See, now when I do play it, I’ll have the whole series just waiting for me. Smart, huh?
“Why is this game so outdated? Oh, right, I got it in a Humble Bundle 17 years ago.”
This is why I stopped buying games. I still have a massive backlog (like everyone else) but it’s a list, not a Steam library.
Don’t get sucked in by Steam sales. You’re not saving money by buying games you’re never going to play!
I did this with borderlands 3 way back when. Got it at half price but didn’t get round to it until a good year and half later. By then it was even cheaper than when I bought it.
Slowly realising the games will still be there, sale or not. Got to learn not to buy more until my weekly routine needs an addition that isn’t already in the backlog.
My low point was buying that Harry Potter game on release. Still haven’t started it, don’t even remember the name, I’m nearly 50 and really hate HP.
Hogwarts Legacy? It has great graphics, a really cool set, and fun gameplay, unfortunately the characters are morally deranged and the plot is not that great. And buying it gives money to a woman of questionable beliefs, I guess.
I pirated it and didn’t complete it. The gameplay quickly devolved into the same three spells (even if they were called different things) and really boring open world mechanics. Those first few hours were fantastic, captured the wonder of hogwarts, then it got boring and bad real fast.
Welcome to any school I guess xD
Yep that one. Bought it just to keep lightweight rpgs coming after Midnight Suns. I guess then bg3 happened. Thanks for the info. Should probably at least try it out someday since jk already got a hold of my pennies.
Anybody else read “massive backlog” wrong?
Yep, British Broadcasting Corporation
What? I don’t get it. What does the BBC have to do with Steam?
I don’t know if it was meant as a joke or pure innocence, but just in case :
BBC in the adult entertainment refers to a big black 🐓, hence the original joke on the “massive backlog” (log meaning penis I guess)
It’s your digital “pile of shame”.
I wonder what the story is of the original photo
I’ve pumped at least a few hours into at least 90% of the games I own, gave each entry a fair shake, and either moved on or come back to it now and again. Its the rare exception that the game is so up my alley I can pour endless hours into it without the experience getting boring.
I don’t care about achievements or even completing it. I play games mainly to try out a new experience and get the brain working in different ways. Some of my favorite games I can pump many hours into and have completed, rougelikes especially are infinitely replayable. But others are once and done experiences I got my fill of over the course of a couple of hours and have no desire to come back to. Theres no shame in being the later.
