@JohnnyShoulder I had a preorder on it months ago, but get more excited with each bit of new information that comes out. The latest thing that really got me going from Sammy’s recent interview with the developer was that he emphasized Marvel’s Spider-Man is a very narrative driven game. I was worried it would be another huge open world sandbox with lots of wandering around the open world doing fun stuff, but with a weak main storyline, but the interview sounded like the narrative is the main focus. I’m getting to where I have to have a compelling story to stick with a game — especially a long open world game.
So... go for it! You know once it releases in a month you’re gonna be seeing loads of info on here and you won’t want to feel left out!
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution Ha ha you make a good case for it! Not else I can think of really interests for the rest of the year (no not even Red Dead 2) so it is very likely I will get it.
I'm also after a Special Edition, but IIRC I wasn't overblown by the spidey one.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@JohnnyShoulder I was at the store last night and I paid off my preorder for Spider-Man, and I had a few bucks left and I came close to preordering Red Dead Redemption 2, but I just couldn’t make myself do it. The more time passes, the more I’m losing the hype for it. I already have Spidey and Shadow of the TR for sure and honestly, those two plus my backlog is certainly more than I can handle for the next 6+ months. And so many large open world games, I fear the open world burn out factor (like I alluded to above). I’m not giving up on RDR2 yet, but Rockstar better show me something quick to keep me engaged and convince me it needs to move back up to the top of my list.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
In the past month, I've completed replays of Rise of the Tomb Raider and Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, as well as playing a little Star Trek Online and, this week, Hitman: Sniper Assassin.
Having put in a bunch of pre-orders now, though, my forthcoming purchase list is looking pretty in-depth, although I won't be able to play everything in release order so it'll make my backlog look a little messy as time marches on. Also, despite thinking I wouldn't want it if it were released, I think I'll be getting and playing Mafia III on PS Plus, so my lists now stand as follows.
Backlog for August 2018:
The first two missions, and a mid-point mission, in Mass Effect Andromeda
Mafia III
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (if there's time)
Upcoming Purchases:
Shenmue I & II (will immediately go to backlog)
Shadow of the Tomb Raider (play at launch)
Spyro Reignited Trilogy (will immediately go to backlog)
LEGO DC Super-Villains (play at launch)
Hitman 2 (play at launch)
Just Cause 4 (play at launch)
Team Sonic Racing (will immediately go to backlog)
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
Backlog:
Shadow of the Colossus
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Wasteland 2
Next purchases:
God of War
Dark Souls Remastered
Hitman
Well me hearties, Assassin's Creed Black Flag has sailed out of Backlogville, and Shadow of the Colossus is also down, complete with platinum. God of War is also platinumed, which means the situation now looks like this:
Backlog:
Dark Souls
Nioh (my friend has lent it me)
Okami HD (bought it impulsively, I regret nothing)
Wasteland 2
Next purchases:
Hitman
Red Dead Redemption II
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
1. Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth
Still yet to play. God of War took longer than I thought and I doubt I'll have time before Dragon Quest XI is released. This will have to wait until next year now!
2. Wolfenstein: The New Order
CURRENTLY PLAYING and should be finished within the next few days.
3. Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix COMPLETED
Not done too badly actually, with almost two games down!
New List thingy
Backlog!
I've decided that I will use August to clean up games so I can delete them from my hard drive and make some room for new stuff.
Next purchases/Most anticipated
1. Dragon Quest XI PREORDERED and will play at launch
2. Kingdom Hearts 3
3. Assassin's Creed Odyssey
Yet another change as I've decided against getting Spider-Man right away given its proximity to Dragon Quest. Assassin's Creed wasn't initially on my radar but I have such a fascination with Classical Greece that I will buy it if I have finished Dragon Quest in time!
Mass Effect Andromeda (been trying to finish it since release)FAILED
The Witcher 2 (had it since release in 2011)FAILED
Next purchases:
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection SUCCESS
HitmanFAILED
Sonic ManiaFAILED
...Man, I'm not good at this! My new goal is to not buy any more games until December other than SoulCalibur VI (except maybe Final Fantasy XII when it's on sale), and beat the following games:
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Final Mix (PS4)
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus (PSVita)
Street Fighter V: A Shadow Falls (the campaign mode)
Update:
My original backlog -
-Bloodborne (done)
-Persona 5 (no progress)
-Gravity Rush 2 (no progress)
My original next purchases-
-Spider-Man (purchased!)
-Shadow of the Tomb Raider (purchased!)
-Red Dead Redemption 2
New backlog -
-Shadow of the Tomb Raider (gonna finish this one first)
-Spider-Man
-Persona 5
(Now this is not counting ‘palate cleanser’ games in between. Those I can’t predict as I just choose on the fly.)
Next purchases -
-RDR 2
-Detroit Become Human
-God of War
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@beemo Yeah, I really have become more excited about Detroit. People seem to universally like it and some people have it as their GotY so far. So I don’t think I’ll wait too long to get it. I thought it was going be a luke-warm reception and only those into that genre would like it, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. So I doubt it will be in the bargain bin anytime soon.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I bought Sleeping Dogs close to launch, but never finished it. So I started over last week. And I'm enjoying it more than I did those years ago. Definitely finishing this one. Can't judge if I'm going for the Platinum as well, seems like a lot of work.
Also, I still have some unfinished business in Yakuza Kiwanis. I've finished the story, but still a lot of stuff I want to do.
My most wanted:
1) Tomb Raider Rises
2) Assassin's Creed Origins
3) Red Dead Redemption 2
What I'm most hyped for changes from week to week, but right now I can't wait to play some AAA games. So this is my list. But, if a great deal on Nioh or Nier comes along, I might just as easily pick up on that. Too many games!
New games added in 2018: 33
Games completed in 2018: 32
Platinums in 2018: 14
Backlog:
Assassin’s Creed 2 (Ezio Collection, just bought it today)
The Last Guardian
Mass Effect 3 or Shadow of Mordor
(And playing Breath of the Wild and maybe some Overwatch at the same time)
Next purchases (subject to change or playing games I already own)
Metal Gear Solid
I don’t know. I don’t want think right now lol.
Let's, got to the DLC part of AC2 and stopped.
College happened while I was playing ME3 and I never resumed.
I started SoM, but that's about it. I got MGS though.
So overall, I suck at this commitment.
The first two missions, and a mid-point mission, in Mass Effect Andromeda (er... half-done, but I'm kinda thinking I'll need to replay more, so I'd call this a failure)
Mafia III (which was great! Success!)
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (for which I said "if there's time" and, guess what, there wasn't)
However, I've also completed the story for, and am still playing, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and have purchased Shenmue I & II. I was hoping at least one of the latter would be squeezed in someplace, but given how much there is to do with Lara, I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to before the next big release on my radar (see below). I did, however, manage to start and finish Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on a whim, and messed about in Star Trek Online a little more.
Current Backlog:
New Game Plus on Hard, and a Deadly Obsession run, with Shadow of the Tomb Raider
The second mission (and probably way more) of Mass Effect Andromeda
Shenmue I & II
Upcoming Purchases:
LEGO DC Super-Villains (play at launch)
Hitman 2 (play at launch)
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy (will go immediately to backlog)
Just Cause 4 (play at launch)
Team Sonic Racing (depends on release date)
"We want different things, Crosshair. That doesn't mean that we have to be enemies."
As ever, I've been seduced by PSN sales so ended up getting more than I intended - notably Steamworld Dig 2. I also got Metal Gear Solid HD Collection after playing (and really enjoying) Metal Gear Solid.
UPDATE
Currently playing:
Dragon Quest XI
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm
Steamworld Dig 2
Dragon Quest Heroes Rocket Slime
Backlog:
1. Metal Gear Solid 2 - I will start this as soon as I finish Steamworld Dig 2
2. Crash Bandicoot 3
3. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - I would like to play this before Kingdom Hearts 3 is released. I suppose it depends on how long Dragon Quest takes me.
Next purchases!
1. Assassin's Creed Odyssey
2. Persona 3/5 Dancing All Night PREORDERED
3. Kingdom Hearts 3
The next month or so I may get a few more digital bits and bobs.

