XboxEra's 2024 Backlog Challenge |OT| Surely this is the year?

I bought it back then when it launched on switch. Decided to play it there because I like to play games with gamepad and for some reason D3 doesnt have compatibility with one. Diablo 2 R and Diablo 4 both support gamepad.

Okay, gotcha. Hope you enjoy Diablo 3.

Awesome! I find this challenge often gives me that last push needed to play more of those games I’ve always intended to play but never get around to.

Welcome aboard!

Free period (15-31 jan) has ended and from now on purchases and completions will count!

Anyone is welcome to join the challenge still, no cut-off date like that so jump in!

Good thing I was busy buying steam games BEFORE I read this message.

I would also like to request a waiver till tomorrow. I have not had a chance to comb through the xbox countdown sale yet.

Sure, end of Xbox sale sounds like a good starting point!

Dammit!! I just dicovered Dead by Daylight on gamepass and I’m hooked! (e.e)

Do buying character DLC count as a -1? Because I think I have bought half the killers in the game :sweat_smile:

I have no experience with that game, but we usually only count meaty, proper DLC’s and even then it’s only ± 0.5 points each. Character DLC doesn’t sound very substantial?

I wouldn’t miss it. This little competition is a huge motivator to get me playing games I should have played years ago (when I bought them). Ha.

Looking forward to another year of fun.

Ok! :sunny:

But I ended up buying the game (GOF BLESS gamepass discounts!) because I see myself playing a lot if it in the future soooooo…

-1 Dead by daylight e.e

Alright, I’m all clear. Combed through all the various platform sales and didn’t mind much of anything that tickled my fancy.

Nice. I’m done as well. Decent haul this year during the free period, not as many as last time though which is good.

My new additions to the backlog:

  • Assassin’s Creed: Mirage
  • Hogwart’s Legacy
  • Spider-Man 2
  • Diablo IV
  • Dead Island 2
  • Baldur’s Gate 3
  • The Crew Motorfest
  • Age of Empires 2 + 3 DLC
  • CP 2077: Phantom Liberty
  • Anthem
  • LEGO Builder’s Journey

Funniest addition is Anthem, it finally reached a price point I couldn’t resist at $1 …

I bought a lot of stuff over the course of the fall. I snagged a couple things like Dead Island 2, Alan Wake 2, Spiderman 2, Mario Wonder, etc

I picked up a few of those also. Though I pre-ordered the baldurs gate physical edition so who knows when that will come.

+1 - Super Mario Bros Wonder

Didn’t realize how close to the end I was. What a wonderful game. Even the end credits are whimsical.

Gonna skip this year but I’ll update here when I score a game off my backlog, if that’s all good?

I mean, if you are going to report your completions anyway, that is already like 75% participation.

Im participating knowing full well that around August/September…possibly sooner, I’m going to drive this train right off a cliff.

True man, very true. Screw it! One ticket for the train please.
