Topic: Playstation 4 Backloggery and most wanted!

@themcnoisy Nintendo games rarely drop in price because... Nintendo.

@Ralizah I loved Child Of Light! A gorgeous, poetic fairytale.

@JJ-Firl Yeah, I've been meaning to get to it for a while. It's pretty and looks chill: exactly my sort of RPG.

Child of Light is a great little game! Helped to get my taste back for turn based combat.

(Only replied to first page comments but this is to everyone in the thread)

E3 is over and we all have a gazillion games we want. So now is a great time to post our original comment with an update on how we are getting on!

List of what I was playing at the the time of the original post:

1) God of War - PS4
2) Skyrim - Switch
3) Mario Land - 3DS

What I wanted to move on to:

1) Detroit Become Human
2) A Way Out
3) Dark Souls

I completed God of War and Mario Land 3D, but Skyrim is a still a WIP. For games I wanted to play, I have almost finished A Way Out (relying on me and a mate being free at the same time) but I didn't have enough dosh for Detroit or Dark Souls.

So actually, I have a massive backlog but not sure what to start next. With Hollow Knight releasing on Switch, probably going to move onto this. Might dig into some smaller games this week as well.

My original posted backlog:
>1. Bloodborne - I think I am literally one play session away from the end and have held off finishing because I considered doing chalice dungeons. But I think I’ll just finish and reload my save to be able to experience the other endings (thanks to @Jaz007 for the tip) and then move on. As much as I’ve loved my time in Yharnam, it’s time. I’m unfortunately out of town for a bit, so it will have to wait.
>2. Persona 5 - no progress in a month
>3. Gravity Rush 2 - no progress in a couple months.
Pathetic really. In my defense, I did finish off or work on a couple other games (Inside and Firewatch) and work on some Vita games (finished Danganronpa UDG, and playing Legends of Cold Steel atm) but the thread is PS4 so those don’t count.
As soon as Bloodborne is done, I think I’ll move Yakuza 0, Assassin’s Creed Origins, or Beyond Two Souls into that slot, I’m not sure which first. All of them have follow up games either available now or soon so I need to get them completed.

My original most anticipated list was as follows:
>1. Spider-Man
>2. Shadow of the Tomb Raider
>3. Red Dead Redemption 2
And despite all the new E3 information, I’ll keep that list the same. I would put Ghost of Tsushima as #1, but without a release date, I’m not inclined to count it yet. So I’ll actually stick with my original 3.

These were my original backlog and next purchases!

Backlog:

Yakuza Kiwami

World of Final Fantasy

Dragon Ball FighterZ

My next purchases:

Detroit Become Human

State of Decay 2

New Gundam Breaker

It didn't really work out that way! Haha!

I didn't finish any of the games I said I was going to! I'm going to try and finis--er, start those three! Man, I am bad at this!

I did finish Yakuza 0 and Yakuza 6. I finished God of War, Detroit Become Human, and Vampyr.

I bought State of Decay 2, but it was so glitchy it crashed and black screened my PC! I refunded it as soon that happened!

New Gundam Breaker has not come out yet. I'm working two jobs right now, so I haven't had a lot of time! xD

Okay, I have something like a guilty conscience, as I have bought numerous games over the past month but haven't play even a minute of any game...
So I regressed a lot!

Here's my backlog lost now:
Far Cry 5
Detroit Become Human
Ni No Kuni 2
Star Wars Battlefront 2
Doom
Prey
Injustice 2
Middle Earth Shadow of War
Watch Dogs 2
Homefront The Revolution

I was also on the verge of buying Diablo 3 UEE the other day but realized that I won't be playing it any time soon so I gave up. Maybe I'll buy it sometimes later. I primarily want to play it with my wife but this backlog isn't going to do itself.

As you can see, it's a considerable amount of work to do

Number 1 on the want list is Assassin's Creed Origins for a long time and I'm like dying to play it, but I'm still waiting for a good deal on it. Besides that I'd like Wolfenstein games and that's it. Further in the summer is Divinity Original Sin 2 and then in September usual suspects like Spider-Man and Tomb Raider. I'm not sure I'll finish all of the games I have right now before September...

"Backlog:
Shadow of the Colossus
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Wasteland 2

Next purchases:
God of War
Dark Souls Remastered
Hitman"

So that was my original comment. Shadow of the Colossus got well and truly platinummed and now I'm in the process of giving the same treatment to God of War, which is taking me a while due to work being fairly busy-ish at the moment. Black Flag and Wasteland might get bumped even further back though. I'm planning to grab Dark Souls very soon and now that Hitman 2 has been revealed, I might have to bring the first one forward. But now I'm also feeling the need to catch up on Assassin's Creed too! I'm beginning to feel the backlog burn.

Due to summer holiday coming up and an expensive festival weekend this month, I'm kind of tight on money. I also didn't game as much as I wantes to these last weeks, so I haven't made an awful lot of progress. But here it goes:

Current backlog:
1) Yakuza 0
2) GTA V [Finished, replacing this with Infamous: Second Son
3) Mad Max

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

My wishlist of games is very Western by the way, due to me having played mostly Japanese games so far this year: Yakuza 0, The Last Guardian, Bloodborne, Gravity Rush 2, Resident Evil.

Also, I really don't get the amount of love Infamous Second Son is getting... Can someone explain what I'm missing about that?

@Kidfried Can't help you there - I dropped Second Son about a third of the way in, it just wasn't clicking with me at all. I don't usually quit playing games once I've started. Lords of the Fallen and Mad Max were the only other two so far this gen, I think it helps that they were free...

@Kidfried it came out when Playstation 4 didn't have any games, at least not exclusives, and even third party was scarce, so fanboys hyped it way more than it deserves. It's a forgettable game. If it was a third party game it would be already forgotten. It's not a bad game, but it's very mediocre. Like a solid 7/10. No wonder they decided to make a new IP and forget this one.

New post-E3 update list thingy.

Backlog!
1. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
This was on my original list and I still intend to play it once I've finished God of War.
2. Wolfenstein: The New Order
I don't like playing too many big RPGs back-to-back, so this should break things up nicely.
3. Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix
This replaces Dragon Quest VII. I'll still play the latter this summer, but it's now much further back on my handheld backlog as I'm juggling quite a few 3DS and Vita games. I want to play the remaining Kingdom Hearts games in my backlog before 3 is released, so Birth by Sleep gets bumped up a bit.

Next purchases/Most anticipated
1. Dragon Quest XI
2. Kingdom Hearts 3
3. Spider-Man - I'll maybe ask for this for Christmas, but might relent and get it myself.

On reflection, now unsure I'll get Spyro right away as it will just end up in the backlog rather than being played immediately.

@Kidfried Fetch was a great character, the powers are amazing and in 4k with hdr the visuals are beautiful. Its also a relatively easy and enjoyable platinum. Play as the bad guy and the ending is awesome.

Happy gaming, y’all!

i'm currently playing Detroit : Become Human. i don't have any backlog.. though i have a legacy of unfinished games because i either didn't like it, or just got bored of it.. infamous second son, arkham knight, far cry 4, sniper elite 3, the witcher 3, watch dogs, skyrim.. i've got way more selective the last couple of years, so have managed to finish everything i bought (which is only 9 games to be fair), except assassin's creed origins.. which i don't see myself returning to.
