This block of titles is your list of 2019 games (other than Tales of Vesperia, which you already mentioned)? Excellent! Please chime in and let everyone know how the challenge is going. Tons of really good games on that list. I'm certain you'll be able to make it.Here is my challenge to myself. Okami, FFX/FFXII and the Crash trilogy I've played through on other platforms but I'm itching for replays on these. All other games are ones I've never started or dropped partway through for various reasons. I don't expect to play through all of these this year, probably won't be able to do half but outside of Tales of Vesperia which I plan on getting eventually I don't expect to buy any other games this year. I tried to strike a balance of different genres, older vs newer games, long and short though I guess I'm a bit RPG heavy. Will probably use a RNG when I'm feeling a bit undecided. This goes against my earlier maxim in another thread in which I usually only have a small number of games at one time but here's to trying something new.
You could go for 10 backlog games for every 1 new game (Golduck award tier). DeleteriousObnoxious seem to be aiming toward that one.I really love this initiative, i will try....i will try to pass Resident Evil 2. But if for some magical reason, Ciberpunk 2077 and TLOU2 comes this year.........................
Im totally out.
I missed this thread initially but I'm with ya.
New games are expensive. I haven't played a lot of older games. I'm poor. Why not.
Great list so far. Is this your first time trying Planescape Torment? I hope you end up enjoying it.OK I'm In
I dont think that Ciberpunk and TLOU comes this year. So i wil start to play (and replay) some old games.
I have Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
Splinter Cell Blacklist
Persona 3
Horizon Zero Dawn
Planescape Torment
Torment: Tides of Numenera
Among other obviusly.
Go for the "Dabbing Fortnite Golduck" participation trophy, then.I just bought Resident Evil 2. I am already dead.
By all means, if you have to make a caveat, participate.
Gold participation medal is 10 backlog games for every 1 new game
Silver participation medal is 5 backlog games for every 1 new game
Or similar rules. You pick. Hey, I may have started the thread, but I don't set the rules. [vis_name][/vis_name] does.
Great list so far. Is this your first time trying Planescape Torment? I hope you end up enjoying it.
Wonderful!Yup, first time.
Ive know the "Planescape Universe" from the Dungeons and Dragons Campaings, have some books.
If it's new to you, then it's new. Shoot for the Golduck if you can't go 100% no-new-game tier.What's your thoughts on GamePass? I bought three years worth last year, so I won't be "buying" games like Crackdown 3 or Ori 2 but they're obviously still coming out in 2019. I'm sure loads of stuff will be getting added to the service this year too besides those.
Do those count as "new" games for my shame-tier, or not?

Well I still want to try and play through one at a time, potentially 2 but it's cool to have a bit of a roadmap of games I've been itching to play, some of these for years.I typically play one 1 game per system at a time, youre inspiring me that i should try something new and just play em all at once!
Yup! Unfortunately I'm taking 16 credits this semester with a tough lineup of classes and working part-time so I don't expect to make much progress for now but maybe during the summer or a much easier fall semester I'll be able to make some headway. Personally, my enjoyment of games and resistance to burning out skyrockets when I'm busy and not able to play all day so I'm happy forcing myself to be a bit more selective over how I spend my free time.This block of titles is your list of 2019 games (other than Tales of Vesperia, which you already mentioned)?

Purchasing games is fine. Sometimes you can't pass up a great deal or a limited-printing copy of a game.DDDPachi, I'm going to try to do this with you. I already bought a couple of games on deep discount from the PSN Holiday sale last week so I can't take back those purchases but I will be playing "new to me" games that I have in my backlog/library that I haven't touched yet. About the only game on my horizon right now is Cyberpunk2077 and that's most likely not coming out until 2020 or later anyway.
A few years ago I went an entire year not playing any video or computer games at all. I had some personal stuff going on in my life at the time and had to reassess some things. Completely purging myself of all video gaming for an entire year was the hardest thing I've had to do in my life. I guess that means I've got a pretty good life then! So not playing new games should be a piece of cake. I've got such a huge backlog it's not funny...
I have added a new reward tier, accordingly.My backlog only consist of ~15 games and some of those I have bought this year. How about a "finished all his backlog" tier? I need to reach that to have enough material for my "top 100 3d platformers" series .
Excellent, I will go for it. It would be the first time in many years that I reduce the backlog to zero (or one, I still want to have one game to play at the end of the year...) in a very long time. Since I am a grumpy old man, buying all new games I'm interested in boils down to merely five or six games, so I am positive I will finish those this year, as well .I have added a new reward tier, accordingly.

What do you mean? I don't play a ton of remasters. Generally, I thought most of the modern remasters were considered pretty solid.I didn't feel like making a new thread for this, but I have been replaying some remasters (Darksiders, Saints Row 4, and others) and the jank in the remastered editions break the game. I gave up early in Darksiders because I kept falling through the floor. Anyone else hate remaster jank?
One game at a time. Enjoy each one for what it is. Don't force yourself to finish it and if you want to drop it to play something else that's cool too.I'm so far behind that I'm not even sure what to do...
I'm so in this. Need a reason not to go on a spending spree for new games/
One of the things I did back in the day was set steam to load up into the library, not the storefront where there is always some kind of limited time sale.
Welcome aboard. Tell us of your gaming exploits and how you avoid the temptations of new games.

If any of the KH games were ported to Steam this year I'd be buying them too. Same with MGS 1, 2 or 3.I am at point of no return for both kingdom hearts main Line games
And next is Dream drop distance and Monster boy
I just realized. It's going to be SO difficult not to check out the Tuesday PSN sales and checking every Friday for flash sales. Ugh. I'm starting to jones already for that new game feeling. Must. Remain. Strong.
I did beat Dad of War tonight though so.... hooray for completing something on my backlog?
Purchasing Was allowed Apparently so you could purchase just not play Them
