iLL-Mortick Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 So i'm looking for inspiration and hopefully some of you want to share yours. I'm trying to get my games listed in Excel, as well as completed games but I don't know where to start. Does anyone here have something like that they could share?

Xyleh Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I sort mine by completed/incomplete/not played/need to buy, and from there it sorts by platform and region. Edited October 12, 2020 by Helyx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferginator88 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I use Excel for planning out timeframes for games I want to Platinum. I have only a few rows, Game Title, Length to Platinum, and Likelihood of Platinum (You could sub in the difficulty of Plat), and then finally day completed. Then I go through my PSNProfile and list all the games outstanding, minus any games I know I will never get the platinum for (dead servers, games I no longer own, etc.). I draft a separate sheet for each console, Vita, 3, and 4, and then generally sort by Length To Platinum. As I play games, I deduct time from that column, which is a nice way I can see my backlog shrinking, even if I don't get a ton of trophies in a play session. I like this system because I can view how many hours I have to play on my PS4 vs my PS3. When I complete a game, I just highlight the cells Green, and they sit at the top of my list. Though I will likely throw in some new sheets as I start clearing more of my backlog. It's a very basic system, but again, I like tracking the time I play. It is nice to see my "PS3 hours outstanding" lessen after a play session. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StressEater Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I use an excel spreadsheet for my backlog. I love excel. It is a great tool. I think the key for you will be finding a way to make it fun. Otherwise, you are starting a huge project, depending on how big your backlog is. It could be very time consuming.

ladynadiad Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I have one for tracking completion. It has two sheets, one for stuff on my profile and one that includes all games I own that are incomplete, even if 0%. The second is nice because it tracks completion of all owned games and counts the 0%s, so I have an accurate representation of my progress in my backlog. All I have to do is add new games and trophies and it calculates the rest. I modified it from something shared in the Attack on Completion thread so I don't mind sharing it if others want something similar, it's on google docs and you can download to excel: It's also been updated to account for the new platinum value, but that did make a mess of my sorting, ugh. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pF5v-h4YN1Fdo4lV6e4HYpLn883sTXFEDswHi2HqavE/edit?usp=sharing Edited October 12, 2020 by ladynadiad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Have you checked out Huskys backlog (PSNP+) tool? If you’re going to use Excel and you’re starting from scratch, it might be worth checking out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post FawltyPowers Posted October 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2020 Yes I use excel, a little excessively. Maybe these will give you some inspiration of what you could do: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassylvania Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 @FawltyPowers Wow, that's really impressive. I thought mine was excessive, and all I did was list all my unplayed games, along with their difficulty and length. I'd show a screenshot, but I'd probably offend somebody with my "Notes" column, where I write my initial thoughts of a game based on reviews, word of mouth, etc. (It's mostly me ripping games apart so that I don't feel the need to play them any time soon. Otherwise, I'd go crazy from having such a big backlog.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I’d post it anyway @Cassylvania. I don’t think there’s any real harm in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT__Jedi Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Definitely. For Events, Competitions and what I need to do in my current games. Also, a 20 page Excel spreadsheet for ESO for each of my toons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
