How Big Is Your Video Game Backlog?

[Pike]

I don't know, like 200? That includes games for old systems I just kind of hang onto. I tend to sell the ones I know I'll never play again, if they're worth something. Otherwise they go into a box. But I've played them all.

How many have you beaten? I include games I've played but not beaten (or put considerable amount of time in, if they are "unbeatable") in my backlog.

I'm just curious!

Sometimes I just quit games, but I have a few that I still want to continue. Nothing major, though. Mostly it depends on a buddy being available for co-op.

Backlog: Persona 3, Divinity: Or. Sins, CK II

CK II

Play this first!!!

CK II

Play this first!!!

Well, to be fair, I'm like 5 hours into Persona 3, should probably finish that first, right?

I've never understood the concept of a backlog. If I want to play a game I play it.

Virtually all of those. I'd trade in the ones I didn't like but I'm (un?)usually careful as to only buying games I plan to play fairly soon.

[Pike]

Well. That's awesome, congrats to you for keeping your backlog down!

Mine wouldn't be nearly so big but I've ended up with so much from Steam sales and humble bundles.

20-40. Makes me throw up a little bit to think of that and then FFXV, Uncharted 4, and Doom coming out this year.

[Formalhaut]

At a rough guess, maybe 10? I don't own many games, and that figure is including games that I don't own yet but really want to play.

If we're counting only games that I possess now and haven't beaten, then it's closer to 3-4. Tales of Xillia... Beyond: Two Souls... FFT: War of the Lions... and Miles Edgeworth Investigations 2 (the fan-translation).

[escobert]

Not too big. I'd say less than 20 but more than 10.

[Madame Adequate]

Easily over 300; about 250~ on Steam, with around 70 on Gog.com, plus the handful of PC games that still aren't on either, plus I dunno, two or three dozen console games I still would want to complete someday.

It's simple, really. First, you take a lot of games that you find interesting, but haven't had time to finish yet. Then you call this a backlog, and then you have a backlog.

[Del Murder]

Oh, I thought it was only for games you actually own. Now this makes tons more sense.

[Spuuky]

We are in fact talking about games we own. I have hundreds of games I haven't played. I have most of them via bundles with other games and things like that. And some few that I've bought at big discounts knowing I'd want to play them at some point, but not having found the time yet.

[Pheesh]

About 90 on steam and maybe another 20-30 across all my other consoles. Honestly, some of them I may never get around to actually beating though.
