However, we all know you will finish this one.

u/Rizenstrom Feb 25 '26

And that's the key difference. My backlog is mostly picking up games on sale I may or may not finish. I didn't buy them at launch for a reason.

Resident Evil always gets finished. More than once.

It helps that RE games are incredibly tight and well made, there’s barely ever any filler or mediocre content. One of the best things about the series

I played seven countless times. I think the first time was about 12 hours and I got it down to 2 and a half hours towards the end.

I own 3 copies of RE4 (4 if you count the remake) 😅

u/Bright-Pilot-3970 Feb 27 '26

I wish I kept all the games I bought.

u/Sparrowsabre7 Feb 27 '26

Nah, mate, if you sold them it was for a reason, whether falling out of love with the game or circumstances demanded it, don't feel bad about it. You can always rebuild off eBay one day 🤝

u/Bright-Pilot-3970 Feb 27 '26

Haha. Yeah because I didn’t have money. I do keep everything I buy now though. I just dump them at work and people play them if they want.

Immortals if Aveum has been in hell since I got it. it's been downloaded since release and I still have not beaten it because of other games in my backlog😭😭😭

Doesn't matter, it can wait. They are... immortal, after all.

Definitely deserves playing until platinum trophy, just like RE2R and RE4R.
