a quick rating out of 10. This makes me feel more invested in the games I am playing rather than those I am not. But also, just as is said in the video, don't feel guilty for dropping something off your 'currently playing' list. You can always come back to it in a couple years time, just knock it down a rung of the priority ladder.
A really fantastic and massively helpful video. This is just the kind of thing I needed to hear. Thank you so much :-)
Oh no, this make me feel Bad, I have a problem buying and buying games for My switch.
Edit: not that I have lots of money to spare, I actually have a problem putting priority things below my switch games.
Armando Moncada I’ve been there. I can’t even play them all.
Especially when they're super duper on sale!
My backlog is bigger than anyone in the world. Yet, I still buy new games and still have all the time in the world for all my games lol. 😊
I already figured all of this out myself before I watched this video, but it's good advice, and the website mentioned is a good recommendation, and I suppose stacking the games is a good physical representation of the backlog and shows my progression.
Love this video! Keep the good work!
Aah, I remember actually doing just that! Had goals to finish RDR2, Shenmue 2, and more with games I want to finish stacked up and helped a lot! I was able to finish Rdr2 especially when I had my save gone halfway through and Shenmue 2 so I could get my hands on Shenmue 3 which I finished quick as well!
I really needed this video! I just got a ps5 yesterday so my backlog is growing even bigger. However I loved the idea of having a schedule and not being afraid to move on. I have to remember...Nobody is going to care if you beat x game. If you want to see what happens look it up and move on.
This was such a well made video, I watched it again. I rarely do that!
Great video! The perfect moment to post it!
I pretty much automatically love a video if Zion is in it! I really appreciate his positive attitude and humor.
Thank you Robert!! I greatly appreciate hearing that! 😄
@@Ziondood You're welcome! I hope you know that we appreciate you.
This is actually a great video. Thanks!
This video was actually very informative and relevant. Thanks for the useful tips!
When Zion called his friend lmaoooo. This is completely out the window on Friday bc Animal Crossing will take over my entire gaming life. So for the next 2 days I’ll do this haha.
I usually will play it through all the way before starting a new game, I love having physical guides because I can always have my references on hand, plus there’s usually a way to track the collectibles.
COVID-19. My shop shutting down due to it last week, as well as my state officially issuing a stay-at-home order, certainly gives me some extra time to try to figure out what to do and where to get started on my backlog.
Love your house setup mate!
I’m so happy to see Rocket there. That was such a great game and I miss it so much.
I'm going to be buying New Horizons. Any thought of getting to the back log are laughable.
Bill Cook SAME
Get the arrows that destroy parts instantly
I hear you
@@Whocareslol420 this one is meant to change that a bit with more to do and goals to reach, other islands to visit and stockpile etc. Depends on your playstyle, personally I can spend hours at a time just relaxing in these games.
@@CardmanOfficial I can't wait to sink loads of hours in, and because all the seasons change there is always stuff to look forward to.
5:43 I've been playing too many video games at once for a while, and there's so many I want to play
It really helps me to switch to a Twitch streamer/You Tube gamer mentality. You can't start a game, do a couple of streams and then abandon it forever, or else your viewers will go away or won't remember anything. At least I force myself to finish the main story, then I can come back for post-game whenever I want.
I needed this, my backlog has is so high I've started playing old games in one long nighttime session on the weekend
something that helps me is playing my handheld backlog games either during my breaks or lunch at work. And since i almost only play RPG's I tend to just grind the crap out of one on my days off (however I also have an Anime backlog so typically i spend 1 day off on anime and 1 day off on games) and if I end up having plans that day I always bring my handheld backlog games along in case I find the time
Thought that background was greenscreened at first lol
also I have over 140 games..
In total or backlogged? Latter would be critical..
This is how I’ve been approaching it now that I have a bit more time. Great strategies!
This is awesome! Thank you for this
One tip I have is to always have something to play on a handheld you can easily carry with you. Something pick up and play that you can play when you get those small opportunities in the day.
Great tips.
I have started making a concerted effort on my backlog, and focusing on one game really helps, though I'm not totally strict on it and allow myself the odd binge with a few different games. I also allow myself one main home console title (ie something on the Wii or PS2, e.g. I just finished Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and am now getting into No More Heroes) as well as one on a portable device (just finished Hotel Dusk: Room 215 on DS and am resuming FFVI on GBA).
Buying games is an issue, but I am also trying to trade in games I am not massively into. I did that with about 5 or 6 games the other day and bought 3 as a replacement. Not as disciplined as I want to be, but it's still a reduction.
I also think having a break with a short game after a super long one is wise, unless you have a tonne of time, which I don't.
Great video! It helped me a lot. PS. I always had a large backlog and now I've beaten 4 games in one week.
That's actually fucking awesome! I wish I could do that.
I already do all of these and it helps a ton with ONE BIG EXCEPTION: I play lots of games at the same time. But it's to find one that really sticks, so I know what's worth my time and what isn't interesting to me at the moment. There's no better way to find out which games you love and which you can sell/trade/say goodbye to than dipping your toes in a bunch of them!
Very practical advice. Thank you :)
Thank you! With this pandemic I have a whole month of free time, so I’m tackling that backlog!
lmao so i saw this thumbnail awhile ago and i decided i would put it on my watch later list. kinda ironic how a video about tackling a backlog ended up on my backlog
Thanks. This video really helped me. I really do need to be more organized with my games cause it sometimes gets hard for me to choose which game to complete or stay on. I have so many games that it's hard for me to just stick to playing one.
