Gaming Resolutions for the New Year 2025 - Retro & Other Gaming Forum - Page 1

pushsquare.com:

Didn't know if you were going to make a new thread for 2025 @Th3solution and I couldn't wait to write down my resolutions for the new year, so I decided to create one now.

Feel free to share your gaming resolutions and if you want, come back here every few months to update your progress through the year.

I'll start us off:

1) Finish 50 games (but it's okay to give up on some)

Pretty much the same as my resolution from last year, but with the key difference being that it doesn't have to be games from my backlog. I finished a couple of games on subscription services and I want those to count as well.

2) Finish 5 games that I've been wanting to play through for a long time

So there are some games that I've been wanting to play through for a long time but I've either had a hard time getting around to playing them or I've played a huge chunk of them but never finished them. So I figured I'd make a resolution in order to help motivate me to finally play them. The ones I want to play are:

In the case of MGS5 and Xenoblade, I've played them for 40 and 30 hours respectively. I lost my save file for MGS5 and I stopped playing Xenoblade on 3DS in favour of the Switch version.

3) Finish at least 10 games on PS+ Extra/Premium

So I bought a year of PS+ Premium during Black Friday and in order to feel like I got my money's worth from the purchase, I want to finish at least 10 games on the service this year.

4) Play more Souls-like games

Back in 2016, I played through Dark Souls and Bloodborne but ever since then, I haven't touched this subgenre. I really want to get into it for real. There are also so many titles I want to play in general, such as Dark Souls 3 and NiOh. So my goal is to play more games from this subgenre this year.

I finally completed my quest to get every Yakuza platinum last year, including some bonus ones because I got second Platinum Trophies for the PS4 versions of Like a Dragon, LAD Gaiden, and LAD Infinite Wealth.

So this year is going to be me finally
