Powered through 999 and VLR prior to ZTD coming out. What a ride that was.

>have a ridiculous backlog
>new entry in a series gets announced, so you put all the previous games on the backlog to play through before you get to the new one

That's actually the easiest way for me to finish a game in the backlog.
It immediately gets priority because I need to be ready for the sequel.

When did you realize you're never going to finish the backlog and you should just give up on ever thinking about it?

>buy game
>backlog it for 17 years
>see that it's on steam now
>buy it on steam
>continue backlogging it
Why do I do this?

>>383888274
I realized backlogs are stupid years ago. Now I just play whatever I want instead of feeling guilty about not playing some trash I told myself I'd play.

>>383888274
When I sold my Wii and realised I could never play No More Heroes or Madworld

>>383888473
>No More Heroe
The final boss is your sister
>Madworld
The final boss is a black man

The key to not having a backlog or at least having a managable one is not buying compulsively.

>>383885321
i hope someones backlog contains helldivers because damn i want a helldivers 2, or a large expansion for it.

>>383888462

Exact same boat as you. Whatever, they were great games and I'm glad I got to play through them

>>383888535
Uh thanks

>>383888274
I never fell for the backlog meme to begin with. I only finish 5% o the games I play, if that. Not every game is gonna hold your interest all the way through and that's fine.

>>383888901
It's not a backlog unless it periodically creeps up on you in the middle of the night. Come on, anon, there's a ton of games you'd love to play, but don't know they exist(ed).
