Work and life in general leaves me less and less time to entertain myself these days. The result is a shamefull back log of really amazing games :(

I cancelled my pre-orders for the next 6 months because its becoming pointless to pay full price on day one when there is no way I'll get round to them any time soon.

Heres my list. What have you guys got????

Alan Wake
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den
Black Ops (single player)
Chronicles of Riddick Dark Athena
Dead Space 2
Fable III(+DLC)
God of War III
Halo Reach
Halo 3: ODST
Killzone 3
Red Dead Redemption
Splinter Cell Conviction
007 Bloodstone

Theres a few more but these are the big ones

Mines is awful too. Its got ridiculously out of control and i've started to slowly chip at it in the past few months but I just realise some of it is just a lost cause now, especially when i want to play new releases (and this year is PACKED!!!). I have learned my lesson now to control myself during steam sales, that is what really set it over the edge =(

Also I need to not only get games when they're cheaper but when i know i have time for them e.g. i didnt buy KZ3 today in the play.com deal as right now i'm playing double agent from my backlog and there is too much other stuff this month for me aswell:

brotherhood dlc
castlevania dlc
back to the future ep 3
crysis 2
beyond good and evil hd on PSN?
from dust?

yea hopefully i will control myself in future, sad thing is i've heard far worse than me on neogaf D=

right now my backlog is:

Console:
Splinter Cell Double Agent (original xbox version)
Prince of Persia Trilogy
Super Meat Boy
Demon's Souls

PC:
Monkey Island 2 & Tales of Monkey Island
Call of Duty & United Offensive
Penumbra
Amnesia
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines
The Witcher
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky & Call of Pripyat
Call of Cthulhu
Cryostasis
The Void

this is also after excising games i mentioned as lost causes such as cheap indie games from packs on steam or old ps1/ps2 games

Sigh I'm starting to go through the same.

Ps3:
infamous (I'm at the end but I don't know why I won't finish it)
Bayonetta(this one honestly just bores me)
Darksiders(I'm actually at the tower)
Demon souls(I KEEP GETTING INVADED!)
Dead space 2 w/ dlc and extraction( I just bought this)
Eternal sonata(I got nothing >.>)
Killzone 2(I'm at the end but I got lost in multiplayer then I let my friend borrow and he hasn't given it back yet!)
Resistance 2(I know the ending but I just have to know everything else.....)
Naruto ultimate ninja storm 2( this still counts)
Cross edge(oh I just have a feeling its long so I'm avoiding playing it)
Sports champions doesn't count right?
Re5 dlc(I have a friend to play it with but I can't play it with all 5 of them!)
Oblivion( sigh* I don't know... smh)
Mass effect 2( if I start it I won't stop so I'm avoiding it)
Star ocean the last hope( tears* this is becoming depressing)

The sad thing is I'm about to buy:

Quantum theory( heck its 20 bucks)
Enslaved(again 20 bucks why not)
3d dot game hero(smh... 20 bucks)
Ninja gaiden sigma 2( this needs no explaination)
Micheal jackson experience( ...... heeee HEEee....)
Mk9( I'm a fighting game nerd I have to get them)

My ps1 classics:
Vagrant story
Xenogears
Souikoden
Grandia
Spyros(damn you ps+)
Wild arms(I've had this for 2 years... smh)

Psn:
Just zombie apocalypse(even though I beat dead nation)

Dudes I'm screwed and I got a kid too!lol

Yeah, I'm just not buying anything unless it's on a "never to be repeated" offer. Which usually just applies to the downloadable stuff.

There are games I want, but I'll pick them up for next to nothing when I eventually (lol) have the time.

@ AHA-Lambda - Its funny you should mention the generation 6 version of Double Agent. I only realised that there are 2 different versions (by 2 different devs) last month.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Clancy%27s_Splinter_Cell:_Double_Agent#Generation_Seven_version

My little mind was blown, im a massive Splinter Cell fan and was kicking myself for not knowing this. The general consensus it that the G6 version is the better one, better story, more gadgets. I picked this up on ebay for £12 and when I get round to it im going to play that and then Conviction back to back.

@ Psychotext - Damn. Thats a pretty big list, and I thought mines was getting out of control LOL. BTW Bioshock 2 is MUCH better than what people say, this is quite controversial but I think its BETTER than Bioshock, more refined controls and a MUCH better story.

@ lexph3re - Thats quite a list too. Avoid Quantum Theory LOL!! I just finished RE5 DLC a couple of weeks ago, Lost in Nightmares is absolutely fantastic, made me dig out RE Zero and RE REmake (Wii versions) and fire them up on Dolphin Emulator. They look gooooood at 1080p...

Nothing! \o/

I only buy a new game when I'm finished with the previous game (and am bored of all my older games.)

I'm pretty shocked by the amount of games you guys own, but have yet to finish - or potentially even play.

