- My buddy and I have been having a trophy war on the PS3 for some time now. Currently I am smashing him by such a large margin that it has kind of diminished the excitement. We now believe that if we focus on platinum trophies perhaps that will peek our interest again. I know I have already been working on getting platinum on a number of games so I think this is doable without me dedicating all of my free time to trophy hunting. Two games that I have in mind are Assassins Creed 2 and Sleeping Dogs. Goal: Earn two platinum trophies on the PS3.
- I have a large catalog of half finished games. Some times I just dropped it for the latest hot and shinny and sometimes the game just got a bit to frustrating. I am the king at playing a game till a hard part and then telling myself that I would just step back for a bit and tackle it again. Needless to say I forget them entirely. To clear my conscious, I wish to play a handful of these games and complete them. Goal: Complete five games that I started before the New Year.
- In addition to task number two, I know that I will be getting some new games this year. I mean, with Steam sales every quarter you know this will happen! So I would like to complete at least three of the games I buy this year. Goal: Complete three games that I bought after the New Year.
- I also really want to enjoy some classic games this year. This means games that are not current generation games, or even PS3 or 360 games. I am talking about games that are important to video games as a whole, such as memorable story line or innovative mechanics. Goal: Play one classic game this year.
- I have a love for grand strategy games or 4x games. Titles that fit this build include Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis, Endless Space, and Civ 5. Problem is that these games tend to take so long to play that I rarely ever finish a play session till completion. The only one that I can think of was one game of Civ 5. I would like to change that. Goal: Play at least to games of this type to completion.
- Technically I want to keep these resolution lists to five tasks to keep things manageable but I really just thought of this one and want to follow through on it. I don't know why I left this game, I loved it so and really should go back and figure out what happened. Goal: Play Guild Wars 2 and see if I simply got swamped with other games or if there is something about the game that I know longer like.
Well that is it for my video game list, stay tuned for the other lists.
What are your resolutions in terms of your video gaming this year?
