See, now when I do play it, I’ll have the whole series just waiting for me. Smart, huh?
“Why is this game so outdated? Oh, right, I got it in a Humble Bundle 17 years ago.”
This is why I stopped buying games. I still have a massive backlog (like everyone else) but it’s a list, not a Steam library.
Don’t get sucked in by Steam sales. You’re not saving money by buying games you’re never going to play!
Anybody else read “massive backlog” wrong?
Yep, British Broadcasting Corporation
My low point was buying that Harry Potter game on release. Still haven’t started it, don’t even remember the name, I’m nearly 50 and really hate HP.
I did this with borderlands 3 way back when. Got it at half price but didn’t get round to it until a good year and half later. By then it was even cheaper than when I bought it.
Slowly realising the games will still be there, sale or not. Got to learn not to buy more until my weekly routine needs an addition that isn’t already in the backlog.
I’ve pumped at least a few hours into at least 90% of the games I own, gave each entry a fair shake, and either moved on or come back to it now and again. Its the rare exception that the game is so up my alley I can pour endless hours into it without the experience getting boring.
I don’t care about achievements or even completing it. I play games mainly to try out a new experience and get the brain working in different ways. Some of my favorite games I can pump many hours into and have completed, rougelikes especially are infinitely replayable. But others are once and done experiences I got my fill of over the course of a couple of hours and have no desire to come back to. Theres no shame in being the later.
