Can you clear your console backlog before the end of 2020?

[JMY86]

I suppose it is theoretically possible but there is no fucking way it will happen.

 

[Memento]

Lmao no

 

[Agni Kai]

My console backlog? Yeah, I surely can!

Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII
Gravity Rush 2
Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep
Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Collection

Most of those are very long games, but I sure as hell can finish them all next year.

 

[Bosh]

Its possible for sure (67 games), but I have serious doubts it will happen.

 

[Alpende]

I don't have a back log because I don't build one

 

[Thagirion]

Title.

This is my personal gaming challenge: to clear my console backlog before the theoretical end of the current generation. At about ~30-40 games (including many short indies), it should be doable.

Click to shrink...

Yep got only 5, and I'm in the middle of one

Edit: and 2019 I have about 10 on my radar.

 

[KINGOFSHIBUYA Ltd.]

Yes, I'm on target to. I still have a few SNES, Wii, GameCube, and Wii U games to finish that have been added to the backlog in the past 2 years, but my list/scheduling of what games I play has helped a ton!

So yeah, by 2021, it should be almost all new games.

 

[Aranjah]

My console backlog goes back to the GameCube, so probably not.

 

[Lokefm94]

Yep, that's pretty much impossible. I'm sure my kids are going to inherit my backlog.

 

[Mona-chan]

PS4? Of course, no way if you add PS3 and PS2 in the mix...

 

[RNGesus]

Maybe if I didn't have to work and could just game out 10 hours a day it might be doable.

 

[ronabs]

Definitely not.

 

[Deleted member 19996]

Clear as in finish? No way. 800+ on PS4, and about 500+ on Xbox, not even counting Steam. That's just a lost cause.

 

[Dremorak]

I couldnt even clear my DS backlog by then.

 

[Boddy]

Without PC, it's only like 30-40 games. I can handle that.

 

[GoldStarz]

Yeah because I did it this year.

 

[Kawngi]

If I didn't buy any games from now until then, sure. But that's of course not going to happen :p

 

[Aters]

If I try, I can, but why should I? Each year the number of interesting new releases is much lower than the number of games I beat. If I go through my backlog too quick, I'd be out of games to play one day.

 

[Ayra Sutoraifu]

PS4, no. Need to clear it before PS5.

 

[Nax]

Not a chance. Not with how busy life becomes after 25+ years of age. Maybe if I fell into millions of dollars next year.

 

[Strike]

I hope so. I have it spread across at least 6 or 7 consoles now. A lot of that could be taken care of through BC. I should at least be able to get my PS4 backlog done by then.

 

[maximumzero]

Fuck no, I've got at least 20 RPGs in there.

 

[Baloota]

Yeah, i just need to stay away from multiplayer games.

 

[ThreepQuest64]

Yes. If I quit my job, my studies, and friendships.

 

[Spyware]

Yeah I bet I could and it's pretty dumb of me not to prioritize it. The console backlog consists of about 75 games while the PC backlog is at 220 at the moment. Since I have managed to beat 156 games this year, I could probably beat the console backlog before even the start of 2020.

Would be nice to have no console backlog. Hm.

 

[MadeULook]

Hahahahaha.

No. Don't even want to look at the list that keeps growing.

 

[Andrew J]

Sure

If I win the lottery, quit my job, and stay home to play games all day.

J/k, even if that happened I wouldn't even get close.

 

[Doorakz]

Could I? Yes... will I? Probably not. Too many 70+ hour games to get through and that's not counting all the games coming out over the next two years.

I have a hard enough time completing all the games I buy on Black Friday alone. I usually only buy 5-8 games on BF. Adult life with kids sucks up a lot of free time.

 

[Bedameister]

No. But I'm making good progress and probably will be able to play most things I want to

 

[Deleted member 679]

I think it's technically possible, but it won't happen.

 

[Bear]

The end of 3020 maybe.

 

[Puggsly]

In a word, no.

 

[sir_crocodile]

lol

I have PSX games in my backlog I bought decades ago

 

[LifeLine]

I still have a PS2 backlog.

 

[archreaper93]

Hahahahahahahahaha.

Not even fucking close.

 

[DPT120]

Highly doubt it. Have a ton of PS4 games I need to work through. Couple that with lots of work in University, I'll probably only finish a few games, if I'm lucky.

 

[spookyghost]

I could clear my switch backlog, it's only about 20 games and some of them are indies, any other system though I have no chance.

 

[asmith906]

Depends on if I actually played my games

 

[scottbeowulf]

I could, and pretty easily. But I know I won't.

 

[bytesized]

Hahaha


Hahahahahaha

 

[Flevance]

Not a chance, even if I stopped trophy hunting and buying new games.. Even if I turned into a lifeless piece of shit above all that, I wouldn't be able to cleen it up before that point

But who cares, really.. When it come to PC games we can always just go back to them as long as we have PC

 

[RedAhmed]

No, I doubt I can clear my backlog in 10 years even.

I've bought more games than I've finished this year alone. And I've finished quite the number of games.

 

[OldManNoob]

The problem for me is I continue adding to my backlog. So thats a no for me.

 

[BlankCanvas23]

If you count both my Steam library and my PS4 library, I'd say I'd be done somewhere around the time the PS6 arrives. I've got more games than I ever will play. Curse you Steam and PSN Flash sales!

 

[CRIMSON-XIII]

Easily. All my backlog ever is... is replays.

The only new games I purchased the last few years that I was unable to finish were Ni No Kuni 2 and AC Odyssey out of all the games this year.

I will restart them sometime in 2019. Other than that. GoW, FFs, Spider Man, Horizon, RDR2, shooters, I always finish them near launch.

 

[GameAddict411]

No, but looking at next year it seems that there will be less games I will be interested in. This will probably help me catch up a little bit on some games.

 

[WieDerrickWie]

My backlog of games I want to actually play, its possible. Some of them though are 30+ hour games.
Problem I'm facing right now is I'm going to become a dad in July, so I kinda have to hurry and get these done ASAP if I want to finish by then.

 

[Maxim726x]

If I didn't purchase another game for the next 10 years I wouldn't be able to finish off my backlog.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I finished like 30 games from my backlog this year.

I'd need to keep this up for like 10 years to finish lol.

I do have a shorter "I really want to play these games no matter what" list which was like 20 games, so I might try to finish that.

 

[DarkTom]

I don't think I can before 2050.
