Thoughts on this website for tracking /v/ backlogs?

>>719126816 (OP)
i don't care

Give her that Backlog D Jarrell...

Picrel mogs it

>>719126816 (OP)
I've given up on trying to beat all games I buy or want to buy. Life is too busy and there's too many games.

>>719126816 (OP)
>backlog
Don't have one. I shelve or sell the games that I know I won't finish and I only get a new game once I finish my current game.

Pretty shit website it it is nice to see all the games I have ever played in one nice set.

>>719126816 (OP)
Backlogs are gay
Just play whatever game whenever you want
All that time wasted on your gay lists can be spent playing more games
faggot

>>719126816 (OP)
Gaming is supposed to be something you do for fun, not a second job where you need to track the games you're forcing yourself to play.

>>719126816 (OP)
useless gimmick
I use it to post reviews and that's it, I don't have time to log every goddamn game I own nor do I care about it.

>>719127829
>you're forcing yourself to play.
That's not really the point of a backlog. It just means this is a list of games you want to play in the future.

>>719127829
I don’t think maintaining a backlog of games is seen as a job by anyone who has one. It’s a way of getting excited about games you want to play and organizing them. I’ve had a backlog for years and not for a single second has it ever felt like work.

>>719127925
>has time to post a cuckview

>>719128369
well I actually play the game I review before, that's plenty more than you retards do anyways

>>719126816 (OP)
What's the point of tracking my back catalog?

>>719128604
It’s fun and it helps you organize what you’ve played and what you plan on playing.

This shit is why people complain about games not being fun anymore: you're turning them into a list of chores you feel obligated to do instead of something fun you WANT to do.
Behead all backlogfags.

>>719126816 (OP)
i like it but its full of trannies and vnfags (vns are not vidya)

>>719126816 (OP)
people have backlog? thats crazy, just play whatever is popular this month then move on.

>>719126816 (OP)
It's pretty neat
Helps me organize what games I've played and what to play
Although their lists are pretty lackluster in terms of feature. You can't tag nor can you filter games by things like platforms or series

>>719126925
Inputting data into spreadsheets is not fun for tracking media

>>719127829
Keeping track of games you played and plan ahead on what to play does not make gaming a second job. The only difference it makes is that you actually know what games to play for the next few months
I don't get why does the concept of a backlog trigger so many retards here

>>719126816 (OP)
Backloggd is ok but one of my biggest pet peeves with it is how it has separate entries for nearly every version of the game.
It's like if letterboxd had a separate entry for each Blu-Ray release of Aliens.

why are low IQ people of a certain ethnicity known for having too much melanin so confused about the idea of having a curated lists of things that you know are interesting to you and that are you looking for (a sale for instance) instead of being an algorithm-driven golem that's just consuming the current most talked about slop of the month that's currently being advertised on /v/?
this is not a "second job", I take my hobby seriously so that's why I put effort and time into things like this

anyway objectively speaking the fanbase is both the worst and best thing of the website: it ranges from unironic unhinged trannies to people effort-posting and making youtube essays talking about shit they enjoy (as opposed to jaded 4chan dwellers that are never happy about anything)
it lacks some features like it would be nice to see the average length of the game without using a userscript/extension, I mean just pulling data and adding a small box to the UI surely isn't something that would require much work right?
also like someone else mentioned tags for better organization, ability to import/export .csv file like you could do on letterboxd, possible synchronization with psnprofile or steam to pull data from there or linking them in some way
another coll feature would me making lists you and other people could contribute to freely
I mean there's work to be done for sure but it's perfectly usable in its current state for the purpose it serves, which is making lists and organizing your backlog
I'm not familiar with the jannies of the website and whethere there are trannies in it, surely in the discord they have a lot of them but I'm not aware of reports of reviews being banned because reasons I guess
I don't write public reviews myself anyway so I don't really care

>it's now a black thing to not make accounts on logging sites
I think you're just a newfag honestly.

>>719130789
it's a black thing not to have a spare random trash email created specifically for cases like this

>>719130789
NTA but your reading comprehension is shit
He said it's a black thing to freak out about the idea of a backlog

>>719126816 (OP)
I choose a game and the site puts it into a list. Done. What else am I supposed to think about it?

I don't give a shit

for me, it's rateyourvidya

>>719129030
I don’t really see it. I just buy what looks cool to me and play what I want whenever I feel like it.

>>719129821
>Inputting data into spreadsheets is not fun for tracking media
Depends on how much info you're putting for each game, I just put what's necessary since I don't need an in depth database. Also it's on my hard drive instead of some website.

>>719126816 (OP)
i decide when i am finished with a gamr, i don't give a fuck what some achievements addicted nigger thinks, if a game loses my interest then i'm done with it, simple as, fuck off wth your retarded nigger ass "AHURRRD DURRFFURRRDURRR YEW HAF TEW FEENEESH EBRY GAYME" go suck a dick and die, nigger, eat my entire ass

>>719126816 (OP)
Uhhh it's alright I guess I'm just there to ragebait in the reviews

>>719126816 (OP)
i like it to organize my own backlog of games that I intend to play and to give a rating to the ones I already did.
Never really bothered with the more autistic part of logging every time I play and for how long so I don't have an opinion about that.
I also don't bother in reading the reviews so I don't really have an opinion about the community either.

>no simple way to check for a console's exclusives
they should also let people upload gameplay screenshots

shitty website bugged out when I was trying to add Ratchet and Clank so it's not on my list of played games but every time I click on the game it shows my saved rating

>>719126816 (OP)
>go on the site
>see a 1/10 for a game because someone didn't read trigger warnings
>comment politely that this review is pretty unfair
>get harassed
nah, fuck this site.

>>719126816 (OP)
Steam does this for me.

>>719134525
how can you be harassed on a website with no msgs

>>719137250
people kept calling me slurs in the comment replies

the site is good but it really needs a language filter, so obnoxious how every third review is in portuguese

mods are also mentally ill trannies but thats to be expected in that sort of site, got a week long ban for saying how picking star fox 64 over ace combat or rogue squadron is an early sign of furry autism

I like how youre able to actually talk about games you enjoy on other peoples reviews

>>719129821
>Inputting data into spreadsheets is not fun for tracking media
Inputting data into a web form is recently the same experience

>>719126816 (OP)
I've been using it for a couple of months. The UI is pretty garbage and the average ratings of everything are super inflated by normies. It has gay pithy review culture like letterboxd. Overall not bad.

>>719126816 (OP)
Its database is incomplete and I cannot accurately log my collection.
I've been using Backloggery for over a decade and I'm not gonna stop any time soon.

>>719129283
I just like keeping track of my media.
I own hundreds of games, many of which I haven't played or finished, so it's nice to have a resource I can look at when I want to find something to play.

>>719130418
Very helpful, thanks.

>>719134525
What game?

>>719126816 (OP)
I keep a spreadsheet and make a chart at the end of the year with everything I played.

>>719126816 (OP)
useless website cause playing through a video game takes substantially more time and effort than listening to an album, or watching a film, so logging it doesn't operate in the same way and it's inherently dissatisfying.

I just use a .txt file on my desktop

>>719140340
I don't think it's a useless concept, I keep track of games I want to play in a Google sheet, and then give them a quick and note the date when I finish one
I really like looking back over the past little while to see if I still agree with the rating I gave a game

Lisa I think it was?
