So maybe it's just because of all those responsibilities of getting older, but I find myself with an increasingly large back catalog of games that I still need to beat (some that I haven't even started). I'm curious to see if this correlates directly with age/responsibilities.

I'm 25 and I work as a billing consultant for Verizon business.

My backlog:
Oblivion (halfway through Mage's Guild, Main Quest, Brotherhood of Shadows and completed Thief's Guild. That's about it.)
Fallout: New Vegas (Just finished Fallout 3 in its entirety)
Skyrim (wanna get through Oblivion first)
Mass Effect 3 (wanna replay ME2, save all my crew and not hook up with anyone, to see if I can rekindle with the Asari from ME1. Plus, the DLC)
Gears of War 2 (still haven't even gotten Gears 3)
Final Fantasy XIII (I'm about 20 hours in).
Resident Evil: Revalations (just started)
Super Mario 3D Land (haven't started)


How about you guys. Post'em if you got'em.

[JRPomazon]

I am 23 and I am a paige at my town's Library:

I have
Fire Emblem (GBA) -2/3 of the way done
Devil May Cry - same as above
Final Fantasy X - haven't started
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - need to restart
Metroid: Other M - sorta on my way
No More Heroes 2 - haven't started
Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy - last story mode)
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - On to Ikana, then the rest of the masks

I work at EB Games. This shit will not end.

Devil May Cry 4 - halfway through. Dante as a boss is frustrating.
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Mass Effect - currently in play. Vehicle is awesome and - as of a few nights ago - eventually flippable.
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3
Bioshock
Bioshock 2 - this one I mainly bought because of the sweet vinyl record that came with it.
Assassin's Creed
Lost Odyssey
Armored Core For Answer
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Castlevania Lords of Shadow
Enchanted Arms
Ninety-Nine Nights
Ninety-Nine Nights 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Red Dead Redemption

Those are just the ones in my cupboard. The list grows faster than I can plough through it.

[SOAP]

My collection isn't as cool as some of you guys but I do have quite a few unfinished games myself:

For the wii

Rampage Total Destruction (I got for my boyfriend anyways and we just play it casually. We haven't got that far yet and it's been years.)
No More Heroes (On the top of my head, I's say I'm a rank 8 Assasin. I stopped playing a long time ago because I gt too busy and recently tried to pick it up, only to find I suck balls at it now. Shame, it was such a fun game too)
Super Mario Bros. Wii (Yeah not even past World 1 yet.)
Okami (Beautiful game. Awkward controls. Lost interest a long time ago. Might pick it up again...)
My Sims Kingdom (Don't Judge me!)
Super Paper Mario (Literally at the last boss but I can't beat him. I just gave up after a while)
Bully (I think I lost interest after I got bored with making my character kiss all the guys)

And for the XBox

Fable II (technically I beat it--if you call that an ending--but I still trying to save up to buy Castle Fairfax)
Prince of Persia (I don't know how far I am in this game but I think I was on the way to battle the Cucubine before I stopped playing)
Dante's Inferno (Got stuck in Gluttony I think)

[Wolf O'Donnell]

Let's see... I have...

PS2:

Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles
Mana Khemia; Alchemists of Al-revis
Mana Khemia 2
Shadow Hearts

Gamecube:

Fire Emblem (can't remember its subtitle)

3DS:
Tales of the Abyss

PC
Bastion

Rush
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1
SpaceChem

fallout 3 - just got to megaton
undead nightmare - haven't started this yet, but i loved redemption
dead rising - haven't done much more than kill zombies, but i'm working on the main story
dark souls - well... i died a lot. sometimes i took bosses with me.
skyrim - pretty much just explored the countryside. next time i pick it up i intend to engage with the main game
asscreed ii - and if i like that enough, i'll need to play assbro and assrave

kotor - ditto
shadow of the collosus - speaks for itself

legacy of kain series - not hugely high on my list, but the story interests me
skyward sword - because i suspect it sucks but want to confirm it for myself
metroid other m - because i'm certain it sucks and want to endure if myself

[Chukchi Husky]

I have hundreds of games that I haven't been able to finish. Some I never even started, mainly because most of them are sequels to games I haven't finished, and I bought them in a compilation or bundle.

http://backloggery.com/ChukchiHusky

[Crimson Lego]

Lego Star Wars Complete Saga - Only at 44.7% completion.
Skyward Sword - must buy or get for birthday.

