Le update
Since the last post not much has happened. I’ve actually just bought more games since then. I’ve bought the Fallout Classics collection, The Stanley Parable and Torchlight. I’ve also bought a few random bundles from GMG and got like 7 more games or so!
So yeah, not much finishing, and lots more adding to the backlog!
Now for the games I’ve beat… (kind of)
The Stanley Parable
-
The Stanley Parable
3 hours playtime
6 of 10 achievements
A game I’ve played before but never owned. Bought it first day of the sale. It’s as great as I remember. I’ve played through many many endings already. Finished it several times. Marked it as beat.
As for the game itself, I would recommend it to most people. It’s a narrative based game where you keep having to make choices. Every choice has an impact on the story. You do need to play this game for the story though, there is nothing else in the game really. The game is great for a good laugh!
Rocket League
-
Rocket League
136 hours playtime
45 of 70 achievements
A game that was gifted to me by a friend a long time so we could play it together. I’ve played the game for over 130 hours by now. I managed to earn all the “base game” achievements. Since I don’t own any of the dlc and am not planning on getting it, I’ve decided to finally mark the game as beat. Ofcourse, I will still be playing this game more. It’s a great game when I’m bored and just want to play something.
As for the game, again, it’s a game I would recommend to most people. It can be a lot of fun, but you do need to be able to get those first 25 hours in while being completely shit. I’ve met a lot of people who never play the game because they’re “bad at it”. Everyone is bad at it in the beginning! Play the game! Learn the game! Become the game! Uhh.. Wait, what? I mean… Just play it, get better and eventually you’ll start to enjoy it! It’s great fun with friends! And can be fun to play alone sometimes too!
Le outro
Now, apart from buying and beating Stanley Parable and noticing that I’ve actually “beat” Rocket League, there’s not much that has changed since the last update. I mean… I’ve tried getting into Darksiders and Cook, Serve, Delicious. I quite liked Darksiders, but it’s one of those games I do like, but after closing it once, I never feel like getting back to it. As for Cook, Serve, Delicious. I played for about 6 days and I suppose it was fun, but I can’t imagine having to beat the game. It’s already starting to become a bit of a drag, let alone having to do another 14 days just to get to a 1 star restaurant! And then another 80 days to get to 5 star!
I’ve also started playing Freebie, since I thought it would be easy to 100% it. I was wrong. I managed to get 3 out of 5 achievements in about an hours playtime. Might get back to it to try and 100% it, but it’s quite frustrating to try and get it to 100%. It’s entirely skill-based.
As for the list of suggested games that I was working on, I might get back to it later, but for now I just don’t feel like playing those. I’m in one of those moods the last few days (2 weeks actually) where I want to play games, but I just don’t really feel like anything.
Anyways, thanks for reading and have a good one!
And ofcourse, if you have any co-op games or multiplayer games and you’re in need of a partner, I’m always up for it!
Hmm, maybe I should make my posts shorter. There’s a lot of text there for not a lot of information :3
Backlogs want to grow, we can’t go against that fact. We can only delay it and live another day with all the sales going on. ;D Your “game blues” are something I definitely see myself falling in come December so I’ll have to put in some additional effort in the first half of the month.
You’re worrying for no reason as far as I’m concerned - your posts are perfectly fine because I enjoy a good read. Formatting is key and you do that well so they never become a chore to go through. People are content writing down couple of lines simply because they’re not necessarily here to write reviews and whatnot, just jotting their thoughts down. Nothing wrong with either approach.
PS.
I hope you give the Fallout Collection a try. Originals are great and Tactics got way too much flak back in the day because it wasn’t a proper sequel.
I’ve had the same thing going on this month, it’s not a nice feeling. But I still think that I’m not at the point yet that I’ve burnt out and that I should take a break. But I also want to avoid the situation where I’m playing and beating games just for the sake of beating games.
And that amount of text is not too much at all :) The paragraphs have good length, makes it easy to read.
I occsaionally have this kind of mood. It ususally goes over in a while. I don’t burn out usually :3
Hope it’s the same for you! Just beating games to beat games isn’t fun, you have to have fun doing it!
Good to hear it’s not too bad (amount of text) :)
It’s just that I see some other people’s posts and they’re only like 4 lines or something :3
Yeah same here, the feeling goes away after a while. :) Maybe I’m overthinking it, it all probably just depends on the overall mood instead of getting burnt out of this backlog project.
