How I Got Stuck Under A Video Game Backlog for the First Time

Cultured Vultures' Ryan: "I am now a gamer with a backlog. I will never be able to complain about having nothing to play for as long as I live, and as much as it makes me sweat about my finite time left on this earth, it also means I have the responsibility to figure out how to use that time."

first time? I've been struggling with a backlog ever since I got my PS4 in 2013. I'm almost embarassed at how many PS4/Switch games I have yet to play.

Same here, I have recently resolved to stop worrying about trophies, in fact I have turned off the notifications as I did quite like earning a Platinum Trophy for my most favourite games (I have 68 at present). I decided that I would rather see more games than grind out platinum trophies (which usually involves busy work rather than being an enjoyable experience).

I am hoping this will give me more time to knock games off the old backlog.

For this reason I never cared about trophies. Gaming is fun for me and shouldn't be a chore, which is wt most of those challenges require.

But I guess for some people the fun is in collecting them. For me I just want to see the story most of the time.

I prefer a huge backlog to no games at all to play tbh lol I've made peace with never catching up. I play wts fun for as long as it remains fun for me and move on and I'm completely happy doing that as long as I enjoyed it enough.

Do I leave games unfinished ? Yes, a crap ton lol
