what are you guys using to track this stuff?

memory?

:I

i'm kinda excited if i can get to do it even tho i'll most likely fail

Just list the game you are playing as a mental note and keep playing and updating, really simple that way.

Hello Jason,

We are unable to locate this subscription on your account. Please provide the key, or the approximate time when the key was registered to the account.

I'm getting there. Slowly but surely. But I'm not ruling out the possibility of the wrong game being removed even after I supply the key. :p

ugh don't post your real names here people

it ruins the fantasy versions of yourselves i have in my head

silly saoirse

Yeah seriously, mine is really bad so far, and I only reason I haven't sent it in is because I then wouldn't have any other way to play Dark Souls since I can't play it with a keyboardo

Git gud with keyboardo! That sucks though, and this also gives me an excuse to try out the Xbox one controller.

OH that reminds me, I do have a Wii U pro controller lying around somewhere, I just gotta figure out how to get it working now on my PC like the DS4 haha. I've been thinking about replacing my DS4 sticks with the xbox one sticks, but I'm not sure yet. I'm worried that if I sent my DS4 and it gets new sticks that those ones are gonna eventually tear like these ones.

I completely forgot to get in on that thread sooner. Just listed out all the games I've finished this year, only 26 so far. I'm halfway there!

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=127387172&postcount=1610

Yeah I'm gonna try to compile a mini list at some point tonight, but it's gonna take awhile since I wanna write little mini impressions for each game as well, plus I have to look up my playtimes for each game. I know I'm probably hovering in the high 20's somewhere, which isn't too bad.

So I finished Dawnguard on my lost save a few days ago, thought I'd share my impressions of said Skyrim expansion: overall it was OK. I really like some of the new locations the expansion added. The new tilesets are pretty neat (slightly spoilerish so I'm not gonna get into detail), the artistic design of the new areas are quite striking and sometimes genuinely beautiful. The only thing I didn't like about the new areas is that it took me 4ish hours to finally get to them. There is quite a lot of recycling old areas and it kinda sucks. The storyline is... kinda bland imo. I really like the beginning where your just meeting the new characters, building up your forces, and preparing for the inevitable showdown with the big bad. Only problem is the stakes go too high and it devolves into a 'save the world story', and I am SO tired of that in media. It felt like a storyline that could've been WAY more interesting if it had better direction and competent writing, since there are some genuinely interesting story threads that fall by the wayside. Story aside, there were some interesting tidbits of lore that I enjoyed learning about (the backstory of the falmer, history of both vampires and dawnguard), so it has some value if your into TES lore like me. With that said, in regards to new gameplay stuff, the new armor, weapons, and companions are pretty awesome (ARMORED BATTLE TROLLS). I dunno, overall I think it's DECENT but dissapointing.
Writing this out on mobile so apologies for bad formatting.

btw dead state beta's up

i wish more people were interested for this game lol

I backed it, but i think since its taken so long people havent followed it. I think when it actually releases fully and they get some trailers out there people will take interest again, as long as it isnt a disaster.

well sounds better when you back it on kickstarter :p

Well yeah, I hear you. I backed Wasteland 2 at the minimum level to get the game upon full release. They gave me the beta anyway. I put a few hours into it and liked it, but then decided I'd shelve it until it released fully. If you backed Dead State, I can understand your excitement. Myself, I can wait for a full release and hear some reviews.

Well done corrosivefrost!

Congrats :D

I think that makes six people that post in steamgaf part of the hall now.

Backloggery is useful for keeping track of games in your backlog, or just collection in general. Playfire is useful for keeping track of exact times for PC games, since Steam just rounds the times. The 3DS has the Activity Log feature built in. I use a stop watch feature in an old itouch to keep track of times for systems that don't do it automatically, like the GBA.

I'm reinstalling Civilization V. Not sure if I'm making a huge mistake...

You're making the best mistake.

hah I didn't realize til now my keyboardo spelling mistake. Oh well :p.

Also Phoenix I forgot about using my DS3 also, but I'm not a big fan of the sticks on that either :-/. Hopefully I can get used to playing Dark Souls on the Wii U Pro, but it's gonna feel way different.

Wait, can we count story DLC as individual games in that 52 games thread? Like BI: Burial at Sea and TLOU: Left Behind?

2 weeks after sending them a message about the JawmuncherC I get a response....to send them a image WTH. All I needed them to do was delete that nickname.

If so that could greatly increase the amount of games I've played this year. Then I could count stuff like Super Luigi U and the Dishonored DLC

I played with a 360 pad until my wireless receiver died. (Crappy MS hardware) Then I switched to DS3. I really need want to try the Wii U Pro controller, that looks like it could be my favorite controller.

Played a few levels of STFU last night and really enjoyed it. Right up my alley. Unfortunately I just bought a PS4 and it has taken my attention away from my Steam library. Been playing a lot of PvZ with the guys and almost finished Infamous Second Son. At least it's slowed me down for buying more PC games....I guess that's a positive.

If it's a 3-4 hour campaign, I don't see whynot.
It took 2-3 hours to slog through Brothers. It took 10 minutes, max, to hold up and complete The Plan. Why would I not count the 3+ hours I spent on A:CM:SI? It's new story, new levels, etc. Considering the amount of time it took me to 100% the Muramasa DLC? I'm counting that too.

What could PS4 possibly have to cause you to buy one at this point in time, let alone have it distract you from your Steam library?

JaseC and I have the same name.. Probably shouldn't have made that joke that I was JaseC's alternative account lol

Who ever would have thought that a poster with the username JaseC would be Jason C.? :gasp:
Also, we know you're not his alt for several reasons, like because a last name starting with N. is not a last name starting with C.
But most importantly, your steam account owns too few games and you don't add enough to your library regularly.
In the future, you may apply to the council of Jase when your Steam library has more than 1k games.

Welp, just grabbed Guacamelee STCE with the loyalty discount.

I guess that counts as a triple-dip at this point.

My man!

PS: My name is Mika and it was super weird when I played Majora's Mask and the Zora guitarist was called Mikau. I'm also the Grand Maester of Yevon and spiritual leader of Spira.

It was $399AUD delivered. I always intended on getting one within the next year or so and since it's pretty unlikely the RRP is going to be that low for a while I thought I might as well. I already had a Vita so the whole remoteplay (which works way better than I expected) and cross buy things came into the equation as well. As for games, getting my open world fix with some Infamous Second Son and I got talked into buying Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare which turned out to be a damn good shooter....so yeah....I'm sure the new console sheen will wear off eventually but right now its a big distraction.

I just realized that I did in fact keep a record of what games I beat earlier this year! I might jump on that 52 games challenge this year after all; sounds fun! Are replays counted as playthroughs? I replay a lot of games.

This guy does.

I don't understand PvZ:GW... it makes no sense to me. What's so special about it?

Most likely, yes.
It's just 52 games beaten. Not "beat 52 games you never beat" before. :)
Sign up, make a post. You can do it, champ. :3
 
I promise my time of Lethal League plugging is almost over, but man the emoticons for the game are really solid. Then again, i really like crafting badges and getting emotes. Backgrounds not so much, but rarely are any of those actually worth anything, so i never sell them anyways.

I mocked the very idea of that game when it was announced. Who knew how great a game it would've turned out to be?

It's just a really fun, accessible, well designed game. Graphics are great, the various game modes are great and there's a tonne of content there. Not much more to say really.
