We are just a few days away from 2021. Does anyone else have any gaming goals for the year and if not what about everyones most anticipated games of the year?
Personally, I hope to break 1 million gamerscore next year. I have about 2500 games owned just on xb1 so it should be easy, especially considering how many easy games come out on a weekly basis nowadays and I buy most of them if the price is low enough. I just started earning achievements again at the start of March of this year and I hadn't attained much prior for several years. GTN has helped reignite my interest in gamerscore and achievements. I'm nearing almost 270 thousand gamerscore for this year since March and I think I can do much better next year. I'll post some games I'm looking forward to as well in a bit.

The last few years have been about 40+ of us, with growth each year. We obviously cancelled 2020, but, not sure what 2021 looks like, yet.

I'm looking forward to hopefully upgrading to the Xbox Series X in 2021 so that's my only gaming goal for now. Perhaps I can go for another 100 completions next year or crank out another 100K Gamerscore but I doubt I'll be able to duplicate my numbers from this year.

Desktop obliterates it. I need to see how the exclusives are further down the road as there aren't any yet....

One of my biggest and elusive goals is to spend a significant amount of time with high quality games. I have on my plate for starters Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Quantum Break, Plague Tale: Innocence, and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Can I make it through these games while so many other gamers beat me to the 1 million gamerscore milestone? I sure hope so.

My second goal is to find a 24-hour time slot in which to beat my own unofficial world record for most gamerscore in 24 hours. This time around I would like to surpass 120,000 gamerscore in a single day. I still have several months of preparation to set it up.

I'm just going through and popping a few achievements on games I haven't tried yet and I still have several hundred to try out, lol. Its been fun hopping from game to game and I'm getting some achievements and gamerscore in the process.

My primary gaming goal for 2021 is to complete the Assassin's Creed Series. I'm currently up to Origins, so I'm close, relatively speaking.

I completed the first one years ago but have all the ones on xbox one to do, I know it's going to be a long journey, but the games are good, so I'm looking forward to getting back to it sometime soon.

I'm trying to get at least one achievement or more in every game I own as well, so it's probably going to lower my percentage even more 😆
