>spending 500 hours on nu-game shit

I see you're mentally ill, I'm sorry

>>5186564
1. You're asserting that longer=better which is not always the case. It rarely is actually.

2. This doesn't mean jack shit if we don't know how many games (or downloaded ROMs/isos) you have in your backlog per system.

>>5186564
86 hours for the N64 library... What? I don't think you know what you're doing.

>>5186659
Replaying Mario 64 autistically for two decades doesn’t mean shit.

>>5186564
Backlog doesn't mean "games I already played" by the way.

I hope that NES backlog is short because you've already played most of the games. Please post how many games are in each category.

>>5186659

N64 is pretty shitty in quantity of games. It's not Dreamcast, but it's pretty close.

I would think this only counts exclusive games.

>>5186564
>roughly 6200 hours solely in Playstation consoles
>playing two hours a day it would take nearly ten years to get through just the Playstation backlog
Anon, I don't think you're going to make it

>>5186606
PS1
>>5186710
It's games I either haven't played, never beat as a kid because I had rented it, or games I haven't played in 20 years so I want to play them again all the way through, one time as an adult.
>>5186746
NES games themselves are all super short.
>>5186774
Who the fuck only plays 2 hours a day? Besides, I'm retired at 28 years old, I have all the fucking time in the world.

>backlog
the idea of this makes me cringe. I too have many games I've never beaten, some I haven't even tried yet, but I just play the games I want, whenever I feel like it. I don't feel bad for replaying a game I've already played to death if I'm having fun. Playing video games isn't a job, nor an accomplishment.

>>5186606
PS2 part 1
>>5186774
Also in bound to not like a bunch of them, so I'll try them and delete them if I don't like them. I just have them downloaded for when I do want to try them, in case piracy becomes too hard in 20 years.

>>5186606
PS2 part 2
>>5186897
OK? Do you know backlog means? None of the random shit you had rattled off is relevant. I play what I want too dumb ass, I just keep track of all the options, mostly out of curiosity.

>>5186893
>Who the fuck only plays 2 hours a day?
>sleep 7 hours

>round up to 1 hour for commute total
>1 hour to cook and eat dinner
>1 hour total for showering,shitting pissing, fapping
>1 hour walking dog
>1 hour for miscellaneous errands
>1 hour exercising
That leaves about 2-3 hours for gaming

>>5186606
PS3 part 1.
>>5186902
>>5186893
Forgot to mention the ones where the time is black are ones in not going to play, I just put them there to remind myself that they're shit and I shouldn't download them. That way I don't think I forgot them or something several years from now.

>>5186903
>work 9 hours, including lunch break
I'm retired. Had a payed lunch when I did work, and didn't work 7 days a week.
>round up to 1 hour for commute total
My job was 15 minutes away because I made sure to live close to work. Again, don't have one now.
>1 hour to cook and eat dinner
Cooking takes me like 15 minutes.
>1 hour total for showering,shitting pissing, fapping
>1 hour walking dog
I have a cat.
>1 hour for miscellaneous errands
>1 hour exercising
That leaves a shit ton of time for gaming.

>>5186606

>>5186606

>>5186746
The only NES games I like are action platform, platform, or puzzle.

>>5186606
SNES

>>5186606
N64
>>5186748
This counts games I'll play on that platform, regardless of whatever else they're on.
>>5186659
I've already beaten ocarina, major, and M64. After that, this is pretty much it. DK64, Kirby64, Glover, and so on are all complete fucking trash.

>>5186606
GameCube. I prefer most multi plats on GameCube because of how great dolphin runs.

>>5186606
Wii & Wii U

>>5186606
GBA. I beat a lot of these as a kid but wasn't to play them again once through as an adult.

Graph of genres, just in case some dip shit wants to say "hurt durr it's all JRPGs"

>>5186903
>work 9 hours
The fuck?

>>5187063
8 hour work day, 1 hour for lunch. What is there to misunderstand?

Fuck the next gen of consoles.

AI hasn't advanced since PS2, physics haven't advanced since PS3, no new storage format, no new tech (like online or Bluetooth), the RAM boost from PS3 to 4 was enough to display as many objects as you'll ever need, etc…

There's nothing to do but small graphics improvements 99% of people won't give a single fuck about due to DIMINISHING RETURNS. I give zero shits about games looking better than they do now.

What I do care about is the development costs spiking AGAIN while decimating the install base, making it so that awesome niche games don't get made until the install base builds back up again over 10 years. Yay! Less games and less risk taking for another 10 years! Oh, and 300 gb game installs on a 1 TB hard drive.

>>5186564

I miss when games were just games, and they weren't ashamed of it. Why does Mario collect coins? BECAUSE ITS A FUCKING VIDEO GAME. If board games all tried to become movie simulators, people would be "nostalgic" for scrabble and monopoly.

Idiot AAA devs don't understand that classics like Megaman, Castlevania, Sonic, Metroid, Zelda, and so on, are not "inferior relics of their time" but fun games with their own unique rules and mechanics that their modern "updates" completely lack. When they say this kind of shit is obvious that they're not real gamers, just losers that couldn't make it in the film industry.

