Since the search feature isn't working right now may as well create a a new thread.

I think it is safe to say that many of us have a back log of games that we own but have yet to play or that we have started but never finished and would like to go back and complete one day. What does your backlog look like?

Mine looks like this:

Fallout 4
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1
Digimon Cyber Sleuth
Sword Art Online Hollow Realization
RWBY
Walking Dead New Frontier
Marvel Heroes Omega
Accel World vs Sword Art Online
Walking Dead Michonne
Transformers Devastation
The Last of Us
Valkyria Chronicles Revolution
Metal Gear Solid 5 Phantom Pain
Sniper Elite 3
Assassins Creed Black Flag
Assassins Creed Revelation
Final Fantasy 12 Zodiac Age
Final Fantasy 15
.hack//GU Last Recode (preordered)
South Park The Fractured But Whole (preordered)

With the birth of my new daughter I am holding back from purchasing anymore games for the time being and I want to focus on cleaning up my backlog.

I wish my backlog was as small as yours. Mine consists of about 100-150 titles.

Haha. It reminds me of my overwhelming backlog that I'm trying to forget exists. (Mostly the $)

Last year, I felt too overwhelmed that I had given up on my backlog.

My friend then suggested a group, that she was in, called Backlog Assassins, and it has helped me a -lot-.

I made a >profile there< , and this year I made a lot of progress on mister backlog!

It's a really neat community. Your games are all color coded (unplayed, unfinished, finished, etc), and you have a neat color chart on your profile. You can make custom lists to further divide your games. And people make blog-like posts about games they beat, monthly wrap-ups - and others comment/encourage on them.

There are monthly themes to help you pick games if you want, or events where members challenge another, giveaways to win games, etc.

My backlog is scary huge, but I've narrowed it down to about ~85 games I actually want to try.

Backlog vs games I would like to play is very different to me. I have well over a thousand games I will never touch but games I would like to conclude is pretty small. The Lego games just because my son and I enjoy them when he comes to visit, the Telltale games I will get to eventually, Dishonoured2 (halfway through but will probably start over at some point), ME:A (if I can get Steam controller working properly for it), A couple Assasins Creed games, Divinity Original Sin2 and perhaps 2 or 3 others I am not thinking of right now. Beyond that I do not care about most of my library and most will go unplayed because for the most part all the 'bundles' are just garbage and, yeah I did buy a few probably to say I had 'lot's of games', but not for a while now and probably never again.

When you see Witcher 3 DLC in people's backlogs...
Should be first priority.

If they're looking for a reason to fall asleep. "Hello traveller, do you know where so and so went?" "I do after I regale you with a 20 minute story, and you go kill 15 wolves for me I will tell you the other 20 minutes of the tale of how she went - that way"

Massive backlog:

Captain America (PS3) started never finished
LEGO Star Wars the newest one
The Sly Collection (PS3) sitting on shelf for years

Not really all that much. I don't usually branch out a whole lot.

Couple of the games I own that I've yet to complete:
MGSV(it was just free on PS+)
Just Cause 3(about halfway through)
Everybody's Golf(played for a couple of days and then stopped. Will definitely get back into it at some point).

Games that I want to play, but I'm waiting for a sale/EA Access:
Ghost Recon Wildlands
Mass Effect: Andromeda


That's pretty much it. I just generally don't enjoy very many games. I start a lot and then quit because I get bored. It's tough for me to get through an entire game.

It's disgusting right now, and only getting worse. Once Destiny 2 comes out, this will probably all get pushed back. Big time. Currently in my log (only counting stuff I'm actually likely to play and finish sometime soon)

Cuphead (currently playing)
The Sexy Brutale (currently playing)
Pyre
Nier Automata
Dead Cells
XCOM 2
Witcher 3
