lol i didn't realize agents of mayhem is releasing so soon. That game is going to bomba hard isn't it?

Oooh... That means quick price drop, so I can justify getting it while trying to clear my backlog.

 

[Brandon F]

Are those Van Helsing games good? I like the vibe but it also looks sorta generic.

I love how it rips off Solomon Kane's gun-wielding Puritan design like the Universal movie did, despite every other incarnation of the character being an old professor. I guess when a character is in the public domain you can just go crazy?

Competent but generic as you think. Lots of customization, a big quest to Diablo-click your way through, and the expected loot drops and gear manipulation. Plays well enough with a controller, but it really is missing something that is hard to describe.

Oh and you run about with a friendly lady-ghost that loves to argue and cajole a rise out of VH. you can customize her for combat assistance or passive support with her own skilltree. It takes many liberties with the character.

Just started Arkham City last night and I bought Mankind Divided when it was on sale this week. The next game I'll buy will probably be Dragon's Dogma?

 

[Bulbasaur]

Man you guys are obviously not familiar with the weekly shenanigans on the Nintendo eshop.

 

[McStickenstein]

Matterfall is coming and I ain't even played Nex Machina.

 

[GeoramA]

And next week is Uncharted. Then Yakuza the week after...phew.

 

[WillySJ3]

Matterfall is coming and I ain't even played Nex Machina.

Stop whatever you're doing, buy it and play it.

 

[Fright Zone]

I didn't even know Cities Skylines was coming to PS4!
I bought it on Mac years ago but never played it as I don't game on my Mac.
Might pick it up at the right price.

Undertale releasing on Vita this week too?

 

[Suburban Thug]

Never played Undertale so I think I'll snag it on Tuesday

 

[cj_iwakura]

OP, I think you mean the best week of the year. It's the week with Sonic Mania.

And Night Trap.

 

[RumbleHumble]

I know Agents of Mayhem probably won't review well, but...

I really want Agents of Mayhem to review well.

 

[OuterLimits]

good month for sort of strategy or management PC titles on PS4....

Cities this week, next week we get Darkest Dungeon Crimson Court, week after that is XCOM 2 expansion.

too bad Cities on PS4 doesn't come with that Snowfall DLC. wonder if it'll get that even in a timely fashion

PS4 has at least a few strategy games. Stuff like Tropico, Grand Ages, Nobunaga's Ambition and Romance of the 3 Kingdoms. It's not much compared to PC, but better than nothing.

 

[SuperPac]

I know Agents of Mayhem probably won't review well, but...

I really want Agents of Mayhem to review well.

I expect a situation where it gets good reviews (7s/8s) but the audience is completely apathetic to its existence. I would like to be wrong, because the game looks ACE to me. But there's been a lot of pre-judging here and in the Maybe thread. :'(

 

[OléGunner]

And next week is Uncharted. Then Yakuza the week after...phew.

UC TLL is after next week though on 22nd.
So Yakuza is basically right the following week.

I'll blaze through Lost Legacy in 5-6 days then dive straight into Yakuza.

The actual gameplay of it looks like it could be really solid, and the devs have been trying their damnedest to sell the thing. It has some real potential. But when I listen to podcasts complaining about the game thinking Bieber jokes are still relevant, I get kinda worried.

 

[CrocoDuck]

Hey I hope this isn't off topic. I want to buy the psychical version of Undertale on the Vita. It's not listed on Amazon but on some gaming site called Fangamer. Is it reliable to buy from these guys?

 

[Karak]

Damn! Rutger Hauer voicing the main character. Think I'm in.

Some gameplay here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u30FuVgQlgg

Ya playing it now for review. Was stoked to hear his voice

 

[MCD250]

Wow, didn't realize Sonic was dropping now. Might cop.

 

[stargateheaven]

I kinda screwed myself really at the end of the month, yakuza and everybodys golf out at the same time. lol. but i did buy them anyway.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

im having fucking withdrawals this whole year sucks, time that i decide not to buy/pre-order games like in the past years they cant stop coming

 

[Suburban Thug]

Do you guys think I should go ahead and preorder Yakuza from my local GameStop or should I be able to just walk in and grab it? Not sure what the demand will be or how many copies will ship...I just hate preordering on principle.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Time to see what all the fuss around Undertake was about.

