Bayonetta - 27/01

Score:+5

Well that was a positive month. I'd love to get Bayonetta 2, W101 and ZombiU completed and finish off my WiiU collection but it might be to much for Feb. My aim had bee to only buy W101 to finish off my WiiU but I bought Seb Loeb Rally as a reward. I may not understand the point of this.

January went well. This stupid Ubisoft bundle just had to offer me two games I've been watching for a long time for a dollar, but that shouldn't be much of a problem in the long haul. Thankfully the third game in the bundle has already graced this list.

Bought in February: 3
* Call of Juarez: Gunslinger
* Rayman: Origins
* Titan Souls

Beat in February: 3
* The Last Remnant (2/14)
* Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (2/16)
* Sam & Max Save the World: Season 1 (2/21)

Yakuza 5 (PS3)- Amazing game. I dropped 40 hours into it and ended with only 23% complete. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to Yakuza 0.
Dragon Quest Heroes (PS4)- Loved the theme and all the DQ nostalgia packed in, but the "protect this thing" missions got so old by the end. Story got really cheeseball too, but I forgive everything because Yangus.

Welcome.

Just one thing: you have your scoring backwards (though it doesn't affect your total in this case). Acquired games are negative, beaten games are positive. It might seem backwards if you think of it as adding or subtracting games from your backlog, but I guess you can see it as gaining points for beating games, and you need to get the highest score possible. :)

Backloggery

End of 2015 Post (-15)

Current Score: (-2)

Games that don't count (rented or PS+ games finished or purchased games previously beaten):

Yo-Kai Watch (3DS) - Starting to think that I should just make a separate Backloggery account for my kids. But I do like seeing every title in one place. Anyway, this game looks interesting but I doubt I'll spend time with it. Bought my son the guide with this and he finished it in a couple of weeks. Between this and the TV show he's pretty into this property.

Bought in January 2016 (-3):

Rebel Galaxy (PS4)
Dark Cloud 2 (PS4)
The Witness (PS4)

Finished in January 2016 (1):

Just Cause 3 (PS4) - I really hope they continue to work on performance. I would take a downgrade in graphics if it ran smoother. Still though the game doesn't live up to JC 2 exactly, though messing around with the wingsuit is pretty great.

Currently Playing:

The Witness (PS4) - Currently around 230 puzzles finished. Not playing anything else until I'm satisfied with my completion level in this. I'm really happy this game is as enthralling as I'd hoped it would be.
Dark Cloud 2 (PS4) - Never finished this on PS2. Not sure if I care whether I finish it now either. I just like messing around and making gradual progression in the wide array of systems this game has.
Rebel Galaxy (PS4) - I really like this game's style so far but I'm hoping things change a bit once I'm out of the initial Hermes system.
The Witcher III: Wild Hunt (PS4) - Got back into this recently and actually finished the Dandelion thread and made my way into Skellige. Things are just getting better and better at this point. Can't wait to finish this so I can try out the DLC which is supposed to be incredible.
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (PS4) - Beat this last night so I'll mention it next month.

A solid month of progress against the backlog, hopefully this will continue into February though the 3 Fire Emblems will make that tough.

I managed to finish a lot of games in the past few weeks, at the same time I haven't bought any games on the Steam Lunar New Year Sale, a great start for the year!
Only games I bought and having played yet are Dragons Dogma and Rise of the Tomb Raider, but that's only because I don't have access to my gaming PC at the moment. I should have it with me in a couple of weeks from now, so hopefully I finish those two games in the next month.

Right. Gonna jump in here as I've been wanting to do this for a while, but there didn't seem to be much point as I bought games left right and centre. This year, I'm attempting to learn some self-control and restrict myself to ten games (that number may increase after E3, but no more than fifteen) spaced out through the year. Once I finish my set of gaming resolutions for the year, I can buy all the games I want (that being said, I indulged myself outside my list at the start of January as it was my birthday and I made one exception to the list at the end of January for a game not on the list - the physical release of Life is Strange).

Whilst that happens, I'm attempting to burn through my backlog. So here goes.

It's early yet, but I've bought just one game in February: the irresistible Gravity Rush Remastered.

I finally finished the charming Boxboy and I'm about halfway through Alien Isolation (incredible, terrifying). I'm also playing Steins;Gate, but I've run into the slow-moving first chapters.

I've always enjoyed lurking through these threads but this year I've started keeping track of everything I buy and play so it will be easy to participate as well. Here's where I stand so far:

January 2016

Bought +/-0
Nothing

Beat +2
The Last of Us Remastered (PS4)
Fire Emblem Awakening (3DS)

Score so far, 2016: +2

Current backlog: 65
(2015 score: 31 bought, 23 beat, 2 quit/sold = -6)

I'm doing my best to keep spending at a minimum while playing through some of the seemingly amazing games I have sitting in my backlog. I'm currently really close to beating Bayonetta 2 and after that I think I will return to my playthrough of Kid Icarus Uprising which should be about halway finished.

Well I haven't bought any games yet this year, and not buying any new games has sort of turned into an unofficial resolution for me. The Humble Ubisoft bundle is tempting but I think I'm going to avoid it (if it were all for Steam keys though, it might be a different story...) Of course, my current "unbeaten" count is at 442, which is absolutely nuts, though to be honest plenty of those games I got in bundles and am not necessarily planning on playing at all.

Anyways, so far:

Finally getting started for 2016 - It's been a slow burn this year. I've played a bunch of games, but had yet to finish any.

Finished Knights of Pen and Paper 2. I'm going to skip the long-form review on this one, because basically everything I said about the first game is still true. You can see that review here:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=170220608&postcount=363

The only real differences with this one are:

1) It's much shorter. I finished this game in 7 hours according to Steam's counter compared to 14 for the first game.
2) It's much easier. The first game had some issues with severe difficulty spikes. This one doesn't have that problem, but it solves it by getting rid of all the difficulty altogether. There were a couple encounters in the entire game that I had to actually think about my resources, but none that seriously tested my party.

It's still fun and is fairly charming, and I enjoyed playing it, but it was more a content tour than a game that requires anything of the player.

February 2016 Update (02/28/16): I might begin posting some transient critiques pertaining to my latest experiences on the chance I'm able to maintain an average of two-to-three titles per month. I'll have them formatted in a manner reminiscent to the voting thread so, consequently, impressions of new releases will be reserved for the respective thread whenever it finally comes to fruition. I've always wanted a place to toss my closing thoughts without creating new topics so the backlog blitz might serve as an excellent opportunity to discuss games which aren't immediately topical.

Just found this thread. January has seriously added to my backlog. Especially since I've been playing a few F2P mobile titles.

Here goes.

Bought
Xenoblade Chronicles
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Amplitude
Vanquish
Mario Kart 64- since this is a double dip I'm already counting it as complete.

Completed
Just Cause 2
Amplitude

Total -2


After a combined 120 hours into both Xenoblade games. I'm slightly burnt out and have been replaying some old favourites. Last year was pretty bad for my backlog. I think it ended up with a -10
 
I've set up a backloggery: http://www.backloggery.com/silkavfc. Feel free to add me, how do I add others so I can get some extra motivation?!

Beaten in 2016: 6 (1+5)
Score: -4

I ended up spending half the month playing Trails in the Sky FC but my progress has been fairly slow because the pace of the story itself has been fairly slow. There's not much coming out I'm interested in during March or early April though, so I'm in no rush. If I can get through FC, SC and maybe a couple of shorter games in that time, I'll be pretty happy.
