Fight with my backlog begins!
I am playing and collecting games for many years now. Some of the games I own on Steam I have already completed, but I would like to play them again, so I won’t be setting them to completed or beaten status yet. maybe I will change my mind
I am not yet sure if I should make some gaming plan or what course should I set for myself exactly. Also, as the Advent started I won’t have much time during December - baking sweets, cleaning, preparing the gifts…. Still, I will try to play regularly!
Hmmm, that sounds like a good idea for a starter.
On the other hand I am trying to lower my backlog on GoG too do not forget about Uplay or Origin!
My starting stats
Progress with my games:
Steamgifts wins:
Those are some horrible numbers… T_T
To start with something positive:
I have finally completed Banished. Great building strategy, for me one of the best. You have to build up a village and sustain its population. Easy to say, hard to achieve. If you build houses too fast you will condemn your population to starvation, if you grow too slowly you will watch your citizens dying out of an old age without offsprings. It's hard to find the middle point and balance everything if you aim to survive for a few hundred years. There is a community workshop which adds new buildings, jobs or adjust AI and even though some of them are nice addition I have not used them. For me the game was satisfying as it was. Also, I have read some complains about little action = warfare. I don't mind it, for once I am happy that I didn't had to concentrate on that part. I find Banished to be very captivating, even if sometimes a little bit frustrating, and it's hard to pull yourself away from it, my playtime speaks clearly. ;)
Steamgifts win. This was an enjoyable game, I liked the story. Even the graphic and music were nice. First story of the collection is not voiced, the voicing for the second one is rather good. I have played on the "hardest" difficulty and the puzzles + hidden games were pretty fair. Although I got stuck in the second extra game and was really frustrated for a moment. Still a good casual game.
My first playthrough and surely not last. I have enjoyed this trip to a twisted reality. I am not sure if I will manage to open all of the achievements as I am not that strong in the direct fight...
SG win. I have enjoyed the first game very much. So now I am trying to complete this one. The premise is still the same - development or decline of gaming experience. I enjoy going from pixel retro to 3D or to platformer and vice versa. But now I have moments when I get frustrated in game - there was a bulletstorm part (I think? I don't play these games) and it just reassured me that I will never play those kind of games. I have to wait till the end, but it won't be better than the first Evoland for me.
So I think that will be all for my first post. Hope it’s okay like this. :3
Also, I am not sure how often should I update my progress…. well I have some time to decide. ;)
Nice to meet you! I hope you enjoy your time here c:
Don’t worry about making a plan or not - if you want to try just hand picking some games to start out with, go ahead! You’ll find something that works for you.
Thank you for the welcome! :3
For now I am mostly checking progress of others and trying to uncover their tactics! ;) I think I will try to beat some of unfinished games, also completing some wins would be fine. Also the Monthly Theme seems tempting, I have few of eligible games in my library. ^^
That’s another good way to get started! In another little bit a new ‘Challenge Me!’ will start, so you can take part in that if you’d like to give you some more direction.
I will be sure to check it out! Thank you. :3
Welcome to BLAEO! I second Tsuper’s thoughts, no need to worry about your backlog plan yet, you’ll figure out what works best as you go. Organizing your library in BLAEO is a good tool already, since it’s much easier to browse your library and look for something new (at least for me it is, browsing my library on Steam only leads to choice paralysis). Have fun with your games!
P.S. I like the fox in your profile, it looks so comfy. :) Reminds me of Seasons after Fall.
Hello, thank you! :)
Yes, you are right I think that a little bit of organization would help me. I know the feeling! I just scroll up and down and slowly succumb to misery. X)
You too enjoy your games! ;)
P.S.: Thank you! I have found it on the net and couldn’t let it go. :3 It’s on my wishlist! The graphics looks so beautiful.
Some of the games I own on Steam I have already completed, but I would like to play them again, so I won’t be setting them to completed or beaten status yet. maybe I will change my mind
You can just use a custom list to tag those games and still set them to beaten/completed. That way you can find them (even more) easily when you feel like replaying something, and still feel the accomplishment of setting stuff to “completed”! Mine’s called “replay some time” ;)
That’s a good idea, thank you. ;)
I am trying to come up with some list, not sure yet how should I divide them. X)
Im glad im not the only repeating stuff :’) Ive done the same with my stories and a few shorter games I managed to complete before doing this. If I hadnt reset everything I know my numbers would be so much better but hey just makes me work harder
Hehe, some games I can play over and over and over again! XD But I feel that I should give some space to the others too. I have bought them to enjoy them, not just let them sitting there looking pretty. ;D I need to hold up my determination!
Welcome to BLAEO and best of luck with your backlog! :)
Banished <3
Thank you for the warm welcome! :3
I know! :D
Welcome to BLAEO!
I was surprised to read that you liked evoland 1 more than the sequel. It’s usually the opposite for most people I’ve seen here. I loved evo2, even though I disliked a couple of minigames (The guitar hero one was the worst for me, I hate rhythm games). Besides that one, I think I enjoy the rest of them, especially the fighting minigame.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy being around! :)
Thank you! :)
Yeah, I have noticed I will be the black sheep. ;) I am now mostly under emotions as there were two parts that played on my nerve, also I am now fighting Cherry and I had to close the game as I was near breaking my keybord out of rage. Tehehe. ^_^ Overall I like it very much!
Thank you again, I will try my best. :3
