And hopefully Humankind as well, but I do want to see some reviews and impressions before.

Post by: Bebpo on July 27, 2021, 09:08:46 PM: Didn’t finish anything I’m playing in June outside Nier Replicant and SaGa 1, so TWEWY2 didn’t happen. Adding in FF3 pixel remaster tomorrow so if I finish stuff up by the end of August and have room to add more stuff in my current playlist I’ll play Psychonauts 2 and NMH3 in that order.

September-November is slammed so if I don’t start those in August probably won’t get to them or TWEWY2 until xmas/ny.

Have Hades physical preordered. I hate roguelikes, so I want to be able to sell it, if the "this one's different" hype is bs.
Title: Re: August 2021 Release List
Post by: Svejk on July 28, 2021, 08:50:14 AM: Pre-ordered Kena already.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite has been getting good previews of late too... Sounds like it's better off to play with a group though... :-\

And this is why I try and remind myself to quit pre-ordering games more than a week out from launch.

Ah, that sucks- (if you ignore my stupid backlog) I was going to be in a dry period for something new to play in August so I was gonna get it at launch (only $40!) but now it's launching 2 days before Diablo 2 Resurrected. Guess I'll pick it up later.

Post by: Tasty on August 08, 2021, 01:17:33 PM: Nothing in August but looking to splurge on some games from earlier this summer.

- SS HD
- NEO TWEWY
- ...maybe Game Builder Garage

They're not used to having first party games :lol
Title: Re: August 2021 Release List
Post by: Bebpo on August 08, 2021, 02:52:56 PM: I feel like nothing that's day 1 on game pass gets much marketing. It just kind of comes out and then it's free and I guess that is the marketing for selling the game at a later point?

For whatever reason game pass games increase sales for games as studies have shown. I still don't really understand that. Why would you pay for something that's free to you for at least the next 6-12 months, especially when a lot of this stuff is single player that you'll clear in a week or two, but good for the devs so not complaining.

Post by: The Sceneman on August 09, 2021, 02:41:52 AM: All these people talkin about how NMHIII has poor performance lol

- its on Switch
- fights are 60 fps so who cares
- you should try playing Yakuza Like A Dragon on an Xbox One S, sub 10fps sometimes while exploring. People need to know where they came from and tolerate ballsack performace ffs. It's not like you can buy a Series X or PS5 off the shelf easily
Title: Re: August 2021 Release List
Post by: HardcoreRetro on August 09, 2021, 03:58:07 AM: They also went back to being a smaller team cause they hated working with publishers. Travis Strikes Again was the first game since the original No More Heroes with Suda51 back in the director's seat and it absolutely shows.

Someone needs to tell Suda these callbacks to the older games are getting out of hand.

In fact, now that I think about it, the majority of titles they showed off in the PS5 launch videos are still awaiting release. This is a really slow gen so far :fbm

Amplitude's much-anticipated Humankind will launch into Xbox Game Pass on PC next week.

The 4X strategy game will finally roll out next Tuesday, 17th August
But I already bought in when it was down to $35 to play in the betas. :doge

Also:

Amplitude announced it would pull the controversial Denuvo DRM from Humankind before launch, based on data from the game's closed beta and feedback from fans.

"We've been working on this game for more than four years now and personally it's been my dream project for 25 years," Romain de Waubert, boss of Amplitude said. "That being said, our priority is always the best possible experience for the players who buy our games and support us. Denuvo should never impact player performance, and we don't want to sacrifice quality for you guys."
