The secret to happiness is… [Lvl 2+] [NEW WL GIB]

Bump! :)

I am doing the same thing. I have over 350 and I cut it down to 260. Hopefully, I can let go of other games to reduce it to 100.

I have 32 games on my Steam wishlist, and nothing that I'd actually buy unless it's heavily discounted or bundled. Even then, the chance of me actually playing those games is small.

I think I have around 100 games on my wishlist. Definitely need to lower it somehow.

Anyways, thank you for the nice GAs, BauerBoy ;-)

I have 60 games in my wishlist and those are mostly games that i would play immediately after getting them.
I do not have the urge to play them right after they are published so i wait for the right time to get them with a fair discount or even bundled.

Bump.

Potatos!

Bump thx

Thank you so much,please wishlist if you want.
Actually i'm more happy about how i handle my buy games after many years i play i understand that for me only fps,stealth,adventures,fight em up 2d scrolling,metroidvania indie,platform genre make me happy especially if they have good storytelling or gameplay\physics.
i avoid now vice versa "horror\zombie" (the only exception was dying light that i like so much),jrpg,simulation (the only exception is elite\elite dangerous\astroneer that i like but i don't like all others space games and if i must to be honest all others space games always look to me as a bad copy of elite\elite dangerous),strategy,sports,racing etc. , so if before i buy all games new now instead i buy only games that is my taste.
most of time i avoid also games with Anime\Hentay\Cartoon\Movie\Visual novel\Robots because most of time i don't like them, only if and when a game like that get vote 9\10 from more reviews and my friends agree too then i get it.
i also learn after many years to not buy videogames from big famous publishers at release date because most of time they is not patched,incomplete (not include dlcs,miss campaign missions etc.) and selled at expensive prices,and i notice then when i buy games like this after i'm very sad.
Vice versa if i wait 1 or 2 year after the release and i buy the game for 7 euro with all the dlc's,mission and game patched etc. then i'm happy much.
But i must say also that if now my buy\games is nearly perfect sadly this was not for 15 years before... because for 15 years i waste so much my money in buy wrong games and also in wrong deal.

p.s. premise: i not say that games or genre i don't like is bad,i just say is not for me not my taste,i understand and agree who like it and buy it.

I have nearly 1.000 games on my wishlist, which is clearly on the high side in comparison with the average Steam/SG user, but I am genuinely interested in playing or trying most of them at some point. Gaming is a serious hobby of mine and I have a broad taste in games, and while only the top 100-150 are ranked in order of priority, I have no urge to keep it smaller, just not looking to significantly expand it until it's seriously thinned down by buying the games or acquiring them through other means, not pure removal.

It's actually quite helpful to have a large wishlist, keeping up with sales for instance. It also helps a lot on places liker Barter and Steamtrades, by setting my options to "wihslisted games only", the number of bad offers is reduced considerably, and when you have a large pool of games with different value and tiers on your wishlist, it's not too hard to find matches and receive/make offers.

Now there's a small portion of games that are there just for the sake of collecting, these are very low priority and make less than 5 % ('just an approximate guess, it might be slightly more or slightly less) of my wishlist overall, such games include :

-Classics that didn't age very well from a technical standpoint (ex. : The Tomb Raider games from the PS1 era), but it would be 'nice' to own the whole series or merely because they deserve to be in my library.

-Games with little/no replayability that I played and finished already, but I don't own them on Steam, either because :

• I own a copy on a competing platform or a retail/physical version of the game ;
• I pirated the game in the past, before I had a Steam/GOG account, in such case, I feel the developer/publisher deserve to be supported and compensated for their efforts, even if I am no longer interested in playing the game, gifting copies of the said game(s) is a good option as well.

It's funny; I get quite happy from buying (or winning) a game I am interested in. But then there's often a reason not to play it immediately and the game goes on the pile.

Then (years) later I discover the game and get happy all over again. And that's without even playing it.

Interestingly the Ryse is on my wishlist and I am genuinely interester about that. I could probably trim some fat from my wishlist. Thank you BauerBoy :)

Thank you :)
Bump.

bumpy cheers

I reduce my wishlist by buying stuff ;)

BUMP

Thanks for a nice little train!

And yes, I always feel like I need to complete the story of any game with a plot. At that point the game is "done." I will 100% a game if it's really entertaining and deserves replay (and getting 100% is possible without dedicating thousands of hours of my life to the game :D ).

I'd be happier if I didn't have to work so many hours so that I actually had more time to play games...I'd feel less guilty about my backlog then. 😅(◑‿◐)

Bump

... the word "enough"

ty

no, because the secret of happiness is to add things to a list

Bump!
