“i’m done” just means that i really cannot play the game anymore to the point where i’d actually go insane if i continue.

    I was wondering about the “I’m done” and I love it. When you’re satisfied with the game and don’t feel like you need to play any more.

      Something I’m starting to realize too. Just because I start a game doesn’t mean I need to play it to the credits as soon as possible. I’m the only one fixated on my trophy list or hours played.

        So, I actually do need to play to the credits ASAP for two reasons. First, coming back to a game is intimidating. So if I put a game down, I end up deliberating between restarting and trying to relearn the entire game from the last checkpoint. Usually I end up playing something else.

        Second, I meander a lot. So even games I’m actively playing I try to stick to the plot so I don’t burn out playing side stuff. (It’s not always even side content. Sometimes it’s just dicking around.)

          Feel that- source: I’m a Like A Dragon fan.

          But another reason I tend to binge each game is lack of storage space and rising file sizes. Don’t want to download 100 GB again so better finish it immediately.

      i had never heard about this service till you mentioned it. it looks neat. i think i’ll continue using the spreadsheet method since i have it already. however once i finish the rest of these games i’ll take another look at it. you never know i might have picked up another bunch of games during a future steam sale

    I’d recommend pushing through on Undertale. I have 19 hours played and I did all runs/endings. The first playthrough is probably under 6 hours total. One of the most memorable games I’ve ever played.

      Yeah I plan on finishing undertale after I finish doom since I’m probably much closer to finishing that than I am undertale

      THAT’s a long list? I have more unplayed titles INSTALLED than this whole spreadsheet. I once attempted to create a system to organize my backlog but just gave up due to volume. I think I may have a game hoarding problem.

        everyone’s circumstances are different. to them it might be a long list but to you it might be short. one thing is for certain tho is they take a lot of hours to complete. anyway if you want help starting i’d suggest picking a handful of games from your library like between 5 to 10 and just play through them one by one. putting my phone on the other side of the room helped since sometimes i would just pick it up and do nothing of any value on it. also having some self dicipline and not opening your browser helps as well. at the end of the day it’s up to you how you want to tackle it (if you even want to tackle it at all) it’s not even really a big problem to have.

          Wow. The putting the phone far away spoke to me.

          Between work stress and family, sometimes it feels much easier to just pick up the phone and start browsing Lemmy (or LinkedIn lol)

          I’ll have to try putting the phone away more deliberately.

          Happy gaming!

        Same, it’s not my fault Steam sales make me feel like I’d be losing money if I didn’t buy this game right now.

      Between epics free games and the games you get from ps/xbox for being subscribers its really not that large of a list.

      Just between those 3 you would have a library of about 120 games. 1-2 a week for epic and 3 a month for each ps and Xbox.

    Based on the games in your list, you should check out Horizon: zero dawn and the sequel, Forbidden West. They’re great.

        Right there with you, the thing at the end really got me. I’ve been getting the itch to do another run, the combat was just so much fun imo

          Yeah I agree. I’ll probably revisit it in a year or two so its fresh. I had my save data deleted after I finished the game because I really wanted to see if they were bluffing at the end (they were not) lmao.