Imagine if they stopped making ovens, toaster ovens, and grills the second the microwave came out. That's how fucking stupid mainstream video game publishers are.

>>5186564

>>5186893

>>5187186
Yup. It's a Zelda clone. "Adventure" is a stupid fucking label when that also includes broken sword and line 50 other completely different kinds of game.

>>5187171
Nah. It was pretty easy.

>>5187140
This pasta tastes like shit.

I made the list for myself, just with notes about completion rate (beaten/failed, difficulty, current progress, etc.)

categorizing your collection by hours to beat seems unneeded and a bit stressful.
honestly i just grab complete romsets now and play whenever, but i do add the game to a "beat" list (without logging time)

>>5187307
Complete romsets are 99.99% garbage.

>>5186893
How are you retiring at 28?
I'm unemployed, and jealous.

>>5187325
Worked in manufacturing, lived like I was still poor despite having income of a middle class middle aged guy, dumped all my money into low cost index funds with Vanguard and bought rental properties in middle to upper middle class neighborhoods. I pirate everything and drive a V6 dodge charger that I bought used 7 years ago for $12,000. I live in one my apartments and basically my neighbors pay my bills.

>>5187325
>>5187325
1.)Get a mediocre middle class job
2.)Continue to live like a broke college kid despite being able to afford all kinds of dumb bullshit
3.)Pirate everything
4.)Dump the rest of your money into VTSAX and rental properties in middle and upper middle class neighborhoods
5.)Live in one of your apartments while you're neighbors pay your bills

>>5187343
You're only retired as long as you have tenants for all of your rentals. If something drives them away, then you've only got your stocks.

>>5187314
It’s the easiest way to always have what you want though

>>5187559
Do not engage with that shitposting retard. I'm a few years his senior, I assure you that's not how life works. Does it really have to be a tripfag before you fags get it? Nothing good will come from listening to bs like that.

>>5187673
>>5187559
LOL are you fucking kidding me? My properties, which are all in nice neighborhoods, could be at 50% vacancy and id still be fine. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. And yes, the stock is enough for me to live off, just not extravagantly. The rentals are what allows me to do fun shit.

>>5187673
>>5187559
Also, think about this: If the sky falls, all of my properties explode and the insurance company goes bankrupt, and all my stocks tank forever... Then the WORST day of my ENTIRE fucking life... Is what everyone else experiences every single Monday; the day I go back to work.

>>5187171
Why do you even give a shit what people spend their time on?

>>5186659
N64 only has like 20 good games

>>5187769

I don't, but if you share your stupid shit with the internet don't get surprised when the internet calls you stupid.

>>5186931

Why isn't Solstice on the NES list? I must assume you've already beat it?

>>5187343
I hate you because I want to be like you.

>>5186897
wait until you're a boomer with kids and you have 2 free hours a night and think about dying all the time. you get real systemic about that stuff.

>>5188056
>>5188056
Do it. It's super easy and replicable. Just get these books used on Amazon and read them:

The Simple Path To Wealth - this one explains in great detail why using low cost index funds, such as VTSAX, is a fool proof strategy despite market crashes and so on, and why day trading is for morons.

Early Retirement Extreme - This one is all about how people waste all their time and money on retarded shit and it didn't take as much money to retire or live as people think. Now I'm not even 1/3 as extreme as the author but there's lots of actionable ideas and great philosophy in the book.

Rich Dad Poor Dad or The Richest Man In Babylon - these two are made for people with low financial sense. Read these if you have any credit card debt or always feel like you're broke.

The E Myth - If you want to do anything entrepreneurial on your path to retirement read this book or you WILL fail.

The Millionaire Next Door - this one is a bunch of data from guys who researched millionaires for a marketing company. The marketing company was very angry to learn that millionaires are very frugal and tough to sell shit too. Some quick facts : 80% of American millionaires acquired their wealth in 1 generation from mundane businesses like real estate, tow truck company, plumbing company, etc... They drive used American cars and live in middle class neighborhoods where they usually have 8 times the wealth of their next door neighbors, and most of their neighbors have no idea.

Read these, get a completely mediocre middle class job (I worked in machining, never finished my engineering degree) and early retirement becomes a breeze.

>>5188121
Kids aren't a big deal. Every guy I know who says this has a wife who's a completely useless bitch and like a onions boy he puts up with her being lazy as fuck.

Some tips:
You can hire a house cleaner for nothing. Between dusting, mopping, sweeping, dishes, and laundry, why waste up to 2 hours a week doing something you can pay a highschool dropout or Mexican to do for you? Even if they charge $15/hr where you live (only $10 in Ohio) it makes more sense for you to work 2 hours of overtime or something while you pay them to do dumb shit for you. Even if you make the same as what they're charging, the time and a half will make it so you got the same amount of work done, but actually made money in the process. Thus doing things yourself doesn't actually save money unless your time is worth less than everyone else's.