Games completed 2018: 18

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Previous backlog:
1) Sleeping Dogs - platinum
2) MGS: Ground Zeroes got all trophies I wanted!
3) Yakuza Kiwami - finished game, might pick it up again later for trophies

3) Hotline Miami 2
My most wanted:

3) [blank]
With Red Dead Redemption 2 keeping me occupied until at least 2019, there really is no point in adding something to this list.
Dragon Quest XI - still playing
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm - still playing albeit a little at a time. Making slow progress! Steamworld Dig 2 Completed Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime Completed
Backlog:
1. Metal Gear Solid 2 Completed! La-li-lu-le-lo!

3. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - Not touched

Not much change since last time. I'm still playing Dragon Quest XI. I didn't plan on buying Red Dead Redemption 2, so am now in the midst of playing that.
Currently playing:
Dragon Quest XI
Red Dead Redemption 2
Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm
Metal Gear Solid 3
Backlog:
1. Trails in the Sky Second Chapter - I haven't touched this in a few months so back to the backlog it goes until I've finished some other handheld stuff in the rotation.
2. Crash Bandicoot 3 - I still plan to play this after Naruto.
3. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance - with a couple of big games being played currently I'm not sure I will get to this before the end of the year, let alone by the time Kingdom Hearts 3 is out. We shall see!
Most Wanted:
This is unchanged since last time, although as I am currently playing Red Dead 2 I am not sure I will want to play another huge open world game so soon after, so may wait to get Assassin's Creed.
