Do you have any? I do. Here they are:

I'm not going to play an RPG in 2025. I want to see how this impacts my life, if at all.

I'm only going to buy 3 games. I spent far too much money on games in 2024, and barely played most of them.

Yours?

 

[asdasdasdbb]

4K

 

[Rush2112]

My resolution is to not play any overhyped game that this board keeps on talking about. It will probably be another PS exclusive trash like spiderman 2.

 

[T-Reks]

Going to upgrade my PC, and jump into the game development and streaming pool after just dipping my toes in a lot over the last couple years

 

[jshackles]

For the last 10 years or so, my resolution has been to finish at least 52 games.

[RagnarokIV]

No woke games.

 

[rodrigolfp]

6880x2880.

 

[Magister]

Yes, play more games and manage my time better.

 

[Topher]

My resolution is to focus more on games and less on social/identity politics in games.

 

[adamsapple]

Less spending, more renting.

 

[FoxMcChief]

To stop playing a game the moment I feel like I’m just going through the motions. My time is too precious to be wasted these days.

[Perrott]

I would like to complete the 52 games in 1 year challenge.

 

[cormack12]

I'd like to continue to develop into a toxic white cisgender male gamer

 

[darrylgorn]

Might be the year to finally dive into VR.

 

[Kings Field]

Now that I have a portal I want to utilize my premium subscription more.

Take chunks out of my Switch backlog.

Now that I've started playing GT7 and seen how fragile their community is on reddit, I want to go online and ram KO people off the track and bring my Friday the 13th skills to good use.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Play games from my infinite backlog.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Less buying, more playing. Too often I purchase a game and it sits in the backlog before appearing on PS+ or some other discount service.

As well, 90% of my games this next year will be backlog only. Only planned exceptions are as follows:

Death Stranding OTB
Doom: The Dark Ages
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Metal Gear Solid Delta

Lunar Remastered and Suikoden Collection may also get exceptions but I'm torn on waiting until there is a sale and allowing them to drop in price.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'd like to continue to develop into a toxic white cisgender male gamer

I’d like to see that too.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Ive spent way too much buying dlcs/premium edition for games i own, but never intended on playing this year.

1. Will spend less than 1500€ on steam
2. Will match, but not surpass whatever that amount ends up being in gacha pulls
3. Will stop confusing controller buttons
4. Will not buy games that launch on gamepass

 

[FoxMcChief]

Might be the year to finally dive into VR.

You must have a huge dick, because only us cool guys with humongous dicks own VR devices.

 

[darrylgorn]

You must have a huge dick

 

[HogIsland]

No more rocket league

 

[FoxMcChief]

Maybe VR isn’t for you.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

To start Final Fantasy VII Remake for the fifth time and once again give up before the 10 hour mark.

Real answer:
1. Get a Switch 2 at launch
2. Focus more on games that require skill and mastery rather than leveling/grinding/loot to win
3. Beat Doom 2016
4. Beat Elden Ring
5. Keep on racking up all the rare incel victories

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Play games from my infinite backlog.

Bought the ascent as it was £7.50 the other day. Have about 30 games I need to play, the 70% off triggered my monkey brain. Absolute consumer.

 

[OverHeat]

Snag a 5090 at launch.

 

[Putonahappyface]

I'm going to start buying secondhand games instead of rewarding lazy developer's and buy brand new games from developer's that care and go the extra mile for there customers.

 

[intbal]

Make at least a show of attempting to improve my cable management.

 

[Gonzito]

Buying only games that I know I will play and finish

 

[Mr Hyde]

Spend less, buy less and play more. I'll also sell any game that I don't like instead of it just sitting on the shelf taking up space. Tired of all the clutter. It's time to downsize the collection and make it manageable.

 

[Alebrije]

Just Buy 2 new games all the year , reduce backlog from PS2 and PS4 games.


Pretty sure the " don't Buy new games reduce backlog" new year resolution for gamers equals to the " going to gym on january, eat healthier". We know how the story ends...

 

[Codeblew]

Less spending, more renting.

renting isn't spending?!?!

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Buy less games, but 2025 looks stacked so that might be hard lol.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Play more Visual Novels

 

[Magic Carpet]

Spend more time in the game and less time fiddling with game graphic settings.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I do want to play more this next year. My kids are all a year older, so maybe it’s time they fend for themselves (15, 6 and 3).

 

[TheAtomicPile]

- Stop myself from buying a Switch 2 if the launch library isn't worth it.
- Replay MGS 1-5
- Don't buy any PC games I won't immediately play.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Buying only games that I know I will play and finish

And how someone can know that??

 

[HRK69]

Curing my FOMO

I buy too many games that I just don't play (or drop after a hour)

 

[John Marston]

Stop buying new games.

Just because it's new doesn't mean I need it right fucking now.

I already have a backlog to last me at least 5 years.

 

[Gonzito]

And how someone can know that??

I am trying to figure that out

 

[PeteBull]

Finish up at least 10% of my backlog, would wanna go for 15% but that is pushing it

 

[xrnzaaas]

Fuck no I'm not playing this, I already broke my 2023 promises in the first few days of this year (by buying new games instead of finishing the old ones).

 

[FoxMcChief]

To stop playing a game the moment I feel like I’m just going through the motions. My time is too precious to be wasted these days.

And with that said, I’m putting down Soul Reaver. The mechanics are just not there for me. I’ll let the game stay great in my past, instead of “meh” in 2024.

 

[Borowski_1]

try to buy less games and play the ones i have

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

I need to bring myself to start Ghost of Tsushima and finish it.

I am intimated by long games....

 

[Illyria]

Maybe start Elden Ring. I stink at those games. May just go mage or something.

Buy Switch 2 day 1 depending on offerings. Enhanced BC is def day 1. If not will depend on 1st parties.

 

[Celcius]

To grab the rtx 5090 and Switch 2 at launch
To finally upgrade my iPhone 12 Pro in September
To enjoy my 2 week vacation when the PC version of FF7 Rebirth comes out

 

[reinking]

Just getting back to having fun playin video games.

What I am thinking….

The way it will go…
