The first four months of 2017 are crazy packed...

Is Sea of Thieves coming out in the first 4 months?

Looks like a great line up for Xbox, PC and PS fans! WOOT!

Sea of Thieves doesn't have any date confirmed as of right now, sadly.

And don't forget Nintendo ;)

I wouldn't buy any of these at full price, if anything I will wait for price drops on Mass Effect: Andromeda and Tales of Berseria.

5 of the 8 games you just mentioned interested me with two of the games being a wait and see reviews. Exclusives are just exclusives and don't really bother me. I mean yeah I own an xbox but even from a general game perspective not much is coming out and I have a PC as well.

Games I'll be getting at launch

• Tales of Berseria
• Zelda
• Persona
• Dragon Quest Heros 2
• NIOH

• Yakuza 0 (PS4)
• Resident Evil 7 (PS4, Xbox One, PC)
• Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4)
• NINTENDO SWITCH
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch, Wii U)
• Poochy and Yoshi's Wooly World (3DS)
• ARMS (Switch)
• 1-2-Switch (Switch)
• NieR Automata (PS4, PC)
• Mass Effect Andromeda (PS4, Xbox One, PC)

The ones I bolded out are my list of must buys .. The other ones I'm interested in but still don't know if I will buy them or not.

Not everything on your list is a major release and is worth mentioning, however, your point is still valid, it's a crowed Q1 and early Q2. Expect tactical delays for 6 weeks-6 months that have become common for "polish", as publishers try to get a good launch week/month with less competition.

You forgot about Yooka-Laylee! Definitely one of my most anticipated games of the year.

@bowserjr123: Added!

There are a lot of releases... pretty crazy first few months!

Don't forget the Kingdom Hearts HD I.5 + II.5 ReMIX on March 28. Sure, it's a compilation, but what will be great about this release is 60fps Kingdom Hearts gameplay and the opportunity to play all those games via Remote Play which is something I hadn't considered until this morning. It's a purchase for me.

Took some games off the list that I'll consider, too, like Mass Effect, South Park, Horizon, RE7, ARMS, and yeah.

Unless I have a new job and money soon, I will have to delay buying anything video game-related for some time.

Phantom Dust? not canceled?

ARMS™!!!!!!!!!!

It's just a remaster/remake

Indeed, the only game of that whole list I might actually buy...

I see through your stealth smear campaign...

That's a bit of a stretch with games like Zelda and Persona 5 on there, but Yooka will definitely be dope. It's great to finally see another open world platformer back in play.

It's gonna be expensive. Problem is I won't have time to play them. Will ask a day off for when the Switch arrives.

Wait, I just realized- nah, never mind, I don't want the thread to go in that direction lol

lol

@freedomfreak: Legit curious, after your bad experiences with 3DS and Wii U launches, why're you ponying up for Switch at launch too? I mean, I'm a filthy whore so me doing it makes sense, but I always figured you'd be better with self restraint and shit :p

@charizard1605: Tradition, I guess. How wrong they get it, I'll always end up getting their console. Weary of their handhelds though.

I can say I'm not picking up their next handheld, because I probably will, anyway. Stupidity on my part, but at least I can give it an honest go.

@freedomfreak: Ah, fair enough.

I'm not actually sure there will be a new handheld at this point, though- I think the Switch is both.

Only interested in this:

• Resident Evil 7 (PS4)
• Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4)
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U)
• Gravity Rush 2 (PS4)

Not that impossible to pick up, it is more impossible for me to have time for them. These days i like more watch HBO/Netflix than gaming.

I am at chapter 8 in Final Fantasy 15, i am not in the mood to return to finish it up atm since i do all hunts/sidequests before mainstory and that feels boring compared to play some multiplayer with some friends in diablo3 or watch TV-series:P

Will not get any new game until i finished Final Fantasy 15 so yeah that may take some time...

For me,

1. Legend of Zelda BoW

2. South Park

Both Day 1 purchases for me.

At some point I'd like to purchase Kingdom Hearts since I never played it.

Steep is pretty fun though. Unless you are complaining about the fact its already out on most systems.

doesn't deserve to be compared to Ryse at any rate

I just heard about Tekken 7 port being delayed until June. That's too bad. On the bright side, it kind of clears up the first half of the year in terms of budget.

The games I'll be getting for sure are:

Nioh

Gravity Rush 2 (still meaning to get it)

Nier Automata

With the money I was going to use for Scalebound, I am considering maybe getting Persona 5.

I am also considering the Dark Souls 3 DLC, but with Nioh, I might actually not even bother with Dark Souls 3 any more.

just mass effect andromeda for me.

For Honor, Horizon, Nioh, Mass Effect, South Park... maybe Ghost Recon for co-op. The rest can wait a while.

Those are the only games on that list I don't plan to get at all.

