The Play What You Get, Get What You Play aka PWYGGWYP ( or more easily, pigwhip) Challenge 2021 is here! Behold the following words and woe betide you should you defy this edict of the Duckbreaker! You have 4 slots for the Pigwhip Challenge: See how generous to you all I am? Well, many of you (bar 10 gleaming paragons) demonstrated how weak-willed you were in last year's challenge, and as much as I enjoy deleting your names from the list and replacing it with a biting comment, I thought we could all do with a bit of leeway this year. (Nods sagely to the imaginary applause) Previous Pigwhippers may start with a clean slate once again. Games bought/started before this challenge began don't need to go on. However, set a good example to yourself and put them on anyway, as you'll then have the impetus to see them through rather than slink away shamefully, starting as you probably mean to go on...hurtling down into the pit of ABJECT FAILURE. ALL newly purchased games, backlog games, dlc, expansions, season passes etc. count. It doesn't matter whether it's a new game or an old game, gamepass, game compilation, humble bundle or whatever else. IT GOES ON, OR FACE MY WRATH! Oh and beware the beady eye of the Duck, unreported profligacy may well be laid bare before the baying hordes. As soon as you buy or otherwise obtain the item, it counts. Report it on this thread and I'll thrust it into your awaiting slot. If your slots are already filled,then your are out, like the dirty, promiscuous... gamer you are. Compilations/Humble bundles and the like count as a single slot filled. That compilation then remains in the slot until all the games you were interested in it are done. All filler games you weren't interested in can slide into the slurry pool of your ever expanding backlog. A collection of games in a single series go into a single slot in the same way as a compilation would. They remain so until all games are completed. If a game in the collection is one you have no intention of playing (i.e. one you had played to death previously) then that does not need to be done if it is one of three or more games in the collection. If it is a collection of TWO games only, then why the Hell would you have bought the collection?! It has to be completed. 'Free' games that you get as part of a subscription service I will grudgingly allow to go into backlog. Games you dig from backlog count after a 2 hour trial period. This allows for game sampling before you commit. Once you cross that 2hr mark, report it here it gets added. Pre-orders count as a slot filled as soon as you pre-order, in all but exceptional cases. Those cases have to be presented as a plea to the Duckbreaker. The Duckbreaker may be benevolent in cases of limited edition pre-orders that would sell out before release. However, the majority of pre-orders are a foolish way of paying more for a game that probably hasn't been properly finished yet, and may turn out to be shite. Surely that Big Game from last year, now fully patched and complete with all dlc at a fraction of the cost is a far more sensible purchase? You know I am right. Oh, games you have pre-ordered BEFORE the start of this challenge don't need to go on until they arrive. Chosen your game badly? Perhaps you have been lead astray by some numpty YouTube personality or even other forumites and spent your hard-earned money on Shadowgangs, or another game you realise is a bit shite. You have a chance to have your plea heard to have it removed. Court will be held with me Duckbreaker as your Judge and other pigwhippers as Jury. If you are lucky, your sentence will be to complete a specific challenge to have your failed slot freed. The Duckbreaker's word is Law. I will give a pretence of democracy by putting difficult or controversial issues to the Pigwhipper citizens. Occasionally I might be benevolent. Mostly I won't. And so, let it begin!

...plus they have finished 148 games between them, so that's nice.
Note: demographic breakdown may not be 100% accurate
It is with a great sense of smugness, and not a little glee, that we must dutifully report on the 4 losers.

HarryPalmer: Tried valiantly to count to four but, sadly, overachieved!
RyanDS: Bought all the games in early February because CEX were shutting down

The point? It's about picking good games and seeing them through to the end, rather than dropping them into the uncompleted pile of shame. It's also about not filling your backlog with a shit tonne of games you may never play.
I don't quite understand the point.
Maybe you have the self-discipline to not buy games quicker than you can play, or drop them too easily; well good for you. This is the thread for tracking your completions while simultaneously giving the impetus to cherish better games more.
Or, it is a fun place to watch others crash and burn as their new year gaming resolutions fail miserably. Yes. That one. -

Registered 5 years agoOkay, let's go with:
1. Deus Ex Mankind Divided dlc. Main game is done, but since I bought the full version it is in till the Season Pass stuff is done too.
2. Dark Souls Remastered. Well I was starting the second playthrough of Bloodborne, but this one seemed to take over. Maybe its the easier bosses after enduring the pain of Ludwig, Orphan and that damn First Vicar. Aiming for one full playthrough.
That's all for now while I mull over which shmup to have on when I can't be arsed with the above. -

I have pre ordered Lego Star Wars - The Skywalker Saga, but did so last year. It can take a slot if required. -
