I had a PS4 until I sold it in June if you're wondering how I played all of the uncharted games. Rest were on PC
The math don't add up. 5.5h/wk x 52 = 286 h of gaming, but all those games together are an average of 425h to complete the main story. You are playing alot more than you think!
I'm jealous you had that much time, i love rpgs as well ;) have fun.
My Steam recents:
Everything that's got a finishable campaign here I've completed, with the exception of MCC where I only played Halo CE and ODST to completion.
lotta yawns in this list, but i envy your free time. nice life 👍🏿
I vote you play Control next! Challenge mode: Dyson Sphere Project
I have multiple saves with Dyson Spheres around black holes.
They were played consecutively.
I watched, while playing that game, every single episode of classic Trek, and SNW. I believe a few movies are sprinkled in there too.I only stopped playing to play Clair Obscur.
How did you finish Minecraft?
To me, killing off the ender dragon is the end of minecraft but this run was with friends in a server so we did a speedrun of it. My friends are extremely experienced players so we beat the ender dragon in just 4 days of starting the game. We're currently building stuff in our server and exploring end game content
Years and years ago I had a server with a few friends and we built a massive city populated with villagers. It got to the point where you couldn't ever have the entire thing loaded at once because there were so many.
Then they did an update and we stopped playing and that was the last time I touched it.
Godamn, how'd you have time?
an hour everyday and 3 hours during a weekend is usually enough provided that you dont play multiplayer games at all. Even 30 mins a day is usually enough to finish a lot of games but im not that consistent these days. You can notice the gap between skyrim and red dead (ignore minecraft and fo76)
Oh I didn't see the dates. Now I really don't believe you. There's no fucking way you finish Spider-Man that fast. I played that game. 2 days? Even if it was a weekend you didn't finish that thing in 6 hours. A lot of these games are very long games.
If the shown dates are the dates of completion, the span would not be May 12th to May 14th but May 3th to May 12th.
inFAMOUS: First Light has 4 hours for the main story. Which fits this idea. But I don't use the website.
Spiderman 1 took me 2-ish weeks to platinum. Miles Morales platinum took just 3 days. That was during a vacation and I clocked in 6-8 hours of gaming in a day for miles morales. Main game is like 6 hours + a few hours for the extras and NG+ makes the game a lot easier + I played on friendly neighbourhood. It's pretty doable.
That's impressive. I'm more of a "play everything but finish nothing" kind of player...
I used to be that until I realised that the satisfaction of finishing a game is much better. Since I buy my games, I feel better when I finish the game that I bought
This is where I'd put my finished games-if I had any.
Did you make this chart yourself from scratch or is there some kind of tracking tool to help?
There's an entire site dedicated to tracking your backlogs - https://backloggd.com/
Thanks, I love it
Awesome list! A bit jealous in your free time, how do you do this?
Not really a lot of free time. Most of these were played during my college exams.
Man i am going to sound old, but enjoy while you can!
I feel like I have no freetime now and I used to somehow play games go drink do my homework and exams.. oh wait now I remember, 3-4 hours of sleep and ocassional allnighters, I was dissasociating and in a haze by graduation I didnt even shave or get a haircut, looked rough
I don't feel like playing a lot too which is why you see a lot of gap between skyrim and rdr1. I have a lot of games installed rn but nothing gets finished. I only have one single player game at a time but been playing minecraft a lot with friends these days so thats where my time was going towards
Lmao.
"When you're done with your exam you can just leave you know?”
"Shut up dude, cannot jinx my Gwent streak!"
Congratulations! I’m happy when I finish two games in a year.
I see Assassin's Creed III Remastered! I've been playing that lately, it's been a fun time. Uncharted too.
I had a mixed feeling about that one but it was a unique AC experience. Uncharted was amazing. I honestly miss my playstation because of it but given my life decisions I think steam deck would be the perfect choice.
The gameplay could have used a little work, but man as an overall experience Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty great. I'd love to see them get a sequel, or a similar game with a different super-team like the Exiles.
The exiles would make a fire custom hero game, make your own xman variant
Sadly a concept made for live service, going world to world doing missions
I totally forgot about the Guardians game. I don't think I ever finished it. Got lost in the hustle and bustle of life.
Gonna have to go back through that.
I played it on ps4 and it was quite buggy but the story was awesome. Didn’t expect it to be that good. It was the last game I played on my ps4
So what made 2007 even better for you? I feel like that‘s important to know since these games didn‘t come out in 2025. You could‘ve played anything in 2007 that came out before that year.
That was almost 18 years ago so I dont remember much but i do remember playing SNES and NES games and some adobe flash games during that time. Nothing major happened during all these 18 years. My gaming activity peaked last year. Earlier years, I only used to finish 1-3 games tops. This year its almost 40. Yes. 40 games in a single year
That's a nice list. Did you finish all the games you started? Or drop some games too?
My backlog list has ~43 games in it. Most of which were dropped a few hours into the game. Those are by far, the toughest games that I mentally need to get back to and finish them
You don't have to finish all the games. It's okay to drop games you aren't enjoying. In the long run, time is a much more scarce commodity than money.
Yeah. Some games were dropped forever but some games were dropped because I lost interest in them but still wish to play them as I paid for them
Donut County was so good, so perfect.
It's such a cute little game! A real delight to play.
gotta ask: what happened 2007?
2007 was the time since i've been playing video games. This is the first year where I actually spent a lot of hours on gaming and finished a lot of games.
What was your favourite ?
More like favourites; Guardians of the galaxy, uncharted 3, rdr 1 and 2, witcher 3 and skyrim
Easy to agree with that list. Stuff like Witcher3+dlcs were a mesmerizing experience.
Arkham Asylum but not the rest? /s
I loved Spider-Man and Miles Morales, I need to play Spider-Man 2 but I'm waiting for a better sale on steam.
Also, Guardians of the Galaxy blew me away with how fun and awesome it was. Like I honestly feel bad for waiting so long to play it.
Arkham Asylum was the last Arkham game i played. Played it in reverse order.
Lego Marvel Superheroes is probably one of my favorite Lego games! It's not without its faults (it kinda bugs me that free play just sticks you back in with pretty much the same cast of characters), but it's just so much fun to wander around the over world map causing wanton chaos and being a general menace. Plus, I love that the characters generally voice aced by the same people that voice/ play them in live action or other shows, so when Iron Man talks it sounds like Iron Man.