Same goes for cooking. You can hire a broke ass culinary arts student from your local college to make food thats way better than anything you can make for pretty cheap. Have them make a giant amount and keep a bunch in the fridge. Use your time to make more money than they make, or play some fucking video games.

Also pros are better than you at what they do and they do it faster. So what cost more, the 1 hour it takes a mechanic to fix your car, or the 4 hours it takes you to do the same job? Even if he makes twice as much as you, doing it yourself costs more than paying him to do it while you work.

Apply these time management concepts to your life, and unless you're a single dad with 6 kids, or an unemployed (not retired) loser, you'll suddenly find that you're not stressed out anymore and have plenty of time in your day.

>>5186565
>NES
>170 hours
Dragon Warrior 1, 2, 3 and 4 combined should already take like 120 hours.
Ultima and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are also long games.

>>5188238
And none of them are good.

>>5187996
Isn't that the most frustrating puzzle platformer ever made?

>GoW, COD,Atelier , Transformers and Battlefield games
Jesus Christ.

What a fucking mess, OP. Why would ou waste tie like that? Why label and count games by hours instead of liking them or not? I don't really see a point to this gigantic mess. Seriously, why play a fighting game 5 hours? What's the point? May as well not play it. Or how about replaying a game you liked? Why not count that or the possibility of that happening? I know you're trying to organize your backlog but this method is a shitty clusterfuck of a mess.

>>5186902
>Rogue Galaxy

No way.

>Growlanser games

>Shining Tears
>no time
>lel Zelda
It's an ARPG. 15 to 20 hours top, iirc.

>>5186907
>Arcana Heart 3
>5 hours
For what? It doesn't even have a "story" per se, just some blabs before battle and a ending scene. Otherwise you didn't even scratch the surface.

>Atelier
>anything below 30 to 40 hours
kek

>Disgaea 4
>Disgaea D2
If you're going for the story only, 20 to 25 hours is enough, otherwise 100hours+ for all the content.

>>5186971
>Shining Soul 2
>10 hours
>Zelda
ARPG. 20 hours. over 40 if you're going for the advance/hard mode.

And I give up on the rest, just some pointers for you, OP.

>>5188319
I figured I'd give the story modes a chance. If I don't like them I'll delete them. Never played any cod.

Classic God of War games are fun. Go back to /v/ with your bandwagon bullshit. Nu God of War is completely irrelevant to the first 6.

>>5188356
I included the games I plan to replay. The fighting games are based on the single player content.

The reason is because I like to knock out the shortest shit first, usually. Depends on my mood.

>>5188360
When I play JRPGS I use avoid encounter cheat codes because grinding is fucking retarded and most JRPGs are piss easy. Try it sometime. If I'm under leveled I'll turn the encounters back on for a little while then turn them back off again. I usually turn encounters on when I first enter a new area just to check out the kinds of enemies there then turn them back off. Also disgaea's mountain of post game content is trash. I beat 1 and 3 and don't enjoy anything after the story. Grinding is for NPCs and autists. So since I play this way I used how long to beats "rushed" times, even though I don't rush, I play normally but with the gelding cut out.

>>5188389
Why even play then? Just why? I'll never understand faggots like you. By the way, hope you die a painful, slow death, OP.

>I beat 1 and 3 and don't enjoy anything after the story.
But you for some reason "enjoy" those shit stories and cheap writing? The only valuable thing Disgaea has going for it is the fun grind. Even the music isn't that great.

>>5188502
>>5188502
1 has a pretty enjoyable story and some good comedy. 3 wasnt that great, probably why I haven't summoned the well to play the others even though I hear they're better than 3.

The story battles have the most thought put into them. A lot of them are like puzzles where the devs actually put thought into what unit went where. Everything else is just randomly generated trash. I hate procedurally generated content, wide as the ocean deep as a puddle. Only 2 digit IQ autists would ever call grinding fun. Literally just get a fucking job if you like working. Hand crafted maps and hand crafted battles, that's where it's at.

With other JRPGs the only fun is the story, exploring, and boss fights. Fighting the same random encounters over and over that require zero thought at all is not fun if you have a 3 digit IQ. Further more, if you're under leveled from having not killed a million slimes, the boss fights turn into more challenging puzzles. It's the best way to play.

I'm going to be that guy and point out that hltb.com can be horribly inaccurate

>>5188551
Better than nothing. And honestly I'll bet 99% of the time the people who dispute the times are either A.)dumb asses that think the 3000 hours they spent playing multiplayer counts (it doesn't) or B.)Some shitter that took twice as long to beat it as everyone else and is in denial about being a shitter.

I know it's not perfect but it's good enough. There's also a more detailed breakdown of you actually click on a game.

>>5188251

Solstice isn't that hard at all, but it is a puzzle platformer and it is quite fun.

>>5188705
I'll check it out.

>>5188541
>The story battles have the most thought put into them
You clearly haven't played the post content.

>>5189693
Some. There's post content that is designed just like the story content, but not the dumb fucking item worlds and all Thad randomly generated bullshit. I do the post game content that doesn't require 100 hours of grinding to get to.
