  • In this video, I’m sharing how I’ve been able to finish more games and get through more of my backlog this year. The big thing is being super intentional with what I pick to play and sticking with one game at a time. I'll talk about why multiplayer games are such a time sink and how cutting back on them helped me out. Plus, I’ll dive into how buying too many games can be fun but also kind of a trap. If you're looking to clear out your backlog and enjoy gaming more, this might help. #gaming #gamingvideos

    My biggest problem is that when I only have a few hours, I'll always procrastinate booting up the game and start making excuses like "It takes me 30 minutes just to remember what I was doing". This results in me basically never playing what I want and just watching youtube or doomscrolling through social media on my free time... Your videos have actually been helping me dealing with this though, i've taken more time to disconnect from things I dont care and try to be intentional, still its kinda hard sometimes. Also thanks for the incredible videos you've been putting out! always great to see you

    Another tip I would add is - don't be afraid to lower the difficulty. I spent my life only touching the difficulty setting to ramp it up, but realized once I had a kid, a career, and a number of games that I really loved the forthe story but never finished was because I was working too hard at it.
    If you love a game, set it to "Story mode" or "Easy" if you're really interested in the story! It’s well worth it to finish it off.

    • @johnsducks9816

      Couldn’t agree more, as you age your reflexes slow, plus medium difficulty is getting harder. I wasn’t enjoying spider man at all until i permanently turned the difficulty down to easy, all of a sudden i was enjoying myself and ended up beating the story mode.

    1. Pretend the Backlog doesn't exist
    2. Only play the game you really want to play at that moment
    3. One game at a time, until you feel like you are done with it
    4. Delete the game before starting a new one
    5. Never play out of compulsion or because you feel bored, but rather as a treat after finishing work

    Can't believe i was a catalyst to making this video . Great stuff. 100% agree on the multiplayer thing. those games just suck you in and after a while its so repetitive to keep grinding. Ive entirely stopped playing multiplayer games just so i can focus on a few single player titles. Wayy more fulfilling.

    My biggest issue seems to be an internal conflict between wanting to finish the game versus completing all of the side quests/collectibles. I have this internal pressure to want to finish the game as quickly as possible but also the severe fomo when I miss a collectible.

  • @Raggsocka
    @Raggsocka 3 дні тому +5

    I view playing games and collecting games as sepatate hobbies. That way I can buy games that I have little to no intention to play just because I want them in my collection, and I can also play whatever I want because there is no pressure to play or finish everything. Having a large collection also means that if I get the urge to play something from a certain genre or generation, I most likely have something to scratch that itch.

    If you have the money, get a Steam Deck. I doubled the amount of games I finished last year. Especially for smaller or older AAA games that are still sitting in your backlog. The ability to pick up the Deck and immediately keep playing from were you left helps a lot. The barrier is removed to motivate yourself to sit in front of the PC, boot it up and then pick a game. Also the Deck is great if you have to go to the toilet for longer sessions :D There are many games that I played throug while sitting in the bathroom. This way I also managed to play some of the longer games. Playing everyday on the Deck for like half an hour or hour doesnt sound like much at first, but over time you will be surprised how "fast" you got through it.

    Best thing I ever did was stop worrying about finishing games, just playing what sounds fun and if I happen to beat something then I beat it, otherwise you get caught up in just staring at your library wondering what to play or feeling overwhelmed at the fact of what to play and you end up doomscrolling and YouTubing. People just gotta not take life so seriously and just relax as long as your working and paying your bills just do what you enjoy don’t overthink it

Make bed, water plants, walk the dogs etc. Usually an hour is the time frame on days I work and it has helped a lot, it's even made me look forward to playing more when it used to be a struggle to get motivated to play. I don't worry about having a backlog because I'll probably be gaming until I'm an old man and beyond so I got time lol

    This was such a good video. I've been playing the Witcher 3 for 2 months now and its just been a slow burn that I'm having such a good time with. There are times where I cant get a session in long enough for the Witcher 3 so my PvP game is the finals. Its nice because 3 matches is about half an hour and that's when I've had enough usually. Then I've started a world in Astroneer which requires nothing more than your time. Super chill survival game that you can just hop in and out of.