The only ones I'm really interested in from that list are Mass Effect (of course), Halo Wars 2, Yooka-Laylee, Phantom Dust & maybe For Honor. The rest, meh.

Yeah but I would need a Switch for that, and Persona 5 really isn't interesting to me. This is all depends on a persons taste of course

Goodbye hard earned money. :P

I'll get Resident Evil 7 (Maybe) and Sonic Mania. There isn't that much of interest to me thankfully.

Nothing I'm really looking forward to on that list.

Only thing I'm even remotely excited for is the Darkest Dungeon DLC and RDR2.

Yup, so many games that it has me rethinking my Switch preorder. I really want one, but there are so many games releasing without the need for a new console. Decisions, decisions.

PS4 has:

• KH 1.5 + 2.5
• KH 2.8
• NiOh
• Yakuza 0
• Horizon ZD
• Gravity Rush 2
• Nier: Automata
• Digimon World: TNO
• Persona 5

PC has:

• Resident Evil VII
• Mass Effect Andromeda
• South Park The Fractured But Hole
• Ghost Recon Wildlands
• Phantom Dust (Play Anywhere)
• For Honor
• Halo Wars 2 (Play Anywhere)

3DS has

• Monster Hunter XX
• Dragon Quest VIII
• Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World

X1 has

• Halo Wars 2 (Play Anywhere)
• Phantom Dust (Play Anywhere)

Switch has

• Switch Console
• Legend of Zelda BotW
• Super Bomberman R
• Arms
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
• Disgaea 5
• Snipperclips

Misc

• Sonic Mania (not sure where I am playing it yet)
• Yooka Laylee

Highlighted games are likely to be day 1 or soon after

All games I am interested in, but this is over a years worth of gaming for me right here. That is a crazy 4 months. Most of these will probably wait for a big price drop before I purchase them.

that depends, there's people who've actually enjoyed Ryse as well lol. Personally, i consider both mediocre at best. Steep is the kind of games that could be enjoyable for an hour, anything more and its 'too much'.

Launch:

• Halo Wars 2 (Xbox One, PC)
• Horizon: Zero Dawn (PS4)
• NINTENDO SWITCH
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Switch, Wii U)
• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Switch)
• Super Bomberman R (Switch)
• Persona 5 (PS4, PS3)

Near Launch:

• Nioh (PS4)
• Yooka Laylee (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC)
• Sonic Mania (PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC)

Passing interest, might jump on for a sale price:

• Kingdom Hearts 2.8 HD (PS4)
• Kingdom Hearts 1.5+II.5 HD Collection (PS4)
• Gravity Rush 2 (PS4)
• NieR Automata (PS4, PC)
• Digimon World: The New Order (PS4)
• ARMS (Switch)

Backlog about to triple...

Mass Effect Andromeda - PC

Horizon - PS4

Ghost Recon Wildlands - PC

Scalebound - Dreamcast

(after watching AngryJoe) Yakuza 0, probably wait a few months to see if a PC version materializes.

It's going to be another great year for games. :)

I hope I can keep up! There is a huge quantity of games I am interested in.

I found out that Tekken 7 comes out on June 2nd.

Scalebound getting canned means no games for lems.

• Resident Evil 7 (already bought)
• Nioh
• Horizon: Zero Dawn
• NieR Automata
• Mass Effect: Andromeda
• Zelda (probably later this year alongside MariO if I get a Switch)
• maybe Yakuza 0
• maybe Persona 5

All on PSQuad, except for Zelda of course.

give me a break

you all bitch about lack of diverse games, and bitch when they come on xbox regardless.

cows are so funny, they talk about the Xbox more than the PS4.

also didnt you have a meltdown a few months ago and jumped ship?

Mass Effect is the only one I'm getting.

Nioh, Persona 5, Nier 2, Tales, Yakuza 0, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and many other 3rd party games are skipping the Xbone. No games for you.

@Zero_epyon: @charizard1605: Funny you bring up char's smear campaign, Zero. I actually saw it a few posts before where he said Phantom Dust was JUST a remake/remaster. Trying to downplay it. No I'm not kidding. It's pretty sad. But you're both cows af. I accept that.

@NathanDrakeSwag: don't care for any of those at all.

Don't like Japanese games.

@primorandomguy: Phantom Dust is just a remake though. They canned the new one and decided to just give the original a fresh coat of paint instead.

@NathanDrakeSwag: I know. As I never got to play the original, as I'm sure several others didn't either this is a nice addition to the X1 library.

Um..It was a joke don't take it personal lol. First off, why do you think I'm a cow? You do know I've owned MS consoles before and I have a gaming PC and a WiiU right? I skipped MS this gen, so that makes me a cow?

Second, I thought lems frowned upon remakes and remasters? So what did Char say that was so bad?
