It's high on the list, but the current free period with ffxi takes precedence. I'm wrapping up the RoV missions this weekend hopefully making good headway with the Voracious Resurgence stuff before Starfield. AC6 will be an October game for me

It'll have a long tail, as more PS5's sell more people will buy copies.

Granblue will be day one, I've played P3 before so the remake can wait even if it does look rad.

I played a closed beta for this last year, be interested to see how it's improved and changed.

I kinda miss playing Black Desert, it was simple grindy fun for when I wanted to turn my brain off, got turned off by the endgame upgrade system though. Be interesting to see how Crimson Desert has evolved.

Been following Sea of Stars for what feels like years and I CANNOT wait!

I finished Scarlet Nexus earlier in the week (What a game!) and then finally got around to Miles Morales and finished it in two and a half sittings, really enjoyed it and now i am ready for SM2!

This weekend I think I might catch up on Honkai Star Rail and Genshin. I'm also eyeing up Gravity Rush 2.

If I'm honest with myself though I'm killing time until Baldur's Gate 3 hits PS5 and Starfield hits early access.

I think people underestimate the hunger for a modern D&D game. I'm fighting my need for it because I want the PS5 version, but every clip that keeps slipping into my feed whittles away at my resolve.

Also, I wish I could say it was surprising to see Lost Ark's fall from grace be so complete, but that game became unplayable for anyone not at the very end of end-game or able to keep seven other people interested and organised enough to keeo progressing.

Glad to see no Emil because he would be far too OP, someone even looks crosswise at Kainé and he nukes the entire battlefield.

@nhSnork Just realised I have that gods damned bear as my Steam profile pic...

I adored this game, it was simple clean fun that was visually stunning. I would love to see more in that world whether it be a sequel or a film/show.

It has 666 Platinum in it which is 66.6% off the next season pass, which means you only need to buy a fivers worth of Plat instead of a tenner's...Which might make future season passes more palatable, maybe... providing you finish all the ranks needs for max plat.

I played the initial PC release aaaaand it was janky as all hell but it had potential so I might jump into the PS5 version to see if they cleaned it up.

@ErrantRob even at 5x the size it might still be short if you ignore the fluff... Knowing how completionist fextra's folk tend to be that time estimate will include S-ranking all the missions and doing all the optional malarkey.

But all the fluff is where the fun with the AC games comes... The tinkering with mechs, re-running missions to get that perfect ranking, hunting down all the optional stuff... Saving up all your cash to buy A Big Gun only to realise your legs are poop and now you can barely move without wobbling.

@UltimateOtaku91 Winter 20xx is the weirdest period of time because you'd think 'Ah, yes, back end of December!' But NO! Could be any time up the back end of March the following year...

Which is why I'll always prefer the Quarter 1-4 method of release periods.

@nessisonett I'd give someone else's left nut for a Binary Domain sequel!

Against my better judgment I'll be doing Diablo 4 seasonal stuff

I also finally started Scarlet Nexus and I've been really enjoying it so far.

I need to convince my crew to play this over Diablob, but I reckon I'll just let diablo disappoint us over the weekend THEN finish convincing them to do some pewpewsouls

@Bingo-Bongo to be 100% fair Yoshi-P did say in interviews before release that if after playing it people made a fuss about wanting dlc they'd consider it... and Godsdamnit I want more!

This comment section has been a fun one to have unravelling in the background.

This is the kinda dumb ***** that always goes down in D&D campaigns, would be even funnier if instead of a persuasion check you had a roll initiative to seduce the wild-shaped druid.

I can't wait to see all the pearl clutching once the really silly stuff starts coming out about this game.

I'd buy in at that price IF it had the FeMC and all the bits that came with the other versions of the game... as it stands I'll wait for the inevitable Golden/Royal/Complete version in a year or so and then jump in.

I'm on the final sidequest-a-thon in FFXVI, should finish my first playthrough today or tomorrow depending on how long it takes to knock out these quests and hunts and trophy hunting.

I'll also be playing some Diablob 4 with the lads

After all that I'll be playing some Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak.

Another one to add to the collection!

Still need to pick up the Endwalker artbook, probs add that to my wishlist for crimbo this year.

I wonder if he covers his eyes and ear and goes 'la la can't see anything, nothing to see here!' when confronted with the millions of clips of how broken the game was not just at launch but even after a whole load of patches

FFXVI, I'm about half way I think... I am loving every second of it so far.

At least now my wallet can relax for a while after the barrage it has taken over the last 3 months. end of the year award season is going to be messy this year but if Ben Starr doesn't get best lead I'll riot because that lad is nailing his performance as Clive.

I want to see an actual to goodness Dino Crisis game and I'm also curious to see the next Monster Hunter now they've wrapped up Rise/Sunbreak.

@pyrrhic_victory I keep saying it's this gen's Deep Down.