I know we're all fans, and I'll snap up the occasional game if I see it at a bargain price. But holy sh1t when are you realistically ever going to make it through all of thise stockpiled titles?????

My brother does this. Buys game after game after game. He's probably only completed about 5 of these in as many years.

Considering the low re-sale value on most games, I can't help but think this is just plain crazy!!

"I'm pretty shocked by the amount of games you guys own, but have yet to finish - or potentially even play."

Yes, same here. I bought less games over the passed 15 years for the three consoles I own than some of you have on your list.

It's that problem called...day one buys :)

I remember when ( i think it was 2008,at the end) Fable II came out, Dead Space, Midnight Club LA, Fallout 3 and so on. And guess what...i bought them all. And when i did so, i didn't even know what to play anymore. Nowadays i try to ease that down. I would love to buy Dragon Age 2 now but i won't, cause i have to finish Origins and the DLCs first.

But i just know damn well..when Crysis 2 comes out, LA Noire, and so on. I'll buy them all, all the same,lol.

^^ Day-one-itus. A common illness cured only by buying them all. This shit consumes me. Oh yeh and I heard that the Signature Edition of Dragon Age 2 is limited LMAO ;)

The only pre-order I didnt cancel is L.A Noire :)

That's why I don't play that game any more. It's just a waste of money.

Far better to pick games up when you actually have the time to play them. Shame it took me so long to learn that lesson though.

Oh boy, wish I would've waited till today before I bought quantum theory.lol I picked it up last night after work. Welp, I guess soon enough ill know if I like it or not. Oh yeah I forgot I have to beat spiderman web of shadows as well...... I think I'm gonna make my son beat it when he learns how to use a controller.lol

Mass Effect 2 (completed on xbox360 3 times and once on PC...still working on PS3)
Call of Duty Black Ops (first COD i havnt platinumed. I actually hate the game so i wont even complete the campaign)

(all of the other 30 PS3 games i have are completed and i pick up from time to time)

^^ Prioritize Metro 2033, especially since you have it for PC, up full @ 1080p it is absolutely gorgeous. Great game if your into atmosphere and story.

Yeah i love how it looks. I have it at max settings with DX11 at 1080p on a 27" monitor and am getting 26-31fps (overclocked CPU and GPU) and its stunning. Im in the middle of the game somewhere.

I did see some comparison shots between DX10 and DX11, and DX11 definitely has the edge. Probs going to be next year now before I get a DX11 card :(

Posted 2 years ago #

you can get a top end DX11 card for $300 right now. Seems pricey, but not too bad really.
I get mine for free, usually.

Psychotext..

I wouldn't call it waste of money, its an awesome hobby/passion and it brings ALOT of joy, that's for sure. I mean...the days when a E3 is about to happen or big anouncements are gonna be made, those are days i always anticipate, i love that.

Or when you know a game is almost a year off and you can't wait (Skyrim), i just love that. Gaming really brings alot of joy. I am still trying to get rid of that 'day one buy' thing, and if i compare it to 2008, this definitely improved for me. If all these games like Crysis 2, Red Faction,La Noire, Brink etc would come out in the same month...i wouldn't buy all of them. At least...i would try my very best not to :)

@ Moonwalker1982 - +1, good post. This is why arguments get so heated on this site, when people are passionate about a certain game or even platform you can expect sparks to fly. I think what Psychotext meant thought is that he's through with day-one purchases, when he said "That's why I don't play that game any more", I think he meant the 'day-one game'. I think. Im tryin to reduce my day-one purchases this year too, right now ive got it down to:

Splinter Cell HD Collection (£20-25 so why not)
ICO & SOTC HD Collection (£20-25 again)
L.A Noire
Resistance 3
Silent Hill Downpour (I really believe this one will be great)
Uncharted 3

I'm pretty much too old to get excited about games in that way any more. It just doesn't happen. I'm looking forward to Portal 2 and Deus Ex for instance... but I just don't have that Christmas Eve feeling I had when I was younger.

@ - Splinter Cell HD collection is supposed to drop april 1st, it was 25th of march but amazon changed my pre order to this so im thinking this is solid now. Apr 1st if a friday too, most games in UK release on a fri or tues 95% of the time.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Splinter-Cell-Trilogy-HD-PS3/dp/B004JLNKNK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1299757888&sr=8-1

Im really looking forward to replaying these, will be even better with trophies. Im hoping they keep the co-op multi player in Chaos Theory, I missed that 1st time around :(

Ubi ain't bringing it to Xbox 360 though? Come to think of it..the POP collection didn't make it to 360 neither.

OK heres mine.

PS3
Saboteur.(Bit crappy)
GT5
MGS4
Operation Flashpoint Dragon rising.
Resistance 1.

360.
Halo Reach.
Bioshock.
PGR4.
Funny thing is I used to always finish a game before starting another one but recently I have been buying games and just tipping at them.
I reckon I am getting a bit bored of SP so tend to go multi now for the most part.
