2018 Gaming Goals

General Chat


maybe your first goal should be to turn your TV right side up. Unless you play while laying on the floor, of course, then it would make sense.

Everyone's trying to raise their completion. My goal is to just finally try and play all these freaking games I keep acquiring. I'm going to try to just let my completion percentage go and play.

Much like our current sociopolitical climate: This will be the year of THE PURGE. I have created a stack of 12 physical games that I own that I will complete, all of which I have already started. Gives me 1 a month. Beyond that, the hope really is to clear out 24 physical titles. I need to thin out the hoard.

I am in the same boat, huge digital (thanks GWG) and physical backlog....
Goals:
15K+ in a week
100k in a year (or as close as I can)
300 badges (I can cross this of my list today)
I'm sad I didn't make the goal list this year....

I'm going to try to play less this year, not going to pretend like I'm going away for the year though.

400,000 Gamerscore (an increase of 163,190)
400 Completions (Incl DLC) (an increase of 167)
3,000 Achievements Unlocked in 2018
Start Half of the games in my backlog as of 1/1/18 (186 games, backlog was 372)

Also going for the 15K Week Badge and the Challenge... What Challenge badge either in February or May... Original plan was May but my wife may be out of town in early February so why wait?!? Have over 60K in easy games that I can start and complete in about 7-10 days time.

I played the 360 version up until an achievement glitched on me (specifically when you choose a side and there is an achievement for each, I got neither).. So yeah, fired it up with remastered X1 version so I'll just start over.

I have sorely been most sporadic as of late but I had a heck of a last few months to the year and now with my gaming goals I think I may need the help sometimes, so expect a friend request on Live!
