How long do you think your backlog could sustain you right now?
- Thread starter Mekanos
- Start date
Probably a good many months, despite my backlog looking more like a Post-It note compared to many lists I see in this community when those threads pop up. As it is I'm in the middle of The Witcher 3, Gears 5, and Divinity OS.
The Uncharted series
The Last of Us
Jak 2 and 3
The entire PlatinumGames collection
Devil May Cry 1-3
The Banner Saga 1-3
Final Fantasy V and VI
Dark Souls
Metal Gear Solid 1-4
Mega Max X7-X8
DOOM
TNO
Recore
+ 20 Steam indies
Yeah thats like 2 years of games

The RPGs and VNs alone would be impossible to beat within my lifetime, unless I literally did nothing else but play games.
Add the other genres and it's a wrap, thats just not happening.

I have 554 unplayed games out of 907 in my steam library alone. And out of the remaining 353 games, I have finished to completion only like 30%. So I'm going to say several years at the least.
I have 6 games I haven't played on Switch.
Some of them are pretty huge, but I could easily finish everything in a few months.
If I didn't do so many playthroughs of Three Houses, I would already be done with everything in my library.

But of course I know that.
Still, it's nice to be able to think "I'm in the mood for some strategy game", open your library and pick one.
I have Yakuza 3, 4, and 5 waiting. There's still Persona 5 Royal if I need it. Also I never gave DQXI much of a shot, and was interested in Builders 2.
I'm still playing Iceborne as well, so I have many hours of games on the backburner.
Edit: If I found I was truly without games to play I would buy a Switch and the various games I missed there (Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, etc...).
I don't have a "backlog" though. Tim Rogers explained it well, essentially these are games I know I'll play eventually.

Probably indefinitely. I love going back and replaying old games, and when you add the number of unplayed games I have, plus the genres that require a huge time investment in order to enjoy, such as fighting games or 4X strategies, I will have content to enjoy until I die. Most likely.
If i had all my time free, probably some 2 months...
As it is right now, still going to work, watching and helping watch my daughter (11 months old) and with home work (helping cook, clean, and overall maintenance of the house, since we don't trust other people to do it for us because of the virus), means i get to play some 4-5 hours on the weekends, and, rarely, some 30 minutes during the week at night after get back home.
So, right now, I'd say probably at least the hole year if i were to finish every game i own on Switch (only platform i own right now)

If we're talking everything I own, digital and physical, it's thousands of games. I will never be out of games to play even if I never buy a new one ever again. I keep buying new ones though....
In theory, with the amount of games I own, several years but in practice...
Yeah, I have this habit as well and I can't seem to pinpoint why I keep doing it.

At least a year, probably two. I've got quite a few to play through on Steam. Surprisingly, I have literally none on my Switch, as I've actually kept up on there, and on my PS4 I've probably only got 2 or 3 games left?
I've got quite a few lengthy JRPGs left on Steam, so that is what I've been working on as of late.

What site is this? And I assume it imports profiles? I want to see how far into the red I am on my current backlog.I dont know, you tell me
I don't really have much of a backlog, so I'd probably play the same fighting games & shooters (also Animal Crossing). Likewise, I'm avoiding buying anything new since I'm saving for a PS5 later this year.
Try having to reformat your main drive and losing potentially hundreds of hours of saves. I don't know whether I will start some games again even though they were great. Start Dark Souls 1,2,3 over again? For the millionth time. And Shakira: Hips die twice? Somehow they're the easiest to stomach. The Witcher and Kerbal with.... untold amount of hours in. They might be tough.
Though considering I have nothing else to do I have managed to beat more games in a month than I did over last year.

Absolutely backlog only... maybe about 3 years?
491 games, lots of short ones, lots of games I would probably drop. But also a couple of massive ones.
If I include replays of old favs I guess I would need a bit more.
I can easily beat 150 games in a year if I feel like it. Had Animal Crossing not come out I would probably have been at 70 or so for the year now. But since AC came out I have not beaten a single thing so I am stuck at 50 games beaten in 2020. Oops.
A huge remake of the site is in the works but I don't know how much it will change in that regard.

Backloggery and you have to do everything manually. Yep, one by one!

Backloggery and no - it is all manual input.
Been a member for over 8 years lol.
At least a decade, after which I would probably forget about most of them and be able to replay them haha
I'm very serious in saying that I probably have enough games to last the rest of my life (and I plan on living at least 200% the time I've already lived.)
Just throw in FFXIV to fill in the gaps and we're golden.

Bundles featuring 10+ games for like $12 and sometimes even less money than that and then also free games from a ton of sources (Steam, EGS, GOG, Uplay, etc).
Why do you do that?
Cause I do the same fricking thing and I never know why. Rise of tomb raider, horizon zero dawn, botw, ff6 and etc... I always think I'm going to get back to them and I usually don't.
It looks like I'm sitting at ~260 games that I've either never played or never finished.
Throw in multiplayer/sandbox games, I could last over a decade if I wanted. But, even still, it would only be a couple years before I felt like I had nothing to play.

If I were to play at the speed that I'm playing games right now, it would take me years to get through my backlog, if I were 16 years old it would take me maybe two-three months lol
Big oof. Props to everyone with the patience to do that. I'll check it out later.
I pretty much always survive just playing old favourites. I could play smash, WoW, SC 1+2, Diablo 1+2, plants vs zombies along with a host of other old games forever. The best games I never get bored of. It's awesome because I don't need to spend much on gaming.
I have probably around 200 console games with less than an hour of playtime before even touching my steam library. And a majority of the games I've "beaten" I haven't touched any of the side content. Close to 10 years sounds about right.
