Just stop lying to yourself now and accept that you're gonna keep building that backlog. You know you're gonna keep buying more games this year, we know you're gonna keep buying new games this year.

Nope. I'm gonna have willpower (and not buy any more RPGs).

I know the feeling. I've managed to get through a bunch of games on the PS4 since i got it before Xmas but have the following yet to play/finish (thanks sale):

I've beat Bloodborne twice (just NG and a bunch of chalices on two characters) and Uncharted 1 and 2. I'm right now beating Doom (beat it twice on PC already), Dark Souls 2 SOTFS, God of War 3 remaster, Destiny and playing some matches of PES 2017. I stopped playing on my PC completely. I'm looking forward to play this year Nioh, The Last of Us remastered (when it gets a heavy discount), Dirt Rally and The Witcher 3 GOTY when I clear my backlog a bit.

I'm waiting for that new God of War, Nier Automata and maybe Mass Effect Andromeda but for that I need to finish ME2 and 3 on PC so it's pretty low on the list. 2017 is gonna kill me...

It is still manageable on PS4. I gave up on PC because of the thousand of steam games and hundreds of GOG ones. I have enough games to play for a decade at least :shepface:

There's quite few multi-platform games on PC and so far my PS4 backlog is manageable.

Waiting for sales:
Gravity Rush 1&2
The Last Guardian
Inside
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X

Cleared:
FFXV

Eventually:
Journey
Rogue Galaxy

SOON:
Nier:Automata
P5

Maybe???

I'm on hiatus from FFXIV and I don't play any multiplayer games which helps :v:

However I'm easily distracted w/PC so I don't make much progress unless I REALLY like the game.

I think after my last week or so of intense Destiny playtime, I'm finally done until Destiny 2. I'm terrible at PvP so very few other online games have any appeal for me. But I can see how it sucks other people in. I put a lot of hours in to COD4 when I had young person reflexes, lived alone, and had very few adult obligations.

I feel so weird being out of Destiny right now. It's like when I stopped playing WoW years back. It was my entire gaming hobby. So now I got Let It Die as a fun aside, Titanfall 2, Battlefield 1, I want to get back into Rainbow Six Siege, I've been getting into Doom 1/2 modding scene, tons of backlog single player games that I've never finished and a bigger log of games I've never played but always wanted to like Earth Defense Force or Homeworld.

You'll be back this Fall for Destiny 2, fam. It'll be fine.

I kind of want to buy a PS4 Pro after seeing Boost Mode and how well PSVR and Nioh work on it, but then Destiny 2 got announced and I'm like hey maybe if I wait there'll be a white Destiny 2 Pro bundle?

I got my PS4 as a Destiny offer, there's no way they won't be bundling the poo poo out of Destiny 2.

PS4 probably won't be able to convince people it's a PS4 exclusive this time around, though, but all the more reason to pull out all the stops.

What attitude problem?
So I have roughly six months to go through my PS4 backlog and then still have my PS3 If I really get ambitious with games before Destiny 2 takes over everything.

However I will do nothing but play binding of Isaac because I have a problem.

It's funny how many games I have convinced myself I needed to buy cause of a screaming deal have just gone on to be even cheaper later on on free on PS+ and I never even launched them.

No way. The amount of packs I've bought in Steam where I'm only interested in one game out of 10 but was cheaper that way...

I've been playing Souls for as long as it's been around and I don't think Nioh is easy. The bosses consistently give me more trouble than Souls but the levels aren't too bad.
I'm having a similar experience. I think I'm underleveled because I'll fully clear a level and open shortcuts in one go and then die to the boss ten times. So I'm only collecting one area worth of Amrita total at a time.

edit: This is typical of souls-likes of course, acting as a performance-based difficulty slider. The only problem is that the bosses are getting harder quickly and I'm 20% under the mission levels.

If you have a 'backlog' that includes Bloodborne you should just go play Bloodborne, regardless of whether you like Souls games or not.

poo poo, I forgot I left PS+ annual renewal on on my US account and it went through last night. I guess I haven't used it in a year straight and forgot. Is there any way they'd consider reversing it?

Also is there any way to stop the auto-renewal through the web browser's interface or does it have to be from the PS4 itself? That account isn't even set up on the PS4 anymore.

It'd probably be fine if you open it up and clean the dust out of the fan and heat sink, pretty easy procedure.

A component and potentially deep 1v1 combat system shoved in a moba shell. Its not a good game.

2v2 was whoever wins their paired off duel first.
Moba is a moba. Maybe you like moba's?

1v1 not gonna sustain any repeatability. It felt tacked on. Like its where you learn how to play without worrying about getting stabbed in the back. So you can play the fun modes where you can be doing well with your verbset built around 1 on 1 battles...then get stabbed in the back.

I've never seen the mechanics of a game so at odds with the gameplay you are supposed to engage in with those mechanics.
