Day One.

[kitler53]

not going to say I have no interest but:
- helldivers
- dragons dogma
- FF 

...all look more interesting and is already too much for the launch period.  

not going to pick this up until I at least have played GoT.

i think i'm going more towards dragons dogma before this, but I might just get both cause why not

i think i'm going more towards dragons dogma before this, but I might just get both cause why not

i can only think of 2 reasons:  time and money.    

i have the money but not the time.   my backlog is massive and i'm pretty much ashamed i've never played TLoU2, GoT, any of the spiderman games, and quite a few other titles.   


oh, and i should add Stellar Blade.    I want that one too.   


Last year was the year of "finding value in ps+ exta".   I played waaay too many games i didn't particularly care about just because they were "free".    I'm determined this year is the year of not giving a fudge about the "value" and to go back to just playing what i want to play.   so far so good.   I'm playing BG3, talos principle 2, and now helldivers.   i did install foamstars as well.   i'm glad to have tried it.   i'll give it at least another go but i'm not sure i'll keep at it.    ...but i'm going to get to that backlog.    it's been 6 years since spiderman released,... it's waaay overdue.

yeah time is my biggest factor, but I don't have kids or anything so all I have is main work and my indie game, but I try to dedicate most weekends to playing games most of the day. I will wait for reviews though.  Cause you never know if something might just not be worth my time

I loved Ghost of Tsushima and its combat so I hope this is just as good

my co-op buddy raved about GoT.   i Iook at Ronin with the same interest,.. totally looks like my kind of game.    but i will not buy it until i have at least played GoT first.

Same rules as the GOW thread. Give a high, medium, and low prediction.

IE you expect it to get a 95 so you set that as your middle. Then you set 97 as your high because you don't think the game has a good chance of scoring above that. Then you set 88 as your low because you don't expect the game to score lower than that.

RESULTS WILL NOW BE SCORED SO THAT AN OVERALL WINNER CAN BE DETERMINED AT THE END OF THE YEAR. IF YOU HAVE THE CLOSEST PREDICTION, YOU EARN POINTS: SCORE +=100-(high prediction-low prediction)*2. IF THE FINAL MC FALLS OUTSIDE YOUR HIGH AND LOW PREDICTIONS, YOU LOSE POINTS: SCORE -=50.

Review embargo ends when the countdown ends. Feel free to post predictions and edit them up till that time.

Haha I think of Team Ninja with Ninja Gaiden. I forgot they made Nioh too.

Also they made Wo Long, so maybe I should lower my prediction.
