Topic: Playstation 4 Backloggery and most wanted!

My Backlog:

Horizon Zero Dawn
Nier Automata
Batman Arkham Knight
Spiderman DLC (Got all three just haven't played them yet)
Jedi Fallen Order
Control

@KratosMD I do something similar. I have a storage place right next to my gaming set up and another out of sight and I pull one or two from my library at a time as I complete some from the “immediate” backlog. I have something similar on my HDD by use of folders. A “current” folder, a “complete” folder and a “not complete” and a few folders for the backlog games separated by length and genre. It’s nice to just see a few games in the current rotation and not be overwhelmed by the enormity of games to play.

@Th3solution I've just got my games on my dashboard in one line, no folders. I like too see what games i have on my ps4 without having to drill down into my folders all the time. I usually trade or give away my games, so don't need much display space to keep the cases in. The dozen or so I've got are in a small cabinet thing in my lounge.

@JohnnyShoulder I was just recently trying to decide which of my completed games to keep. I was in the habit of selling back completed games, but I’m finding most of their value is so poor now that it’s not worth it and I’ve started keeping more lately. It leaves me the option to replay titles and also serves as a nice physical collection to look at (like favorite books on a bookshelf) but it also takes up more space. I probably need to off load some of them and recoup some money and gain a little storage space.

@Th3solution it depends what you buy and when you sell them. Any annual games (fifa, cod, ass Creed) you need to blot them quickly and sell them within 6 months. You will always lose money but you will make 60% of the price you paid back. Obscure Japanese games fare way better. Disgaea 5 held its price for 2 years!

@Th3solution Yeah they don't hold their value for too long these days, I usually have a few so feels like I'm getting something. I have so much credit at CEX I just use it to top it up. Sometimes I just give the games away to friends or family or to a charity shop if there are not worthy much. I never replay games and I don't believe in just keeping stuff around just cos they look nice if they are serving no practical use any more. I will probably go fully digital next gen.

@DonJorginho don't play it.

@themcnoisy Any more reasoning would be helpful lol.

@DonJorginho it's scary.

@themcnoisy Did you manage to complete it? I can handle a fair amount of horror games but am just wondering if it is worth giving this a play and if it isn't heart attack levels.

@DonJorginho give it a go mate. I hated it. I think @AdamNovice is a better person to ask.

@themcnoisy @DonJorginho What game is this mate?

@AdamNovice Resident Evil 7 mate

Resi 7 is really good, a proper Resi game about survival horror and inventory management. Not a bad story either.
As for jumpscares, well there's a fair few and I absolutely hate jumpscares. So to ensure I coped with it I watched a YouTube video of all of them so I knew when they came. It's not a purist way to play and it spoiled a bit of the story but I was able to enjoy the game a lot more. It's the game's atmosphere that does it more then anything.

@AdamNovice what about VR?

(I already know the answer this is more for @DonJorginho as you posted somewhere else a while ago)

New Backlog

Detroit - Finish the game
RoundGuard - Obtain and Master all the relics
Puyo Puyo Tetris - Burst 100,000 bubbles
Dreams - Finish the main game and set max sassyness to a puppet.

Once that's all done I will start something new. Really glad I have picked up Detroit again - those initial sections are rubbish, now it's getting really really good.

@themcnoisy Hate to be the one to tell you told you so, but you know....

@JohnnyShoulder one of the reasons I never tossed it. I'm just passed the bit with the crazy android who's stress goes up and down in the abandoned house. Fantastic section and unnerving.

I was still very uncomfortable around the dad and daughter section. I know drugged up psychos are running around in the real world and I would rather not see it happening in a game or film.

Too dark for me. Also almost every none player character is massively flawed, I'm looking forward to meeting a person who is nice! Abusive Police, Sons and Fathers, the game is anti men.

New year. I'm just starting fresh with this.
