Here we are, the last bunch of games for 2021 which I'm looking forward to playing the Halo Infinite Single Player and maybe Chorus which is like a dark star fox-like game. Danganronpa Decadence, is sort of tempting as well, but I own 1+2HD on PS4 and have V3 on VITA that I can just play those.



Yeah, haven't done the best of the rest, and you'll all tell me how much you're looking forward to Spider-Man or Witcher.

Nuffing.
Not even Spidey- comes out January 7th in Japan. I might have to quit youtube for a month!

Nowt here as well, so it'll be another happy month with the backlog or I'll end buying another 5 e shop games again.

I’ve got all six Evercade cartridges pre-ordered, but for all sorts of reasons I doubt they’ll have the stock to fulfil those orders. That’s probably for the best, as I don’t think that I’d want to plant £90 on the likes of (checks notes) “Battle Lane Vol. 5” and (checks notes again) “Canyon Bomber” so close to Christmas anyway. Otherwise, there’s nothing at retail for me this month.

Big Brain Academy might have been bought any other month, but the last thing I want to be arsed with at Christmas is basic arithmetic and logic skills. Christmas is for watching Pixar films with a freepour dram of malt at 11am on a Tuesday, not for cognitive development.

In a moment of madness to get free delivery when ordering the £5 Saniro Animal Crossing Amiibo cards I pre ordered Big Brain Academy despite having no real interest in it, so I guess I'm getting that. After its physical delay this month I am once again throwing my hat in for The Wild at Heart so will probably pick that up, GTA Definitive Edition however is now out of the question.

There is a chance that I'll pick up DanganRonpa, if only to play game 3 since I know the plots of 1&2. There's a larger chance it'll stew in my wishlist while I work through the many other games on said wishlist though - and Shin Megami Tensei V, which I'm expecting to acquire on Jez Christ's birthday.  

Or, to put it another way,

Is it wrong that I kinda want to try out that Smurfs game even though it's probably ass? I do like me a 3D platformer.

As soon as SMT V comes back in stock at a not silly scalper price, I'll be picking that up.

Think standard SMTV still pretty available but the fall of man edition that's just going to go up & up in price.

As FFXIV Endwalker was delayed from November to the beginning of December, I'll be jumping back into Eorzea for the first time in about 8 months to tackle the expansion. I'm supremely excited.

Other than that, nowt!

I'd be veeeeery interested to hear your thoughts on V3 if you do end up picking it up!

Would you like to hear my thoughts on DanganRonpa 3? *explosive diarrhea sounds*

It is not ass, you should buy it, everyone should buy my the game.

In theory I should buy that Sam & Max but I've yet to do more than the first episode of season 1 so I'll probably wait, likewise the new Shovel Knight could be interesting but I've not played any of the DLC for the original either.

Fuck me this is barren! I think I'll give the score thread a rest this month.

Nah you're alright. I've got enough games to last until 2024 anyway.

I thought it busy for a December, just not a lot of quality.

Sam & Max! Yasss! I really enjoyed episode one/Save The World, to the extent that it's my twelfth favourite Switch game, so I'll be jumping on that day one.

...WHY IS NOBODY ELSE EXCITED

Not a fan of the Ess Emm Tees, Jay? Would have thought they'd be your sort of thing: edgy JRPGs. (I realised belatedly that SMTV was last month, but you didn't post in last month's thread so the question's still valid.)

Nah, it's never been a series that's grabbed my attention. It all seems a bit too bleak and po-faced and lacks the charm and human quality that its sub-series, Persona, has in spades.

Plus, my RPG time will be solely dominated by FFXIV in about two days so there's that too.

Took me until "Persona" to realise you weren't talking about Sam & Max

That famously bleak and po-faced series about the cartoon rabbit and dog.

"What mattered the most was remembered the least, Sam"

"You crack me up little buddy"

..I could actually see that being an exchange.

Jan will go up on Boxing Day. Maybe you'll spot something coming in Jan to use the Xmas money on, like a sports game or a new controller, or maybe even something for Mas birthday on the 28th like that Pokémon game.

Name ideas as always please.

Happy birthday to multiple Legends this January!

...shame, what's that?
