How the fuck do you deal with a giant Backlog? Humans aren't optimized for gaming...

99% of games released i have no interest in playing

Fuck I'm here, I just stare at the PC screen and boot up Overwatch again

I uninstalled basically every game off my PC other than a couple of roguelikes

You just... don't play them.
You're allowed to do that, you know.
You just mentally X them out and cancel them from your schedule.
They're not "unfinished".
You're not less of a person for playing them.

Just stop. You are in control of your life. Not the games. Not anyone else. If you are at a point where the games are not bringing you joy or causing you to neglect other parts of your life you need to stop playing them.

Dont forget that online game with infinite gameplay

No good game is longer than 12 hours.

>RPGS
I already have a job thanks.

>Silent Hill/Silent Hill 2/Shatmems
Literally 8 hours the first time and 3 hours each replay. Same for REmake.

>Resident Evil 6
A weak entry, probably because its 15+ hours and goes above the 12 hour golden rule. Still a good action/tips hybrid if a little sloppy.

you deal with a backlog by accepting that you won't finish all of these games and stop trying to force yourself through all of them like its some sort of required checklist

shits pointless bro, just play what you feel like in the present, if you never get around to some of them, oh well. there's more far more media available these days than a person can ever realistically ingest so worrying about getting it all in is futile

It's not that the games don't seem good, it's that they are too similar to other things I have done. There nothing novel to experience.

Some people don't seem to have this problem because they don't play games for this reason. They can happily slog through 20 different JRPGs that all have similar gameplay and stories. Not for me. The last one of those I played for 40 hours was way back with Final Fantasy XII. And I didn't finish it because near the end I just lost all motivation. Like it just hit me that I was only playing out of habit rather than any sense of enjoyment. Nah, that's not my style. So I jumped into other genres I hadn't played much (Dark Souls was the next game I took up, and that lasted until 3.)

I look at games now and idk man. I play some extremely hard and weird ROM hacks and that gives a little feeling of being out there in the unknown again. But they're frustrating due to the extreme difficulty.

I think its so hard for video gamers to say to themselves that it might be time for a new hobby because our identities are partially wrapped up in it and starting something else is seen as proving people who said "you'll grow out of it" right and we don't want to do that. But those people don't fucking matter.

I did that years ago. Worked for a little while but no longer. Now what?

this. I learnt that humping from game to game all the time without ever finishing them was a huge waste of time and money and never satisfied me.

Now I just play Dynasty/Samurai warriors games, Monster Hunter and Souls games and have other hobbies as well.

Limit yourself to a few series you really like, play them to death and eventually consider moving to other series.

>Cut out the JRPGs because they're all shit and all the same

Learn a different language and you can experience your gaming backlog in a different way sometimes. It will force you to take it slow too.

Chains of Olympus was a little longer than 3 for me but I thought it was a pretty quality game.

>so many games in your backlog
Why not restart it? Do you REALLY have to play all of those games? Also how about only buying 1 or 2 games at most that you will actually beat and then buying the next one? Like stop being retarded and having to play everything even if you dont really want

Humans are optimised for producing humans.
Create 6 offspring, have each offspring create 6 more, and instruct your progeny to carry on your legacy.
After 4 generations, you should have 1300 offspring. If you divide the task of playing videogames between them, you could play every single videogame.
But do try to make sure whoever has to play Fallout 4 is properly restrained so they don't commit fratricide over the indecency of being forced to play the shit game.

Stop playin games.

I enjoy fighting games with anyone even cheesers (no better feeling than punishing cheese), enjoy their mechanics and terminology, enjoy helping others understand when they desire in pursuit of further competition.

Why are you taking a month to play through a 20 hour game? 3 hours a day and you'd be finished in a week, two if you like to be thorough. Stop wasting time online and play your games, if you really want to get through them. If you find yourself not enjoying a game, drop it and move on. You can get through everything you listed in a year or less, especially if you drop the mediocre games partway.

very slowly user. You'll realize you cant completionist every game if you want to play them all. Soon you start giving up on the shittier ones early on instead of sticking them out, then it helps. I went from like 280 games in my backlog to 130 in the last 4 years. I swear I'll make it.

I have 60 hours in the last two weeks on just rocket league

git fuckin gud

you just quit your job, at least that's what i'm going to do this monday
