Lol. My hope is that I go and get to play a legend in the first round for 6 seconds before they obliterate me.

The spirit of gaming goals, imo, is to have smaller goals. If it's just Beat Some Games you might as well just make a backloggery.

Also this. Think targets more than end goals. Like something you want to accomplish in a weekend

Punished Chuck

I want to put at least an hour into all the dozens of my games on Steam that I haven't put that much, if any time, into.

Beat all the Souls games (excluding Demon's because I don't have a PS3), which I didn't try until I got really into Bloodborne a week or two ago.

Beat Dragon Quest IV and the ones coming to 3DS next year, and then follow it up with Dragon Quest: Heroes.

Survive a combat encounter with a non-combat character in Age of Decadence

I need to make goals as simple "beat these games by this date" or I get distracted by all the other games I have, and the crushing burdens of real life.

This is somewhat of a gaming goal, but I want to watch more movies this year than last year, and that means probably gaming less. But what can you do

i don't like Backloggery because it makes me feel forced to play these games i'm not necessarily in the mood for at the time.

I feel kind of the same way, even though I think it's kind of cool to track the games I play... I don't really let it influence what I play though, which is why I have something like 20 games in my 'now playing' thing.

A wolf howls.
I know how he feels.
I have a 'Finished' group I put my Steam games into whenever I feel like I'm done with them. Usually that means when I clear the campaign for the first time.

I got a ton of ps2 games to go through this year, ffvii for the first time, and some mapgames I've had but never got around to trying.

You don't understand, that those goals are pretty unlikely for me to finish in even a year. I can't play the same game for more than like an hour these days.
