Forgive me brothers and sisters, for I have sinned! The Steam summer sale… a horrible time for backlog slaying.. I bought DLC for Renowned Explorers, which means I put even more time into that instead of my backlog and a friend convinced me to buy GTA V cause he wants to play online heists with me… this is going to be quite a time sink… :-(
On the bright side: I did finish two SG wins: The Collider and My Name is Mayo, though I did use an autoclicker for the last one to mop up the achievements ;-) So yeah, I need to keep faith and continue working on my backlog.. If some of you can share some words of encouragment, it’d be appreciated!
I know that feeling, I bought GTAV and Witcher 3 (among many other games), there goes hundreds of hours of my life :/
I could stop myself from buying Witcher 3 fortunately.. I feel for you!
Hopefully my tactic will work and I won’t be looking at a 88% grey circle anymore soon :-)
89% never played
Your tactic worked, but not in the way you originally intended…
Oh no… it’s even worse than I expected! :’(
Take your time, just keep checking back on BLAEO and it’ll eventually make you start killing your backlog again \o/
GTA V is definitely a time-sinker if you and your friend get into it! I got it when it was released on PS3. Me and my friend spent countless hours in GTA online, the most fun I’ve had in a multiplayer game in recent years. Haven’t played it for almost a year though.
I checked my Social Club stats.. 576 hours online. Oh god.
You’ll have to tell me how the DLC is, I am still on the fence.
I really like the new DLC! There’s two new expeditions: a 3* one (Andes) and a 5* one (Lost Island), with both some interesting exploration mechanics.. In Andes there’s fast travel between some points which gives more opportunities to get to the interesting node. I won’t spoil Lost Island but it was pretty fun! And some fights were tough (one especially on Lost Island!), but I don’t think I’ve died in one of the new expeditions yet so not too hard.
The other big addition is the campfires. Basically at every expedition you have a campfire were something happens to your crew. Either simply get +8 treasure for instance or you get a special crew member story with benefits. Some of them are really awesome so it makes the game a bit easier. The campfire stories are basically a deck of cards and you unlock new cards by playing the game and at every campfire you can only pick between 4 selected cards so you still have to be a bit lucky to get the good cards.. It gives you some extra opportunities in crew building, so that’s really nice, but as I said, it feels a bit easier (or maybe I’ve just gotten better at the game ;-))
Wait.. this is no encouragment to work on my backlog.. this just makes me want to play Renowned Explorers again! :-P
Well… you’ve sold me. Next paycheck for sure.
