How are YOU going to handle the September games glut? - The Bear and Badger

Yossarian

Come to think of it, I kickstarted TP, so that doesn’t really count either.

I very rarely buy new games and almost never ones that seem likely to hit any backlog. The last games I bought at release were SoT, Destiny 2, Thimbleweed Park (actually, The Room 3 or 4 or W/E and Monument Valley 2 on my iPhone too). It’s just unusual that there are two full-price games that I want at release coming out so close together.

I’ll play through Halo as soon as it comes out, Horizon 4 within a Friday or two of release.

Isn't this even a stronger argument for just paying £8?!

Yossarian

I already have too much choice, and paying £8 per month will likely end up costing me more than I currently spend, so not really.

None of those games are calling to me. Maybe pick up Tomb Raider a few months after once it’s around a chalice.

And Spyro? Really? When we have Mario Odyssey

The big consoles don't, though. Besides, it's not about quality, it's about squeezing people for nostalgia dollars.

I'm talking paying £8 for one month to play them.

Yossarian

Not going to work for FNF.

Besides, I’d rather own them. There are some things I’m happy to support with my money, especially as I don’t spend that much on my hobby anyway.

I get it but big consoles have more to offer than sub tier platformers that weren’t good when originally released. But guess nostalgia is a strong draw.

Spider-Man could be great but I’m guessing it’s just the Batman game reskinned. Button bash, counter, throw etc.

Generic JRPG incarnate, Spider-man by a company whose games I've never cared for, more meh-Raider and retro-Spyro that nobody (should have) asked for - fuck that lame midget-dragon.

None of those games appeal. In fact no upcoming games are stirring les juices atm.

Might be some cool new-things at E3.... doubtful tho.

Spider-Man isn't really about punching people. There should be some sneaking about, plus there's all the swinging, which is the big draw.

Saving for when I ~~buy that detective Pikachu amiibo in the next 3 minutes~~ need it

Yossarian

I’ll get my money’s worth from these games, no doubt. In between FNF and going back and to play co-op Halo with my brother, there’s a good chance it’ll be cheaper to buy them both outright.

I've definitely not bought the detective Pikachu amiibo in the time it took you to write that.

I'm sorry but the correct term is 'disabled little person dragon'.

Actual guffaw on the bus. You're both lovely.

I guarantee there’ll be punching. And his counter will be a little blast of wrist jizz. Don’t get me wrong. Nothing bad about reskinning Batman. It worked well for Mordor. I just don’t get the hype for this game.

@indigoDos :-)

I'm handling the glut by not being interested in those games. Strats.

Of course there's punching, it just shouldn't be the focus. The hype is because swinging about as Spider-Man is fucking awesome, fuck anything else about the game.

Was totally not feeling the insomnispidermans hype but reading that the traversal system is even better than granddaddy Tobeymans 2 has awoken something deep within me.
