    The Backlog Thread

    since people talk a lot in the games you're playing thread about their backlogs, I thought I'd try and list all the games I own that I haven't finished.
    - I did not include collections (except for Phantasy Star on GBA)
    - I did not include puzzle or fighting games without a real end (note that Puzzle Quest does have an ending so it counts)
    - I left out games I own on one system but beat on another
    - I only included games I have a physical copy of
    - I did not include games that I've beaten but intend to do more with, such as getting a platinum in FFXIII or all stars in Super Mario Galaxy
    - Open-ended games (hi, Bethesda!) count as beaten if the main storyline was finished

    I also categorized them into games I've played pretty far into (a lot of those are at the end boss or dungeon, lol), games I've barely started or haven't touched but might someday, and games that I have no desire to beat (though some of those I've gotten pretty far in, like Arc the Lad PS2).

    the list is... uh... staggering. wow.

    feel free to post your own if you feel like it. I bet someone can beat me.

    I know 2 I'm at the last dungeon but my friend told me the ending so my motivation to finish died. 3 I need to try again since I wanted it to be more like 2 but it's good in its own right. 1 someone just lent me and I haven't started yet.

    normally I'm really good about finishing a game once I start it, and not playing anything else until I'm done, but a lot of those are left over from when I had gaming ADD and switched between 5+ games every day.

    I've had such an awesome time playing Rune Factory for Wii that I'll almost definitely hit up the 2 DS versions next, even though I hear they're not as good and whatnot. Sin & Punishment 2 is supposed to be amazing so I might continue my 6 month wii kick a little longer, lol. Actually... with Arc Rise Fantasia soon I'll probably be playing wii for the foreseeable future, I think I have a wii addiction

    from what I've heard, I should skip Xenosaga II entirely, no? if I find a copy of III might do that and read II's story online.

    and SO is fun gameplay-wise but I can't stand the characters and story. I just can't deal with them at all.

    I'm tempted to post my list, but the act of compiling it would probably take the better part of the afternoon.

    Suffice to say, Parasite Eve (PSX, 1998 ) is on that list as one of the earliest games I bought when I knew I didn't have time to play it and it just gets worse from there. Of course, I haven't missed any major release in the last 15 years that I was interested in so I've ended up with quite a few games (and movies) that I've yet to chew through.

    I blame Final Fantasy XI as it's a huge timesink.

    Hell, my PSP is still in the original packaging as I've been too busy on GBA/DS games to even take it out.
