This year the standout games I played are hogwarts legacy and Supraland. Been playing alot of multiplayer games in the past while as well as spending frankly way too much time on trimps. Backlog percentage has grown a bit sadly. 'Big ol Dump of games from this past year.

Second check I've done where the results have gotten "worse".

So as a TLDR my goal of killing my unfinished and unplayed has been woefully broken. My unfinished number has gotten much worse as I bought a bunch of bundles recently...but if you look at the overall percentages in relation to the total it looks like I'm doing fine :3 it even looks like I'm doing better on "unfinished" despite having roughly the same number.

Late Wrap up to 2019

Okay So I Played 128 games in 2019 Which in a certain way of looking at it is alot however I still failed my gaming resolutions.

So my two resolutions from last year were to-

  • Continue doing a PoP and a challenge me every month :3. I very nearly made this but dropped the ball the past 2-3 months.
  • half my Unstarted and Unfinshed games this year. (from 80 down to 40) and (66 down to 33). Till augest I was doing okay...slightly off track but still playing a bunch of games. However by december I had barely made any change since augest. I half failed this one. My Unstarted Goal was met (I'm now at 40 games never played) but my Unfinished is still at 52 games. Because I didn't make my goal I want to reuse it for the upcomming year.

So Late New Years Resolutions for 2020. Halve both my Unfinished (52 to 26) and Unstarted (40 to 20). Experiance from my failed year lets me know It doesn't seem hard (only a combined 46 games) but Any game I buy ends up making that Unstarted marker go up and every game I start playing just swaps it to the Unfinished catagory making that marker go up. balancing the two is wild.

Finally My Pop for the past 3 months...I beat Kentucky Route Zero and 2064: Read Only Memories (along with the title by the same person later for todays month VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action) but They Bleed pixels and Cook serve delicious have started getting too hard for my feeble self. Additionally I've been challenged to beat kona two months in a row but I'm really not having fun and from what I can tell I'm like only a 5th or a 4th of the way through it...when I'm already past its hltb time. Maybe that hltb time is for people who just speed through it with a guide idk I get lost wandering around the woods. I know Yakuza 0 is praised highly so I keep telling myself I'm going work on it but I keep not being in the specific mood to want to invest alot of time into it...

POP Picks for the next 2 month cycle...

Should probably wait so its 12 months but I wanted to post it now.
This past year I embraced marking a much higher percentage of games as "wont play"
If I continue at my current gaming rate I should beat my backlog by next year... \o/
once that happens I'll remove the restrictions I've imposed on myself (and let me buy games for myself on steam/non bundled)
I'll still be working on going back to some of the stuff I've dropped and trying to complete stuff I've beaten but it will be a glorious time.


Bendy and the Ink Machine

6.2 hours, 29 of 60 achievements


Bendy is a horror game with a unique and well done art style. It does a good job of creating a creepy atmosphere with unsettling points (every time you leave and come back a new cutout appears for example) or twisted cartoons and every time you see shadows start to curl and gather you know to hide somewhere and hope you don't get found.
However the game is overly fond of tedius mechanics...80% of it is fetch quests with some of them get through area x to object y and bring it back then return to y and get a second copy then bring it back then return to object y and come back to the point where you've mapped out the path between the start and the destination and can avoid most monsters.
Or fetch quests in mazes that leave you searching around and around unstil you finally find the last hidden object down path xyz.
I still liked it but in comparison to say soma (a horror game I really liked) I found it lacking.

Moonlighter

36.7 hours, 40 of 67 achievements
Challenge Me


Moonlighter was nothing special yet it managed to sync so much of my time. the gameplay loop of fighting and looting then switching to a shop and melo selling was the right kind of addictive. Even though the combat wasn't the best in comparison to straight combat oriented roguelikes (binding of issac, dead cells etc) and even though the selling wasn't as complex as straight management marketing games the combination was pleasant and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.


