Indecisive? Use this thread. List some games from your backlog. First person to directly reply to your post determines what you play.

Dragon's Dogma

My backlog has hundreds of games in it, so I would be here all day if I tried listing it.
>>
>>341585589

Dude, my backlog has over 100 games. I just listed a few that I was interested in playing. Will be going to Dragon's Dogma soon, thank you.

I will never dig myself out of this pit.
>>
I don't understand the sentiment that every game deserves to be completed. Like shit, if it was worth your time, you'd already be playing it. Most things just aren't good.
>>
>>341585780
Not OP here, but I am a massive completionist, so even if a game is bad, it's likely that I would complete it out of compulsion, unless it's unplayable.
>>
>>341585780

Not every game deserves to be completed. But the way things are now most dedicated game enthusiasts just don't have time to finish everything they want to finish.

We have access to more games now than ever before. Thousands of games are at every person's fingertips for free simply for having a working computer and an internet connection.

People buy up dozens and dozens of games on Steam sales but then don't have time to adequately play them all. And then new games are constantly coming out on top of all this. It can be overwhelming.

Not every game DESERVES to be completed. No one should feel compelled to complete Bubsy 3D. But most people don't have 100 copies of Bubsy waiting for them on Steam. If you don't think a game is worth it then remove it from your backlog. But for most people that still leaves a LOT of games.
>>
>>341586043
Alright I hear you, let me look for some games. I found:
>Bionic Commando (2009)
>Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
>Binary Domain (with microphone?)
>Minerva: Metastasis
>Grim Fandango: Remastered
>>
>>341586747

Bloodlines. Get into that shit, son. Get enthralled. It's worth it. Turn the lights down, have a drink or two, get in character.
>>
>>341585464
Is that Azure Sheep?
>>
>>341586747
Well Bionic Commando is short as fuck so you could knock that off your list in 1-2 days.
>>
>>341587316

That's always a conundrum for these things. You could go with the games that are shortest first.

But if you intend to finish it all then you'd eventually get to the longer ones anyway.

Playing Bionic Commando and then Deus Ex will take the same amount of time as doing the opposite, right?

You could also play two at once. A few hours of a long game, then an hour or so of a shorter game once you start to feel like you're getting sick of the first one.
>>
>>341585464
My backlog list hit 1500 games the start of this month. Good luck getting me to post all that in here.
>>
>>341587756

Ain't gotta post 'em all. Just post a few that you're interested in if you can't decide what to play and then /v/ decide for you.

Post just five. Hell, post twenty!
>>
>>341587316
>>341587475
Jokes on you I'm already halfway through, and boy is that game mediocre. At least the swinging feels good and the animation is lovely.

>>341587756
It's time to trim the fat. Or do >>341587880, but the odds are there's a WHOLE heap of complete garbage in that list so who gives a shit.
>>
I'm currently working to make my list empty, finished two games in the last two days, but I'm not sure what to play next.

>Metro 2033
>Life is Strange
>Salt and Sanctuary
>Child of Light
>Ori and the Blind Forest

Metro 2033.
>>
>>341588181
bioshock
>>341588118
nier
>>
>>341588118

Playing an entire series tends to be a bad idea. Easy to lose interest halfway through. Go one at a time.

From that list I'd say start with Nier.
>>
>>341588118
Just play Silent Hill 1-3 and you've seen it all.
>>
>>341586747

You haven't completed VtMB? How far are you in? It's absolutely worth finishing it, I like replaying it every once in a while. Make sure you get the unofficial patch, it makes a world of difference.

Also Minerva might not be worth it nowadays, it's as bland as HL itself. It would be cool back in the 2000's.
>>
>>341588223
>>341588209

Alright, going to start it up later today. Hope I don't get fucked over like in Last Light.

Not him but I played through RE1-5 backs to back and had a real blast, barely any fatigue. RE5 was awful but I really had to stop once I got to RE6.
>>341588375
Haven't touched it. Probably because of all I heard about the technical problems and shitty combat.

