Now the full list is on, I have time to look at it and judge it more fairly. Some games I honestly don't think it was possible to call it beaten, so I'm putting them as null. Other games I hated so much (hello most of my Atari Lynx games) so I wouldn't have wanted to waste any more time on them. Some games I literally never played, like the time I bought all the Resident Evils for the GameCube as I planned to play them all in sequence. They don't feel unfinished to me, as they were more correctly unstarted.
I am being completely arbitrary in how I do this though, and some games are defiantly remaining as despite having never been played, and others that I did kick around for a bit might end up as simply because in my mind the game was just a casual fling rather than a proper relationship. I do need to do it on a case by case basis, and as inconsistent as it sounds it mostly makes sense to me. Mostly.
I'm still very much in favour of honesty in dealing with the Backloggery, and some older games I would never, could never mark down as . There are a selection of titles on every platform that I feel compelled to go back and finish once and for all, no matter how, which is why you'll see that I recently bought the XBLA remake of Banjo Kazooie. That's a decade old bit of gaming that I really should have put to bed, but I'm determined to do so. On the other hand, I spent a couple of hours playing BK: Nuts & Bolts and it left me cold. I'll have another session with it, but if I don't find the hook then I'm going to mark it as I really don't have the time to finish games I don't like. Hell, I don't have time to finish the games that I do ...
I must chase up my friend, he was going to make me an automated spreadsheet to calculate the Backloggerometer automatically. I'll give him a kick up the bum and see if he's done any work on it, will make it easier to see how things stand.