I do hope they prove me wrong, but maintaining the belief it has dissolved into dust keeps the disappointment at bay

Sensible stance with any Persona game is wait for the inevitable Golden/Royal/Complete version...

Diablo for me all weekend! Started with my traditional Mage/Sorceress/Wizard class and I'm having a blast!

Finished Tears of The Kingdom's main story and roughly 60% of the maps so a well deserved trip to hell was due (if it wasn't for FFXVI I'd be calling early goty, but we'll see)

NEAT! I'll be consuming both of these... It'll be interesting to see how much is added/expanded upon for P3R!

I'm a sucker for tactics games so P5T should be right in my wheelhouse.

Now do we get a hat trick and a Persona 6 teaser gets thrown in the mix?

My guess is that it'll be a global version of that china only P5 game.

However it is more likely a merch thing than a game... the T could be for Trousers and it is just a site to buy the Shujin Academy uniform...'s trousers.

Finished the main story for Tears of The Kingdom last night so this weekend will be dedicated to finding the 50% of the map I have yet to scour for Koroks, world bosses and Stuff!

Not yet and probably not for a while, I want to see what post launch supoort really looks like and then I might wait for a complete version in a years time.

@KaijuKaiser I work for myself and purposefully left my calendar open so I've been able to indulge (Plus a shipping error meant I got the game a few days early).

Back to the grindstone though in a week!

I'm a good 100hrs into Tears of The Kingdom, on my third Temple but I do have the Master Sword! I'll probably be playing for most of June, my goal is get as much done before ffxvi comes out.

I've said it in other threads but I'm in two minds, on one hand there were loads announced that look great but they could've been announced anywhere and in many cases would've been better announced as part of a multiplat show. On the other hand, except for SM2, the first party stuff was all samey looking PVP fluff that'll close 6-12 months after launch.

We'll never see Pragmata again, it is this generations Deep Down

I will keep saying this until proven wrong.

(I'll be happy to be proven wrong, I was really looking forward to Deep Dish!)

Been looking forward to this, but there's plenty on my plate to tide me over until next year.

It'll be interesting seeing how it fairs once the JP launch comes around. We'll be able to fully see how the monetisation and progress works.

I'm looking forward to it with a side portion of caution.

It could be an hour of banger after banger... or it could open/close strong and fill the rest of the airtime with talking heads and fluff.

@Bunchesopuppies I'm very tempted to watch the JohneAwesome run of the launch edition and then play the inevitable Golden/Royal Edition a few years later after the memory of the launch edition has become fuzzy.

Tears of The Kingdom, probably all day every day until FFXVI comes out... Also continuing with beefing up my team in Honkai Star Rail but that takes like 20 mins in the morning and 10 at night to use up all my stamina and farm for the materials I need.

My Wildcard is a reveal of GenDesigns next game... I need to know what Fumito Ueda and team have been up to?

It also looks like CyGames are re-revealing Project Awakening so that being double billed with Relink sounds good to me.

I'm also ready for that Atlus high fantasy game from the Persona peeps!

@Enuo Aye, an FFXVI demo almost exactly a month before release sounds like serendipitous timing to me. I want to say I'll be strong and not play it, but we all know we shouldn't like to ourselves.

Really looking forward to this one, although I would've preferred a third person approach rather than the first person it appears to be.

I was going to say FFXI because it is currently free... buuuut Zelda has my magatama's in her hands and she keeps on squeezing the hours out of me.

Also doing Honkai dailies because it takes a few minutes.

@Ralizah Yeah... I moved three times today after first sitting down to carry on... once for food, once for a drink refill and once for a loo break... then my 10pm* alarm had the audacity to go off just as I'd worked my back up onto The Great Plateau!

*it goes off to remind me to get any noisy night time stuff done - teeth brushing, laundry sorting and during the week it's my signal to start winding down for bed

@Agramonte Clone Wars is an amazing example of a show that grew alongside it's audience... Starts off very child focused and by the it becomes the best Star Wars has ever been.

Honkai Star Rail... It is sooooooo freaking good, I've been going pretty hard since launch and now I'm up to doing dailies and few Simulated World runs until I hit current endgame at TR40 and can start farming 5* gear.

Other than that I'm in a bit of a holding pattern waiting for Zelda to arrive.

I cannot wait to play a modern AC game, Everything here looks great! Like a lot of people I'm started to get a bit tired of the cross gen stuff, but I imagine this has been in the oven for a long time.

@GorosBat YES! Synth Metal vibe check: PASSED!

Like many others I'm elbow deep in Burning Shores goodness, think after I'm done I might go mop up some left over content in the base game... The new weapon you get in the DLC is a bit too OP and I can apparently upgrade it so nothing will stand in my way!

I'm playing it*

*I finished re-installing the game and the DLC just as I was leaving the house to go watch Renfield so it's on the docket.

Renfield was Big Dumb Fun if anyone was interested.
