Let's talk about things you want to do in gaming, but just don't do for whatever reason.

But someday you WILL do it.

I swear that someday I will finish Majora's Mask. It's in my backlog since it came out for the N64. Bought it again for the 3DS and stopped at the exact same point: just before the first dungeon.

Why? No clue, because I love the game.

What about you?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Half Life 3, I'll be wearing diapers by the time they announce it.

 

[CountAntonius]

Platinum ranked in Rocket League(Top 100 in the world).

 

[Nuzzgok]

I have a lot of my list, most of them are games I wanted as a kid but couldn't afford.

My main one is just finishing Persona 3. I can never get around to it, I'm still at the start!

 

[Elitist1945]

Get through my 50+ game backlog. Ugh.

 

[Ouren]

Final Fantasys
all numbered, mainline stories

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I will play the whole Yakuza series someday....

 

[RetrospectiveLamb]

One day I will finish Persona 4 Golden

 

[Dunkley]

Beat the original Super Mario Bros.

lol I never finished that one either... Maybe I should add that to the list.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Play all of my Steam games

 

[drtomoe123]

I promised myself that I'll buy a DDR Extreme cab one day when I have the space.

 

[momshotdad]

Finish Ocarina of Time. I'm at the spirit temple on the 3DS but I just can't seem to finish it.

 

[spineduke]

Play all of my Steam games

this - it torments me how much money i spend only to have them sit in my library and collect virtual dust

 

[purdobol]

Finishing Commandos Behind Enemy Lines/Beyond Call of Duty and then completing Desperados Wanted Dead or Alive is very high on my to do list.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Buy a PS2 and play Silent Hill 2&3

Spoiler

and the RE: Outbreak games

. I owned the system, but there wasn't a lot I cared for at the time and the system I had ended up getting issues rather early on.

Also, visit a game studio. Epic Games is nearby, though admittedly I don't care for them as much now as back when they were heavy into making Unreal Tournament titles and Gears of War.

Play all of my Steam games

And PS+, GWG, free Origin titles...pretty much anything on my backlog. Yep, no backlog sounds good. Never going to happen though.

 

[Iriscomeback]

Finish Ocarina of Time. I'm at the spirit temple on the 3DS but I just can't seem to finish it.

Do it!

My absolute favorite.

 

[Phat Michael]

Take a year off and reconnect all my retro consoles and play every game in my collection.

 

[bruno_spec]

My backlog is HUGE, but all i want is to finish all the Final Fantasy main/numbered games one day

 

[autoduelist]

And PS+, GWG, free Origin titles...pretty much anything on my backlog. Yep, no backlog sounds good. Never going to happen though.

Just organizing my digital backlog would feel good, but I don't even have time for that.


As for what I'd love to do? Probably (re)play through a lot of the older crpgs (go through the ultimas, might & magics, wizardry's, etc). Preferably with graph paper where mapping is required.

But I'll never have time for that, so the best I can accomplish is acquiring all the ones I want to (re)play and occasionally see them in my DL lists and think to myself 'oh, i really want to get to those'.

 

[xxracerxx]

Snatcher.

 

[Breads]

Play all of my Steam games

Woah... that's intense.

Steam sales and Humble Bundles has made my backlog pretty scary. I'd have to say this.

 

[Strike]

Finish Okami
Finish Shinobi (PS2)
Finish Killer 7

 

[ElTorro]

Get all trophies/achievements in a game.

 

[Zach]

I will play and beat Mario 64, a Metroid game, and a Zelda game.

One day...

Edit: And Chrono Cross and Killer7.

 

[Iriscomeback]

Finish Okami
Finish Shinobi (PS2)
Finish Killer 7

You should do this one first

 

[Dangansona]

Finishing all the PS3 games I have built up. Punishment for switching sides mid-gen.

 

[entremet]

Think Bigger!

I'll expand it to gaming culture in general for me. Just beating games isn't what I think of Bucket List material.

