RF Generation Message Board

Well as 2015 is slowly coming to an end ( early November as I write this ) I start to look towards 2016 and what game collecting goals I want to set for myself. I imagine Im not the only one so heres a spot for everyone to put your goals down for 2016.

[ ] Video Game Collection to reach 3,000 games ( 2,625 )
[ ] 100 Boxed complete NES games ( 15 or so )
[ ] 100 boxed complete SNES games (15 or so )
[ ] 225 unique Atari 8 Bit Computer Cart titles  ( 210 )
[ ] Would like to have a complete library for one console system.
[ ] 30 Prototype cart games.
[ ] 1 NES TV system ( how many does one really need )  12/31/15
[ ] Finish off getting the last 5 consoles needed for a full US Release set minus modern gen consoles.

and finally

 [ ] Make a big step towards a part of the gaming unit that helps me keep things going.

I can't really throw too many predictions around with the time we have left in the year. Reserved.

Hit 500. At 475 officially but site has me at 474 as I guess my last submission not seen yet or rejected.

Well, I hope to get a 3DS next year. That was my goal for 2015, but no dice.

You do know that you can see your approved submissions (http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/submitinfo.php?action=submitlog) and your pending submissions (http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/submitinfo.php?action=submitqueue), right?

Main Goal:

Build out my Game Room so I can enjoy all these games I spent so much time and money on. Foreshadowing.....

Secondary Goals:

RGB - Didn't make it last year so It's going on this year.
More Homebrew Games - I'm looking forward to It Came from the Desert and some other specialty titles.
NES/Famicom - Grab some more games off my want list
Skylanders - Either Trap Team or Superchargers
Dark Souls 3 - I'm ready for April
32X - I don't have any games so It's time I see what this system has to offer.

Knock off one of the 8 remaining NES games I still need.
Snag as many of the remaining Pico CIBs I need that I can find (my nieces are almost at the point that they're ready to play it).
Finish getting the shelves and stuff I need to get my game room up to par, and get the storage room arranged so I can expand to a second room (I'm EXTREMELY short on space).

I wanna get rid of more games. Hoping to trim out maybe 100 or more very soon. Looking to move from a two bedroom place to a one bedroom. I don't need a room dedicated to video games anymore. God bless my wife for tolerating that crap for so long.

Last year was very good to me.  I think I added close to 800 games to my collection.  Here's hoping for more of the same this year

Complete my 32x collection (Just need Spiderman) - Hey, it's my 10 year anniversary at failing at this goal!  Hooray?
800+ PS2 games Completed 5/4
400+ NES games Completed 7/11
400+ 360 games (54 to go)
300+ Wii games Completed 3/3
200+ Gamecube games (31 to go)
150+ DS games Completed 6/15
175+ Super Nintendo games (22 to go)
100+ Gameboy games (52 to go)
365+ Total games purchased Completed 5/26

My last goal is a bit odd.  I want to try to get at least 5 "Cornerstone" games.  You know, those games that are the more expensive or hard to find games for a particular library.  It's kind of a nebulous thing, so I'll just have to kind of play this one by ear.  Does Luigi's Manision count?  It's a decently pricy game and one I've wanted since it came out but is it really collection defining?  Definitions might get kind of messy, but I'll never get tired of the hunt for games like that so it should still be pretty fun. Completed 7/2

My goals for the year are to get at least 60 of the remaining 66 PAL A NES games.

I want to start my next "complete set" then when I've got almost all the NES games. Not sure what console yet but I enjoyed doing this for the NES.

And finally I want to get my first mortgage. And as part of that get a spare room so I can get a proper media room.

1. Obtain either Little Samson or Flintstones: Dinosaur Peak
2. Obtain 14 more Colecovision titles for 100 total
3. Obtain authentic copy of Texas Chainsaw Massacre for 2600
4. Obtain last Xonox double-ender, Motocross Racer/Tomac the Barbarian
5. Obtain Trouble Shooter and Phantasy Star IV for Genesis.
6. Obtain Shining Force III for Saturn.
7. Finish Starpath Supercharger CIB subset (Party Mix - IB, Rabbit Transit - CIB, Survival Island - C)
8. Obtain 2 of 5 Brazilain CCE Atari 2600 titles (Immies & Aggies, Mission 3000 A.D., Pizza Chef, Sea Monster, Squirrel)

PS2: I reached ~310 last year -> this year 350 is the goal
Gamecube: I'm at 77 now -> this year 100 ist the goal
PS3: I'm at 40 now -> this year 70 is the goal

Holy hell this thread got made WAAAAAAAY early.

