I’ve got two main gaming resolutions for 2024 and then one personal one. Use this thread to post your goals for 2024!
Gaming resolutions:
1. Play through Persona 5 by date (this will naturally push into 2025 but that’s okay). I want to play it long and slow.
2. This will be a backlog maintenance year. So beat at least three times as many games for the first time than re-beating games I’ve already played.
Personal resolution:
1. Rewrite my first novel and thoroughly edit it.
That’s it! Am keeping it simple. Maybe that’ll help me stick with it.
Fun fact: Persona 5 starts the day after I get a full solar eclipse here. That’ll be a nice reminder!
Resolutions for 2024
Resolutions for 2024
I’ve been waiting for the sun to come up. Waiting for the showers to stop. Waiting for the penny to drop. One time. And I’ve been standing in a cloud of plans. Standing on the shifting sands. Hoping for an open hand. One time.

1. Continue playing and enjoying games when I have the time
Re: Resolutions for 2024
I'm going to push myself a little harder this year, given my performance in 2023. Maybe I can keep it up.
Get Five (5) Platinum Trophies
Beat Five (5) PC/SteamDeck Games
Finish Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers
Beat 2 Games on Systems I Didn't Even Boot Up in 2023

- 11 March - I finished Stormblood, the expansion just before Shadowbringers. I have some post-expansion patches to clear up, then I can move on to this. Getting closer!

Re: Resolutions for 2024
Oh I like both of these. I may copy them for mine when I get around to posting them.
This is probably the best one in the thread, though.

Re: Resolutions for 2024
I didn't make any resolutions in 2023, but it did end up being a good year of backlog clean up, and got me playing on PS5 more which was my least played console.
2024 Resolutions:
- Play and beat Earthbound: This is a game I've wanted to playthrough for a long time now. Feels like an essential peice of Nintendo history I am missing!
- Play a (legacy) Final Fantasy game: I've long felt that I should have more experience with the series considering I grew up enjoying rpg's. It doesn't have to be done in 2024, but I know I at least want to play FFVI and FFXII. Just a matter of timing and right pricing (pixel remasters were way too expensive at launch)
And I think thats it! Won't hold myself to too much.

Re: Resolutions for 2024
Knocked out a couple of these!
Anyway, I don't consider it necessary to beat for the purposes of this resolution, but it could be a nice bonus entry.
Boy, this was easier than I thought, inasmuch as I did it pretty much without thinking about it. Bomb Rush seems a bit like cheating since it is so thoroughly a tribute to an existing series, but I think it counts. Anyway, hopefully I get some more to add to this list by the end of the year!
Finally knocked out (and platinumed!) Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. I loved it and am glad to once again be current on the series. Unable to totally detach from it, though, I did purchase Yakuza for PS2. Its 2016 remake Yakuza Kiwami is widely believed to be the definitive version of the game, and of course I've beaten that one, but I can't help but want to know where the series came from. In particular, I'm curious to see the localization choices they made. Just from the games I have played, I know that RGG Studios has become more comfortable assuming western audiences know things about Japan and Japanese culture, so I'm curious how different the 2005 release will feel in that regard. I don't look forward to only having the option for an English dub, but Mark Hamill as Majima should be interesting!
