Revengeance is maybe 6 hours and then you can pick and choose fights on very hard and push to revengeance difficulty if you're into it.
If you want something completely different smt nocturne has impeccable vibes

the list is big, but I already played and removed +150 games from my backlog thanks to my deck
the list has never grown over 100 games, the backlog is constantly increasing or maintaining numbers because i keep buying or finding interesting shit that i already owned

I will never catch up. I pretty much always add a game as I remove/beat one.

I'm about halfway through persona 3 now and then I'll probably work on DMC 2 next. Or I might take a break from persona just to beat DMC 2 cause I heard it was short.

I don't get backlogs, if i want a game i'll buy it and then i'll play it. hording tons of games that i may or may not play just seems like a waste of money and more importantly a chore

my backlog is 100+ games (Steam only, I also have backlogs on other platforms)
I keep buying games and then proceed to replay old shit I already finished a dozen times
next in the line is Underrail, I hope I'll get to it soon

this is the curse of the wagie
jrpgs, massive open world 150h+ games and so on are pretty much impossible to play as a wagie, even more so if you are not single and have unironic irl responsibilities to attend to
this is why most wagies just play fotm or the most popular multiplayer games like cs2 and cod or fifa
the only positive aspect of this is that as a wagie you are motivated to make it and retire as soon as you can so that you can finally finish your jrpg backlog

bloodstained is pretty good and a reasonable length, especially if you aren't going for 100%. I recommend that one given that you are limited on time and a lot of those others are big time sinks

idk what the person in that image does but a lot of office jobs at larger companies/govt agencies are basically daycare for adults. what's even more depressing is many people in this positions carry on completely unaware of this thinking they do things that actually matter

Oh I love having a backlog. I've had one period in my life in my early/mid 20s where I thought gaming was dead and there was nothing good left. But as I've gotten older I realized I was just being a faggot and there is literally more good games that exist than I will ever have time to play in this life and thats a good thing.

I actually started tales of arise and got about 15 hrs in, just unlocked the black man.
I really enjoy the tales of games that I've played, but arise's combat being 99% just watching the cinematics to your moves being played made me drop it at the time. I never had that issue with symphonia, berseria, or zestiria.
>>714638365
I never 100% games, or at least almost never unless it's becoming one of my favorite games of all time like Cyberpunk/elden ring.
But I really should play bloodstained considering how much I love SotN and have been following the game since the original kickstarter. I think I even bought it day 1 but has been on the forever backlog.
>>714635112
Yeah being a wagie is more of a curse than it is a blessing.
Sure I can buy every game, special edition, DLC, etc I ever wanted when before I couldn't. But at least when I was a neet I could put a hundred or even a thousand hours into a game and not even bat an eye.
