2nd half of the year is stacked: what are you buying?

SEPTEMBER
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – Mars
Spider-Man
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy

OCTOBER
Soul Calibur VI
Red Dead Redemption 2

DECEMBER
Tales of Vesperia (already preordered)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Spidey
Kiwami 2
Forza Horizon 4 and X1X

Destiny, Spiderman and Smash Bros. Everything else I don't have much interest in. And I just don't have the time to invest in tons of games anymore, I am more selective now a dahs

Octopath, Xeno 2 dlc, Pokemon Lets Go and Smash Ultimate.

September -
Spyro
Spiderman

October -
Red Dead 2

November -
Tomb Raider Black Friday Sale

RDR2 and Hitman 2 are all I care about in that list. Can't wait to steal some horses and assassinate some jerks

Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Spider-Man. That's...basically it. Nothing else of note coming out any time soon thanks to KH3 getting delayed to next year.

Nothing for me. I'll check out Red Dead Redemption 2 when it gets cheap or I get a free Gamefly month.

I'd strongly disagree that it's stacked tbh

July - Maybe Captain Todd?

August - We Happy Few is illegal in Australia, so nothing

September - Spider-Man if it gets great reviews. Valkyria Chronicles 4 for the Switch.

October - Mega Man 11. Red Dead Redemption 2 only if Rockstar quits their shitty treatment of women and LGBT people in their games - so probably not.

November - Pokemon Let's Go might be a comfort food game.

December - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate!

I must say - I'm worried this will be a bad year for games overall. I only really have 3 games in my GOTY list right now (Celeste, God of War, Into The Breach), and I'm not seeing much I'm interested in.

AC: Odyssey might be the only thing I get.

Fallout 76

Wait for price drop:
Octopath traveler
Divinity 2

Those are my main choices and top priority for now through the end of the year. Spider-Man is the only one I currently have on pre-order though.

I might eventually pick up Super Mario Party, Fallout 76, and Just Cause 4 but those depend highly on how they review.

Unsure about Fist of the North Star, Hitman 2 & Shenmue 1&2.

Spyro: Reignited Trilogy
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC
Code Vein

OCTOBER
Megaman 11

Gonna have to think about which games I'm gonna buy Day One in September, but other than that, the rest of the year doesn't hold much of interest for me.
And I'm fine with that. I need some time to catch up.

Will rent
Spiderman ps4 ( big fan of spiderman 2 but i dunno something about this game feels off )
And Soul Calibur 6 ( loved soul calibur 2, last one i played )
Red Dead redemption 2 ( never played Red dead redemption but i hear its good. Usually GTA games bore me after few hours so i dunno )

will get
Megman 11 ( maybe not day 1 but it looks really nice )
Smash bros Ultimate ( day 1 Love this series )

Curious about but not sure if i'll bite yet, Need more footage/info
Pokemon Lets go Pikachu ( i liked pokemon growing up but grew out of it and this game looks kinda fun but i'm afraid they really made it casual and the more i hear about this game the more i get dissappointed.

Definitely:
Octopath
Kiwami 2
Valkyria 4
WoW: BFA
Sen no Kiseki IV
Smash Bros. Ultimate

Shibuya 428 whenever that is.

Compared to the amount of shit I bought last year, this year is probably the slowest year for me in a decade.
Everything else is kinda just meh, and generally 2018 has been a bad gaming year overall for me outside of those shown above.

2019's first quarter alone already eclipses the entirety of 2018 for me, if the dates we already know of stick.

Octopath, Dragon Quest, Xenoblade DLC, Pokémon and Smash are the main ones for me.

I'll likely get Spider-Man and Spyro next year when they're cheaper.

Spider-man, Yakuza Kiwami 2 and Hitman.

Maybe Red Dead 2

Not as much frankly:

JULY
Octopath Traveller
Megaman X Collection

SEPTEMBER
Dragon Quest XI

OCTOBER
Megaman 11
Super Mario Party?
Red Dead Redemption 2?

DECEMBER
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

+

The World Ends With You
SNK 40th Anniversary Collection
Shenmue 1 + 2
Tales of Vesperia (if it comes out this year)

Day one : Spider-Man, Fallout, DQ XI

1 month after at 30€ (used game) : AC Odyssey

Wait & see : RDR2 (I wait for gameplay trailer like they did for RDR because the trailers were meh, not hype at all, it looks the same)

Shadow of Tomb Raider, I will buy it at 10€ max as used games when I will find it because I didn't like the temporary exclusivity they did with Rise

For me, only Tomb Raider, Spider-Man, and Spyro. I'm not sure if I'll dip into any other games on Playstation, but yeah just those three for now. Might try to get Assassin's Creed and Lego DC Villains for Christmas though, but they're absolutely not day one's for me.

With Game Pass I already have so much to play. But the titles that I will likely pick up are:

Divinity Original Sin 2
We Happy Few (hopefully this comes to Game Pass)
Red Dead Redemption
Fallout 76 (this one is a maybe)

Wait wait wait. We have that. Is it confirmed? I literally didnt see any news about this. Omooo *insert surprised emoji*

Day one:
Yakuza Kiwami 2
Dragon Quest XI
Spider-Man
Red Dead Redemption 2

But somewhere down the line though, I'll definitely end up buying these too:
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – Mars
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy
Valkyria Chronicles 4
Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Hitman 2

It's pretty insane how packed September/October are and we only have a brief break before the February-pocalypse.

JULY
Sonic Mania Plus

AUGUST
Yakuza Kiwami 2

SEPTEMBER
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of An Elusive Age
Spider-Man
Valkyria Chronicles 4
Zone of The Enders: The 2Nd Runner M∀Rs


OCTOBER
Megaman 11
Soul Calibur VI

All physical on PS4. Second half of the year looking very strong. Still on the fence about Fallout 76 and Red Dead 2.

Nothing, gotta save money for the insanity that Early 2019 will be.

JULY
Octopath Traveller

SEPTEMBER
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC

DECEMBER
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

There.

Smash im not 100% on.
If my backlog is light then i probably will, but otherwise I may pass for a later date.

My PS4 wishlist is backward looking as I recently got a Pro. So im looking at GoW, Bloodborne to go along with Uncharted 4 and Horizon.

Red Dead 2 is top of my list. Also definitely getting Spiderman, Dragon Quest, Assassin's Creed, and Octopath Traveler (also the Shenmue remasters assuming it's coming this year). I may also get Valkyria Chronicles 4 depending on how I'm doing money-wise. Fallout: 76 is a possibility. I have it pre-ordered as of now and we'll see how the beta goes, but it will have to pretty fucking stellar for me keep it. And I'll probably double dip on Divinity Original Sin 2 if they enhance it for the X.

edit: and I'd probably get Tales of Vesperia if it releases this year.

I'm buying a Xbox One S and grabbing game pass to play Forza Horizon 4. I'll be buying Red Dead Redemption and Fallout 76. Nothing else interests me.

Octopath
Kiwami 2
Spyro when it's on sale
Spiderman
Fist of the North Star
Mega Man
Pokemon
Smash

Probably just Spyro from that list. I should have enough Bing rewards credits to get it right when it releases.

Otherwise I'm just plugging away on Games with Gold titles.
