Have Ghost of Yotei preordered for next week and Battlefield 6 preordered for the week after. Going to be a fun month.

Looks like we'll get to slash our way through BC.

I mean the past few superhero type games haven't been that good have they? So while that looks great I'm skeptical.

You need to look at more who is making it than the fact it's a superhero game.

I know Rocksteady made a dud with Suicide Squad after doing Batman but that doesn't mean Insomniac Games will with Wolverine either. You would think they would learn from Rocksteady's mistakes.

Looks like they were pretty confident about the game, reviews are out well ahead of the release date already. Looking great!

EDIT:

Japan! I can't wait, even though I expect to be disappointed by all the stuff they most likely removed or broke, like the last couple of releases.

Not sure I have the willpower to wait for Ghost of Yotei for PC despite a ton of games now to distract me.

[DownInFlames]

Of course I bought it immediately.

Pricey!

This looks amazing, but it'll need serious power to run, I bet.

[Hemi-Cuda]

I'd be interested in that if it doesn't turn into a traffic management sim like every other city builder game made in the last 20 years

Kind of like that one where you tear down ships, I always enjoyed that one I may have to give this one a try.

Got around to watching this last night, I'm excited to get it. The fact that the reviewer is exactly like me, having grown up playing the original and likes the tweaks they have done is very encouraging. I'm ready to wrap myself up in a nostalgia blanket with this game.

Also, the reviewer is clearly a Stormlight Archive fan.

That sounds suspiciously like a real city.

First it was Final Fantasy, now Playstation?

I'm happy to manage traffic as long as it actually behaves like traffic and is proportionate to the population.