 

[RecRoulette]

Fuck, Nidhogg 2 releases next week? I already pre-ordered Sonic Mania and Undertale and was about to pick up Pyre...maybe I can put Pyre off for another week.

 

[Oneself]

Matterfall for me this week. It's been pre-ordered since E3.

Then Uncharted and Redout and...

 

[adj_noun]

All this new stuff and here I am going OOOOOH Night trap

 

[OneLessIcon]

Definitely in for Observer (but I'll grab it on Xbox). I know Layers of Fear was a miss for some people, but I absolutely loved it.

 

[arturo2666]

Did not know about the Pillars of the Earth game until now. Had always been interested in trying out the books but this might be a good way to experience the story. Looks like it's Deponia devs, so moderate assurance of quality then?

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Oh sht didn't realize matterfall was so soon!

Yeah. Fuck. Might be the first housemarque game I haven't bought on D1...

 

[Brandon F]

Only knew Sonic was dropping next week, had no idea that Night Trap and Undertale joined it. Those three are certainty's for me.

The rest I am less certain about, but it is getting crowded. Definitely entering an expensive quarter.

 

[Scuffed]

I played Van Helsing on pc and it's really good.

 

[CanUKlehead]

Excellent candidates...

...for PS+ in a few months, for me.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Just finished Uncharted 4 and Crash Trilogy, so to avoid going insane trying to get all the relics on the latter, I'm going to grab Sonic Mania (really came out of nowhere huh?) and Undertale.

I really want Agents of Mayhem to be good, but will wait on reviews and maybe a slight price drop.

 

[FallenGrace]

Is it a fantasy series? I know nothing about it till it was listed in this thread.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Of all of those I think two or three are games I'd buy, so it's really like any other PSN month.

That's a single week.

 

[phantasmic_glaive]

Wow.. ok, I'm in for nidhogg 2 and undertale... Matterfall is automatic.

 

[Regolego]

Long wait for Nier price-drop...

 

[KirbKirb30]

That Matterfall logo looks awfully similar to Titanfall...

 

[JSoup]

Is that...is that a Paranormal Activity game?
Along side Nighttrap?
Dis gunna be gud.

 

[Relix]

Hopefully Cities runs well on PS4

 

[ghibli99]

Definitely in for Matterfall. Will be getting Sonic Mania on Switch. Getting Undertale PS4, but in physical form via Fangamer.

 

[Brandon F]

I think Paranormal Activity is VR, at least it was on Steam I think?

 

[xxracerxx]

Mother fuckin' Undertale is all I need.

 

[arturo2666]

Is it a fantasy series? I know nothing about it till it was listed in this thread.

More historical fiction than fantasy to my understanding (which is limited). Takes place in the 12th century and people get up to some medieval shenanigans. I think the story spans multiple generations.

EDIT: Here's a video of some gameplay from Polygon. Art looks nice.

 

[ShabbadooJr]

In order of excitement
1. Agents of Mayhem
2. Matterfall
3. Sonic Mania
4. Nidhogg 2

Picking up all 4 next week. Good thing I have time off soon.

 

[kunonabi]

Just night trap for me. Not interested in the rest at all.

 

[Suburban Thug]

Never got an answer to my question so I guess I'll preorder 😢

 

[ThisOne]

Is Tokyo 42 any good? Hard to find impressions here on GAF. Doesn't even look like there was an OT.

 

[phantasmic_glaive]

Do you guys think I should go ahead and preorder Yakuza from my local GameStop or should I be able to just walk in and grab it? Not sure what the demand will be or how many copies will ship...I just hate preordering on principle.

If you want that steel book preorder

 

[Cornbread78]

Another week? C'mon now, PSN is always slow af.. Such a shit service that you have to pay for now..

Spoiler

lol, This year has been insane with releases! Love it!

I've not heard of that game before, according to that video it's a Daedalic Entertainment release so I suppose I'll have to buy it at some point. I've been buying all their stuff as its been released on PS4 so I'm pleased to see another game of theirs being released.
