How many full priced games do you plan to purchase this year?

[kmfdmpig]

Probably zero. Gamepass has plenty of content for me and I may buy a few games on sale here and there, but doubt I'll pay full price for anything when GPU gives me an ongoing backlog (all Yakuza games on there, for example as I'm part way through Kiwami 1 and 2 and still have the other 5).

 

[Mandelbrot]

• Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
• Skyward Sword HD
• Pokemon Diamond/Pearl remake (if available and good)
• Wind Waker HD / Twilight Princess HD (if available)

 

[R2RD]

Monster hunter rise if there is a PC version. Waiting is always better since not only you can get the game cheaper but also with patches you can get a better experience than you would get at launch.
A recent example for me is Ghost of tsushima which received an update that made Loadouts available in the game. I could not imagine playing the game without it cause I like changing my equipment a lot.

Edit: the reason I make an exception with MH is cause I'll probably be playing that game for the next year so waiting is not really needed.

 

[Kill3r7]

I haven't bought anything at MSRP in ages. There are always discounts on digital cards and waiting until the holiday sales means you can pickup this years best games for $20-30.

 

[DarkTom]

Probably none, Game pass is there.

There is a little chance I buy Mass Effect Trilogy and Fifa 22.

 

[Jeronimo]

Without knowing the release calendar, I'll go with less than 5 . Borrowing some from previous posters:

Returnal
Hollow Knight: Silksong
God of War/Horizon
NBA 2K

 

[Z-Brownie]

None. I do have interest in games releasing this year, but none that i would pick at full price.

 

[LuigiMario]

Definitely will buy or already bought

• Mario 3D World
• Mario Golf

Strong Maybes

• Skyward Sword HD
• New Pokemon Snap

Games I would buy if not for GamePass

• Halo Infinite

Honestly looking like a pretty light year for me, if I buy a new console it will be a Series S or Series X which will be a GamePass box, no next gen console yet. I plan on playing quite a bit of retro stuff this year and investing in some flash carts though, I'm getting a retro setup together next month at my new house.

 

[Vito]

Resident Evil Village.

God of War 2 is not coming this year, no way.

 

[psilocybe]

So far it will be Resident Evil and COD.

I'm challenging myself to buy way, way, way less games and actually play them. And replay the good ones.

 

[TaterTots]

Adding Diablo 2 to the list.

 

[Deleted member 59261]

Only one, and that is if GoW Ragnarok gets released this year.

 

[Addleburg]

Probably just one: Back 4 Blood

 

[Wispmetas]

Bravely Default 2 and Nier Replicant are the only ones so far.

 

[King Dodongo]

Definitely:

BD2
MHRise
MHS2
NMH3
Rune Factory 5
Neo the world ends with you
SMTV

Waiting

GnG (physical version)
Skyward Sword (some worthy changes)
BOTW2 (If it releases this year lol)
SMT III (if they have the issues corrected in the physical version)

 

[reKon]

Probably none.

Noooooo..... don't give 2K more money!

Edit: Their 2021 2-part release was such a BS. And next gen version just isn't that great either.

 

[Stuggernaut]

None. I don't game enough to justify full price purchases anymore. Plus, there is not a game anywhere out there or on the horizon that I simply MUST have.

Add to that I still have a TON of content to play through on PSNow & Stadia, along with the rest of my backlog and I am set for a LONG time.

 

[Deleted member 2809]

Nothing planned, silksong if it releases I guess. Only bought H3 so far.
Also lol elden ring isn't releasing

 

[Jeronimo]

I play the parts I enjoy and avoid the BS, plus it's literally the only game in town.

 

[dragonflys545]

Resident Evil 8
Ratchet & Clank
God of War Ragnarok
Horizon Zero Dawn : Forbidden West
Mario Golf

These are definite day 1 games for me.

 

[Obi Wan Jabroni]

Depends on what actually gets released this year. I'm expecting delays on some of these bigger games but I'm happy to be wrong.

It is indeed. Still, giving 2K $70 on release is just .... I will bite at $20 or used. Bought yearly releases till 2021 version myself.

 

[_Rob_]

I do not know whether Psychonauts and Clive n Wrench will be full price (will the latter in its retail form, _Rob_ ?). Those are the only game I plan to buy on or around launch day that are currently announced for 2021. A new Sonic game is probably due 2021 though and I will buy that day 1.

Depends on your definition of "full priced", but certainly not AAA prices! Standard physical edition is up for pre-order at £34.99, presently.

 

[Sword Familiar]

Haven't really thought about it, so I'm gonna go for "none" right now. I'll probably just buy games at a reduced price point/used games.

Thanks, not full price then in the context of this thread (but a planned day one purchase if I am "free" at the time of release).

 

[DaCocoBrova]

0. I no longer see the point.

 

[coughlanio]

• Ratchet & Clank
• The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

I...can't really think of anything else...