    @maximilian2843 3 дні тому +4

    Personally i think it's not important to finish more or less games. It's about having fun in the time you have on your hands (like you mentioned in some of your earlier video). But i do feel finishing a game by playing through it is an awesome experience, so i try to not start 4-5 games at the same time and completely lose my focus, insight of the different games and motivation to boot them up again (like you summed up perfectly)
    I played Witcher 3 over weeks/ if not months and just went with the stories the game told. It was a nice adventure from beginning to end and i think if i had started 3 or 4 other games at the same time or tried to rush it, i probably wouldnt have finished it until today! Rn i'm replaying dark souls 2 and i take my time with it even though i have 20+ games on my backlog. I just go with my vibe of enjoyment and positively: my backlog isn't running away. So i don't overthink it. :D

  • @NonEmployee

    I'm actually on the opposite spectrum of your whole "too much multiplayer so trying single player now" because I've played strictly single-player games for nearly a decade now, mostly due to some anxiety I have for online gaming that I didn't have when I was younger. Nowadays I have serious burnout, and I can't help but wonder if going back to multiplayer, especially shooters which I got a HUGE amount of fun out of back then, if I would have fun again.
    EDIT: Also even if I'm really enjoying a game, I can't finish it because I still get tired of playing them. I figure the whole "focus on one game" idea would definitely not work for me.

  • @samuraishuyin

    My weakness is I’ll start a game, but end up taking a break from it, and then feel that I need to start the game from scratch next time I pick it up again. Finally broke the cycle with Metroid Prime and just picked up where I left off, and it’s the only game I’ve completed in the last 3-4 years.

    Cutting out these toxic multiplayer games has been amazing. It's damaging to my mental health to sweat DBD or CS2 when they're objectively bad games. Since then, I've started Resident Evil, Telltale's The Walking Dead, and been having fun on co-op mp games like Helldivers 2. It's been a blessing.

    The problem is not a matter of time. If you love and care about something, you will find the time for it. It's the passion to play that's diminishing day by day, and finding a worthwhile game from start to finish that's worth the time and money is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

  • @Ty-douken

    I've been intentional over the last 3 years & it's allowed me to beat about 70 games. That might kot sound like a lot to some people, but is way more than I used to & way more than most of my friends (besides one, he's a beast).
    I've found tracking when I beat or complete a game to be the biggest factor as it helps reinforce the desire to finish, as well as getting an extra dopamine hit from jotting it down one beaten.
    For multiplayer outside of coop I stick to Fall Guys, it's pretty casual & easy to play solo or with friends. It also doesn't take long to finish the battle pass (less than a week if you wait for 2x or 3x xp) & doing dailies takes a maximum of an hour if I'm playing poorly. I do wish their battle passes didn't have fomo built into it, but I find myself throwing it on even after earning everything when friends are online just to play something while in between games. Though I have played about 700 hours of it since launch, but don't regret a minute of it.

  • @johnsducks9816

    I think its good to pick a game and stick to it, but also its good to keep in mind that its completely okay to switch it up. For example i was playing Nier Replicant for the last couple months and i was really enjoying everything about it but after like 10 hours i felt it got a little repetitive and instead of forcing myself to finish it like i usually would i just took mental note of what had happened in the game so far then switched to Pokemon Omega Ruby for a couple weeks got through it really quick at 3x speed in citra then went back to Nier to finish it and it felt fresh again and i enjoyed it so much finishing it off earlier this week

    Here's a tip to fight hype: Instead of buying something new, find the game in your backlog that's either part of that series or similar to it. Just recently, I couldn't get Dragon Age Veilguard out of my head and I was really feeling the nostalgia of my days playing the crap out of Bioware RPGs. So I thought "Wait, didn't I buy the first one out of hype a while ago?" And turns out it's been sitting on my PS3 for ages. So I'm playing through that instead. Same with games that scratch the same itch as a popular game that may catch your eye. It's all another opportunity to scratch a game you own off the list instead of giving up money for something that'll sit there

  • @vitsavicky

    I usually can't sink more than 50 hours into a single game in succession without getting bored. So as soon as I near that number, I intentionally put it down for a couple of days and try to finish a smaller game as a palet cleanser. I found that it works really well for me. But on the other hand I have literally over 150 games on my backlog and over 250 games on my various wishlists... I know that I will never be able to finish all of them. I have already accepted that, but having an organized list I can pick and choose the right game for the mood I am in.

