And so here it is - my second part of my report on what I have played this summer. Once more I have to report on quite a number of stalled / incompleted games.

After the glory that has been Assassin's Creed: Origins and Star Wars: Fallen Order I thought that finally a momentum started building up. After enjoying and completing both games, I would now(!) be ready and on fire - a Streak-of-Completion with my next selected games, and my Pile of Shame would finally start melting like snow on a first spring day.

Besides the recent longer posts, there are also other games I played in between; some of these I did complete, but more I did not. So for this Interim Report on the first half of 2020, I would like to briefly mention and reflect on my experiences in: Tower of Time (completed) Assassin’s Creed (stalled) Warhammer 40k – Mechanicus (incompleted) Elex (incompleted) Quantum Break (completed) Tower of Time (completed) This games is a mixture of a bit of Baldur’s Gate, Divinity Original Sin, and… well anything Infinity Engine’ish. Story-wise the game is set in a dying world with a plague…

The first post on surveying my pile of games can be found here. I will try to track changes – e.g. additions, completions, stalls, delays – and also update play times to keep my process a bit more transparent. I also try to track playtimes a bit on various titles.

Considering my previous resolution, I would I say I did not that bad. Still, a new year seems to call for a new resultion, and as such I did what probably everybody who is considering new years’ resolutions is doing: I reflected on my last months and how to move forward. Good things accomplished From August to December I actually completed a whooping amount of three(!) games: The Wolf among us (9 hours, 85% achievements)The first Telltale-Formula game by … uhm Telltale. Quite a good game with a good story, but some drag in the middle. Loved the atmosphere though.…

Update: 09. February 2020 Deleted Aarklash: Legacy (moved to maybe list) Added Darksiders 3 (found on PS4) Added Shadow Tactics Added Frostpunk Added Okami HD Added Pathfinder Kingmaker How to select my next game In order to find the next game I decided for the following process for my selection. My libraries have been pooled and categorized in the following scheme: All games on Steam were categorized as followed: Games I really want to play (to-play), Games I completed (complete), Games I probably will start (maybe), Games I will start somewhen/never (somewhen), and Games I do not care/ignore (don’t want…

Oh well… so much for my proclamations and what I wanted to achieve game-wise over the summer.So boasted to recapture my pile of shame, and as result I did nothing of what I boldly proclaimed. Although, not true! I DID start Hellblade and I did start Wolf among us. I just did not finish both. And there is only one game to blame: Final Fantasy XIV – Shadowbringers What an awesome expansion, what an awesome MMO. I got so hooked and added 330h from start of July until the writing of this sentence. Unbelievable. I am shocked. Good thing is…

Today I announced – sponeanously and without considering the consequences – that I will not buy any more games for the whole rest of this year. So this is what may happen to you during an inconspicious coffee break. Funny enough – during my proclamation – I really believed in the achievement of this recapture, so let’s see how I can make this reality. #KingofmyPileOfShame My second sentence after this optimistic proclamation above was, that ‘I have so many awesome games in my library, that there is no need to buy any new games‘. So let’s see, what is in…

Oh wait… but can you actually – complete – Monster Hunter World? Of course not… but I reached a certain point of completeness, and this point was reached surprisingly sooner than expected. Funny enough, ...

I am registered at Battle.net, GoG, Humble Bundle, and of course Steam with active accounts and mainly buy (or am gifted) games on these platforms. I also had to register on Origin and Uplay for some games, because publishers said so. Recent updates Finished the story in Battletech – 10.06.2019 Incompleted Monster Hunter World – 01.06.2019 Steam As I own an account there since 2004, the most relevant (and trackable) platform is of course Steam; so I pulled up some data from Steamdb.info to get a first overview: Worth: 4.002€ (1.228€ with sales) Games owned: 252 Games played: 81 (32%)…