That's really it for me; don't game as much as I used to.

[DarkJuno]

I'm curious to see if this correlates directly with age/responsibilities.

I'm 25 and I work as a billing consultant for Verizon business.

It does.

It only gets worse as you get older. It's funny - you start off as a kid with no real job or ability to make money beyond chores and can only get 1 or 2 games a year plus Christmas/Birthday gifts, but eventually you (hopefully) grow up, get a job, and can buy more and more of the things you want within reason and responsibility...but no longer have the time to play them all. Alas.

Mine's just a wall of shame through and through.

Final Fantasy XIII - I am RIGHT at the last chapter, 14, just need to buckle down and do this thing.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - obviously haven't started yet.
Fallout New Vegas - just after the first town - want to finish, but egads the glitches.
Eternal Sonata - Just met Chopin in his mind.
LA Noire - Halfway through Vice
Assassin's Creed II - about halfway, also have Brotherhood after this
Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker - First real mission - just got the PS3 version so I should be able to get through it quicker now
Star Ocean: The Last Hope - The first planet after leaving the crash site
Tales of Graces f - About to attack the ivnaders, currently playing
Valkyria Chronicles - Spoiler free, "she" just turned into "one of those"
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn - just started



...you know, I'll just depress myself if I go further.

[Ikiosho]

Morrowind - Working on getting over frustration at the combat system
Final Fantasy VI and IX - haven't started
Metroid: Other M - also sorta on my way, about to start working on this
Metroid Prime 2 - not very far, need to get reinterested
Lego Star Wars Complete Saga - i'm not sure how far i am. not far enough
Skyward Sword - just stole this from turtlebro, i'm looking forward to starting
Fire Emblem: PoR - about halfway through, this game is soooo slow if you want to keep all your mans
Spyro 2 and 3 - haven't even loaded them up yet
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - also not started yet
Mega Man 7,8,9,10 - fuck this is hard

There's definitely more. I'll work on it.

[Sir Turtlelot]

Damn this is going to suck. Fortunately, I just finished Skyward Sword, so that's one thing off my plate.

I'm a 20 year old, full time engineering student, and I've somewhat picked up a research aid job on the side.


Pokemon HeartGold (Most the way through my replay)
Pokemon Platinum (Plan to replay after I finish HG)
The Wind Waker (Not very far)
Zelda OoX (Need to borrow from Ikiosho to make another attempt)
Majora's Mask (Need to start from scratch and actually finish)
Soul Calbur V (Though I finished the story mode, I'm still in the process of unlocking all of the creation parts)
Megaman 1 - 10 (Need to finish all unfinished ones and buy the ones I don't have)
Final Fantasy VII (Not very far)
Lego Star Wars Complete Saga (Not sure how far I am)
Star Wars The Force Unleashed (Need to get re-interested and finish)


Then there's the games I plan on getting, which will only add to my list.

Pokemon Black2/White2 (When released)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (May borrow from Ikiosho)
Kirby Return to Dream Land
Metroid Other M (May borrow from Ikiosho)
Crash Bandicoot 1-3
Spyro the Dragon 1-3
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Skyrim
Super Mario 3D Land
Mario Kart 7
OoT 3D
Star Fox 3D

Various classic Nintendo titles for replay


That's all that comes to mind for now. At least all the 3DS titles are put on hold until I actually buy a 3DS.

