Well.. i have a backlog. Or rather backlogs. Apart from the gaming one, i also have extensive backlogs for movies/ tv shows/ cartoon series and podcasts. I decided to do something about the gaming one so here i am. The problem with having so many stuff i want to go through, is that i constantly have to push one backlog to the side in order to focus on going through another. That means that i don’t know how consistent i can be in my gaming habits as for example i might play a game one day and then not play it again for some days because i was preoccupied with movie watching or something else.

Plan/Categorization

• I will keep my backlog attack plan simple. At least for now. I will keep at maximum 3-4 games “in progress”. That will be the games i am actively going through as frequently as i can/am in the mood for. I will try to give greater priority to gaming instead of my other backlogs and especially concentrate on playing SG wins first. I’ll update every once in a while when i finish a game or to add new games to be played.

• I will categorize all games i have finished as “Completed” even if i didn’t get 100% achievements. I always explore everything in a game, do every single side quest, try every mode etc. but i am not an achievement hunter. I might get the easy achievements but those that require playing a game a certain way or second playthroughs for example, i skip over. When i finish a game, i believe i am 100% done with it and seen everything the game had to offer. Thus, i don’t think categorizing as simply “Beaten” the main story would be an accurate representation of my time spent with a game.

• I’ll use “Beaten” for games that i have beaten but that might require more than 1 playthrough to experience the whole game or ones that i might want to re-play for some reason (big update dropped that changed things a lot, new DLC etc.)

My favorite genre is RPGs. Any kind of RPG really but my most favorite would be dungeon crawlers, top down tactical ones and those focusing on good storytelling and choices. One exception would be JRPG. I am not that fond of them (perhaps because i never owned a console and grew up on western RPGs) but i might still play them if i find they’re good enough. Second favorite genre would be Strategy with Turn-Based Strategy being my favorite type.

And that’s about it. What else is there to say? Oh, i tend to write really long sentences so…. sorry if you’re tired of reading but hey you made it to the end :D
