> We are roaring towards the final four months of the year... lots of hype, lots of games, lots of fun... but it all costs lots of money.

> What are your plans? Are there titles that you can't miss - or maybe you're just just looking to pick up one game to keep you busy? Share your thoughts here!

> The only guidelines are to please arrange your game(s) into Definitely / Probably / Maybe. Okay... lets go!

- - - - - - - - - -

I'll get things rolling by stepping up and sharing my current plans.

Definitely
> Skyrim Special Edition (PS4) - I never played the original and I'm excited to step into the adventure.

Probably
> Destiny: Rise of Iron (PS4) - I want to give Destiny a go and this feels like a good jumping on point.

Maybe
> Bioshock Collection (PS4) - Depends on if it's a basic port or a decent upgrade.
> Rise of the Tomb Raider (PS4) - 'Raider is still an attractive series for me.
> Pro Evolution Soccer 2017 (PS4) - PES is ace but I've taken a break from it... will I want to return?
> The Last Guardian (PS4) - I'm interested without really knowing why. We've seen so little even after years of hysteria.
> Watch Dogs 2 (PS4) - I enjoyed the original game but the "take down big companies by pretending you're cool" marketing of the sequel is rather wearing.
> Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (PS4) - The over-the-top launch hype always sucks me in!
> Paper Mario: Colour Splash (Wii U) - I love the styling but what about the gameplay?

I'm gonna have to work hard to ensure that only a couple of those "maybes" move up the chart.

There is absolutely nothing I'm considering for the rest of 2016, I'm thinking my next purchase might be Horizon Zero Dawn unless something cheap catches my eye.

No idea on what I may purchase for the rest of the year. I'm so back logged I'd probably not need to buy a new game for about 5 years.

Not 100% certain. I have a small backlog of games, playing through Fallout 4 (which I expect to last me several more weeks), and then to start Valkyrie Chronicles, Borderlands 2 (part of the Handsome collection) and one PSN game I bought cheap (Soma?). I'll probably pick up the R&C game, Dark Souls 3 and then if I get the GPU and RAM upgrade for my PC, have a look what is on offer for the PC.

"Maybe" will be RE4 and the Destiny DLC when cheap.

Definitely

Battlefield 1 - Not convinced about the setting just yet but Battlefield
Rythmn Heaven - one of the best mini game collections finally coming to our shores
Rez - Don't know how many times I have bought this but it won't be the last

Probably

Destiny: Rise of Iron - only if there's actually a decent end game in this one
Rise of the Tomb Raider - loved the first, make a good crimbo pressie

Maybe

Paper Mario - Nintendo's current 'just throw something together while we work on the NX' has been rampant as of late so this is firmly placed in the maybe pile. Looks lovely though.
Last Guardian - This shouldn't be in th maybe pile but after so long I don't know how this will fare.

Having edited this 3 times now, first thought was not much coming out but looking at the list now :lol: :fp:

I ordered the GotY edition of The Witcher 3. Should be on its way to me. I want to pickup Doom eventually.

The only games I'm getting for certain are Pokemon Moon and Dishonored 2. Oh and probably Rhythm Heaven. I can't really justify a lot of purchases in the next few months.

Definitely

Twilight Princess HD Amiibo box set
I really enjoyed Wind Waker HD- more so than the first time round and I want the Amiibo for LOZ: BOTW

Lego City Undercover
It's cheap enough now.

Probably

Yoshi's Woolly World Amiibo box set
The kids love Yoshi.

Pokemon Sun/Moon
Getting one of each for the twins.

Maybe

New 3DS XL, Majora's Mask, Pokemon Sun
If the NX won't run 3DS software I'll be picking these up this year.

PS4 Neo.
I'm really not sure. I'm definitely maybe getting an NX next year and the above games, plus my backlog, will take up plenty of time. Is it really worth buying a PS4 this year? Maybe next Christmas or during the inevitable post-launch NX games drought.

So far this year, I have eaten NO mince pies.

Hopefully nothing else this year. I've no interest in new games, so I'm just hoping to work through some of my retro goodies. I keep tending to buy more though when I see bargains online. Need to cut back on that.

There are a few more Nintendo Selects coming at the end of September which will keep me going for a bit - I was late to the Wii U party so I'll be picking up:

Pikmin 3
Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker

I see they will be available for about £16-£17 each so that'll do me!

Do you know much about Recore. I saw the early video quite a while back, but haven't heard or seen much since.

I've not got any definite games on my list this year, everything due to be released is a bit meh for me. Think I'm a bit burned out on hype at the moment, don't want to shell out for anything at launch anymore. Call me a cynic but games disappoint more than they delight these days.

I will however be keeping my eye on previous releases that have dropped enough in price for me to be interested...such as (and I know I'll get extra Jawa points for this) Mad Max...

I don't know how people are saying that there isn't much that interests them due over the next few months, it has to be one of the most impressive and wide ranging release schedules in the last decade.

Preezy knows. It was available for under fifteen wraps on a few occasions during past months. FAKE EDIT: Now £15.99 at Amazon.
