Topic: Playstation 4 Backloggery and most wanted!

Time to revisit this thread.

Old Backlog:
1) Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4) Done and dusted
2) The Messenger (Switch) Haven't even started
3) AI: The Somnium Files (Switch) Haven't played too far in

That was a bit of a bust. Although I did buy two of my three upcoming purchases (one isn't out yet), and completed at least one of them. And, in fairness, I completed a number of other games in that period.

I think I'm going to try a different approach, as the multi-month approach allows me to become distracted from my backlog goals. Here are the games I want to complete by the end of next month. I'll update by the end of July.

New Backlog:

• Yakuza Kiwami (PS4)
• Hyper Light Drifter (Switch)

Current status:
Playing Ratchet and Clank Remaster
Occasionally a bit of GT Sport

Will play next:
Either rest of R&C games on PS Now
Or Batman Trilogy
Heard Control is quite good

That didn't take long! I hadn't even started either of those games when I made that last post.

Old Backlog:
Yakuza Kiwami (PS4)
Hyper Light Drifter (Switch)

So, I want to get through this new set of games by September 1. Let's be a bit more ambitious this time:

New Backlog
DOOM 3 + Resurrection of Evil DLC (PC)
Erica (PS4)
Astral Chain (Switch)
Catherine: Full Body (Switch)
Paper Mario: The Origami King (Switch)
Runner3 (Switch)

edit: Added Catherine. Almost forgot about it! Holy moly I'mma be busy!

@Kidfried Nice. We can be September 1st buddies.

@RogerRoger Did you ever get round to Spider-Man 3’s tie-in game? I had it on PS2 and thankfully it had barely anything to do with the movie but I remember it being legitimately good and I sunk quite a few hours into it back in the day.

@RogerRoger Ah yes, the ‘next-gen’ version of Spider-Man 3 and its infamous cutscenes.

Since my last post I now have a 12 month sub to ps now. So rather than buy some of the awesome games of 2020 now, I'm going to hold out until my holidays in October when I will have more time to enjoy them. Hopefully at a bargain price!

It's a really weird time, all work and the kids are off so I have hardly any time to game. That will change towards the back end of the year once things return to a relative normality.

I really want to get Conan Exiles and Metal Gear Survive on PS4. Arguably two great survival games.

Do you have ps plus? Conan Exiles was on it a couple of years back. I wouldn't class Metal Gear Survive great by any means, but it should be cheap as chips these days.

@JohnnyShoulder I have PS Plus, but Conan is showing up there for £44.99 .I won't get Metal Gear Survive then.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Just out of interest what made you call Metal Gear Survive great? I mean you may like it, but it did review pretty badly. Conan is coming up as free for me. There are a few different versions though.

@JohnnyShoulder I liked the crystal-headed zombies, and the crafting and foraging elements.

@JohnnyShoulder Does it depend on how long you have been a member for? 'Cause I only signed up around December of last year.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Ah yes it was on way before then. You only get the games since you've been signed upto to the service.

@JohnnyShoulder Fair enough. Also, I am aware that this is a family-friendly website, but would it be ok to talk about certain dating sims on here? (As I have one in my backlog that I wanted to play as I couldn't find anything else that seemed unusual and interesting game-wise.)

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I'm pretty sure that is OK, but might be best to either take a look at the rules or ask one of the mods. As long as you are not discussing anything illegal or something like that, you should be fine.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Sorry to butt in, but why wouldn't it be OK to discuss a dating sim?

Don't go into graphic detail about sex scenes and you'll be fine.

@Ralizah Yeah, I’m somewhat worried as to the extent of this dating sim. And this is coming from somebody who changed system locale to Japanese in order to play Dramatical Murder at the age of like 14. The game with scenes involving a robot lion and cake frosting. Bloody Nitroplus.

@Ralizah @JohnnyShouler @nessisonett The game is called Mr. Massagy, and it involves dating women using a Tinder-esque app, there are apparently, as the name would suggest, some 'massage' elements, and it's from the makers of My Name Is Mayo, which I'm currently playing on PS4. As I said before, I was looking for something unusual, and it seems like an amusing game at first glance, I really enjoyed Catherine: Full Body, so hopefully it will be more of the same, just minus the puzzle stuff. I talked about My Name Is Mayo in What PS4 Games Are You Currently Playing, if anyone would care to discuss that with me there.