[Ikiosho]

Pokemon Black2/White2 (When released)
Kirby Return to Dream Land
Skyrim
Star Fox 3D
Kid Icarus Uprising

I didn't think that this was about games we wanted. But these are some of them that I plan on getting in the near future that I stole from turtlar's list.

[Sir Turtlelot]

I don't think it's about games we want either, I just listed those since it's only a matter of time until they end up on my backlog as well.

[JRPomazon]

I personally love this kinds of threads, have started a couple myself. But rather than make a completely new one, I thought it would be best to just revive this one. Let me just update what I posted before:

I have
Fire Emblem (GBA) -2/3 of the way done
Devil May Cry - same as above
Final Fantasy X - haven't started
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - need to restart
Metroid: Other M - sorta on my way Done
No More Heroes 2 - haven't started Done
Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy - last story mode) I beat the main story and everything else is uber difficult. Since I'm not a masochist, Done
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - On to Ikana, then the rest of the masks Done

That being said, let's post a revised list:

Fire Emblem - Second verse, same as the first
Batman: Arkham City - Yes, it looks good but I haven't had the time to start it
The Last Story - I really want to get started on this one soon
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Just need to beat the game with Ramona
Yoshi's Island - started this game back in 2006. I figured it deserves to be finished.
Devil May Cry - Haven't touched it in a while. I hate Nightmare.
FFX - Need to dust off my PS2
MGS3 - Same as above
Super Mario 3 - Playing it through with a friend. We're on World 8.

[Nevermind]

I too will revisit my list.

Devil May Cry 4 - halfway through. Dante as a boss is frustrating.
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Mass Effect - currently in play. Vehicle is awesome and - as of a few nights ago - eventually flippable.
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3
Bioshock
Bioshock 2 - this one I mainly bought because of the sweet vinyl record that came with it.
Assassin's Creed
Lost Odyssey
Armored Core For Answer
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Castlevania Lords of Shadow
Enchanted Arms
Ninety-Nine Nights
Ninety-Nine Nights 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Red Dead Redemption
Rise of Nightmares
Borderlands
Skyrim
Baroque
Ju-On: The Grudge
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
Drakengard
Ico

Updated:

Devil May Cry 4 - STILL halfway through. Dante as a boss is probably still frustrating.
Final Fantasy XIII - Yep. Still haven't touched it.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - See above. +100 more hours.
Bioshock
Bioshock 2 - These two I think I will probably bump closer to the top of the list with Infinite coming out soon.
Lost Odyssey - Last disc. Really need to see the end of Kaim's tale and I will not give it up until I do.
Castlevania Lords of Shadow - I honestly have no idea where I am with this one nor why I stopped playing.
Rise of Nightmares - One night, many beers, and my friend is all I need for this one. Then I'll get rid of it.
Skyrim - Hopefully Dawnguard fixed my "Invincible Alduin" problem and I can actually progress with the story.
Borderlands 2 - Played a bit, returned it in favour of Resident Evil 6, which was super awesome for Leon's campaign and then Clunky COD for the other campaigns. I didn't even finish Jake's story, cos ugh. Just ugh. Will pick up Borderlands 2 again at some stage.

Now that I have a decent PC for gaming, I can also add in the following:

Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Penumbra Trilogy
Diablo 2
Alien Swarm


So, since my Wii died I have temporarily removed Wii games from my list (experienced a power outage whilst playing through the last level of The Grudge).

I've packed up my PS2 as I've nowhere to play it at the moment, so all my PS2 games have been removed as well.

This leaves me with a backlog of games on my 360 that I will actually be getting around to playing. Some I have traded back in as I've stopped playing them or have played the shit out of them already, or I played a little and found them super boring. I've shrunk it down to a "do-able" list, considering the amount of new releases I have to get through as well as my shameless addiction to Mass Effect 3 multi-player (I am also running through the campaign again on Insanity mode along with the DLC, and after experiencing the multi-player, Insanity is super fucking easy).

Currently in play: Dishonored.

