---------------------------
I'm fairly certain I am not alone in the fact that my backlog would take me multiple lifetimes to complete at my current pace of being able to game 2 - 3 hours a night at most, with some rare binges here or there on the weekends. Family, work, etc, causes everything to pile up and I know for myself it causes me a bit of anxiety attempting to decide what games to play from my backlog. I am usually playing one current game and one game from my backlog at any given moment, maybe one more on my vita/3ds/switch. Regardless my backlog keeps growing and I'm finding the hardest part now is deciding which game from my backlog to play next because there are too many damn choices. I thought hey, why not let somebody else pick for me! So that is the motivation behind this. If somebody else chooses a game for you, you might break out of your comfort zone and end up discovering a game that you have simply put off time and time again is actually your game of the generation.
Post your backlog in a format similar to below. It can be as many games from your backlog as you like, but try to keep it limited to games you realistically could see yourself playing. The next poster will post your name with their pick (Example: cucuchu (name of game), followed by the format similar to that provided below) and then post their backlog. The next poster will do the same. In addition please post what platforms you own and what you are currently playing just so whomever is recommending a title can keep that in mind if they think it is relevant. Discussion between these posts is of course encouraged but please stick to the general format if you are participating so we can keep it as easy to follow as possible. After you finish a game, simply make a post stating that it is completed, make a suggestion to the last person that posted their backlog and is awaiting a pick, and then repost your backlog so the cycle continues!
I will keep track of completions and will update this post with names/completions as they come in. I'm thinking we could this on a yearly basis and it will be a nice way to have fun and maybe knock a dent in our ever-expanding backlogs.
Things to keep in mind:
-For multiplayer games such as MMO's and battle royal, or any game without a typical ending point, try to include a parameter by which your pick can be assessed as 'completed', if you choose to pick one of these games for somebody. Example of this would be with Elder Scrolls Online: Complete your primary faction's campaign and spend a week participating in Cyrodiil PvP.
-DLC will be considered part of the listing and its up to the individual if they want to include all the DLC/some of it in their own personal completion criteria. It does not need to annotated in your backlog listing UNLESS its the specific DLC that you have in your backlog and not the base game itself.
-As previously noted, please ONLY post games in your backlog that you will play if someone picks it for you!
Finally, I'm open to any ideas others may have for this and will keep this updated!
