In prep for Paper Mario Switch, I went back and played Mario RPG and the original Paper Mario. I don't feel like running through Thousand Year Door again. Any suggestions on which Mario RPG to hit next? I've played a bit into Paper Jam and it seems alright, but reviews of it tell me it might not be worth the time investment.

Re: too many games I took the credit card info off of my profile after going through a suspected account hack situation a month ago and it went a long way to curb my bad insta-purchasing habits. My pile is a little older than yours but I really ought to beat a couple before I buy XCOM2 or Super Mega Baseball 3, tempting as that might be: AI Somnium Files Dragon Quest XI Luigi's Mansion 3 Rune Factory 4 Breath of the Wild Wild Guns & Ninja Warriors remakes Splatoon 2 Switcher expansions Slay the Spire Indivisible

It's amazing that I still consider that game to look great considering what they were working with. Just goes to show that stylish, energetic animation makes a big difference.

I probably won't beat these but I do have them (I've played them a bit): Necrodancer, Rain World, Thumper, Darkest Dungeon. Games I'd like to beat but probably won't (though I've played them for hours): Baba is You, Road Redemption, Nuclear Throne, Overcooked 2 Games I'd like 100% though I've beaten them (and haven't played in ages): Skyrim, Broforce, Into the Breach, Children of Morta I'm probably going to start Final Fantasy 8 next week, though I've just been playing Streets of Rage 4 and Pokémon to get the special released critters. Star Allies has become my online/phone call game and I'm slowly 100%-ing that too, and Voxelgrams I play when listening to podcasts. I am someone who would GREATLY benefit from folders.

The "load times" in Clubhouse games is annoying. I don't know if it's load times but the over presentation where it takes about 15 Seconds to restart a game.

I think the other big Mario RPGs are Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story. A couple of the other M&L games might be alright too, though I've only ever played the SS and Partners in Time (which is alright).

My backlog is literally 50+ games, but I’ve started making a concerted effort to get through it. In the past week I’ve finished Dust, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse, Murder by Numbers, and am 4 hours into Bayonetta. I think Coteries of New York will be next, but there’s a loooooooong way to go before I let myself buy another game (unless there’s a good sale. Or something really cool comes out. Of course I’ll be getting the new Paper Mario. I have a problem)

For example Sega Ages Classics or whatever is the cheapest I've ever seen it which is 15 bucks, but the only games I love there (Streets of Rage) I have elsewhere so I don't care. Ori and the Blind Forest I'm sure I'd like and I hear it's good is also sub 15 at the moment, but I don't want to add to the back-log and it's normally just 20 which honestly, that's fine. I can drop 20 euro for it the day I'm ready to get it.

These backlogs are bananas. I noticed myself sliding down the slippery backlog slope back in 2010ish with Steam sales and my first real adult paycheck. I curbed that problem in a hurry. The presence of a pile of unplayed/barely played games really stressed me out. Now I keep a rough list of what I'd like to play and when a sale and/or timing work out in my favor I get one of those games. It's working very well and I don't feel stressed out by a fun hobby. Impulse/hype buying is a trap.

According to some YouTuber who did the digging in research journals: the average person only spends 30 mins a day playing video games. He was shocked at how low this figure was and compared it to his own. After all, most games range from 10-30 hours and RPGs especially hit the 100 hour mark as the norm now so he was skeptical As someone who games heavily, he was surprised to see that he was personally averaging an hour or less a day of playtime! And his entire career centers on playing and experiencing video games! What I'm saying is good luck not having a backlog the second you buy literally any game these days.

That is exactly how we wound up with season passes and all that poo poo. Companies trying to prey on your FOMO or desire to be unspoiled to ratchet up screen time. And I fall for it, every single time.

Even if you're not a fighting game type, you should eventually grab smash just because it's the biggest love letter to video games, their history and especially to iwata.

Oh boy... I play way too many drat video games. Quarantine gets me usually 3-4 hours a day especially between 11pm and 2 am. It's also what's got me to finish off a ton of games early on into the quarantine. I'm pretty confident a big chunk of my Triple AAA games will be done by the end of the year. The real trick is to not get sucked into buying indie games at the drop of a hat. They'll always be around and generally cheap. There's not really any purchases that I plan on making in the future aside from your major Nintendo IP, which we have zero news about (I'm not getting Paper Mario). I need to start reading again, since I had been doing that for 2-3 hours a day on my commutes. Wildtortilla posted:These backlogs are bananas.

The presence of a pile of unplayed/barely played games really stressed me out. Like I said, you just need to watch indie titles and not get them when they come out. I have a pretty big wish-list but it's there for a sale on a big title, or to remind me to pick up something up at some point. I keep a list of titles I want to get, and that aren't on the e-shop yet as well, but the only thing I'm certain to get off of that is Disco Elysium.

I think this comports with my experience. I think it's very likely that I spend more time reading this forum and thinking about video games than actually playing them. I think the only times I actually play video games for more than about an hour a day are during the roughly two weeks after I've bought a new one, which I would estimate I do about once every 2-3 months.

Why are you paying 60 for a game that'll be 30 in a month over supporting small 20 dollar games by devs that don't get paid just to code dlc? AAA will always be there.

AAA will always be there. I'm talking about on the things that increase my back-log. I'll buy 60 euro games on sale if it's particularly good one. I'll buy them full-price if it's something I really really want, which is usually just first-party stuff. Indie games don't increase my back-log since I just buy them à la carte when I have the time to play them. They're cheap enough normally so I don't mind paying full-price for them, but I prefer keeping them on a wish-list than already purchased until I'm ready to play them.