    The thing for me is there are games that are so long but so good that I would love to replay but at the same time like I said are so long and some games are too difficult like Midnight Club LA that mostly it gives me temptation just to finish the game and then just enjoy races no matter the position I finish and just play if my Internet connection is down since the modern games mostly requires internet and have other games with that case too but this video is really good for the other games I still haven't finished and will try this method,

    I'm playing Black Myth: Wukong - It's so awesome, but I can't be bothered to keep playing. I finished 4 chapters, two more to go. But why should I force myself to keep playing? It's constantly on the back of my mind though when I game, because I payed 60 bucks for it, I think it's aweseome! But apparently not awesome enough?
    I think it might be because of this: ADHD + Roguelite games I play which are quick, witty and just less time consuming.

  • @johnjoobooks
    @johnjoobooks День тому

    Very smart ideas from a young (no offense - your soothing voice sound young) person!
    Agree with the said, and even found something new - I do realize that once I finish the game, I have it as memory trigger for that period of my life!
    My tip - sometimes, you have to force yourself, just a little bit, at the start. I know that sounds strange, and even counter-fun - I get it. But I do believe that after some time in gaming, especially if you play multiplayer games, you get so used to fast dopamine rushes, that really good, quality games that worth your time -- look intimidating.
    But once you push yourself pass that barrier, the great story, the atmosphere, the design - it will suck you in, and you will be glad you made that step. That;s what happened to me with Witcher 3, for example.

  • @suntannedduck2388
    @suntannedduck2388 3 дні тому

    Been playing many old games and beat about 20 solo modes in a variety of PS3/360 shooters, Splatoon 2 solo, Malice, Chicken Little PS2 recently, on to Up movie game on Wii now. I have a fair way through many games like Kya Dark Lineage, Juiced 2 on PS3 (Got fair way through PS2 version), Full Auto 2 PS3.
    The portal 2 gameplay is funny as I think I'm stuck on that but so you kind of helped me there. XD I'll get back to playing Portal 2 again.
    I rarely restart a game unless intended as a new playthrough or a bug preventing me (Gravity Rush 2 O button vacuum didn't work it was like the button was pressed in how it functioned so had to restart the game, didn't get far but still).
    But usually if a repeat playthrough or NG+ of a shorter game or a challenge I have for a game I know inside and out.
    But otherwise I focus on any new pickups, back and forth between consoles, pacing it out. Had a few in 1 day games like BF3 or Splinter cell Conviction but they were particular cases I don't try to binge a game usually.
    I jump between genres to play what I feel like. I seek game design. I don't buy licensed games usually but enjoyed a few.
    I'm playing what I want to collect or thought were cool. But not for a list, it's a goal but not something I want to beat of any shooters for PS3/360/Wii.
    Any racing WRC/MotoGP/F1 that interest me and beat as in the modes I wanted not 100%.
    I seek AA or B grades for their game design not the biggest games out there.
    I've beat more this year then prior years but there isn't anything I care much for this year either as there was 2022/2023 a handful of modern games but still 20 and less length but still got to finish them, only have some of them.
    I used to do co-op or MP offline but these days solo and not against that.
    Many games wanted to play, I space out games, what in the mood for, what have time for if hour long endurance events in a racing game then sure time for it. If mornings sure, if afternoons sure play then, get other stuff done.
    Some.games take a bit to get into then second try work around them.
    But with good game design I'll play them if not I give up, try again or won't even buy them as I know whether I will like it or not.

