The Backlog Thread

**Yuri-G** · 2010-05-27 19:47

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.

**Yuri-G** · 2010-05-28 07:57

not bad... some of the things on that PS2 list are making me cringe. we need to make a deal, like... go play Odin Sphere and I'll play Beyond Good & Evil lol

I know there has to be more, but that's off the top of my head.

**MoogleAura** · 2010-05-28 09:09

At first I was shocked by how many games you guys had played but were yet to finish. Then I thought back to games in my backlog...damn. I'll be back to add my list. (Gotta finish SH3 when I get back home in August, thanks for the tips you gave me on the final boss again Atreides) ^^b

**Altanass** · 2010-05-28 09:38

i still havent finished FF12 and i got it on release

**OzzofAsura** · 2010-05-28 09:39

If that's your whole list, you're ballin'.

**Atreides** · 2010-05-28 09:43

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

^ This, also get to Xenosaga III already!

**Headspace** · 2010-05-28 10:50

I think it would be easier to list the games I've beaten.

**Shenrien** · 2010-05-28 11:20

D: SO: Till the End of Time was a great game... I dumped at least 400hrs into it.

**Yuri-G** · 2010-05-28 12:33

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.

haha for real.

**ArchDizzle** · 2010-05-28 12:34

Yep you can read II's story and skip having to play through it.

**SnickySnacks** · 2010-05-28 13:12

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.

**Jakson** · 2010-05-28 13:18

Megaman 9, 10, ZX (or w/e it is for the DS)
FFXII (also had it since it came out, never played)
FFXIII (almost done, needed 2 Adamantites for TH and to beat orphan again for 5 Star before 4th xbox RRoD'd)
LoZ:LTTP (advance)
FFIII (DS)

**MoogleAura** · 2010-05-28 21:01

Finally compiled my list. I may go back to some of the games that I lost the will to play one day, but for various reasons I just stopped playing them but still own them. When I get home in August, I will have a whole year's worth of backlogged games for my PS3 to play. D:
