[vaibhavpisal]

Helldivers 2

Grounded 2. Will try this. Probably will wait for full release.

 

[Sakura]

I might get SRW if impressions are good.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[FoxMcChief]

Quite a few actually.

 

[clarky]

POE2 update at the end of the month.

DK
Ninja Gaiden.
Hopefully a Battlefield 6 Beta.

 

[Little Mac]

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound comes out on July 31st so I'll be playing that in August as well as the new Shinobi game.

 

[Labadal]

Inazuma Eleven is a November title.

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

Snek Eater and enhanced version of the best Kirby for me.

Also interested in Shinobi not from what I've seen of the game specifically but just because I loved their other games like SoR4 and the Wonderboy 3 Remaster.

 

[dreamstation]

Probably play some Delta Force with our little multiplayer group. I've already played it on PC and not super keen but will play some with the crew. Probably the same with Gears of War. Still playing Tainted Grail as well so backlog too.

 

[Senua]

I can't believe Gears is just the ultimate edition again. Bummer. I love the early Mafia games but not sure I have much hope in Hangar 13. Curious though. MGS3 is an awesome game but I've beat it so many times. Not sure a lick of paint is worth the money for me

 

[Nankatsu]

Will start Death Stranding 2 and eventually MGS3: Delta.

 

[Goalus]

Gears Reloaded
Darktide

Helldivers 2 later

 

[drganon]

Death Stranding 2 and Mario Kart World. After that, probably donkey kong.

 

[GymWolf]

Mgs delta and dying light the beast, too bad they are at the end of the month...

I may try grounded 2 if the combat is less dogshit.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hoping to dive into these two games if I have time:

 

[Hashassin]

Recently found out that there's a hard rebalanced mod for breath of fire 3.
It's pretty good.

 

[Gonzito]

Mafia and Metal Gear. Maybe Shinobi as well

 

[Lokaum D+]

Kingdom come II If i have the money

 

[clarky]

Kingdom come II If i have the money

Steam? If so its on sale right now.

 

[Jesb]

Backlog. Just got a steamdeck and i got my hands full from recent sales. Focusing on Alan Wake 2 currently,

 

[Minari]

Mafia if its good. btw how do i vote? there is no option.

 

[Markio128]

Nothing jumping out at me tbh, but I have more than enough games to keep me occupied for a good couple of months. It's very likely GOY will be my next day 1.

 

[Bond007]

Metal Gear is king for me.

Will see how Mafia turns out. Gears of War perhaps aswell.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Hearthstone Battleground, SCP Secret Lab, and Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 3 Modded.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Going back in o expedition 33, and also Skyrim on the PS5. Nothing else until BL4 in Sept.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Gears on PS5. Already pre-ordered.

 

[MayauMiao]

Dreadout 2, Mister Mosquito 2 (PS2), Far Cry 6, Stray.

 

[blacktout]

This is the very definition of a backlog month. I'm going to finish up Donkey Kong Bananza and then probably go back to Mario Kart World and Hogwarts Legacy. Might revisit Splatoon 3 to see how much better it looks on the Switch 2 now that it has been patched.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Good ol' backlog.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Sword of the Sea

 

[kunonabi]

Mostly going to play dragonball the breakers since it's getting a huge season 9 update and Fatal Fury. I recently bought death Stranding 2 and Wuchang and I'm getting Ninja Gaiden Ragebound but I probably won't get around to them as much as I'd like.

 

[Shifty1897]

I'm concerned about MGS Delta. Some of the footage looks a little... Soulless? And Virtuous didn't win any awards for Oblivion Remastered's performance.

 

[amigastar]

I'm concerned about MGS Delta. Some of the footage looks a little... Soulless? And Virtuous didn't win any awards for Oblivion Remastered's performance.

Yeah, it looks technically advanced but rather soulless. Beside that never been a big Metal Gear Solid fan but i will maybe check out this Remake if it's good.

 

[EerieArcade]

Looking like a backlog month for me. I might pick up MGS but it depends on reviews, especially for £69.99. Plus, I want to pick up some games released late last year that I didn't purchase at release: Clock Tower: Rewind, Shadows of the Damned Remastered, and Dragon Quest III 2D Remake.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Only Mafia from the new games, but I assume that'll take me few days max to finish.

 

[The_hunter]

Sword of the sea is coming in Augusut too.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Mafia old country
Shinobi

Some of these:
Maybe still Donkey Kong (just got my switch 2 today)
Diablo 2 resurrected (still the best)
Get back to lunar1/fantasy life /azuma
System shock2
Nwn2
Rimworld
Victoria 3.

 

[Punished Miku]

Shinobi
Grounded 2
Helldivers 2
Hellblade 2 patch
Backlog

 

[Minari]

Yeah, it looks technically advanced but rather soulless. Beside that never been a big Metal Gear Solid fan but i will maybe check out this Remake if it's good.

Yep and its 80€ for me (Germany)
Steep ask for a remake

 

[Bonfires Down]

 

[semiconscious]

i'm not sure. but very likely nothing on that list...

 

[ReBurn]

There are a couple of things I want to play this month. The new Mafia and Shinobi, mostly. I'll play Gears of War since I got it free I guess.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Backlog month. Finishing up Expedition 33 postgame and some older PC games. Trying to figure out my next move, it's been difficult to have any motivation to play something after E33. At some point I'll get around to Gears reloaded and MGSD, but I'm in no rush so not August and I won't pay full price.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Moar DK Bananza then potentially Expedition 33. I have a ton because of the events in the last 1.5 years of my life to explore. Not considering the decades of buying before that.. lol wtf. Nothing expressly jumps out at me from the list, but Shinobi could be solid.

 

[reinking]

Most likely a backlog month. I might pick up College Football 26 but I am not even sure about that. I currently have way too many games that I am not playing and some of them are recent purchases.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Ragebound!

 

[RickMasters]

Shinobi is a must.because… sega!

Gradius belongs in my collection of retro games on my xbox account


Helldivers to play with my xbox crew

Gears and Madden I can play on GPU


Metal gear can wait till it's in a sale because I never pay full price for a game and I got too many AAA games I ain't even so much as booted up the loading screen for yet. But it's destined for my backlog. Plus it will be cool to just see it sitting their in my digital backlog with all my other metal gear games.

Crazy how many digital games I have even as a physical evangelist and purist just by picking them up at 1-10 USD intermittently.

My daughter is going to inherit a gigantic physical and digital library, one of the things I find myself sometimes thinking about.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Really wanted Mafia to be something special.

Since they've managed to fuck that up, it's MGS3 Delta for me and the boss.