Other games I beat this past month

Nurse Love Addiction: is a cute yuri vn about nursing school. The story is well written although after a few hours I started losing some of my intrest and just skipped through to get the last endings.
Portal 2: I start portal years ago and played through all the co-op content as well as a bunch of the single player campaign however its only recently that I finally went back and finished it.- real fun co op and while some part of me liked portal 1 better its defenitly a really good game.
Kathy Rain: free (for a time) point and click game that was funner than I thought it would be.
The Darkside Detective: (played most of it months ago offline with sis only recently played the last 2 chapters) This game has some amazing humor and asthetic I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone with a modicum of humor and a slight enjoyment of P&C games.
60 Parsecs!: Not at all what I thought it was 90% of 60 Parsecs is a chose your own adventure story/randomized choice based story. Defenitly going back and trying some more endings some time.

and a list of multiplayer games I played this past month (ask if you want to know more about any of these)

Real Late Post.


Hollow Knight: was hard to get into and difficult however at the end of the day has become one of my favorite games.
the amount of details and the characterization put into bugs and the expanding world really makes it. I managed to “beat it 100%” and after looking into the requirements to beat it “112%” (pantheons..beating every boss in the game back to back) I’ve noped out of completing this. I still have a few things to do (beat the radiance+last few mask shards) but for now I’m happy with my completion percentage.
years ago when I started this I recommended the game to a few people and now I’m recommending again. The hype for it has died down but if you have the game and haven’t played it or have been thinking of picking it up this is me pushing you to do so :3

Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice: This month I’ve started playing and nearly finished Hellblade which is simultaneously interesting and…dull I guess. Idk I’m enjoying it but keep getting minor bugs (all the lighting going away other than spotlights and having to play with high gamma/slightly weird light) or periodic low fps (something something AMD gpu’s? slightly better after setting -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -sm4 but that was supposedly fixed so idk) and getting more annoyed by the bugs/just stopping instead of trying to continue.

Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.6 Tsumihoroboshi

Games Nice People Have Given Me Play or Pay VN


Higurashi When They Cry Hou - Ch.6 Tsumihoroboshi:
Trying not to write spoilers
This is “officially” the answer arc to chapter 1.
however as the description as to what happens in chapter 1 is not nearly as exciting as the answer arc to chapter 2 and while it would be interesting to re do the whole arc like some of the other answers its not as story friendly. This arc chooses to focus on an entirely different plot/story using something that happens in it to answer the questions raised in Onikakushi-hen. It also answers some questions relating to the overarching plot-line (while bringing up more questions than it answers)
All in all this is one of the stronger arcs and one of my favorites.
also not really a spoiler but- This arc appears to be the first one with a happy ending…until you read one of the tips which reveal the true ending. “The manga has Furude Rika tease the reader that he had his “happy ending but decided to turn the page.”

Genital Jousting

Genital Jousting:
I’m surprised I liked this as much as I did. I got it for the multiplayer but was challenged to play it in this months POP and went through the main story as well.


Bleed 2:
This game looks better than the first one but falls short to it in nearly everything. I really liked Bleed 1 and Bleed 2 is still a good game but its just a bit less fun the levels are too easy and other than 2 of the bosses I went through most of the game without dying/never had to restart a level and I didn’t care much for the story even though its just an excuse for the action.


Recently I got a few horror top-down/rpgmaker games for my GF to play/me to watch.


Mad Father:


 

3.5 hours, 25 of 27 achievements

Was really well done. It created a spooky atmosphere had nice art and other than the screams being really annoying it was a fun experience.

Corpse Party:


 

1.9 hours, 1 of 17 achievements

I’ve had this on my wish-list for years now but its never gone more than 30% on sale so I finally caved and used some humble store credits to make it cheaper…haven’t gotten very far into it (only beat chapter 1) but its real nice so far.

The Crooked Man:


 

0.9 hours, 4 of 27 achievements

Creepy but the mechanics are slightly annoying/ having to check every single area before you hit the specific spot that makes the story progress.

Other than the rest of the crooked man series are there any other good games in this genre? does anyone recommend anything?

Sad Update about dropping.

