Post Here if you STILL have a HUGE Backlog of Games to Play

lol we all buy em cuz their cheap or buy em cuz they're cool and if you frustrate yourself with the many games you STILL have to play - post here. Haha. Cheers to the gamer and the addiction to having games and never running out of things to play. Hahaha.

I went on a game buying binge this year. I've lost count of how many games I still have left that I need to beat (much less play), but it's a lot. The biggest offender is Borderlands which I bought back in February or March and still have shrink wrapped (meant to play it with a friend but last semester left me with no free time so that didn't happen. He's since had his fill of the game and I have no one to play it with so it just sits there collecting dust :( ).

I'm in that boat. Got my exams completed a couple of weeks ago and am now steaming through all the games I bought months ago. Worst thing is, I have an even larger wish list of games I have yet to purchase, not to mention older games I wouldn't mind replaying.

Damn PC gaming, it keeps throwing out the hook and I keep getting caught.

I have 18 games that i didn't beat and i bought a new one last week. Please, someone stop me! :cry:

tomorrow i have my final exams and then finally i will be able to play all the games i have. i have about 26 games installed and most of them i haven't even finish the first mission yet because i had school and exams for the past 2 weeks, so im set for summer. :D

I have quite a few games I haven't played yet mainly just waiting for me to get in the mood to play them though rather then not having enough time.

Mass Effect (need to replay for ME2, my saved games were wiped out in my hardware upgrade), WiC, Torchlight, ARMA 2, HOMMV (expansions only), and Hearts of Iron 3

and Dragon Age.

Too many to mention.....steam is the sh!t.

I still have to either start or finish - more than half of these.

It's insane.

I can't resist picking up all of the amazing steam sales and as a result i have so many games i haven't even touched on my steam games list. Hopefully ill get time during my uni break.

Over the past two weeks I've bought Splinter Cell 1, 3, 4, Conviction, DoW 2 plus expansion, Warfare.. a few weeks before that it was M&B Warband which I still haven't played enough of. I have sooo many games to play. But my buddy and I are having fun playing Titan Quest at the moment :) So I'll get to them eventually. I've been playing through Splinter Cell 1 on my off-time.. tough game compared to Conviction, but fun.

Guilty here. Posting in this thread.

Crysis warhead and wars.

I haven't even touched those games yet.

I've got.. Deus Ex 2 (Just hasn't gripped me like the first did) Mafia 2 (Driving missions are godawful...) Penumbra Assassins Creed 2 (Get all the codexes, are you ****ing me?) Risen (Got bored, meh) STALKER COP (Started crashing at start, a reinstall without removing the saves might help. But I'm lazy) Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines (I'll finish it, eventually...) The Witcher (Overrated crap.. or I'm still waiting for it to become as good as it's made out to be) Yeah, I got enough to do over summer.Vfanek

Mafia 2 isn't out for another 2 months, so I wonder how you know what the driving missions are like?

I've got so many it's ridiculus. I bought over like 20 games during the holiday sales.RedxSniper

Don't we all? I'm not even gonna list all my isos/ steam games that I haven't even installed due to my bandwidth cap.

Guilty. VERY guilty:

• Bioshock
• Been There, Dan That + Time Gentlemen, Please!
• Beyond Good & Evil
• Dead Space
• Defense Grid
• Fallout 3 (I'm about halfway through)
• Larva Mortus
• The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom
• Mr. Robot (started)
• Penumbra series
• Project Freedom
• Psychonauts
• Puzzle Quest
• Sam & Max: Season One
• S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC + CS
• Toki Tori
• Torchlight

And those are just the games that can be "beaten". I've also got a handful of puzzle and arcade games sitting around collecting digital dust.

Damn you, Steam! :P

My backlog is less in games I haven't played, and more in games I haven't finished. I'll get a game, play obsessively for a few days or weeks, then start another game. I have the attention span of a ferret on crack, and I have a really hard time buckling down and just finishing a game. I usually get back to the game later, but by that time I've forgotten the details of the game play and the storyline and feel I have to start over. It takes a pretty exceptional game for me to finish, I'm afraid. I call it a backlog, because I mean to get back to them and finish them... someday.

