change stickerstar to *dont plan on ever starting* instead.

My backlog is too huge

Play Killer7

i have about 300 games if you count digital, and about 30-40% of it is backlog

Anyone else here just can't seem to finish games anymore? I usually pick up a game, play like half of it, take a short break, then for some reason never pick it up again

I feel ya. I only finish a game if it hooks me in. They rarely do. A lot of games just seem like a chore. I don't know how Atlus did it but I played Persona 5 Royal non-stop for 2 weeks. No game I've played since beating it has made me do that. I am slowly getting through some games though. Almost done with Nights of Azure then I'll see what Mass Effect can do for me.

if you enjoyed Royal, I encourage you to play some of the older Persona games. 4 is also very good

I never understood this until i got a job after college. All of a sudden i dont have as much freetime so ive been very selective of the games i play.

i cant play a lot of the games i used to play anymore without thinking "why am i still playing this, my time would be better spent playing a game i havent played before" and then i wouldnt be able to decide on what to play

Currently sitting in my backlog is Golden Sun, DBZ Kakarot, The Uncharted Collection, Bloodborne, and Bloodstained Ritual of the Night. Those are just the most recent.

Already did buddy

it's too hard for me, i got stuck on the intro for hours

Depends on if I'm hooked or not. If its not something that gets me autistically interested into, it takes me much longer to finish it. Typically for me open worlds tend to be the things I drop the most often

how long should I wait until I become engaged in a game? Seriously >just seems like a chore
Basically any games I start up.

My backlog is Xenoblade DE, Yakuza 0, trials of mana, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky

Fuck the rest, play K7

Play killer7 right fucking now. It's only a few hours long and it's fun

>started xenoblade 2 but decided to wait since xenoblade 1 remaster was coming out
>was gonna start xenoblade x while waiting but figured I might as well play 1 first
My entire backlog is xenoblade right now and I have to wait till monday for the mailman to show up.

I wish I had a backlog.
I have run out of games to play. I spend hours, sometimes entire days, scrolling through game lists looking for something new that isn't identical to something I've already played to death. I go back and play games I haven't played in several years in the hope I've forgotten enough about them that something in there will surprise or feel new to me.

Honestly, ever since I turned 18 and got busier, I have honestly given way less of a fuck about how I play games. This board will shit on people for not playing older NES/SNES/Genesis games the way they were meant to be played, without save states or rewinding. However, if I replay the same level many fucking times and keep dying, I'm just gonna feel like I'm wasting my time and should do something productive instead. I'll still play those games and try to limit the number of times I rewind or use a save state, but I can lose my patience very fucking fast. I suck at playing video games, I can admit that. I just wanna have fun, and I'm not gonna listen to what NEETs on Zig Forums have to say about that.
Game journalists still need to be competent gamers and journalists to do their job, though.

literally just emulate older games, youll never run out. actually dig through the game library instead of looking at the 'top 10 snes games' lists, or those 'hidden gem' videos

There is no way you have ran out of games to play. Go browse the /vr/ catalog and I'm sure you will find something new to play.

i feel like rewinding ruins the whole 'learning' parts of games, which is really fun.
but a lot of NES games were kind of shit, and were made during a time of passwords and artificial difficulty to lengthen a game, so thats excusable.
Ive never beaten ghosts n goblins, or battletoads, or the yellow devil without save states if im being honest.
Most games around the time of the SNES were much more fair tho

I have, anons. I have been gaming since I was eight in '96. I made a point of going back and playing a lot of games that came out before I started over the years, especially the big iconic series. I went through a big emulation phase partway through my 20's when every game started being a copy of every other game, and ran through a lot of the retro stuff during that.

have you tried games that aren't from the usa? like, maybe into some foreign stuff might get your interest.

theres no way you have tried out every game in just 24 years. try playing genres you dont normally like.
the ps1 has 1300 games alone, i doubt youve even gave 300 of them a chance

i guess my last idea would be stop gaming for a while. for a few months maybe, however long. then come back to something new?

Playing Xenoblade 2, Dusk and Ys VI. I'm furthest in Dusk since it's probably the shortest game out of the rest, currently in Limestone Cave in Ys and in Xenoblade got to Fonsa Myma.

JUST PICK SOME AND STOP MAKING EXCUSES

I actually played a shitton of super robot wars and other nip games despite being unable to read moon runes, mostly figuring out what menu options were what through context, trial, and error.

Obviously not every game. I don't consider visual novels or meme games games. Nor do I get into anything too simple or basic.

Still, you underestimate just how much time I spend gaming. I have aspergers, OCD, and pretty severe agoraphobia. I've been on a disability pension for several years now. If I'm not going to a doctor's appointment, therapy, or a social worker, or doing activities related to those three, I'm gaming compulsively. I actually get really agitated and worked up when I finish a game and can't find something new to play. Going back and trying genres and titles I passed over or didn't take much notice of the first time around was something I did years ago.

What are you finding hard, the combat or the puzzles? On normal mode the map will often straight up tell you what item/character to use in what place.

Is Xeno DE worth getting? Been interested in the series and now seems like a good a time as any
