Anyone else halting/slowing down their purchases this year?

[Zoltor]

Nope, don't care for those. Shenmue is definitely NOT my game.

I'm more a military shooter/action RPG a'la Witcher 3, Diablo 3, Grim Dawn dude.
That and old school RTS like C&C (Generals is my jam) and Act of War.
That and I'm on PC. (Dont own or want a console)

Hm ok.

Not even interested in a Switch(a lot of PC purists are even buying Switchs) ? There's actually a couple of Diablo clones listed in the coming up section in the eshop atm.

If you're going strictly stay PC, you should keep a eye on Stardock, they do a lot of games in the strategy realm.

Wow really? What about Shenmue 3, Bloodstained, FE, ect.

What genres do you like?

I'll probably just be going with Mechwarrior 5 this year. The pre-order bonus for MW5 is like 4x the value for me (in Mechwarrior Online stuff) due to my account being a founder and I still play that game a lot so I don't see any real loss even if the game comes out in a crude state. They are still promising full mod tool so even if MW5 bombs the modders are pretty eager to do work on it so it'll probably turn out fine one way or the other. A lot of salty veterans hating on the developer, but I don't really feel the same way as they do.

I'll definitely grab both Dooms when I have more time.

I was planning on having a chill year as far as games go but my pre-order list says different!

Days gone
Rage 2
The last of us part 2
Doom Eternal
Pillars of Eternity 2
Bio Mutant
Resident Evil 2
Cyberpunk 2077
Metro Exodus
Ghost of Tsushima

No project interests me right now so yes, I'll be holding my purchases. Goes double for companies who are just losing touch and making terrible decisions.

No, not really. The Switch is getting so many awesome game, and even if the PS 5 gets a lot of the stuff, I would still rather play such on the Switch anyway. If the PS 5 is 100% "true BC", I may hold off buying the few PS 4 exclusives I want, until I get a PS 5, otherwise nah, don't see a reason to really hold off on buying games.

[ReWired]

Yep--It's time to play through the backlog.

[Lars]

I'm going to buy The last of us II for sure. Other than that I have no plans yet.

[Lehran]

I have a large backlog and not many new games to look forward to outside of Yoshi and the RE4 release on the switch. This year is probably going to be a lot of indie games coming to the switch physically and building up the retro collection for me.

[isturbo1984]

This year? lol. No. I've finally cycled my gaming schedule into a yearly thing that runs like clockwork to maximize play time, money spent and good games exposure. Aside from two, maybe three day one purchases, I'm saving everything for Black Friday.

[WickedWolf]

As you can probably tell by my profile pic, DMC V is a must buy for me. RE2 remake as well probably. Nothing else really catches my eye at this point, and I have a huge backlog to get through anyway. So yes, I think I’m slowing down (for now,) this year.

[Clyde Frog]

I always wait on new consoles. I didn't get a ps3/ps4 until 2 years after each release. I just can't justify buying consoles at full price on release. The only game I've bought at full retail in the last few years is RDR2. The only one I plan on buying in the near future is The Last of Us 2, I wait for GOY's or good sales on everything else. I've got plenty of other systems and PC to keep me busy while waiting.

PriestTroit The what?? Thats a price-performance chart (according to Tomshardware data)

[Ryan]

Not a bad idea now that those releases are becoming clockwork.
