New Year’s Gaming Resolutions 2018

Games
#1

Post specific gaming goals for the year. Try to avoid low-effort posts about how you resolve to play some games in your backlog. Lean toward accomplishments and getting rid of bad habits like a real resolution.

  • Play less PUBG
  • Beat Master Ninja difficulty in Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II
  • Learn to jump cancel in Devil May Cry 3 or 4
  • 1CC Crimzon Clover on Arcade difficulty (this will be very hard…)
  • Make Silver rank in Street Fighter 5
#2

Now that the X1X update is released for Witcher 3 on Xbox, I resolve to finally beat Witcher 3 and its expansions.

#3

Spend less money on gaming. Crimany.

#4

2560 x 1440, same as 2017.

#5

Gaming 2018 - New Computer Build. I’m excited.

#6

I learned via Discourse search that screen resolution is a very popular topic on QT3!

#7

Hmm, play more games with my son. That’s about it.

Also maybe play more in general this year. 10 hours in the last 2 weeks puts me at just over 100 for the year total gaming, so I’d like a little more time for that.

#8

Which leads into mine - only buy games when I’m ready to play them immediately.

  • Give Players Unknown BattleGrounds a try
  • Try to play less Grim Dawn and other ARPGs so that I have time for other genres in 2018.
  • Keep trying to finish the courtroom level in Wolfenstein II without lowering the difficulty
  • Try at least 50% of the indie games I bought this Thanksgiving/Holiday sales period
  • Get through Bloodborne without compromising on exploring everything. Don’t just skip whole sections and go to the end. Finish the damn open-ended Nightmare areas with too many paths.
  • Kill the damn tree in Dark Souls 3, and finish Dark Souls 3.
  • Try to stay away from driving games in 2018 so that I have more time for other genres. Just temporarily. I promise.
  • If Red Dead Redemption 2 has the equivalent of the first game’s Mexico section, with almost no redeeming qualities, try to just put your head down and play past it somehow.

  • 1CC an arcade game before the end of the year.
  • Limit all PC purchases other than gifts to Humble Bundles or the Monthly.
  • Finish the games we got for Christmas.
  • Expand my Retro setup so all systems are comfortably available to play.
  • Buy Panzer Dragoon Saga for SEGA Saturn, play and complete it.
#11

Pre-order nothing.

#12

Play awesome stuff and enjoy it.

#13

Make more, play more.

#14

More modern computer.

#15

Give Frontier: Elite 2 a real go.

#16

Probably to stop reading these forums, as my gaming spendings have been multiplicated by 4 since I joined. I used to never buy anything over 5 bucks!

#17

Remove more from the backlog than I add to it. Also, play a lot of Gloomhaven. Hm. I think I have a conflict of interest there.

#18

Play more Japanese games. And learn Japanese to fully appreciate them.

Also, try to be more selective in my game purchases. And try to not increase my backlog in a way that by the time the year ends I have more games to play than I had in the beginning, unlike 2017. ;)

#19

If you can do that in 2018, that would be impressive!

#20

Spoiler: the results might be the opposite to what is expected.
