Good month. I'll be picking up:

  • Sonic Mania (Switch)
  • Mario + Rabbids
  • YAKUZA MOTHERFUCKING KIWAMI FUCK YEAH
Also crossing my fingers for a surprise Hollow Knight release on Switch this month. I'll live if it doesn't make it though.

Apologies, i didn't know indie games were considered quality titles all of a sudden :)

No worries, this is not considered a quality OP so you can arbitrarily post whatever the fuck games you like and no one will care :)

The Way is a better game than anything you've so prettily listed in the OP though, with the possible exception of Matterfall.
 
August is fucking insane, way worse than October IMO.

OP, you're missing quite a few games though. Thimbleweed Park (PS4), Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition (PS4/XB1) and Last Day of June (PS4) from my interests.

Definitely
Life Is Strange - Before the Storm
Patapon Remastered
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (already pre-ordered via Season Pass)
Undertale
Yakuza Kiwami

Maybe
Everybody's Golf
Hellbade Senua's Sacrifice
Last Day of June
Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition
Thimbleweed Park
 
PC ports.. PC ports everywhere..

And wow, nothing interests me except Yakuza.

I might get Life is Strange and maybe Hellblade later.

🇮🇳 Uncharted: The Lost Legacy 👄 and 🐉 Yakuza Kiwami 🀄️ are tier 1.

Matterfall and Last Day of June are tier 2.

Yakuza will take weeks if not months to 100% so I may try tier 2 games first.

Will definitely get:

Mario Rabbids
Uncharted - The Lost Legacy
(will be for free though)

Maybe later:

Zero Time Dilemma (have to clear 999 and VLR first xD)
Life is Strange - Before the Storm (might wait until all Episodes are released)

But man, so many good games in August.
I am wondering when I might actually find the time to play all these >_<
 
Just Sonic Mania, Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition and Summon Night 6 are locks for me.

I'm on the edge about Mario Rabbids at launch. One Piece looks interesting.

Definitely Mario xcom.
Maybe Sonic and Agents of Mayhem.

I'm really surprised that there is no hype at all for Agents of Mayhem. It looks like a lot of fun and potentially a sleeper hit.

I also wouldn't overlook 'Last Day of June', arriving 31st August.

My choices for August, besides that:

- Hellblade
- Yakuza Kiwami
- Life is Strange prequel
- Uncharted: LL (later)

Definitely a Day 1 for Sonic Mania on switch, and I'll probably end up getting Uncharted.
Other than that, not too much I'm interested in this month. If Mario + Rabbids gets good reviews I might consider getting that

This is the month of 2017 I've been waiting for!!! &#128513;

Hellblade
Life Is Strange: Before The Storm
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

Picking up Batman in December on sale like I did with the last one.

I'll probably Redbox Agents of Mayhem.

Mario+Rabbids - Kingdom Battle and Everybody's Golf for me this month.

Maybe also Uncharted - The Lost Legacy, but I'm not a big fan of Uncharted.
 
I'm so excited for The Lost Legacy :). I'm interested in many other titles, but my wallet
and my SO
will only allow one game this month.
 
Damn, that's a really solid month for the PS4. Forgot half those games were coming out so soon.

Does the Xbone seriously have just one new game coming?

I'm not trying to talk shit towards them (Xbox) but it seems like this gen they don't make a lot of noise months to months regarding games. When they release something big, it usually goes quiet shortly after, a familiar theme with a lot of the games this gen to be honest. But that's a topic for another day.

Definitely Yakuza Kiwami, maybe Matterfall, possibly Everybody's Golf.
Shadow Tactics is one of those games I like in concept but drop in play and wish it would hook me.

Pillars of Eternity Complete - XB1 for me but I just look up some Shadowtactics Blade of the Shogun and it looks like something I'd like and with the prime discount why not.
 

Dan

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
I'm super busy so not sure what I'll get to but I want:

Matterfall (pre-ordered)
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Undertale

I'm intrigued by Everybody's Golf, haven't played a golf game since the Mario GameCube one.

Also, finding time to play Pyre will be a priority.

It's not like Shinobi did much better. He often missed Xbox games too. OP is just trying to keep the tradition going!

I'm even willing to believe in a sincere mistake when you miss them for the first post, but when several people come and say "this is not true, here are some games" and you just answer "lol one dude said indie games don't count four years ago" and still don't add them... it's pretty childish.

Guess he might enjoy people driving by and saying "lol xbox one means one game only"

That narrative wouldn't change even with those games inclusion, that being said they should still be included for the sake of awareness.

Look at the poster, do you really need to ask that? It was obvious how the thread would be as soon as I saw who posted it.

It's not like Shinobi did much better. He often missed Xbox games too. OP is just trying to keep the tradition going!

Uhhh, as was pointed out throughout the thread he has missed several PS4 releases too.

Adding 3 or 4 very low-profile indies to the Xbox One list doesn't really change the fact that Xbox One is seriously lacking in exclusives, but it sounds like you guys are in denial and would rather resort to personal slights instead of acknowledging the problem. I mean, just look at the PS4 list in comparison.

Shinobi and the OP also missed plenty of PS4 games too, so clearly there's an agenda there too, right? It's almost as if trying to find a comprehensive release schedule is difficult or something.

GTFO with the console wars bullshit.
