Interested in seeing how other people approach their backlog. I’ve finally made a list of all the games I want to finish, and I’m forcing myself to play one of them a day for at least an hour.

As an added incentive, I’m forcing myself to wait to finish a backlog game before I can buy a new one. I’ve got a lot of playing to do between now and October.

    It’s better to play a game you want then to think you need to play the game.

    The game isn’t gone it just has to wait. Also don’t buy new games if you aren’t going to play them or play a hour and never return, that’s just wasting money and time

      Yeah, I don’t like the “backlog” mentality. It makes gaming sound like a list of chores, full of tedium and a sense of obligation. I buy games I know I’m going to want to play eventually, and I’ll get to them when I get to them. My goal isn’t to “clear my backlog” it’s to have fun, play what feels right to play, and go at my own pace.
