“i’m done” just means that i really cannot play the game anymore to the point where i’d actually go insane if i continue.
i forgot to mention because i have a smooth brain but these are games i have already bought but never played.
i made a speadsheet to get through my backlog a while ago and today i hit my milestone for the year.

Zelda 3 == ALttP?
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
yep. i’ll be playing the pc port on my steamdeck.
Stern@lemmy.world 11 months ago
tfw my backlog is 160 games on steam alone.
Thats with a year of chipping away. It used to be worse lmao
Bruncvik@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I lost count of the number of games in my backlog, so a while ago I tried a similar spreadsheet. Mainly to stop me from replaying game I already finished multiple times and focusing on others instead. However, that felt too close to work instead of fun, so I gave up and went back to my favourite classics.
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
yeah i really feel that. according to steam i have 220 hours in resident evil 4 just replaying it over again or playing mods for it etc. having done my spreadsheet i’ve really felt a sense of completion when i complete games. i felt it heavier on games i spent more time on as apposed to games with like 15 hours.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’d recommend pushing through on Undertale. I have 19 hours played and I did all runs/endings. The first playthrough is probably under 6 hours total. One of the most memorable games I’ve ever played.
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah I plan on finishing undertale after I finish doom since I’m probably much closer to finishing that than I am undertale
wonderfulvoltaire@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Why not use backloggd?
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
i had never heard about this service till you mentioned it. it looks neat. i think i’ll continue using the spreadsheet method since i have it already. however once i finish the rest of these games i’ll take another look at it. you never know i might have picked up another bunch of games during a future steam sale
wonderfulvoltaire@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think it’s neat too I use the movies version more. Enjoy your games!
jesusrp98@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Thats a long list
QubaXR@lemmy.world 11 months ago
THAT’s a long list? I have more unplayed titles INSTALLED than this whole spreadsheet. I once attempted to create a system to organize my backlog but just gave up due to volume. I think I may have a game hoarding problem.
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
everyone’s circumstances are different. to them it might be a long list but to you it might be short. one thing is for certain tho is they take a lot of hours to complete. anyway if you want help starting i’d suggest picking a handful of games from your library like between 5 to 10 and just play through them one by one. putting my phone on the other side of the room helped since sometimes i would just pick it up and do nothing of any value on it. also having some self dicipline and not opening your browser helps as well. at the end of the day it’s up to you how you want to tackle it (if you even want to tackle it at all) it’s not even really a big problem to have.
bulwark@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Same, it’s not my fault Steam sales make me feel like I’d be losing money if I didn’t buy this game right now.
schmidtster@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Between epics free games and the games you get from ps/xbox for being subscribers its really not that large of a list.
Just between those 3 you would have a library of about 120 games. 1-2 a week for epic and 3 for each ps and Xbox.
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
yes. there are 35 items in the list but that excludes multigames like L4D 1/2 and LEGO batman 1/2/3 etc
eltrain123@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Based on the games in your list, you should check out Horizon: zero dawn and the sequel, Forbidden West. They’re great.
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
yeah a friend of mine let me borrow from his steam library a while ago and i tried zero dawn. at the time i fell into the trap of playing a game once and never again. i’ll add the game to the backlog of my backlog so i’ll get around to it after i complete the list here.
eltrain123@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It was on sale for 12 wing wangs last week. May still be on sale… check it if you want

Congrats on making it to the credits on Nier! What did you think of the game?
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It almost made me cry lol. Only 3 games have made me that emotional: omori, Zelda totk, and now nier. What an amazing experience it was tho.
explodIng_lIme@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Right there with you, the thing at the end really got me. I’ve been getting the itch to do another run, the combat was just so much fun imo
Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
For MGSV if you haven’t cheated yet I suggest it just for the money at least. Download a cheat table and run cheat engine. I don’t like the base building parts of games so I just blew through that by giving myself all the money.
That way I can just do the mission parts of the game without caring what is going on at mother base.
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
i’ll keep my save cheat free until i decide if the building is working for me or not. if not i’ll consider useing a cheat. when i played last i don’t remember getting to mother base. i think i got to the first objective and stopped playing iirc.
Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I only have a few hours a week to play so I like to make the most of my time by playing the fun parts. If a game is single player then cheating let’s me enjoy the little time I have to play it without grinding.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
i’ve 100% a few games but you’re on a totally different level. i really struggle with dark soul like games so it will be interesting to see how far i get before i eventually give up.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I find it’s more about patience than anything else. It’s very much an observe the pattern and adjust accordingly kind of gameplay. Also resource (stamina/health) management. I actually couldn’t finish any of them until I had gotten dragged into fighting games by friends that play competitively. Seeing that people could actually adjust their actions on the fly at such ridiculous speeds made me realize I was just button mashing all along. It’s also what made some of the more technical metroidvania games make sense to me.
My achievement showcase was just me going insane while having nothing better to do when I was off work with an injury though…
FourThirteen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What is Zelda 3?
bravesirrbn@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Should be the SNES one, “A Link to the Past”
Druid_@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes that is correct
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I was wondering about the “I’m done” and I love it. When you’re satisfied with the game and don’t feel like you need to play any more.
freebread@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Something I’m starting to realize too. Just because I start a game doesn’t mean I need to play it to the credits as soon as possible. I’m the only one fixated on my trophy list or hours played.
Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So, I actually do need to play to the credits ASAP for two reasons. First, coming back to a game is intimidating. So if I put a game down, I end up deliberating between restarting and trying to relearn the entire game from the last checkpoint. Usually I end up playing something else.
Second, I meander a lot. So even games I’m actively playing I try to stick to the plot so I don’t burn out playing side stuff. (It’s not always even side content. Sometimes it’s just dicking around.)