I agree. For me, it's enough to try the game before marking it as "Finished With". If I like the game I'll play until completion, there's no need to force myself to finish something. This happens the most on GOG where I can get a shit ton of games for almost nothing, and then play each one for 30-60 minutes before getting bored or turned off due to the age.

Here's my backlog, up for anything other than BG/IWD right now.

>>341585464
Dragon's Dogma

>>341586747
Vampire TMB

>>341588036
Life is Strange. It's pretty short and easy to do if completing games is your foremost goal.

>>341588118
VTMB

>>341588181
Disgaea
>>
>>341585464
Gunslinger is short and fun

>>341588036
Metro is sweet

>>341588118
VTMB

>>341588181
Bioshock

I am going to try and be productive this summer and decrease the size of my backlog. I managed to play quite a bit last summer. The only problems that i have is adventure games. I only play them when i am in a certain mood and you can hardly play them when you are relaxing and listening to other stuff.

Forgot image, how embarrassing.

>>341589068
I also see no reason to force myself completing something. I play it until i lose interest in it and with the prices on pc games today i usually get my moneys worth out of most game. Buying a game you don't like is bad enough without forcing you to waste your time on them.
>>
>>341588736

The latest unofficial patch fixes any technical problems and the combat is honestly not that bad. Its great, there's a reason everyone loves it.
>>
Why do I prefer replaying old games for the fiftieth time instead of completing new games for the first time, /v/?

I replayed it recently with the unofficial path and even though it was certainly fun it wasn't bug free. I had to restart the game after playing for half and hour since my character has been created without fists.

are oath in felghana and FTL any good?

was thinking of adding them to my backlog.
>>
>>341589706
FTL is really fun.
>>
>>341589706

Oath in Felghana is good. But then again, I'm a huge Ys fan in general.

Haven't played FTL.

>>
>Bayonetta
>DKC: Tropical Freeze
>Jade Empire

>>341589836
Gun Metal is a quick and fun game. Then I'd do Castle crushers and whatever afterwards. Finish with overlord since its the worst out of the lot ( fun for first 30 minutes)
>>
>>341585464
>Monaco
unless you have some friends to play this with you, you can ignore that one entirely

Fire Emblem: Awakening
New Vegas (Finished the main quest, finishing DLC and trying out different allegiances)
Red Dead Redemption
Dark Souls 2
Temple of Elemental Evil (started multiple times, always eventually get distracted by something else)
Arcanum (same)
>>
>>341593905
If you've never played red dead, probably get in that now.
>>
>>341594339
I've played but never got particularly far. I always get sucked into the poker minigame for too long and burnt out on the main quest.
>>
>>341593905
New Vegas ( Old World blues 1st for loot, honest hearts, dead money and lonesome Road for DLC order)

Then play FE Awakening
>>
>>341585464
I was literally JUST making a list of them for myself. Good idea for a thread!

Part of my backlog are replays of games I love, since it’s been a long time and DLC came out for them that I never touched.

Ori and the Blind Forest
Dishonored 1 (replay) w/ DLC
Fallout New Vegas (replay) w/ DLC
Fallout 4 (never finished)
The Witness (never finished)
BioShock 2 (replay) w/ DLC
Vampire, the Masquerade: Bloodlines
System Shock 1
Thief 1 – The Dark Project
Jedi Knight II – Jedi Outcast (replay)
Metro – Last Light
Hyper Light Drifter (never finished, DS3 came out)
FFX (replay, first time for PC)
Superhot (never finished, DS3 came out)
Cave Story+
Invisible Inc.
Subnautica.

Heck, recommend as many as you want
>>
>>341588181
BioShock
>>341589957
Thief: The Dark Project, followed by Thief 2, if you enjoyed it. 2 is much better, and that's saying something.
>>341592937
BioShock (I assume XIII was Final Fantasy?)
>>