Goals for this year.... Since you know we are actually in 2016 now...

My goals for 2016:

1. Get even closer to completing the NA GCN set. Let's say around 550. (455 as of this post)
2. Get an XBone to go with the games I have been accumulating for it.
3. Clear out as much of the bulk in my collection to make more space. (WAY too many steering wheels, dance pads, big box PC games, board games, puzzles, backpacks, storage towers, and spare systems for the small space that I have for it all. If I likely won't ever be able to display them, why do I still keep it all?)
4. Permanently organize and clean my gaming room so I can actually play a lot more of what I own.
5. Play 25% of my collection (I have played like 8% as of this post)
6. Beat 10% of my collection (I have only beaten around 1% so far)

And goals not directly related to collecting or my collection:

1. Participate in at least 4 of the community playthroughs in 2016
2. Make a donation to the site
3. Be a LOT more active on the forums than I was last year.
4. Scan and contribute as much information as I can from my collection to the site.

Love the site goals and would love to hear more from you this year.

This is my tenth year with the site. I can't let that kind of tenure just go to waste, can I? ;)

No set goals for me this year...

I finally got a 3DS for Christmas... So my goal for 2016?

Anything vintage I don't already have... More NES games would be nice...

hit 950 games

1k within reach!

I want to hit probaly 500-650 PS3 NTSC Games (Currently at around 400)
30-45 PS3 PAL Games (Currently at 15)
25 PS3 Japanese Games (Currently at 10)

My only hard goal would be to try and get half-way through acquiring the Game Boy library, roughly 255 carts.  I'm already over halfway to that goal, with 166 US carts currently, so if I grabbed 100 carts this year, that would be an easy target to hit.  In terms of overall collecting, it would be fun to hit 1,500 this year.  I'm at just over 1,260 currently, and as often as I score stuff at the pawn shop and Goodwill, this should definitely be easy to achieve.

Soft goals would be things like acquiring either a Turbo Duo or a PCE Duo R, finally getting an Atari Lynx, etc.  I'd also like to beef up my PSP game collection, as I quite like the system, despite the hardware issues with UMD drives.  The pawn shop I go to has a PSP Go I'm eyeing, as well as a boxed Ratchet & Clank PSP 3000 that I might just have to pick up after I get my tax return.  Most of my funds really need to go toward funding an infant adoption, but most of what I'm talking about is pretty small potatoes, so it's doable within my limited means.

Hunh I had no idea the BG library was so... feasable.

Also definitely baby stuff is more important.

IIRC the PSP GO stopped getting PS Store so you'd have to pirate games for it or something. I like 95% certain that I'm correct on this.

Ok, So a bit late to post here, but here we go. I'm not nearly as close to some of the big milestones of some of the others here. Full sets? I don't have the time or money to be able to track down the really rare stuff.

* Hit 1000 games. Currently sitting at around 974.  I don't include DLC as a game. Physical media only. I may be pretty close to that if I go through my PC stuff again, but I'm more interested in console stuff.
* Hit the 100 mark for my NES collection. I started the year at about 89.  Now at 99
* Expand my PS1 collection to 125 games. I started the year at about 105.
* Get more big name titles that I'm missing, like Castlevania for NES, FF7 for PS1, etc.

1) Maybe this will be the year I finally finish selling off the stuff I no longer want.

2) Get to only needing 50 of fewer Xbox 360 games for a complete NTSC set. I am sitting about 95 needed right now.

I only have 1 goal for this year.  50 phisical PS4 games in my collection.  I'm currently at 48 with 20 days to go.  Shouldn't be any problem aside from finding 2 more I want.  Looking at either the new sword art or digimon as possible games.  Thinking I still need to get a racing game though I'm not sure what games would be best.

With the 3 games I just picked up, my goal is finished with 1+.

I'd recommend Trackmania as your racing game. Been having a lot of fun with it lately.

+1 Trackmania.

How does it compare to the DS released years ago?  I've still got that one but  didn't get that far with it.

Never played the DS one. I'm working my way through the campaign and loving it. The dual player mode where 2 guys control one vehicle is great too.

My son has been digging into the track editor and making some really interesting stuff for me too.
