So, What's on your Gaming Backlog

[the_great_cessation]

Okami (which I'm currently working on)
Red Dead Redemption (I usually pick this one up, play it for a few hours and then don't touch it for months. It's been this way for a year and a bit now)
Sleeping Dogs
Metro: Last Light
Far Cry 3
Ni No Kuni
Twisted Metal
Max Payne 3
Soul Reaver
Alundra
Zeno Clash II
Dragon's Crown
Tokyo Jungle
Rain

To be completely honest, I don't see myself ever finishing everything on here. Some of it I'll likely sell or give to friends. However, I do plan on finishing Okami this summer as I've had it on my backlog for about 4 to 5 years now and have made multiple attempts to play through it. I think that now, with the HD version, I might finally finish it and actually enjoy it (as I have been enjoying it more recently than I ever did in previous playthroughs).

 

[crazygameguy4ever]

quite a lot unfortunately...

Mass Effect 2, Persona 3: FES, Persona 4 ( which I only recently got),the Full Burst DLC from Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, Bulletstorm, Assassin's Creed 3 (which i'll probably never finish since it's not a very good game), Walking Dead episode 1 (cause it also wasn't very good) Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (cause i could never get passed the statue of liberty boss) the original American McGee's Alice game (that came free with Alice Madness Returns) and Jak 2 ( way to frustratingly difficult to get through. oh and Mass Efect 2 and Bioshock 2. .both because I got busy with other games and never got around not finishing them)

 

[DirgeNovak]

Metal Gear Solid 4, Infamous: Second Son and Assassin's Creed IV are my top priorities. I want to play Outlast and Child of Light as well, and I'll probably buy Octodad and Watch Dogs in the nearish future.

 

[DanielBrown]

Only "new" game I've bought this year that's in my back log would be the FFX/X-2 HD pack. Got sick of the game a lot quicker than I thought, unfortunetly.
Apart from that I got ~50 bundle games on Steam I have little love for. Also playing through Castlevania: Lords of Shadow again and am considering starting up Red Dead Redemption, InFamous 1/2 and some other PS3 games I haven't played in several years. Got a huge PS3 library so I got some work to do... Problem is that I've grown extremely bored with gaming in general lately. A bit burned out I guess.

 

[Chester Rabbit]

I?m going to try my damnedest to complete Deus Ex and then finally I can play Human Revolution. I made it somewhat far in Deus Ex back in 2012 but then I had to do a restore on my computer and lost everything and, there has been so much since then I haven?t really had the time, attention span or energy to really get into it again; but this summer that changes!

Oh and on the side Splatterhouse.

And hey, if I pull all that off, maybe I'll try giving New Vegas my all.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

almost 150 (damn you steam sales!!!), which led me to decide that I won't buy a PS4 nor a new PC until I have finished at least half of those games. Currently playing Ni No Kuni on PS3 (Has been in my backlog for some time) and in PC trying to finish Dungeon Siege III. Next ones up are Mass Effect Collection (on PS3) and Tom Raider (PC)

 

[RJ 17]

Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends

That was the first game I bought for my shiny new PS4! Frickin' lovin' it so far. Can't say I've found a single character that I haven't enjoyed using. To be fair, though, I doubt if I've managed to use even half the roster. =P

That said, I'd still consider it to be on my backlog as well since I've only finished up the story modes for each of the kingdoms. Still gotta finish up Ambition Mode and get everyone's level 6 weapons. I'll probably start on the weapons tonight after work.

As for the rest of my backlog, I'm actually almost all caught up. I only consider my backlog to consist of games that I personally own, everything else is just on a wish-list.

Which leaves Saints Row 3 (got it for Games for Gold)...which I played for about an hour and a half before rage quitting for the evening when they decided to start sending anime cyber ninjas on teleporting roller blades to attack me with grav hammers from Halo. I understand that the SR series is supposed to be more "cartoony" than GTA...but I was at least expecting a "fair" (as in fair vs unfair) amount of realism in the game...and teleporting anime cyber ninjas with grav hammers that are apparently equipped with Protoss shields as well isn't exactly what I'd call "fair". =P

The only other game I've got for my PS4 is AssCreed IV. I swore off the series after III and had absolutely no interest in playing IV. But, having picked up a PS4, I decided I wanted some games to play with my new console so I picked up a used copy. I didn't get far....at all....before the exact same thing that happened when I was playing AssCreed III happened: "Cannot Read Disc". It happened at the beginning of the previous game when I was in the opera house and trying to climb up into the rafters, and it happened her quite at the beginning of the game shortly after I chased down and killed the Assassin from the shipwreck. Bitter memories of AssCreed III started to return so I haven't touched AssCreed IV for a few weeks now. And with that, I'm really having trouble finding any kind of desire whatsoever to give AssCreed IV another shot.

