Fakey's 3rd 2016 "To Play" List

by fakekisser (Premium member)

Current Rules for my "To Play" lists in 2016:

  1. I can't have more than 6 games (or DLC) on my "To Play" list at any given time.
  2. Only one of those games can be over ~25 hours long (to complete - based off HLTB)
  3. One other game can be over 8 hours long.
  4. The other 4 games (or pieces of DLC) must be approximately 8 hours or less to complete.
  5. I cannot start a new list until all the games have been completed, except for the game over 25 hours which can (and often will) carry over to a new list. However, I can't add a new game over 20 hours until the one I'm playing has been completed.

Showing 1-6 of 6 items

Firewatch

Firewatch

This is a perfect example of a game I would have played day-one, if I hadn't been doing these lists. However, now that I'm finally able to start a new list, I feel really good about continuing with my plan for these lists.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

This is only for the Bright Lord DLC.

Oxenfree

Oxenfree

I'm going into this one hopeful that I'll love it but slightly worried about not liking the teen nature of the game.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

Rise of the Tomb Raider

This is only for the Baba Yaga DLC.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Before starting this list, I decided to spend a lot of time back in this game. I still didn't finish it (just started Act III), but I'm glad that I did go back to this game instead of just starting the other games on this list first. I plan on finishing this game after completing the other games on this specific list.

The Witness

The Witness

I also wanted to play this game day-one, but I held off, as I really wanted to be able to dedicate myself to it. Also, I slightly modified the rules of these lists in order to get this game on as my "medium-length" game. I know this game can take 40+ hours to 100%, and while I may do that, eventually, the spirit of these lists is to keep myself to only one giant open-world/RPG at a time. Games like The Witness are much more contained, even when they take more than 20-25 hours to 100%.