1:31 I really love your content bro it makes my day better
This self quarantine has really helped me finish some of my backlogs. I've finished 2 games on my switch and 1 game on my ps4. Looking forward to finishing more games while at home. I ain't buying new games for now. No work, no money. Just play whatever i have.
Most helpful! Thanks!
Splatoon 2 used to be my time vampire, but once I stopped playing as much to focus on other games, I had much more fun with Splatoon 2 whenever I did play.
Liked for the kitty, also these tips are super helpfull!
Mole Mania!!!!!! Not enough people talk about that game. I loved it. such a great game.
Hi Zion. Thank you so much for this advice. I want to get more into gaming but I’m a huge movie and tv person I always get distracted my Netflix, Disney plus etc.. I have so many games I wish to play and I work in between so this advice will help.
Thanks for your comment Jack! I wish you the best of luck friend. It’s definitely easy to throw on a show, so I feel your pain haha
@@Ziondood haha thanks. I’ve ordered a pro controller so hopefully that’ll help me a little. I’m so far behind on my switch games.
@@Ziondood hi, can I also ask on any advice on how to concentrate or focus more on a game? I’ve found that it’s one of my problems which I want to solve and go further into gaming.
Zion is so cute 💜
And this video was.really needed. I have a ridiculous amount of games and this gave me the motivation to sort them out into will play and sell piles. Let's hope I actually get to do those 😅
I got sooo many to play..Destiny 2 (maybe its such a grind and a chore to play sometimes) Luigis mansion 3, Paper Mario: The Origami King, bunch of vr games, overwhelming
I've been playing games that have nice chunks. This week I want to finish this chapter of the visual novel, or I want to reach the next town in this RPG. It really helped making the games more wasy to digest!
Backlog beast xD cheers haven't laughed like that in ages
0:29 LAMO THIS IS A MOOD THAT I HAVE
Talking to a friend while playing 3 Houses has made it so much more fun!
I love this, so I've had my Steam Account for 12 years, with 900+ games I just purchased on a whim because it was on sale or in a bundle! I just recently got really depressed and deleted my account, starting a new one and promising myself I'm only gonna buy games I REALLY want to play, and will play through them. Starting from scratch feels better because I know I only want the games I've loved and beat already or ones that I just really wanna play through! I'm also gonna focus more on indie titles since those I love so much more than AAA! Though there will still be a few (Elden Ring 😏).
Great video :)
Ngl this game made me laugh so much
In my house games are considered a distraction and I thought this was so funny to look at it like I normally look at books
I'm trying to get into games more because I really enjoy them but I dont have my own console so I'm saving up for a Nintendo switch rn (because I dont have access for a tv to use) and I'm obsessed with watch videos on anything gaming and switch
The battle between going back to old games you wanna finish and not wanting to have to relearn everything mid game.
This lifted such a huge weight off my shoulders. Not because it helps w the backlog, but because I feel less alone in being too lazy and unfocused to play a damn video game sometimes.
Actualy very helpfull video, thanks a lot
just the video i needed!
Great video!
This is what I did:
1) Downloaded an app called Backlog
2) I proceeded to enter every game that I have that I want to play
3) MOST IMPORTANT DECISION: Accept I will not play all of them. An that is ok. In reality, not all of them are really MUST PLAY.
4) Delete games I will not play: Mostly games that I have already played, or re release games. For example, have I played Persona 5, I would not play Persona 5 Royal.
5) I do not go for achievements.
6) REALIZE THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PLAY EVERYTHING IN ONE YEAR. YOU CAN EXTEND THOSE GAMES IN MULTIPLE YEARS. For example, I have a couple of Dragon Quest games: V, VI, VII and IX. I could easily play one of those per year, or two per year. It depends on what is coming out in the future. Which leads me to the next part of the topic.
7) Remember that some old games, can come out in the future as remastered version. For example, I will leave DQ IX to play at last, because it is heavily rumored that a Switch version may come out. That would automatically, put DQIX out of my backlog an into my new games list. I did this with Dark Souls Remastered.
How to deal with new releases
I do not fool myself, I will be buying new games. If I wait until I am done with my backlog, I will not be buying new games until after 1 year. So the question is, how do I mix my BACKLOG with new games? Here is what I do:
1) Made the decision that I was not going to play everything. That I would set aside only a couple of hours a week to play. That number (5-6 hours) times the amount of weeks per year (52) will give me the result of how many hours I will play per year, in my case that would between 260 - 312 hours. Some weeks I will not play anything, but this time I make up on holidays, sick days, etc. Is not like I keep a journal, it just comes natural. With the number of hours I play a year, I came to the conclusion that I will only play 10-12 games per year. This 10-12 will be a mix of old games and new games.
2) Decided not to buy games on release date. I decided to wait for reviews to see which ones are the MUST PLAY category. Obviously there will be some guilty pleasures in those lists.
3) Stop buying multiple games at one when I buy a new game. I will buy one or two, that is it. Usually a long game with a short game.
making a list is the number one priority. Stablishing the order of the games you want to play will make you go for them in an organised way,. If you leave one of your favorite games or one that interests you the most in the last spot of the list will also work as an ecouragement to keep playing.
I realized my backlog is a problem when I just beat Halo 1 for the first time today thank you for the tips!
"Work or school might be taking up your time so you can't play." Coronavirus:
recently it just clicked, i just finished zelda a link to the past, then finished naruto ultimate ninja storm 2 lol random, i'm thinking about going for chrono trigger but it might be too long, i don't know
i usually can't keep my attention in one game, i have a backlog since the early 90's lol
