Topic: Too many games on your "to-do list"?

Posts 1 to 20 of 24

I am overwhelmed with how many games I have on my "to-do list" right now, and being that I just started a new job I do not know how to manage all of them with such little free time to play. I am playing about 6 different games right now, and I just want to beat them and go on to the next one because it is hard to enjoy a game when you are not totally dedicated to that one game.

How do you guys manage your gaming playlists?

I am currently playing...

Mass Effect 2
Infamous
LA Noire
Resistance 2
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Skyrim (going for platinum)


Furthermore, I have two games that I have not even touched yet because I am just waiting to beat a couple of these games. Those games are Bioshock, Mass Effect 3, and Infamous 2.

Once again, how do you guys manage handling a long list of games?

I have over 27 games on my PS3 that I haven't touched(Blame PS+) but most of them are kinda boring and downloaded them hoping that someday I might complete them, Some are: Knytt Underground, Saints Row 2, Zombie Apocalypse: Never Die Alone, Residen Evil 5 etc..

I manage them setting different albums names to each game depending on their categories: Complete, Incomplete, Online, Multiplayer, Arcade and 100%. Then I only need to push square and they will be completly organized in folders.

I will never buy a game without beating it, unless its one random PS+ games that bore me. -_-

PS: This to do list of games are also know as backlog.

I don't even bother keeping a to-do anymore. I just play whatever I feel like playing when I feel like it, which is becoming rare these days.

I wish I had the ability to do this, but I simply can't. I have to beat these games or else it'll drive me nuts.

Personally I try very hard to finish games and not buy new ones until the last one is completed, but I fail miserably and keep buying. I refuse to join PS+ because that would just make things worse.

Currently actively playing:
Dragon's Dogma : Dark Arisen
Bioshock Infinite
Hitman Absolution
Catherine
LA Noire technically, but I haven't picked it up for some time.

Weekend Kid Friendly games:
Assault Horizon
Portal 2 (nearly there)
Birds of Steel

They will all stop for The Last of Us next week, which I will buy day one. And I would love to fit in Metro Last light, but so far it is just impossible. I hope to get to it at some point, but need to finish a couple first.

I honestly dont know what I would do if I didn't have such a huge backlog of games.  I guess I would so something constructive like plant a tree or find a cure for cancer.


Nah what am I thinking I probably would add more to my backlog lol.

@Beaston
While I'd highly recommend infamous 2, I would actually tell you that you really need to play 1 first.

@ztpayne7
I actually have no.1, installed and ready to go.
Out of all the games, I thought that inFamous would be the one that I didn't have to play in sequence.

Actually, some decisions in infamous 1 carry over into 2 (very few) along with some benefits if you played the first one.  And I think you'll care about cole a lot more if you start with 1. Especially considering the intro to 2. I'd even say its more important to play infamous in order than uncharted, because drake comes across as more likable and also because his stories feel stand alone (with some interactions making references to the previous ones) and such. Infamous 2 really feels like it picks right up where the first left off.

ztpayne7 - Thank you, I played inFAMOUS 1 last night... and  I can totally understand why you would recommend playing them in sequence. When I started inFAMOUS 2, I was super hero with powers fighting "the Beast". That was all. I had no history or story on Cole.
Now I know everything ! and I am able to see him grow, from strong - to STRONGER