-Go to PAX Prime
-Go to EVO
-Meet Miyamoto before he retires (and get him sign a copy of SMB3, my favorite game)
-Meet Lord British
-Get a consumer level VR setup
-1CC Donkey Kong at a barcade with 3 IPAs in me.
-Find Panzer Dragoon Saga in the wild for cheap (LOL)
-Get a Astrocity Cab
-Master a real life pinball table

 

[punkmaggit]

I will play and beat Mario 64, a Metroid game, and a Zelda game.

One day...

Edit: And Chrono Cross and Killer7.

Start with Super Metroid, and A Link to the Past.

 

[Ikon]

My most highly prioritized one is to plat all the souls games.

Spoiler

Is it possible to trade for those damned upgrade materials in Demons?

Other than that though... Beat Mega Man games again without save states. I could do it as a kid but I suck at them now.

Also, buy a couple of arcade cabs once I have the space. Mainly after SF3 and DJ Max.

 

[LifEndz]

Attend an E3 in which a console is officially announced.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

play the zelda cd-i games

 

[Maniel]

All final fantasies and dragon quests. I'm making good progress on the final fantasy front.

 

[Zach]

Start with Super Metroid, and A Link to the Past.

Super Metroid is a go. As for Zelda, I think my son wants to play Wind Waker, so we'll probably go that route.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Getting my hands of the Steel Battalion controller for the Xbox and playing it. As a mech fan, it looks like the best thing ever.

 

[Dangansona]

You're right! I need to think bigger.
- Get a job in the industry, either as a programmer or critic.
- Buy and play a lot of n64, ps1, ps2 and GameCube games.
- Hang out with Troy Baker.
- Go to a gaming convention.
- Get a character modeled after me

 

[manzoman96]

More ps1 rpgs like Grandia, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, etc.

Also the legend of zelda and metroid games.

There are countless others that I can't think of at the moment.

 

[Chastten]

Instead of saying I'd like to finish some older games I didn't manage to back in the day (Jet Force Gemini comes to mind) I'm going for an alternate answer and say: go back to having only one console and one handheld like yesteryear and just have fun with it. Makes life a lot easier.

What about you?

I was in the same boat as you for more than a decade. I tried playing Majora's Mask 6 times (5 on N64, 1 on 3DS) and always stopped after the 3rd night of the festival when you get the ocarina. Not out of boredom or hate, I actually extremely enjoyed it, but other things always seemed to take priority. I made sure to sit down this year and finally finish it over the summer. It was magnificent.

Cool!

I will do it this year. My backlog is almost gone now (wow...) and then it's time for MM!

 

[Breakage]

Complete:
MGS2 on European Extreme.
Ninja Gaiden Black and II on Master Ninja.

Start Dark Souls and Demon's Souls.

 

[Jonneh3003]

I have around 1200 games and I haven't played at least 350 of them, I've stopped buying games with the exception of new Nintendo games so playing all of these games is my on going challenge.

 

[shaowebb]

Play and beat Culdcept 3DS. They announced at the LAUNCH of the 3DS 4 years ago that it would be localized into english for europe and it is still Japan only. Culdcept Central has the cards translated and if I got to buy a japanese 3ds, a japanese copy, and play it with my tablet on Culdcept Central's card wiki the entire time then I fucking will. I bought 3 consoles over this series and I won't miss a title.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

I need to finish Metro Last Light. I bought Redux and really enjoyed Metro 2033, but loads of other games came along and I haven't even started it.

 

[Anon67]

Right now, I really want to finish the Mass Effect trilogy. Though I do intend to complete at least my AAA games backlog.

 

[Labombadog]

Go to a big gaming event like E3, PAX, etc

Visit Japan and go to a famous arcade spot.

Meet Miyamoto, take a pic with him and get my Zelda OOT N64 copy signed.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Panzer Dragoon Saga and Burning Rangers.

I have the Saturn. Just need the games. Someday.

 

[vocab]

To beat most of the must play pc rpgs. That's all I got for now.

 

[elcuervo75]

I would love to get through my backlog of games before moving onto Xbox One. I sold my Steam an Origin accounts at a pretty big loss because I knew I would never get around to all the games on there. And since I don't like PC gaming anymore I felt it was a good thing to do. But I still need to get through about 15 Xbox 360 games.

 

[Spukc]

beat all snes rpgs .

that is my ultimate goal