So yeah, in short, my backlog is
DW8XLCE
SR III
and "technically" AC IV

 

[V4Viewtiful]

A few
Persona 4
Breath of Fire
Chrono Cross
the new Strider
Rayman Origins and Legends
Psychonauts (Yeah, I know)
Tales of Symphonia
Beyond Good and Evil (Yeah, I know)
Infamous 2
The Terranigma Trilogy (started all finished none)
Dragon Quest 8

Probably more but...

Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends

That was the first game I bought for my shiny new PS4! Frickin' lovin' it so far. Can't say I've found a single character that I haven't enjoyed using. To be fair, though, I doubt if I've managed to use even half the roster. =P

It's the first Dynasty Warriors game I've bought, I decided to just jump in and give it a go, and I must say I was presently surprised. I've only played a bit of Lu Bu's campaign but it's really damn fun to go just punch large crowds of people with giant metal fists

I'm much more excited for Hyrule Warriors now that I know I like the formula.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

finish Assassin's Creed IV

This one for sure. It sticks out because I'm not really sure why I still haven't finished it. I absolutely love AC4 and yet I can't bring myself to play it anymore.
It's probably because I fully upgraded my ship and I can win virtually any sea battle I come across.

Other than that, mostly classic games that I really really need to play.

Deus Ex 1, which I started and have been enjoying.
System Shock 2, which I started and was bored immensely by, but I know I need to beat it just for the experience.
Thief 2 which I picked up on GoG and have yet to even start.

Otherwise it's just assorted GoG and Steam Sale things. things. Dark Athena being one. I adored Escape From Butcher Bay, but Dark Athena doesn't seem to have any stakes so I stopped playing after half an hour. It's stupid, I know, but there's just other things to play.

Other titles include The Void, Alpha Protocol, the entire Saints Row series and possibly Two Worlds 2 if I can figure out how to play the damn thing.

And that's why I've always loved the DW games: just some mindless hack'n'slash fun. No need to put too much concentration or thought into it, just charge out into the battlefield and start killing fodder by the hundreds!

Welcome to the fold, my friend. =3

 

[Johnny Impact]

Playing: Mass Effect 1, Darksiders II, Borderlands 2 mission packs.

To Play:

BioShock Infinite
Transistor
Amnesia: Dark Descent

[j0frenzy]

I brought home a stack of games for the summer that I've been meaning to play but haven't.
Persona 4
Obscure 2
Makai Kingdom
LA Noire
Dues Ex HR
Dark Souls 2
Apollo Justice Ace Attorney
Fire Emblem Awakening
Pokemon White

I also brought Bioshock Infinite, Fallout 3, RE4 and Mercenaries 1 which I've played but brought for funsies.
And then I bought RE 1, 2 and 3 at a local convention, got Saints Row 3 from XBL and started an FF9 LP. I'm the best at backlogs.

 

[Kinitawowi]

What I should play that I haven't finished yet: Top priorities are Bully (most of the way through chapter 5, so nearly finished), Bioshock Infinite (not really got that far yet), Final Fantasy 6 (which has been sat in my DS for years but had to wait while I milked the DQVC in Dragon Quest IX), and Green Day Rock Band (it's fairly easy - I should be able to blow through the rest of it).

What I should play that I've already finished: Bayonetta (I want to finish Non Stop Infinite Climax before Bayonetta 2 comes out and I suck it up and buy a Wii U), Guitar Hero 3 (my cousin and I will become fags on One if it kills us), Chrono Trigger DS (I really don't want to play Pokemon but I need to wrap up the six Arena exclusive items before I can finally put it down).

What I'm likely to play instead even though I've already finished it at least twice: Diablo 3 Reaper Of Souls. The game is just crack.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Will eventually start or finish:

EYE: Divine Cybermancy
Dishonored
Don't Starve

Sonic Generations

How is it that many? I spent the last month clearing a number of games from my steam backlog. But it seems the gog backlog and the playstation one need some urgent attention. At least the backlog is helping to discourage me from impulse buys on steam. But think the real lesson is don't buy a number of rpg's at once if you don't want a backlog to get out of control.