    My toxic trait with my backlog is that no matter how interested I am in playing a game, I MUST play every game in the franchise before that one first, and if I don't complete the previous games I still feel incomplete and like I'm not "allowed" to start the game until I beat all the other ones. It worked for me as a teenager to get me to finish a game before I was allowed to buy another, but now my only obstacle is time and my lack of skill to beat a lot of these games on my list, a lot of them are retro games and I'm nowhere near as good at them as I was when I was a kid. Even Mario 1 has given me lots of trouble and I'm struggling to beat it without any saving capabilities because I also don't allow myself to use save states (unless a game takes away all your stuff on a loaded save like Mega Man, Donkey Kong Country 2 or Metroid 1)

  • @Bu1lock
    @Bu1lock 3 дні тому

    My main issue was the indecision around what to play next. I would drop games after 1-2 hours because they didn't immediately hook me, and then feel bad about not giving them a chance so they would never leave the backlog. My solution this year is to start 1 new game per month. That game gets a full month where it's the "Main Single-Player Game" and I make an effort to play that game. Then it's removed from the backlog list. I end up with a much shorter list of games; games I've already started plus whatever this month's game is.
    Most games I manage to finish in that month, and the one's I don't finish I no longer feel bad about. I put 16 hours into Disco Elysium but am nowhere near finishing it. I like the game but I lost steam after a while and it didn't hold my attention through to the end. I might go back to it but I don't feel like I have to play it - I know I gave it a proper chance . Contrasted with Monster Hunter World where I've put 47 hours in and am near the end. The game just grabbed me and it was easy to put the hours in.
    I've found doing this eases the anxiety. I don't play a game with the constant guilt that I should be playing something else. I don't feel bad playing multiplayer games. Each game gets a proper chance to hook me and if it doesn't I move on. That said, my backlog is 50+ games so I'll probably never actually clear it this way.

    Consulting my backlog spreadsheet, there are 126 games on it between games I’ve bought, gotten for free with Games with Gold, or are on Game Pass. I’ve had an Xbox for nearly 5 years now. I’ve beaten 55 of those games and stopped playing 6 of those games. 65 games remain in the backlog. It’s been a fun 5 years.
    It helps that the only multiplayer games I play are Halo, so i don’t get bogged down with constantly having to play the never ending multiplayer games. It’s just halo haha. And once I hit max rank in MCC within the next 2 months, I’ll take a break from playing multiplayer in that game, so there’ll be more time for the other single player games on my list.

    Dude, I feel like I've recently fallen into the bad habit of buying games before I've even finished ones in my library 😅
    Plus, the Diablo 4 expansion is dropping soon, and I wanna get that, too.
    And, I'm pretty hooked in Valorant...
    So many games. Such little time.

    Maybe I should just turn the difficulty down. It’s not something I normally do

    Honestly, when i have a game i played, but didnt finish, its 99% a game i either didnt enjoy, or stopped enjoying as i was playing it.
    Also i sadly cant focus on one game at a time. I always have one or two more i play, when i dont feel like playing the main one (Currently its GTA 4). Plus a game im playing for the video. I think i just need to organize things better.
    Also the mutiplayer side isnt an issue for me, because im not into it.

    Being more international and dropping games you dont enjoy is very important.
    That said im the kind of gamer who cant just focus on one game. So for me i try to have 2 or 3 games in a rotation. And they all need to be different. So for me its mostly 1 JRPG, 1 more Action Focused Game with an Active battle and the Thrid one is usally something like Marvel Snap for me that i play for a long time already.

    Don't buy games when they reales (you will be at the peaks of you hype) wait a mounth or two and see if you are still excited
    If you are using steam , when buying a game take the 2 hour chance immeditaly to try the game and get a feel if you like it or not
    Commet to one game at a time
    Personally I don't have problem if I didn't finish some games like rogue likes games because I feel that the intention behind them is to enjoy the gameplay not finishing a goal. But it is diffrent when it comes to story games.
    When you have multible games in the same genera try listing them from the most gyped to least and buy them one by one after you finishes the game before it
    I think these adices will help 👌

  • @MarkoVuckovic32
    @MarkoVuckovic32 2 дні тому

    I always play one single game until I'm done with it, even if it takes more than 100 hours for example. My backlog can get big at times but I simply don't care because I know that I'll try all of those games eventually at some point. On the other hand multiplayer games tend to get boring to me rather quickly because you are always doing the same thing over and over again in most of them and most of them don't really have an end goal but rather the developers constantly add new stuff which can get overwhelming. I prefer older multiplayer games where there is a certain amount of stuff to unlock and when you unlock everything, you can either stop playing that game or keep playing just for fun. On the other hand I'm not a fan of games with endless ranks, battle passes etc. Like what's the point when it starts feeling more like a job rather than something you do for fun and to take a break from your actual job?
