Feeling overwhelmed with choice sucks!
@Daikonradish @phnt I haven't looked at it yet because I currently have no money because of delayed payments. Just like the last few years though, I'll probably get a couple of games max, if any. I've bought most of the games I want to play, and the new ones I REALLY want to play I'll buy at full price when they come out.
@Daikonradish @phnt if you're struggling to get through your backlog, a somewhat decent way to organize everything is to get a list of all the games you want to play. Put them in a spreadsheet. Get the audience metacritic score and divide it by how many hours it takes to beat it. Then multiply it by a value from 1 to 5 on how much you want to play it relative to everything on the list. You'll get a final score that will help sort out, generally speaking, what is going to give you the best time:quality ratio. You don't have to follow it exactly either, but it does help organize it and makes it easier to shave off games.
The only flaw to this system is that really long games, like RPGs, end up pretty low on the list. It's good to keep that in consideration when deciding what to play next. The main point of the list is to trim off games, though, both in the making of the list itself and playing the games.
