Topic: Playstation 4 Backloggery and most wanted!

@JJ-Firl Way to go. Awesome avatar btw. I was listening to Run from Hotline Miami 2 yesterday doing the ironing. Such a tune.

Backlog:

Nier Automata X - havent touched

Knack ﷼ - Ive finished part 2 and after part 3 Im done with the game. Its awful. My as well grab the trophy for the 3-5 boss.

Pes 2018 (master league trophies) ₪ - Done! I am 85% to the platinum with the hardest trophy out of the way.

Next purchases:

God of War - μ Bought
Dirt - μ Bought
TLOZ BOTW - X Negative

Update after one month!

Current backlog:
1) Yakuza 0
2) GTA V
3) Mad Max

I've platinumed Bloodborne, so I can take that one off of my list. Right now I'm completely into Yakuza 0, while still chipping away at Mad Max. Someday I'll finish GTA V as well.

This doesn't so impressive on paper now, but I feel like I've been working pretty hard on my backlog this month. Oh well!

My next purchases:
1) South Park - Fractured But Whole
2) Assassin's Creed Origins
3) Life is Strange: Before The Storm

I like this goal-oriented approach to the backlog, lol.

Backlog games to finish in the next 2-3 months:

• Star Wars Battlefront 2 campaign
• Mass Effect Andromeda (been trying to finish it since release on 3/2017)
• The Witcher 2 (had it since release in 2011...spending waaay too much time on it, but never finished it. I want to FINALLY play the Witcher 3 LOL)

Next purchases:

• Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
• Hitman (the new one...c'mon super sale)
• Sonic Mania (LOL)

@Kidfried 3 open world games in 1 go! That is my idea of hell. Good luck bro.

@smelly_jr Mass Effect Andromeda. I loathe that game, there is no way on Earth I could play that again. Really good luck finishing it off.

I will have finished God of War tonight, I've stopped playing PES as it was eating into too much gaming time, and I've got Dark Souls Remastered coming this week.

@JohnnyShoulder get back on the pes pitch i need your help on the clan trophy .

Pretty Please.

@themcnoisy Sorry bud I've traded the game in a couple of weeks back.

Backlog:
Ni No Kuni 2 - Completed, but gunning for platinum.
Monster Hunter World - Up to Nergigante. Would like to complete the story and 70% trophies.
Deus Ex - Picked up from PS+. Close to the end I think.

Next Purchases:
Vampyre - Depending on reviews
God of War - Seems to be many people's GOTY so far.
Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition - Feel like I missed out

@JohnnyShoulder fair one. I ended up teaming with a random just now and we won the first 3-0 no trophy and the second 3-1 and the trophy popped. The last team must have been fuming they went 1-0 up and we literally obliterated them from that goal in the first half until fulltime. I dont think they had another shot. 87% only 13% to go.

@themcnoisy Yakuza doesn't feel like an open world game to me, though. The world is quite small and I'm usually way too caught up in a minigame of some kind to have it feel like it.

Only moments I get this open world fatigue is when I meet five groups of enemies on my way to the cabaret club for instance.

Also, this is my backlog but not the only games I've played last month. For instance I had a lot of fun reaching level 30 in the Onrush Beta, I finished Three Fourths Home, enjoy an online race of Trackmania every other day and I still am trying to catch all fish in Stardew Valley.

@Kidfried Fair. I love Yakuza, Im so glad it is around. Amazing news about 3,4 and 5 I hope they come West. Maybe we should change the backloggery to 4 / 5 games........

PROGRESS

Backlog:
1) Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (COMPLETED!)
2) Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth (COMPLETED!)
3) Yakuza 0 (Two chapters in, but progress is well under way)

Next Purchases:
1) Gal*Gun 2 (PURCHASED)
2) Nier: Automata (PURCHASED; I bought it for under $30 in a recent PSN sale)

Next game I purchase has changed somewhat, though.

3) EITHER Hollow Knight OR Y's VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana (whichever releases first on Switch)

@themcnoisy Haha, I feel ya. I was disgusted by Mass Effect Andromeda at first (especially couldn't get over the planetfall sequence at the beginning with no one wearing seatbelts and lots of loose cargo mixed in with the passengers, LMAO) and put it away for several months after it initially launched. I've restarted it probably 20 times...it wasn't until Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the backlash that film got that I taught myself to not be so overly critical about "realism" and plot holes in Sci-Fi, and from that, I was able to FINALLY start enjoying ME:A, haha...

Also, shout out to the stiff controls and clunky 3rd person gameplay of Star Wars Battlefront 2 for helping me realize how good Mass Effect Andromeda's combat really is.

@themcnoisy I've hardly got any of the trophies for pes as i basically only play Master League and My Club, the former less so this season.
There will have to be a serious overhaul for me to get next seasons game, it was starting to do my head in towards the end.
Shame cos it plays a fantastic game of football just everything else stinks of fish.

@JohnnyShoulder Agreed. Master League is way worse than the PS2 versions. It is amazing when you beat that my club legend trophy though. Its one of the best trophies I have on PS4 for sure.

Update

1. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
2. Tales of Zestiria [COMPLETE]
3. Dragon Quest VII (8 was a typo I meant 7)

I'll probably get waylaid especially as all three are pretty long but we'll see.

1. Forgotton Anne [PURCHASED and currently playing]
2. Dragon Quest XI
3. Spyro Trilogy

One game down on the backlog, yay! Also making good progress with Forgotton Anne. Tales of Zestiria started getting a little bit of a chore by the end but I stuck with it. Probably the weakest Tales I've played.

@RogerRoger You played quite a lot this last month!

Wow, my progress has been abysmal. I’ve been too embarrassed to report. The best I can say for myself is that I am still sane (I think ... or am I?) and that I put a preorder on Shadow of TR and Spidey.
So ... I other words I’ve made more progress adding to my backlog than taking away from it. Actually I think we call that “regress” not progress.

@Th3solution you got 2 weeks before we all report back mate. Backlog regress has a ring to it, I like it. Someone on here mentioned saving on the spot - so I now use the term spot saves. I have a feeling backlog regress could join the gaming lexicon.

@themcnoisy Thanks! Hotline Miami is one of my favourite games on the Vita so far. The music really complements the gameplay. I have yet to play 2 but I listened to the soundtrack and it's great! Good luck finishing PES! I think after the soccer and silly platforming shenanigans you're ready for a more profound experience. Will it be Nier or God of War (or both).

@Kidfried Same here! I think it's great to keep track of the progress you make in the three main games you're playing in this thread but I also play some fighting games, enjoy a few puzzles in Hue with my girlfriend,...

My main gaming goal is still the Downwell platinum. Someday...
