I wanted to get this up early.
We've had these for a few years now and seem to be semi popular.
Keep things strictly to 2018 goals. Recap your 2017 goals in the other thread here.

Re: Gaming Resolutions for 2018
Nothing in spoiler tags in this post will contain game spoilers it's just simply to make sure my post isn't way to long.
Mine are a little complex this year because I'm really going to try knuckle down on my backlog. PS+ Free games makes this a living nightmare but hopefully it's not to bad and or there's a bunch of games that can be N/A'd for being sports games or games I already own.
I. Purchase max 3 video games. - FAILED 10/3
[NEW] I. Beat more games than I acquired (Excluding PS+/Games with Gold/Game Pass) - COMPLETED - 28/19
[NEW] I. Beat twice as many games than I acquired (Excluding PS+/Games with Gold/Game Pass) - FAILED - 28/38
Notes.
Beaten - 28 (Current +9/-10)
II. Beat 5 games for each Quarter. - COMPLETED - 4/4
III. Beat 26 Games (Which would be a new record for me) - COMPLETED - 26/26
26/26
III. Beat 50 Games - FAILED - 49/50
49/50
IV. Beat at least 1 PS+ Freebie game every month - FAILED - 5/12
V. Beat 8 steam games - COMPLETED - 8/8

Re: Gaming Resolutions for 2018
I did terribly last year, not accomplishing a single resolution! This year, I'm gonna do more or less the same resolutions but relaxed a bit. However, I'm going to insist that I top my games cleared count from last year. It was my lowest since I started recording my game clears in 2012.
Beat more games than I did last year (ie, 15 or more)
1. Flywrench
2. Batman: The Telltale Series
3. Windjammers
Beat 2 games from series I've never played
1.
Beat 3 games for platforms released 1999 or earlier (Virtual Console, rereleases, etc. count)
1. Windjammers
Enter two Super Smash Bros. tournaments
