Topic: Playstation 4 Backloggery and most wanted!

So I made some progress:

Far Cry 5 - completed
Detroit Become Human - completed
Ni No Kuni 2 - completed
Star Wars Battlefront 2 - gave up for now as I lost my psplus subscription and I'm not going to renew soon.
Doom - completed
Prey - just started
Injustice 2 - gave up. My wife didn't like it so that's it.
Middle Earth Shadow of War - to play
Watch Dogs 2 - completed
Homefront The Revolution - to play

Additionally I completed Titanfall 2 campaign.

For the next(this) month:

Prey
Middle Earth Shadow of War
Vampyr
Far Cry Primal
Wolfenstein The New Order

@Kidfried yeah, it is. I haven't played even a minute for a month, so I played a lot now. But I mainly played only main quests, or what was required to completion.

I'm planning to play Vampyr after Prey and Shadow of War, so I'll try and write my impressions.

@NecuVise Wish I could be that focused and play games that way! I always get distracted by side quests and what not. Like it took me all month just to complete Dark Souls Remastered....

@JohnnyShoulder well I also get distracted in souls games, but most of these games have some side activities and quests which don't interest me. Like for example Ni No Kuni 2 has some really bad fetch quests, and I almost gave up on it when it asked me to add 25 more members to my castle before proceeding to the final quest. By that point I did only main quests and what was required to do them and level up my chars to a suitable level. I also don't care for many collectibles in games, so yeah, I like to focus on main quest and move on. If the game has good side quests like the Witcher 3 I'll do them, but otherwise I feel like I'm waisting my time. This way I'm able to enjoy more games.

@RogerRoger Did you ever play the Wii version of The Force Unleashed? I thought it was better than the PS3 one. The one and only time that may have happened.

@KratosMD I'm pretty sure Resident Evil VII: Gold Edition was in the sale that just ended on the ps store.

And thats it until Yakuza kiwami, Dreams and RDR release.

I’ve done alright there for a change!

New Backlog:
Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles
Invector
Assassin’s Creed Freedom Cry

Next Purchases:
Octopath Traveler
Shenmue 1+2 Remastered
Yakuza Kiwami 2

I’m almost caught up on AC, just need to beat Freedom Cry & then I’ll get to start Origins, which I picked up on sale last week.

Are you going to complete the unlockable games as well?

@Ralizah Just Symphony of the Night. That was actually the reason why I picked up Dracula X Chronicles.

@KratosMD I was gradually working up my excitement for Code Vein too, and nearly had it on my preorder list. So far that list is:
Spider-Man, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Red Dead Redemption 2. Now since Code Vein is not threatening to crack those top 3 for this year, I can turn my attention to consideration of Kiwami 2 preorder, but something tells me I won’t be done with Kiwami 1 in time for it to matter.

Edit: Not to mention Shenmue 1/2, Soul Calibur 6, and Valkyria Chronicles 4 which drop in that 3 month time frame. So, yeah ... Code Vein will be a welcome sight later in 2019.

@KratosMD Most games will probably have a price cut for Black Friday - unless they are really selling well then the 'cut' won't be that big if at all. I don't know about digital as there is only 1 store to buy from but if you want Physical and prepared to shop around online, I bet most games - especially those produced in large quantities, will see a price cut. Generally its large stock with dropping/low sales that get the big or early discounts.

Kiwami 2 maybe won't drop much as that is more likely to be made in 'smaller' runs for the western market than games like Tomb Raider, Spider-Man, RDR2 etc because they know it won't sell in those quantities.

@BAMozzy have you played Yakuza yet Mozzy?

@themcnoisy Not really my thing. Watched a few video's, reviews and game-play but the series doesn't interest me.

Update:
Backlog:
Dishonored 1 & 2 - untouched
Gravity Rush 2 - untouched
Child of Light - Finished
Mad Max - untouched

Next Purchases:
Swords of Ditto - Finished
Detroit Become Human - Not purchased, borrowed off a friend and only played a couple of hours
Spiderman - Preordered
Spyro - on the wishlist

@Kyroki I was thinking about doing GoT. How is it? I like most Telltale games, but some are certainly better than others.

The more I hear of Spider-Man the more I want to pre-order it.

@JohnnyShoulder I had a preorder on it months ago, but get more excited with each bit of new information that comes out. The latest thing that really got me going from Sammy’s recent interview with the developer was that he emphasized Marvel’s Spider-Man is a very narrative driven game. I was worried it would be another huge open world sandbox with lots of wandering around the open world doing fun stuff, but with a weak main storyline, but the interview sounded like the narrative is the main focus. I’m getting to where I have to have a compelling story to stick with a game — especially a long open world game.
So... go for it! You know once it releases in a month you’re gonna be seeing loads of info on here and you won’t want to feel left out!

@Th3solution Ha ha you make a good case for it! Not else I can think of really interests for the rest of the year (no not even Red Dead 2) so it is very likely I will get it.

I'm also after a Special Edition, but IIRC I wasn't overblown by the spidey one.

@JohnnyShoulder I was at the store last night and I paid off my preorder for Spider-Man, and I had a few bucks left and I came close to preordering Red Dead Redemption 2, but I just couldn’t make myself do it. The more time passes, the more I’m losing the hype for it. I already have Spidey and Shadow of the TR for sure and honestly, those two plus my backlog is certainly more than I can handle for the next 6+ months. And so many large open world games, I fear the open world burn out factor (like I alluded to above). I’m not giving up on RDR2 yet, but Rockstar better show me something quick to keep me engaged and convince me it needs to move back up to the top of my list.
