How large is your backlog? - Flash sales are a plague.

around 30-50 games.
Edit:Granblue Fantasy is just so addicting I can't stop. The grind suffering I endure is nothing compared to Disgaea which is the reason I can play so long doing Exp farming for hours a day.
 
Laughable. Went back to playing Legend of Dark Witch. Fun little MegaMan Clone.
 
I've put way too much time into Stardew Valley to be healthy--that was over the course of two years though.
I tend to pick up certain games I own and binge them for a few days before setting them down and not playing for a few months. Making art gets in the way.

i have no unplayed games (except for a free game i got with my rift, but that's all)
 
Large enough that I still haven't got around to playing Far Cry 3, Dark Souls, GTA V, or any of the Saints Row series. I don't keep track of all the indies I'm missing anymore, it's too despressing.

Across all platforms the backlog is massive, but right now I'm settling for trying to clean up my PS3/PS4 trophy lists. I get spergy about trophies and achievements. There's some dumb shit mixed into my queue that I know I'll never finish, but there's also a bunch of stuff I like that was left half done and worth going back to before I install anything brand new. About 10-12 games to clean up, probably?
 
God... My PSN account has over 500 or so items bought digitally or scored off PS+
...and that's just PS4 games. I just bought a Switch a couple months ago and already have 28 or so games on that.

I have a weird game ADD. I buy a new game or two every paycheck. It's really kind of a problem. I thoroughly enjoy a game for the first few days after I buy it but then the next paycheck hits and I'm browsing the stores and the "ooooh shiny" mentality kicks in and its on to play a new game.

My mainstays, games I play consistently, are Tekken, WWE games, Mortal Kombat, Destiny, and various rhythm titles. Everything else, if it aint beat in a week or two, just go in the backlog.

I used to have a Steam account with about 250 unplayed games, but I had to abandon it because some legitimately crazy sperg doxed me and was threatening to show up at my house with a knife. It would've been more had I not spent as much as I did on trading cards.

Why don't you just make all your shit private on that account?

I've just had a wake up call about my backlog. I've always compulsively bought cheap games on sale or in bundles if they had good reviews and I lost track over the years. My backlog is more than 1000 games. I just worked it out and if I played and completed one game a day (which is ludicrous in itself) it would take me more than five years to get through them all. I'm knocking it on the head right now and I won't buy any more games unless they're unanimously hailed as modern classics.

Way too fucking much.

Part of the problem is that I'm prone to replaying games I especially love, sometimes several times a year, all the while I expand my backlog when something goes on sale for dirt cheap. So my backlog grows larger while I dick around playing games I've already played. Sometimes I'll get a new game that I love that I'll get around to beating, but then that turns into another game I'll play over and over while neglecting my ever-growing backlog.

Really, my backlog exists purely to remind me occasionally that I have other games that I haven't touched.

I've spent the last 4 months starting up Yakuza 0, going to the pocket car racing minigame, losing on the hardest course, autistically making combinations for pocket cars in order to win, and rage-quitting out of frustration. Then I go back to playing some shitty online game while complaining that I never finish any games.

That’s a bit like how I find the drug dealing minigame in GTA Chinatown Wars to be more fun than the missions. Every so often I’ll start a new game with the intent of finishing the main story missions, get sidetracked by the drug dealing and just play the game like a drug dealer simulator until I’m a bajillionaire, then complain that I’ve never finished the game and the cycle repeats.

8 games on GOG 145 on steam, the 2 no one lives forever games, Space Station 13, and a small number of roms. And thats just my pc
 
At this point, it has to be well over 200 games. I keep buying anything that looks somewhat interesting and then never playing any of them.

I actually pulled together a spreadsheet of games when I realised my buying was getting out of hand a few years back. Have about 140 in my backlog not counting Epic freebies and roms/isos for emulators. Was about double that but I sold off a lot of retro games I had after a house move and realising I was never going to play most of them. What I have left are mostly steam/gog digital games I got over the years.

I very rarely buy games now because I know I have a shit load in my library that I have not even touched. I gradually chip away at the backlog though keep getting distracted with emulators.
 
I can think of no more than 11, maybe 14 actually interesting or decent games. I often think people with those 200+ unplayed games backlog just have shit taste or no taste at all in games.