I just went through my second ABC plan and replaced all the dropped games…in my first plan I just continued through anything dropped but I had already dropped like a third of the new plan…
since the start of this year I’ve been dropping quite a few games.
for various reasons I just dont want to play them anymore.
and some games are trash so I can safely drop them without any worry but other should be good games and its sad that I just can’t get in them…

A few games I’ve dropped recently.

Dreamfall Chapters: I’ve been challenged to play this 3-4 times now. Its a steamgifts win so I have another reason to want to finish this…but for some reason I just can’t get into it…I like story based games and this is popular but I just dont like it. I keep starting it and then 15 minutes later quitting it and doing something else.

The dialog is dumb and simultaniously childish and adult…like it moves from stupid to dark at the drop of a hat. in the first chapter/prolog you walk past people having nightmares-a women crying about her aborted baby or someone trapped in a burning building and you just say “thats so sad, rest in peace dreamer” and the way you say it just sounds fake…
like there are dark themes and the way you say things is worse than alot of fanfictions I’ve read…it wouldn’t be a big deal but its a story based game and dialog is an important part of that…

GOD EATER RESURRECTION: I’m 7(?) hours in and I feel like I’ve seen all the game has to offer…this game reauses the same gameplay loop over and over again and even though there are varried weapons and monsters everything melds together and feels the same…I had fun for about a hour and then slowly lost intrest over the next few. Also remembering LastM’s review saying it made him dislike gaming for awhile I dont want to go through that.

Wings of Vi: This game is too hard…and not in a satisfying way. Super meat boy is hard but the controls are tight enough that if you die you feel like its your fault…this game is full of cheap unavoidable damage sources and the platforming looks fine at first glance but plays really annoyingly. After like a hour of playing it straight my hands started hurting and while people in fourms just state “git gud” but unlike Dark Souls it just comes off as “learn to deal with it” instead of “try and get better”.
I get that its marketed as a hard game but dead cells is hard while remaining fun and this game is just hard.

Killer is Dead: I honestly dont think I like hack and slash games very much…I loved Nier, and had loads of fun with DMC, but I think that was due to the story/graphics and movement/grappling hooks respectivly. This game has higher production quality than I thought going into it but its not enough to make me want to continue…its also making me reconsider other hack and slash games I’ve been wanting to try…


welp these past few days I’ve dropped two of this months POP games…no chance on me dropping the third I’ve been wanting to read higurashi CH.6 for awhile but I still feel kinda guilty…sorry LastM 🙏

mid year stats… skip if your eyes roll over at the thought of numbers.

of the games I’ve played in 2019 so far I’ve completed 8 games and beaten 19 (also dropped 11).
looking at the licenses page on steam (removing DLC) I’ve gained +28 games to my backlog…I barely feel like I’m making a dent in my backlog but hey if you include dropping titles I didn’t like I’m down 10 games. - progress!

Also if you take my unplayed+unfinished from September (171) and my current UP+UF (133) I’ve made a solid 38 game dent in my backlog.
Its not nearly enough and if I follow my current pace it will take years before my backlog is gone. :/ (~20% ~5 years?)
my gaming resolution for 2019 was to halve my unstarted and unfinshed games this year. (from 80 down to 40) and (66 down to 33)…and 5 months in I’m at (57 and 76)
soo… 58% of my unstarted goal and like -30% of my unfinished goal

OOF.

The reason for this goal was to not just shove all my games into the unfinished category and to equally work on my unfinished stuff… I’m failing in that regard. maybe 50% was too optimistic but -30% is worse than even maintaining 0%… I guess I can look to the 18% overall decrease as a positive even if its againsed my goal…anyways on to games.


Played since my last post.



Detention: is a horror point and click game with cool effects and graphics but a tendency to fail in the standard adventure game way…by making nonsensical puzzles and forcing you to break out a guide at times.
for example: At one point you need to read stuff scribbled on a desk…so you find a dead body hanging by his feet and slit his throat with a box cutter to fill a bowl with blood and use that to do a charcoal(blood substituted) print of the desk…thoroughly creepy but what? how was I supposed to figure that out
