First MEAndromeda, than ME Andromeda 2 and the third one, after that a real Old Republic game and finally they can think in a new IP. And after 2 disappointing entries do right or finish Dragon Age for good.
SFV is on par with SFII: Championship Edition and Samurai Showdown 2. So it's one of the best fighting games ever made. The only problem was the single player content at release. And you can buy characters with in-game money! Come on this is awesome! I love it, it's much better than IV and Alpha series. That said I have a major problem with this game and it's the price of some costumes, it's ridiculous expensive and while it's cosmetic, it's very important in a fighting game.
Only to mediocre games! Since Pokemon pre orders are on the roof. Look at the games TItanfall 2 (ok campaign, generic fps multiplayer) COD (worst than titanfall in every way), Watch Dogs 2 (ridiculous setting and characters and sequel of a mediocre game). So the problem are the games not the Black Friday. Look at early 2017, For Honor, P5, Mass Effect, Zelda, Tales of something, Berserk Warriors and a lot more. Some aren't the biggest blockbusters out there but come on next year looks so much better than 2016.
The soundtrack and the visuals are probably among the best ever made. If the gameplay is at least good this will be a masterpiece. PLEASE don't be like XIII by any means!
I'll wait for reviews, but even with a mixed reaction I'll buy. Only the most mediocre game would me pull off. And yes, I played FFXIII so to me it have to be really bad.
Final Fantasy XV is the non-nintendo game that I'm buying in months. Why would I buy a generic fps with robots? Or a generic fps in space that will get an even bigger stage next year? I can't accept the same game every year, and For Honor is the first ubisoft game that I'm buying since Rayman Legends years ago. The same for Mass Effect Andromeda, that will be the first EA game since ME3! That said, I think that japanese producers are coming back to the top, which to me is great.
@GBMatthew While I agree with a lot of other points here, the major reason (even bigger than my irk towards Ubisoft) that I'm skipping this game is the theme, it's so hipster and starbucks' revolutionary!
@ShogunRok It's gets worst, Persona and ME Andromeda with all the delays and etc, may come at the same time. -_- And yeah the trilogy should come for Christmas!
Mp on 3 is the best that a mp can be. I won't mind play a few hours on Andromeda. That said, again a disappointing N7 day, come one! The game will launch early 2017 and we got, on the N7 DAY, a trailer with few info and 1:44 running time! Really????
Finally! May drop more 50% next year! Great news, the drop on sales made Ubi skip a year with Assassins Creed, which may be very good for the next game.
@DualWielding Oh thanks a lot, now I may finally be able to understand why people love so much this franchise, and my wife loves Disney so it's a win win!
@get2sammyb Sorry to ask sammy, but please can you explain to me, if I play this I'll play every KH that is important to the plot? Will I be able to "understand" the story to play KHIII? And don't drag me to hell! May you rest in peace.
Not every company is able to keep the pace with DLC, aside from Witcher 3 expansion the last amazing dlc that I played was Lair of the Shadowbroker in Mass Effect 2, years ago.
I think this website is great and I really like your opinion in general (to the hell with Battleborn)! That said, Bethesda isn't the same to me anymore, while I think that Skyrim is dated and flawed as hell, it was an enjoyable RPG, even if it's weaker than Morrowind and on par with Oblivion. But after Elder of Scrolls online and Fallout 4 is hard to respect anything from Bethesda (specially after CD Projekt Red shows how to make a RPG) so without a great review I won't even bother do look at their games.
@DarkFauxeh My oh my, I think that you have no notion about the gaming market. Advance was a success, DS was the most successful handheld ever and the second best selling console all time, losing only to the PS2, which honestly, is unbeatable (quality/sales wise). The 3DS sold more than 60 million units. So please refrain of being insane and silly.
That said, what a sad article, I love Nintendo and I'm sold towards Switch, but I look at my Vita and...he's (yes he) dying and don't even know about it. And Nintendo may hit the final nail, but Sony put it in a coffin.
@Xaessya AHahha as you imagined I've already played all this games except Etrian Odyssey ones because I really don't like (Persona Q was enjoyable because of the cast/personas). But I have to say that Devil Survivor Overcloked is one of my favorites megami tensei, probably in my top 5.
@Xaessya It's hard to trust in reviewers when any shooter gets a 9 and a masterful JRPG struggle to get an 8. SMTIV is good, SMTIV Apocalypse is amazing.
@Cowboysfan-22 Agreed! Especially because there's no bad persona spin of! Even Dancing All night is good! But P5 Arena is a must after the amazing Arena/Ultimax
My real problem with this game is the...adult life, I have to work, accompany my parents to the doctor, study, be a company to my wife and take care of dogs, so I really can't afford my "game time" to a MMO, no matter how good it is.
I'm gonna be honest in general delays help me, because I have little time to play. But next year is too crowded! February Persona 5, March Mass Effect and Zelda NX! P5 + ME + Zelda + New Nintendo console = year long of games!!
@Dichotomy I'm not liberal with the term hardcore, but there are differences between us, who are here discussing about video games and tons of people who buy PS4, Fifa, Call of Duty and some shi* game for his son/wife. So the terms are important, the problem is that people is very liberal with "hardcore/casual".
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi don't get me wrong I want to succeed but I think that we're 1 generation early before VR have an opportunity to be really good, and we won't get many great games/modes for it. I may be wrong of course.
It's interesting and sad how Atlus sales are small, specially talking about a company that excels in quality. That said probably P5 will sell like Fire Emblem Fates. West is caring more about Jrpgs and PS4 is very popular right now, and P4G sold over a million on VITA which is kind of bizarre.

@get2sammyb Thanks sammy! @AlexStinton how do you compare Mafia III to the Godfather II (which is unplayable garbage)?
Re: Review: Mafia III (PS4)
@get2sammyb I have only one question the gameplay is better than The Godfather II (PS3/X360), and is it more or less repetitive?

Re: Persona 5 Is Three Weeks Old and It's Already Atlus' Best Selling Game Ever in Japan
