PGen98 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 We all have one, whether it's induced by a lack of time or a rather good Steam sale, we've all managed to hit a point where we have games that we just haven't gotten to yet, and that sit waiting for the day we finally play them. How many games do you have sitting and waiting, collecting real or virtual dust in the process? For me the number is beyond count, though I would wager I have at least 300 physical games I've never touched since acquiring (many still sealed), and easily the same amount in my Steam library waiting for a play-through. There's no rush to play them, obviously, and so I'll get around to them as I'm able to :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 The last time I took an inventory of my games backlogs, the physical games that I'm yet to play was 107 games and the digital games should be around 211. PGen98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys talking about? Do You mean you have that many games in your wishlist for buying, right? Or you have already purchased the games, and just yet not started to play those?

It's the games that you have already purchased but yet to have them all played or even completed. It's what's backlog is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGen98 Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Correct, games we own and have not had the chance to get into, for one reason or another. It happens over time, usually, but sneaks up on a lot of us until it becomes a bit overwhelming! 21 hours ago, Heatman said: The last time I took an inventory of my games backlogs, the physical games that I'm yet to play was 107 games and the digital games should be around 211. That is a very sizeable backlog, indeed! It doesn't take much to become overwhelming! :) Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I absolutely understand where you're coming from! Trying to stop buying to play catch up, only for another one to roll down the pipelines and...well...you've got to grab it! That's how my backlog got so out of whack in the first place, and it just hasn't stopped :D. Hopefully one day I'll get a bit of free time to sit down and get through a few of those games, have a bit of fun with them!

Exactly - you completely understand the situation at its very best because the moment you think there's a breather for you to take time to catch up with initially abandoned games and boom comes out another irresistible one.

Justin11 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 When we talk about video games on my wish-list is very much. When we talk about games installed already without much attention I can't say none. I simply install games which I can play and not leave unopened.

Boblee Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 My game backlog isn't that big enough in my opinion because I don't have too much cash to splash on buying video games at the moment. But if I do have access to more funds, that might likely change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually cool because it shows that you have good control with your taste for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 It's best we Install video games which we can play and finish up nice or at least consistently play than installing all kinds of gaming and leaving it unopened, which makes us spend unnecessarily.

If it's possible for me to be following my games like this, I'd be happy but for the fact that there is way I do with money, so when a game is available when I have the cash for it, I'm getting it immediately irrespective of the one's I have already.

Boblee Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 There are some people who really have enough money to throw in video games. It's cool to do that once in a while on my opinion but not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