All those Sales just suck me in.
I am embarassed to say that I have 52 PS2 games that I have yet to even touch, and another 18 that I haven't finished yet.
On the PC side I have 30 games I have yet to start and 26 games I have yet to finish.

Just those sales, and worrying about games going out of print and out of stock; especially PS2 games. These days it is rare to find a good game I haven't got already in stores; most of them are just old trade bait and numerous copies of sports games.

And you know. When games like Crysis are just $20 (AUD) I just can't pass that up.

Same problem that Royas have here, my list isn't the problem, the issue is keeping my attention long enough to finish then all.

Yep! There are plenty of games that are releasing in late 2010 and early 2011 that I'm extremely stoked for too! But first I have to finish all of the games below lols

Soo I'm playing Dragon Age, on my second play through, and have 3 other characters behind him. And I will take all of these characters through Awakening as well.

I have to beat mass effect so I can play mass effect 2.

I'm about halfway through Batman:AA.

I just bought SW:KotOR, never played the first one.

I started playing Deus Ex because I'm extremely excited about the 3rd one and I never beat the original.

I started playing the original fallout, probably 4 hours in.

And this week is exam week :/ and I still find myself playing hours and hours of video games. Blah I'm addicted :/

I only buy games when I'm ready to play them.

realistically there's about 50 i'd like to buy but I've cut it down to about a dozen. It sucks but you have to be fairly picky.

then i'll get games that totally take up all my time. Like when I use to play WoW, I only bought like 2 games in 3 years cause I was playing WoW all the time.

that left me whith a huge backlog that i'll never clear.

honestly when diablo 3 comes out I can see that taking up basically all my game playing time for quite a while

yep, i have loads. once I'm finished the exams (in 2 weeks), I have to finish GTA 4 and start Assassins Creed 2 and Bioshock 2, Conviction, Episodes from Liberty City, and i cannot fricking wait!! not to mention watching the world cup and wimbledon

That's just from the list I have up in my profile for games I own. I have a handful more stored away that I haven't beat, but I'm too lazy to pull my box of games down to find which ones they are. I also have a good 18+ games on Steam that I haven't beat - though they are games my younger brother gifted to me because they were cheap/on sale.

I also do have a few older games that I haven't opened only because I had them in the past, but I did beat them. I just wanted the games back in my collection since my younger brother (this was years back) ended up wrecking a ton of my games after I went out to college for my Freshman year.

I have about 30 or so games that I need to complete. Whats sad is, that I am still adding games to my collection. If I see a good deal, I act on it. So the list just keeps growing. :(

I haven't been buying or playing any new games for the past five or six years. Haven't seen anything I want. It's all shooters with better graphics but no appeal. I think the shooters have been played out, they are as stale as the ole beat-em-up games.

The number of games I have given up on simply to play other games is sickening lol.

I must have 10-20 games I have yet to beat, or at least see end-game content.

Tropico 3
Anno
Drakensang
and, the worst offender, Thief 3!

I still have a fair few games to get to, but not a huge backlog. Company of Heroes is one of those I should really get around to, and Dawn of War II. I do know of people who have taken full advantage of Steam sales and now have frankly too many games to play and not enough time to play them in though. :P

Come to think of it, I also need to play more STALKER.

Currently Playing

GTAIV

Men of War

Command and Conquer 3(Scrin Campaign)

Unreal Tournament 3

Haven't touched

STALKER

Men of War Red Tide

Empire:Total War

Alpha Protocol

KOTOR II

Dawn of Discovery

gbrading

yea that is what happened to me, around Christmas time lol.

I think between two bundles and like 10 ubercheap single games I have about 40 games I havent played through, and 10-20 of them are really worth it.

I really should get back to DoW II, but it was too hard for me once the aliens came lol.

Way too many. PC & console, I'm swamped. Maybe one day...but I started playing WoW so I doubt it.
