Gaming goals for 2024?

[DizzyDavidson]

2023 was a mess due to outside factors but hoping to make 2024 better.

 

First…

 

- Play new PS+ Essential titles given each month that I’m interested in. I’ve been neglecting these games, just chucking them in my backlog.

 

If no PS+ games interest me for the month…

- Focus on PS3 backlog, hopefully play Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World

- Play the games I get/got for X-Mas/B-day

- Play some of my games with online trophies (only got a handful on PS4)

 

[Ssharif0402]

- Platinum Final Fantasy VII Remake before Rebirth comes out

- Reach 65% completion rate (52% now)

- Reach 64 platinum trophies (38 now)

[Hitman_Spinksy1]

To get over 55% completion and finally break the 40 plats in a year wall I have 

[Razzee-P]

Since I bought the PS5 during the Black Friday, and the system has a miserable one year worth of warranty, I'll be playing mainly on it.

 

I expect to finish at least the games that have or will have a PS5 upgrade available, such as Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us 2, Gran Turismo 7 etc.

 

Also, I'm looking for a M.2 SSD for the PS5. It is quite possible that the console will brick if the internal SSD dies, so a M.2 may extend its lifespan.

Sheesh to FINALLY knockout the following plats:

 

The Legend of Dragoon

WarHammer 40k Space Marine (PS3)

Binary Domain (PS3) 

Odin Sphere (PS3)

R6 Seige

NFS Heat

Ghosts of Tsushima

RE3: Remake

RE2: Remake

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands

Sekiro

Nioh

Driveclub

 

And a few more of my PS3 backlog  (But once Dragon's Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin drop, it's game over 😂)

I hear ya!

 

As for mine, still trying to decide. Will share soon.

No real goals as such, but I’d like to clean up at least 5 out of the current incomplete games on my profile. Who knows, maybe this is the year I finally finish Mass Effect 2 - It’s been sitting at 18% since 2012! 

[darkrequiem7]

The same think I do every year, Pinky. Play what I want when I want.

 

Heck, I booted up Hitman 3 and started playing some Hitman 3 again a couple days ago for the fun of it.

[randotrophy]

Same goal as this year trying to get at least one platinum a month and hopefully don't rely on some easy plats like I did this year

[wajbsb]

I did have the thought that I'd like to finish the GTAs and RDR games - I've done the campaigns on GTA 4 and 5, plus RDR 1 and 2, but I need to go back and 100% them (or as much as possible in the case of GTA5 on PS3). I've not even started the remasters yet 😆 However, it seems a lot and might be a bit optimistic. We'll see how well that ages!

[SoliDeoGloriaIHS]

I keep it simple.  To keep having fun and enjoy (to one extent or another) whatever it is I'm playing, maybe hit 90 platinums and up my trophy completion percentage a bit more.  That's about it. 

[s68sc]

Complete all my PS3 Backlog and get 50 Platinums.

[ChilledBrandon]

Finish Sekiro. I gave up too easily because it wasn't like other FromSoftware games. I'm sure when I actually sit down to learn the mechanics I could beat the game.

[graphic_violins8]

Im looking to get through more of my Wii U and Wii backlogs, specifically knock out some Zelda’s and pandoras tower. I’ll also be collecting some ps2 games. That and working on my ultra rare trophies.

[StewartBros]

Nothing too drastic, but here are a few games I definitely want to do:

 

RDR2 - I did the MP trophies early on, and STILL haven't touched the story yet.  Even if I don't go for the plat, I at least want to complete the game.

Rise of the Tomb Raider - been delaying this for years, but the time has come at last.

Far Cry 5 - to complete the game and ideally get 100%, which will help to clear up my profile.

Horizon Zero Dawn - heard many good things about this game, so it's time to experience it for myself.

[LukeTheGooner]

I want to show my PS Vita some love in 2024, have some games but never played any of them

[Unlucky_Thir13en]

My biggest gaming goal is to knock six big modern JRPGs off my plat wishlist. 

• Dragon's Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age
• Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered
• Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne
• Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
• Odin's Sphere: Leifthrasir
• Yakuza: Like a Dragon

I also started a yearly tradition where I try to kick off the year with a big game that's a little outside of my standard comfort food. 2022 was Bloodborne. 2023 was Hades. I think 2024 will be Baldur's Gate 3.

[RoastedPeanut]

It's going to be a backlog year for me. I've already told myself that I'll try and purchase no more than three games in 2024. We'll see how I go with that, but looking at the 2024 releases I think I'll be good. 

 

My main focus for my backlog completion will be a lot of PS3 gamea that are sitting at the bottom of my profile, so I think I'll have a few 14 or 15 year platinums. I'd also like to completely clean up my Vita backlog, but I need a new Vita for that and may skip that for a bit. 

[PHIL_DADDY1]

1. Hit 500 platinums!!

2. 100% games sitting unfinished on my list

3. Complete PS3 backlog

4. Play PS+ Extra games before they get removed

5. Sell off physical discs that I have completed

6. Not buy any new games   

[Eraezr]

For the fourth year in a row, I will be lying to myself that this will be the year PS3 backlog gets a hard dent. 

[Lenzsotic1]

1. Challenge myself with Harder Platinums

2. Complete the last 3 Part of Far Cry

3. Clear most of my Backlog

4. Get Both Mastery Camos in MW3

5. Waiting for the next COD after finishing MW3 😂

[tony_snake_24]

1. Finish off uncompleted games on my profile.

2. Play mostly games with online trophies to reduce risk of shutdowns affecting me and shutdown chasing streaks.

3. Plat God of War and God of War Ragnarök.

 

 

Point 2 is actually a goal of 3 or 4 years. 

[Shikotei-kun]

Well, this year was a disaster in terms of backlog reduction. No big surprise when you play one game for 6 months and 3 weeks just to platinum it ( 0.96%). According to that end-of-the-year wrap-up by Sony, I spent 1075 hours on that game. 🫠

 

Next year's intentions are... to actually reduce the PS3 backlog, and not add 4 Lego games (although I've done 3 of them and am playing the last one right now):

- Castlevania: Lords Of Shadow 2

- Final Fantasy XIII

- ICO

- Lord Of The Rings: War In The North

- Overlord II

- South Park: The Stick Of Truth

- Tales Of Symphonia: Dawn Of The New World

 

And perhaps revisit dropped games:

- Split Second (rubberband AI in a racing game? 👿)

- Trinity Universe

- Way Of The Samurai 4

 

Also, the decision was made to start Beat Saber and to finally get some first-hand experience with Crypt Of The Necrodancer. I picked up a physical copy for about $10 during the Black Friday sales. Depending on how well Beat Saber goes, I might even become a regular visitor of the local arcade hall and start DDR. Who said you need to go to the gym to stay fit?

 

Easier goals:
Top up Dead Cells back to 100%, get Horizon Zero Dawn's Ultra-Hard playthrough done, and maybe squeeze in some older games that I haven't completed to 100% yet:

- Dungreed

- Little Nightmares (speedrun)

- Lumo

- Whipseey And The Lost Atlas

[DrBloodmoney]

I don't tend to set "goals" as such, but I have had a sort of "soft-goal" of going back and taking another shot at finishing up at least one old PS3 game on my list each year.

 

Kinda running out of ones I'd bother with...

...but maybe El Shaddai this year? 

[Kcrack_Km]

20+ platinums.

At least 5 of those being ultra rare.

Raising my overall percentage to 88%+.

 

Those are my goals next year.

I don't expect to complete any of them.
