2024 Gaming/Collecting Goals
telekill:
I'm afraid my days of actually collecting are at minimum on hold, if not over. Sure, there are a couple of things I would love to own, but I'm not willing to fork out $1000+ for them. For now, I'll be looking forward to any retro collections from the 90's. Anticipating the first three Tomb Raider games releasing in Feb with a slight graphical overhaul.
Anyone know why Capcom hasn't made a Resident Evil collection of the PS1 games? Sure, they remade them, but the originals could be released and I think, well received.
kamikazekeeg:
I've narrowed my collecting habits to be pretty minimal, this year I mostly just picked up some TMNT/Rampage games, the older ones, as I want to have a collection of that sorta stuff rather than a big broad section, though I am gonna try and pick up relatively cheap boxed N64 games, stuff that aren't a big deal like sports games and such, in the hopes of growing a small N64 collection. Also need to get boxes for my Banjo-Kazooie, Tooie, and Diddy Kong Racing.
Not that I can get lots, I'm trying to get a brand new PC next year also, so that's 1500 to 2000 right there. Gotten tired of running games at low/medium and want something meaty for the first time in a long while lol

My only guess is because they're still making a lot of money on selling them individually through various online stores like PSN and XBL. I would absolutely die if they re-released 1-3 + CV in a single package with a slight graphical overhaul and in HD.
alligo:
I would like to finally succeed in reducing my backlog and still enjoy playing as much.
I don't really collect so nothing on that side.
ignition365:
1. Stay under 8,200 games. - I'm at 8,165, so that really gives me no room to work with, but maybe this goal can convince me to sell stuff?
2. Finish Sonic franchise run. - I still need to get Sonic Superstars, but I'm sure I'll get it by the end of next year.
3. Beat 104 games. -
4. Finish Armored Core franchise run. - I really want to play the new one, but I refuse until I do the franchise
5. Make progress on Assassin's Creed franchise run. -
6. Make progress on Ace Combat franchise run. - This is an AC year I guess
7. Hit top .5% softcore on Retro Achievements. - *gasp* I was under 500 on the ranks, I'm 501 right now. At least my goal wasn't top 500.
8. Break 250,000 gamerscore on Xbox. - This one might actually be a toughy, I'm at 230,000 right now, but I've been consistently earning over 2k per month, so we'll see.
9. Hit star level 365 on PSN. - Currently 356. Should be reasonable?
10. Succeed in every season on Playtracker.
11. End the year with a positive progress index on Backloggery
12. Reinventory accessible games. - This is a toughy since most of my stuff is boxed up, but the systems boxed up, I haven't bought new games, so this is a pretty reasonable goal that needs doing
13. Beat a game from every year from year x to 2024. - I didn't actually mark this as a goal this last year, I'm actually 6 games off from the goal and I'm trying to make myself work on it. I put x because I don't really pick a year from the get go, I pick the year based on whatever the oldest game I play happens to be.
Recap of goals from last year. Will drop in goals for this year.

1. Stay under 8,200 games. - Honestly, if GS/Walmart/etc keeps clearancing stuff, I'll fail so hard.
- Success - No chance I'm gonna break 8,200 by the end of the year, so I'm calling this a success.
2. Finish Sonic franchise run.
- Failed - I made some progress to the point I only had 1 game left (Sonic Frontiers), but then a new game came out (Don't own it yet) and I decided to retroactively add a bunch of alternate versions of games I've already beaten to the list, so not gonna happen, but real close.
3. Beat 104 games.
- Success - I'm past 110 games beat so far, so well past succeeded.
4. Start streaming again.
- Failed - I haven't done it yet. I've been streaming to discord. I streamed the majority of my playthrough of Lies of P to Discord (which isn't recorded), but it doesn't count. Streaming really does sully my experience because I feel like I can't play unless I can dedicate at least 30 minutes, which means I wind up not playing at all sometimes. Lies of P would've been good to stream though.
5. Start Armored Core franchise run.
- Success - Technically, success, because I did start, but once I hit the PS2 games I ran into problems with controls/emulators. I really want to remap controls, but I can't get any emulator to actually play properly
6. Take new game room pics
- Success - I'm gonna call this a success, even if for semi-technical reasons. I merged my game room with my office, so fewer games, but I took pictures once I was done moving games around.
7. Get into the top 1% (softcore) on RetroAchievements (Currently sitting at top 1.23%) - The goal post here keeps sliding, because I hit top 500 already and now I'm pretty close to top 1% will probably hit it in the next couple of days.
- Success - Sitting at 0.88% so I'm good with this. Next year I think the goal is going to be 0.5%
8. Break 100,000 on Xbox 360 gamerscore (Excludes Xbox One)
- Success
9. End the year with a positive progress index on Backloggery
- Success - Unless fuckery goes on that I'm not aware of, I'm at positive 17 so pretty unlikely that I'll fuck that up with 6 days left in the year.