Kind of in play: Rocksmith. This came with a sweet, sweet guitar. <3

Always in play forever and ever: Mass Effect 3 online co-op. Come join me.

My list is horrifically long.



AND JAKE IS FUN DAMMIT.

[Sir Turtlelot]

Well with the loss of my PS3 and still a lack of a 3DS, my list hasn't really changed too much. I edited out the the 3DS games and PS3 games (that I didn't get around to buying).

Then there's the games I plan on getting, which will only add to my list.

Pokemon Black2/White2 (When released)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (May borrow from Ikiosho)
Kirby Return to Dream Land
Metroid Other M (May borrow from Ikiosho)

Jeez, is there something about these recent consoles that makes them prone to breaking? A broken Wii here, a dead PS3 there, it's not all that assuring for a console that's supposedly cutting edge.

[Egann]

One fewer titles on mine: I just finished Perfect Dark Zero. Horrible story, but definitely worth the $1.98 I spent on it.

FF XIII seems to be on a lot of lists. Friendly advice: don't punish yourself trying to finish XIII before playing XIII-2. XIII-2 is actually a pretty good game, and if you haven't finished XIII by now, chances are you never will.

[Wolf O'Donnell]

It doesn't look like my list has progressed... In fact, it seems as if it's increased!

Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles

Updated Progress (For great justice)

Currently Playing:

I smashed out Dishonored, got all endings. I highly recommend it. Skyrim: Magical Hitman Mini-game.

On about the second last mission of Halo 4. Black Ops 2 is out so Zombies will be taking a large chunk of my time and Hitman comes out tomorrow. AND I still have the ME3 weekend challenge to complete. Not to mention my own inactive backlog...

[Fin]

I've been playing it myself. Started with a low chaos game, then played violent psychopath Corvo for my high chaos game. I just finished a clean hands playthrough last night. Now onto Mostly Flesh and Steel.

Definitely seconding Laz's recommendation. It's a fantastic game.

Edited by Finn the Human, 19 November 2012 - 04:53 PM.

[Nevermind]

I was low chaos the whole way despite constant use of my "turn all bodies to ash" assassination attack.

Ended up with high chaos ending the first time around because I burned everyone to a crisp in the second last mission. Did it again with Bend Time, Blink-Blink-Blink-Blink, activate objective and all done in about 30 seconds with low chaos.

Honestly, I felt much more satisfied going through the high chaos ending and raining down retribution upon those bastards, despite the "you just fucked the whole city" outcome.

Spoiler

And I accidentally let Emily die the first time around. That ending felt kind of cooler with Corvo hitting the high seas and bailing on that damned country.

Spoiler

And when Martin killed himself and Pendleton died from the gunshot wound, I threw their bodies onto the rocks below with sickening yet satisfying splats. It seemed to be the appropriate gesture of disrespect for them.

Edited by Nevermind, 19 November 2012 - 08:28 AM.

[Fin]

Spoiler

I actually found the low chaos ending the least satisfying. Curing the plague and putting another Kaldwin on the throne won't fix Dunwall's problems. There was a theme of corruption running all through the game, and it manifested even in the non-lethal choices for your assassination targets, which all uphold the status quo of the way the city operates in one way or another. Branding Campbell a heretic uses a draconian tradition against him, if you spare the Pendletons they end up slaves in a mine run by another Pendleton, and Burrows and Havelock are brought to the city's idea of justice. Lady Boyle's abduction isn't really business as usual, though cutting a nasty deal with a noble still isn't exactly the high road here. The monologue about Dunwall's golden age in the ending is a little trite after all of that. Sure, maybe Emily will turn out to be a good empress under Corvo's tutelage, but it's not very convincing after all that came beforehand, and it just undermines the theme.

[JRPomazon]

Currently Playing:
▲Yoshi's Island - Just started World 5, I hope to finish the game by the end of the month
▲ Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - Beat the game with Ramona, starting with Negascott. God help me, this game just won't leave me alone.
