Backlog by the Month Challenge 2022 (Sign-Ups Open!)


Recommended Posts

I’ll add my own backlog list shortly.

 

I was thinking of adding points to any game completed throughout the year that’s not on your backlog list. Maybe it’d add 0.1 points to your total. What do people think?

 

That should stop people from going into the negative margin at the end of the year from incomplete games.

 

Edit: Added my list of games.

Yes, I'm here for this! Just to space out some of my old games, and not feel like I have to accomplish everything as quickly as possible.

 

01. Doom 2016 (< Currently Playing and aiming for Jan Platinum)

02. Wolfenstein: The Old Blood

03. Persona 5 Royal

04. TitanFall 2

05. Watch Dogs 2

06. Hitman

07. Mafia III

08. Horizon Zero Dawn

09. Ratchet & Clank

Added! Thanks for joining! 
 

edit: added a new rule that says you cannot fall below zero points. There is no negative scoring. Also, lowered the point loss for not completing a game in a month from 1.5 to just 1 point.

 

in the event of a tie, the person who earned the points first is ahead in the leaderboards.

Might be interested in joining, assuming this event gains enough traction for it to be worthwhile for you. Am I correct to read that it's okay if I happen complete them faster than 1 per month? I'd probably select only about 13 games to keep it reasonable, but I doubt they'll last me the entire year.

Yeah, you can select and complete as many as you want. :)

If you complete over one game a month from your list they’re worth .5 points. Any game not on your list that you complete is worth .1 points too! 
 

You can also add or remove games twice per year in April and August. 
 

I’ll probably keep this open for a few months to see if enough people are interested in an event like this.

I think I'd like to give this a go lol. It seems like it could be a really fun challenge especially if it starts to gain a lot of traction in the community. I'll have to think of a list for a bit though, not sure what all I would like to try to put on a list for the year 

 

 

 

I thought this would be a good way for people to clear out their backlogs without feeling rushed to complete games. It'd be awesome if you could join! You can make changes to your game list every four months. I made a list of the backlog games on my profile and a few that I am definitely starting soon. But even if you complete a game that's not on your list, you still get a small amount of points.
