I'm removing games from my backlog if I don't like them after 2 hours
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 4th, 2026 6:28 PM Author: quarter-zip wifeguy Played 2 hours of Prince of Persia The Lost crown and it's not that fun, it's a generic AAA Metroidvania made by a committee of PoC LGBTQ. The "prince" of "persia" is also black and has dreadlocks. It's a George Floyd Core game. I was misled by Redditors who are largely poor and have to defend their purchase cause it cost them a lot, relatively. They can't admit they were swindled. I can. That's the difference.
So I stopped playing & removed it from my backlog. It's freeing doing this.
Currently playing Persona 5 Tactics and it has about 90 mins left to wow me. I'm skipping all the cut scenes and story. I will conquer this backlog. |

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:30 PM Author: quarter-zip wifeguy I need to do that more. But i would buy physical games when they're on sale thinking i'll get to them some day.
I won't pirate on pc anymore though it's not safe with all the viruses and rootkits etc. Imo

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:29 PM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) You can't really remove them on Steam but you can Hide them. My Hidden Games Backlog is like my skeletons in the closet or the crazy drunk uncle locked in the attic. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863603&forum_id=2...id#49864931) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:31 PM Author: quarter-zip wifeguy A backlog can loom over you like the gaming sword of Damocles, if you're not careful it can be a ruinous psychological burden (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863603&forum_id=2...id#49864936) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:33 PM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) sometimes they are so bad that you just want to delete them entirely rather than suffer the ignominy of association, even after paying full price. but you are only buying a license on Steam so you don't really "own" them as Reddit constantly reminds us.

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:35 PM Author: quarter-zip wifeguy Cr. On steam you can refund under 2 hours playtime. Done that a few times. 'cult of the lamb" recently, what a piece of shit game (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863603&forum_id=2...id#49864955) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:43 PM Author: which is what makes time travel possible true, that game is a good litmus test for shitty indie games vs good ones. if you like it your taste is removed from my consideration.
seems like every media niche eventually evolves to serve the subset of people who just like the trappings and use it as a way to mindlessly decompress. |

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:46 PM Author: OYT and the Indie Reprieve ( ) I honestly think Darkest Dungeon is one of the greatest games ever made. sometimes they just click for you. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863603&forum_id=2...id#49864999) |

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:49 PM Author: cowgod Just because I possess the license to a game doesn’t mean it’s in my backlog. Fuck that noise. Otherwise doodikoff has like 20,000k games in his backlog.
It doesn’t make a difference if there’s money involved either. The price you pay is just a buy-in. It’s a Gamble. You win some, you lose some. I don’t owe westerners 5000k hours.
You can Curate and only buy games you know will be good but then you’ll only play like 1-2 games a year. You aren’t going to bat 1000k and you don’t owe some western fuckwits your Time. |

Date: May 4th, 2026 6:51 PM Author: quarter-zip wifeguy A physical game is harder to justify sitting unplayed. It's taking tangible space irl
I will not buy any western game ever again unless it's indie and acclaimed |

Date: May 4th, 2026 10:04 PM Author: cowgod Never say never but ignore the western hype cycle, fuck that noise. You are missing out on objectively better games that nobody makes YouTube videos about (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5863603&forum_id=2...id#49865621) |
