The internethiker guide to the matrix says if someone finishes their backlog they may recieve 3 wishes, all those need to be game related or else will be void.
Emptiness. I got a bug up my ass about finishing my backlog and I burned through about ~800 games from 2020-2022 since I had literally nothing else to do and could barely even leave my house (more due to depression after a string of deaths in my immediate family leaving me completely alone thousands of miles away from the nearest person I actually spoke to, covid was just a lucky break for financing),
I played games about 20 hours a day, slept for 3, would wake up, make food (usually just a digiorno pizza I'd eat through the day) and then repeat. I cleared out every game up to and including gen 6 that I had ever wanted to play. I then played an additional 50-60 gen 7 games (stuff like asuras wrath, FF13 series, demon souls, smaller ps3 stuff like tokyo jungle, 360 games like lost odyssey, infinite undiscovery, blue dragon) and I had generally been keeping up with gen 8 as the rate of release for most games I was personally interested in was quite slow, so I'd get a game and complete it in a sitting or two if applicable.
Anyway, come the first of this year I had finished everything I had ever wanted to finish but hadn't. I look for new games now but the three months I was looking for a job were fricking soul crushing, nothing even remotely jumped out at me because I had spent SO fricking long looking for games to build that backlog. There is nothing anymore that I want to play that I haven't already. Nothing. Not out of the tens of thousands of games I searched through, not hacks, not translations, NOTHING left. It's wild to go into a thread and see dozens of recs and have played every single one of them to 100%.
It fricking sucks.
Don't get caught up on completing it, just enjoy going at your own pace, and don't lament not getting to it sooner either, because if you treat it like a job, when you're done it's gonna fricking feel like you have nothing left.
While very impressive, you forgot the ultimate reason the backlog exists to begin with. It's not about finishing games, it's about playing them. I wouldn't worry though, in time you'll see more games you want to play, maybe some will even be the ones you've already finished, as I'm sure you left plenty to do in these games. Instead of thinking of just the names of them, think about the time playing them, that might help.
>you forgot the ultimate reason the backlog exists to begin with. It's not about finishing games, it's about playing them.
You're the person who installs Half-Life 2, completes the first chapter, and then claims you "played it" before proceeding to lecture others of your opinion of the game on here.
Not at all, and I don't know why you would ever see that from the post unless you had a specific run-in with such a person, especially because I suggested he might replay some of those games. I disagree heavily with that sort of person you describe by the way, and would even say that someone who rushes to the end of a game to see the credits also misses a significant part of how it works and in many cases doesn't fully understand it. The same could also be suggested of achievement hunting. The simple point that decries both, was to enjoy and embrace the act of playing the games themselves over seeing them as checkmarks to clear.
if this is legit, then unironically go outside man. do anything else. join a local art class or something, i can't imagine treating playing videogames like you're trying to crunch as hard as possible before the deadline at work or uni, where's the fun in that?
>ancient ass versions of MC
I'd rather just play the beta versions. Thank frick mojang lets you install any version you want all the way back to indev iirc
Freedom
I have no fricking patience for the 'it gets better after 10 hours' mentality. If a game doesn't hold my interest in the first 3, max 4, hours, I'm uninstalling it
I was able to finish my backlog without subjecting myself to garbage and only played the good ones

It's not that big. Helps I give zero fricking shits about what's new unless someone shoves it at me. Just keep up with Persona until they're gay. And if I get through all that, I guess try another console if I want, who knows.
Which are the good ones?
Also most of the ones here aren't bought, I either got them for free from Steam/Humble Bundle giveaways or from bundles I bought for another game

If they all see Demons and Ghouls, maybe they're all real. I mean - if everyone see's the same shit, then is it really crazy? If I see a plane fly over a field, then a bunch of others see it, the plane is obviously real.
Maybe Schizos are seeing past the veil of demons invading.
Maybe they tap into a different plane they cant understand due to all the noise, they might not even be evil entities, just stuff that happens and we can't yet understand
Play more infinite games like 4X games and watch a lot more movies and youtube, I suppose
It's never gonna happen, however. If I finish one game a week, my backlog will easily last me 10 years. And that's completely unrealistic based on how long games are and how much playtime I get. Plus, in those 10 years I will easily have bought 100 new games
The backlog/library is infinite. You will literally die of old age before you run out of things to play
I'm very selective so there's "only" 170 games long.
What happens? I'll probably start replaying some, doing autistic post-post-game shit where I couldn't be bothered before, dedicate more time to rhythm games and whatnot, maybe finally try to git gud at DMC or something (probably not).
But ultimately I'm wondering if the spare time will finally give me some motivation to acquire means of earning money, because I know I won't get to kill myself for a while. So I'm determined to finish it now.
I did, for a test run, and it sucked massive balls. Gonna stay a NEET for a while still, thanks. Because otherwise I definitely won't finish any backlogs and remain miserable in every way indefinitely.
There are only handful of games I still want to play but you can't rush your backlog otherwise you might end up hating a potentially good game just because you are burned out and at that point even a 10/10 game can easily sour into a 1/10 experience.
The issue from where it stems is simply that there's a lot of games to enjoy and only so much time to put in at once. It can be easy to fall into a rut of considering time as wasted for one reason or another because "I have a bunch of other games I want to play", while forgetting that it's very possible to just feel the same way if you're playing something else, it's not like the situation has changed. People keep forcing time into the equation and the need to play certain new games to stay constant that way, when it should be more to do with understanding what game you feel like playing and knowing you have a particular set of games to play through in a rough order. At the end of the day, a bunch of new games left to play is a good thing because you get to play through them.
I'm slowly getting through my two decade long backlog, and at least 50% of it has been miserable.
A few random examples:
I am Alive - frick this game
Medal of Honor Airborne - frick this game
Wanted - frick this game
Syndicate - frick this game
Very few games older than about 2009 are worth experiencing, and if you didn't get round to finishing them at the time, there's probably a good reason why
I'd emphatically disagree but I don't know your tastes, your approach or the contents of your backlog to know what you're going through. You suggested a few shooty games so I would say try Timesplitters 2 or Future Perfect and see how you feel about pre-2009 games.

How has your opinion on gaming as a medium changed after completing all those games?

why?
Most are shovelware garbage
the frick? a lot of these are really good games. why would you purchase shit that you have no interest in actually playing, consoomer?
Which are the good ones?
Also most of the ones here aren't bought, I either got them for free from Steam/Humble Bundle giveaways or from bundles I bought for another game
be more subtle next time.
Huh? Subtle about what?

Schizo's see demons and ghouls, not fricking imaginary girlfriends
There's a reason they all scream, piss and shit themselves
>not getting a sexy demon G(houl)F
It's all a matter of perspective.
If they all see Demons and Ghouls, maybe they're all real. I mean - if everyone see's the same shit, then is it really crazy? If I see a plane fly over a field, then a bunch of others see it, the plane is obviously real.
Maybe Schizos are seeing past the veil of demons invading.

I was hoping the "meds" were knockout pills, and she was about to rape him.
Nothing which is why I don't bother treating it like a checklist.
I will almost certainly never play all the games I have bought and that's okay.
Got only three games left on my backlog. Might be able to finish them before BG3
You waste time on social media waiting for new games.
I'm very selective so there's "only" 170 games long.
