Imagine that you're no longer a broke kid who were forced to be quite selective on which games to get, as you're fortunate enough to afford on quite a lot of video games. At first, you'd think you wouldn't get many of them, because there aren't enough available and upcoming games that caught your interest. As time goes on, your backlog of video games grow bigger before you even know. Sales, Day One hype, along with more reasons pushed you buy the games despite not exactly being a part of your wishlist. You might believe that you would be able to at least beat every game you possess.
The thing is, some might be able to do so quickly enough, assuming they got a lot of time on hand. Others would end up stockpiling up more unbeaten games as time goes on, perhaps even not touching certain games even once for some reason.
If you were asking for my case, it would be the latter, as my Backloggery says so. And that includes some in Null status, presumably because these are either the last titles I would attempt conquering or aren't interesting enough to warrant
I have so many of them that I could even binge play whenever I get too much free time and had nothing better to do, which happens rarely. Heck, my retirement won't be much an issue if I keep pilling up even more games. A good portion of them that aren't beaten are actually shorter than 10 hours, such as most of the games released before the era of PlayStation. Others take a significantly longer while than that, most notably Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (possibly around 100 hours?), Monster Hunter 4 and Grand Theft Auto V.
I'm constantly thinking that I could get around to beat the games in time. Problem is, I seem to procrastinate way more often than I should, therefore hoarding up more games as time goes on, even though I enjoy gaming in general. I swear that a lot of the games I purchased are usually worth playing from start to finish and have garnered my interest. So, my Backloggery progress is going on pretty slowly, while I'm still addicted to Super Mario Maker, with 200 hours spent on it already and gained 3 medals (which allows me to upload up to 30 levels). Thankfully, I only bought much fewer games this year compared to 2013 and 2014, aside of being a PS Plus subscriber for my PS4.
Keep in mind I currently work during weekdays for 6 hours, take around 2-3 hours in total to take care of myself and usually sleep for 7-8 hours. That leaves me with 8 hours of free time to use, in which it seems practical for me to spend no more than 3 hours a day on gaming and using computer. And yes, I'm kinda addicted to using a computer for many hours, even though I don't really need to.
I'd like to have some advice on how should I conquer my daunting backlog of games without feeling too overwhelmed. Feel free to use my backloggery's search function and throw whatever game you'd suggest me to finish, finapete (a term coined by The Completionist that involves beating a game along with extras worth getting into) or even worth completing it. Feel free to suggest not beating certain games for whatever reason you have in mind. I'm also looking forward to cut my future video game purchases a bit more in the future to compensate my rather large library of games. Some motivational boost is appreciated as well.
And this also applies to anyone with a sizable library of games, too. You could discuss about your backlog, help others to motivate them to beat/finapete/complete their unfinished games.
