Do you have a game backlog of shame?

[Broccoli]

I was sitting recently looking at my library and I had 230+ games, of which I have completed 16 (I know I'm ashamed haha) I had become a procrastinating gamer who feared the daunting challenege of playing his games!

BUT NO MORE

Anyway I thought it would be a cool idea to playthrough the games I haven't completed yet and document the adventure.

Thus far I have completed 3 games in 2015 (I have write ups on them too)

Brothers ATOTS
Deadlight
Mark of the Ninja

I don't have many PC gaming friends (IRL) :( close friends that play on console don't understand steam sales and humble bundle etc so don't really get it...

But I know there are people out there that do, people like YOU!!

I'm reaching out to all you Procrastinating Gamer's to join in my adventure with me and let's battle through our library of shame together.

I'm documenting it on www.suchgameshame.com

I need allies.. I need support... :/

Will happily chat and game with others, feel free to add me and tell me the games you have but never played that shame you the most :)

I definitely have a huge backlog. Probably over 200 games. I decided to start working through it, as well. So far this year, I've gone through Crysis 2, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Black Lake Prototype, Brazen Prototype, and I'm currently playing through Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing.

I'm ashamed to have not started Alien Isolation yet. I got a code for it when I bought a new GPU, and I've heard it's amazing, but I've never been in the mood to play it.

My current technique is to target the short games first, shrinking my backlog and making it look less intimidating. Also, since I never consider a game truly "finished" until I have all the achievements, if the game has achievements, I target achievement-less games first.

I'm also ashamed of the number of games I'm in the middle of, but just can't bring myself to play. They consist of:

Afterfall Insanity
Borderlands 2
Cloudbuilt
Expeditions: Conquistador
Kung Fu Strike: The Warrior's Rise
Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae
Orcs Must Die! 2
Pound of Ground
Puddle
Rock of Ages
The Swapper
Zen Bound 2

I'm with ya!

Part of the struggle for me is that I used to love k/m rpgs and I was good at gaming [or at least decent] but now I am painfully slow and can't sit at a computer for more than a few minutes unless it's a controller-based game where I can move around more and not get stiff joints or hurt my wrists so much.

Some, I had to give up because I couldn't do the platforming at all :( It really sux cuz I thought Darksiders was amazin' but I just can't do the jumping puzzles. I'm completely stuck and frustrated.

I bought Skyrim on a sale awhile back and I thought I would love it like I did Morrowind, and less so, Oblivion. I've tried four times now to get into it and I just can't :( I know it is a superior game but it's like I can't get sucked into it for some reason?

I made it through Bioshock I but not II, yet and I have Bioshock Infinity in the queue.

I may not have as many games as other people but I am struggling to get through what I DO have plus I have another 30 games on GOG of which I've played about 10.

I think part of me now resists game that seem "too big" and are sandbox-y because they feel so endless?

So I empathize. I really do! The shame of it all *big sigh*

Oh and Borderlands is on sale and looks like a lot of fun so I am considering it, too...

Whatchoo think? Borderlands 2 GOTY is on for only $10?

I think targeting the short games is a good idea! I might try that one out. How do I find out which games are shorter [besides the obvious?]

I'm stuck in the middle with you *lol* on quite a number of games I seem unable to finish.

I never cared about completionism or achievements so I feel for ya if you're worrying about that on top of just finishing up the backlog.

Dunno but I think the point is to help each other play through our backlogs of games?

I just made the mistake of checking steam guage, I found out that of the 253 games on my account, Ive not even installed 162 of them
