I will likely make the switch when the new Monster Hunter game hits the PS5. That's been my M.O. for the WiiU and then the PS4. Gives me some time for the kinks to be worked out of the launch of a new console, as well as time for some first rate games to be discounted.
I'd buy into DG2 before a Syphon Filter sequel but it would be predecated on the developers making a more streamlined, focused adventure. Days Gone had some amazing thrills but it ended up becoming a chore to finish. Congratulations to Bend Studios for the commercial success regardless.
I don't typically play the grind/loot loop style of games. Monster Hunter World is the exemption and is the clear #1 on this list for me. Granted, I haven't played any other games noted so it's technically #1 by default but I ❤ that stinkin' game
I enjoyed Days Gone but it was too long. For me, a new game plus feature is always welcomed but it's much more rewarding to use the powered up character to blast through the game in a fast paced, bombastic style. Even fully upgraded, for me the game would still feel like a chore at times. One playthrough is plenty, especially considering all of the other games waiting for me to take a crack at. Still, I commend Bend Studios's efforts.
I enjoy the fun fast paced, arcade style games over the contemplative artistc stuff. I am not interested in this game unless it is something else entirely from what I expect.
@BridgeToClarity You could join someone else's SOS. You will still get credited for the fight. I do that from time to time when I'm struggling to solo and nobody is joining me.
@Splat I agree. When MH4 introduced jumping and mounting, I was skeptical at first. Now I can't envision the game without it. Clutch claw will hopefully follow suit.
Iceborne has consumed me. My apologies to my family and co-workers. My friends totally understand however. This expansion is fantastic. The customization (weapons, your room)is next level. The new monsters are cool. The new hunting mechanics ( clutch claw, tail riders etc)add so much fun to the experience. So yeah, I'm loving it.
One of my favorite games this generation. It was fun just traversing through the city. The combat felt great. Excellent writing, voice acting. And all those awesome Spidey suits to boot. Batman has always had the best comic book hero video games but this one gets Spider-man into that conversation.
Iceborne will fill my gaming time through the rest of the year. Capcom has really done an amazing job with Monster Hunter. They deserve these record breaking sales figures.
Seregios next please. Iceborne is looking excellent. I'm really looking forward to this huge expansion. The base game was released with 30 monsters on the roster. Iceborne has already announced 20 more, and Capcom isn't done yet. I will be playing MHW for the remainder of the year no doubt.
I am so excited for this. Shovel Knight is an absolute gem, especially with all of the content that was added after release. I expect another great game with Dig.
My favorite game this generation is about to get much bigger. There's a trailer with a new monster reveal at the end and the creature looks very unique for Monster Hunter. I am very excited for this!
I had mild interest in this game leading up to its release. After the negative reception, I forgot about it, convinced I would never be interested in it. And now I'm straddling the fence on whether or not to buy it. The developers have done a good job updating this game and hopes everyone that plays NMS can appreciate that effort. Miyamoto famously said that a released broken game is broken forever. Maybe NMS will be an exception.

Nice to see Minectaft up there. That game deserves some recognition 😉
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis Will Stomp to PS4 Next Year
@Knuckles-Fajita A MPT rerelease on the Switch would be sweet. I think it's still likely but perhaps it was delayed along with MP4.
