Your Gaming Collection & The Backlog Blitz

[Chris Lionheart]

E3 is upon us, and I already have a small army of games I am interested in checking-out in 2012/2013 before the next generation of consoles hits. After some money problems I've also cleared-out some of the games I knew I would never get around to playing, realistically. So I figured it was time to draw up a revised list of what I have in my collection, and get cracking on the old backlog.

Backlog Blitz Rules:
* If you finish a game in your backlog, it counts as +1.
* If you buy or otherwise acquire a new game, that counts as -1.
* The goal is to have as high a number as possible.

Note: To 'finish' a game simply means that you're not prepared to play it any longer, not necessarily that you've seen the end credits or maxed-out the Achievements/Trophies.

That's kinda bullshit. If you can't finish what you started. Then you might as well not even play the game. Even if it sucks. At least play the game til the end credits roll. Hell, I did that with Duke Nukem of all games a year ago. Sure, it was bad. But I stuck with it til I completed it.

[Chris Lionheart]

Perhaps. But you know in your heart if you're ever going to play a game again. If you're done with it, you're done with it. No point having it sat on your shelf contributing to your backlog.

[Chris Lionheart]

The backlog will mostly be for games which I need to get around to playing for the purposes of knowing if I should keep them or get rid of them. There are some special games which I am itching to find the time to Re-Play which are specifically noted, which have already been finished properly (credits roll) previously.

For the purposes of keeping the list easier to maintain PS3 also includes PSN downloadable games, and Xbox360 also includes XBLA.

Games Finished: +50
There will be four 'finished' categories which will be counted as pluses, taking numbers away from the negative total each time a game is purchased, thus adding to the backlog. These are:

1. Games I won't play on any more.
Perhaps I tried them and didn't like them, or perhaps I used-to like the game but have no reason to return to it. I'm not going to play on them ever again, so I am effectively 'finished' with them.

[colbydonnelly]

I consider games completed when I beat everything inside & out and get all the achievements nowadays on the newer consoles of today.. If I leave it collecting dust then it's incomplete/unfinished to me

I cannot recall all the games I beat from the Atari, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, N64, PS2 days to list them lol.
