Nope, I bought Snowrunner this week and I'm having a great time with it, I would not be having a great time with most of my "backlog". There's a reason unplayed games stay unplayed.

Letme go finish all of Eu4 real quick
See, I'm not buying new games anytime soon because I don't want to upgrade my PC.
My 1070 seems to still be trucking along for most things.
That's the plan for 2024. No new games until I beat the ones I have now.
No! you're not my mommy!
Project zomboid.... finish project zomboid... I have 900hrs in the game is that considered finished
I finally finished Wrath of the Righteous. Maybe I'll finish Kingmaker in 2024.
I spent days in Wraith wandering around on the army map with just my party before finally figuring out I had an actual army too. Now I can't find my camp to rest up in lol. It might be a failed campaign.
Don't turn off the Context Tips, people.
A rare moment of rationality from Asuka.
Hahaha no
Five Nights at Freddy 3
I would never buy a game again. What is the fun in that? (My backlog of owned, but unplayed or unfinished games is in the thousands)
I'm not much of a gamer, so games are more like curiosities or toys to me.
I like to get in and see the styles and mechanics, but I don't have much time patience or skill to complete any of them.
I just appreciate them like art, I guess.
The PS5 shortage sucked but it helped me play and finish all the PS4 games I wanted to play, except for GoT which I completed recently.
I'm mostly using my PS5 to play PS4 games, if I'm being honest.
Buy?
I heard of this "buying" in regards of games, but I'm still a bit confused. There is another way to obtain them than loading and donating?
Unpopular opinion: a lot of games have an artificial massive skill cliff right at the game's climax that ruins the mood.
Some people collect platinum trophies and call it done, I hit about 99% and call it done. We are not the same.
Edit: Example - Dark Souls. I flew through the game with a bastard sword, medium rolling and smashing everything in my path. Can't beat Gwyn because I never learned to parry. Yeah, I need to get gud, but that's hardly a sane skill progression, even for Dark Souls.
I've played all the souls games, bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden ring (and love them all), and I'm complete ass at parrying. Aside from Sekiro where you have to, I never really learned. I've just beaten every single game by dodging or blocking.
Point taken. Guess I should dust off my save and give it a go. Thank you. :)
blocking
Oh no, we don't do that here.
Lol, it's more of a desperation move when there's some attack that I just can't figure out how to avoid.
I cant. Fuck elden ring at this point. Fuck it very much. Its nice, its good. But I'm done dying.
Starfield is a dog. That's 60 euros down the drain. I never see me complete that.
Telltale the Expanse was good, as a prequel to the show. Not as a game.
God of war is mediocre. That's not a game. That's a collection of pretty pictures with a prompt to mash specific button xyz. Another 40 euro lost.
Cyberpunk was and is great. But I've completed it 7 or 8 times now. Phantom liberty does break the game though, too many legendary weapons and mods which break the balance. But still, nice story, a lot to do.
I bought something else also this year. That was also shit.
AAA games are shit these days.
