Gaming Resolutions for 2016

[bikingjahuty]

What are your video game related New Year resolutions for 2016? These can involve collecting, playing, achievements, or any other goal that you might have. Here are mine:


- Purchase a PS4: I've wanted one of these things pretty bad since around E3 this last year now that a good amount of great games have been either released or announced for the console.


- Play at least 50-games in by backlog before year's end.


- Continue to fine tune my collection: I've actually been selling parts of my collection off that don't mean as much to me in order to make way/afford other things that I want way more.

Short and sweet:

1. Buy more games.

2. Play more games.

Short and sweet:

1. Buy more games.

2. Play more games.

Pretty much the same for me!

Maybe buy less video games, play more video games.

Also, buy a capture card and start streaming.

[kashell]

1. Cut down on the backlog

2. Not care as much about shiny CEs/LEs unless it's for a favorite franchise

3. Continue to be fabulous and glamorous

EDIT: I'm going to add one more.

4. Play one of my import titles without the use of a guide. I'm going to see how much Japanese I have truly learned.

1. reduce my backlog of games.

2. come up with a good way of displaying what games I have played to the end/credits to help me know which games to play next. (maybe export my list to an excel spreadsheet and randomly assign numbers to order which I play first. I have difficulty deciding what I want to play.)

3. create a ranking system for games that I have either played to completion or just played (even if its just great/good/bad/horrible rankings)

4. Get my Last Guardian collectors edition that WILL come out in 2016

5. Get a playstation VR when it comes out.

6. buy less videogames. (I tend to buy games to buy them. I want to buy meaningful/rare games instead)

7. I feel i'm at the point where I need to invest in a disc buffer.

8. Get my Last Guardian collectors edition that WILL come out in 2016

9. Add more fun simple math to the forums to help illustrate/prove my point.

10. Get my Last Guardian collectors edition that WILL come out in 2016

11. beat at least 1 NES hard game

12. get a GD 3rd book case so I can stop doubling up games on my shelves (display them all 1 deep not 2)

13. come up with a viable option for displaying my handheld collection. (any input would be appreciated)

1. Actual Video editing software. in other words get something that isn't Windowa Movie Maker (before someone says it, no I'm not getting a Mac)

2. Build shelves not just buy them.

3. Play games.

4. Kick ass and chew gum.

[aliensstudios]

1. Sell what I don't need/play
2. Buy more games I actually want to play
3. Get cart sleeves for all of my NES/SNES/N64 and Genesis games
4. Stop impulsively buying things I don't need
5. Beat all the games on my backlog
6. Make time to make more videos on YouTube

And myself as well!

My main goal is to be more active! This year involved buying and fixing a house, getting married, etc. Not a lot of time to play or collect. I missed a lot of goals last year. That will change this year.

Blizzard Goals
1) Level a Demon Hunter to Max.
2) Play and beat Diablo III Campaign
3) Learn how to play a Heroes of the Storm character
4) Build and learn a hearthstone deck
5) Max level Starcraft 2 co-op characters (all of them)

Playing goals
1) Beat Halo
2) Replay and really explore Shenmue 1 (shenmue 2 next year in preparation for shenmue 3)
3) Achievement hunt vvvvvv and plants vs zombies

SEGA Collecting goals:
1) This will be an 8-bit year. Get farther on SG-1000, SMS, and Game Gear complete sets. No particular goal or number. SMS is close. Game Gear is half way and cheap. SG-1000 is slow going. Buying those as I get to them in chronology series.

AGES of SEGA Goals:
1) 6 videos minimum. No excuses this year.
2) Work on SG-1000 site.
3) Contribute of SegaNerds more and be more active on vgcollect.

I did pretty good on my 2015 resolution, which was to not buy any games until I put a considerable debt in the backlog. I only bought three games this year. I'll probably just stick with that one. I was buying way too much stuff before.

[fighterpilot562]

Xbox One
3DS XL (new)
build a 2nd gaming shelf.
More games on all platforms
Maybe - buy a woody atari

[telly]

My resolutions!

1. Purchase and start collecting for the retro cartridge-based consoles (SNES, Genesis, etc.)
2. Keep a high ratio of my owned games beaten (currently at around 73%)
3. Purchase an Ace Combat 5 Flightstick
4. Try out as many different franchises as possible (This year I count 11 solid franchises that I played a game from for the first time)
5. Keep talking to all you cool cats 

[kingrat101]

I'm hoping to...
1-Beat more games
2-More physical PC games
3-Maybe buy an Oculus
4-Patiently wait for the new Doom haha

I'm going to create some digital art featuring all of the video game characters that I've come to know and love.  I might need some help from you guys for this one, for critique and verification.
