what a boring year-end

 

[Xzi]

Cosmic Invasion, Prime 4, Nightreign DLC, and Skate Story, hell yeah.

 

[regnad]

What are you talking about? Farming Simulator Signature Edition FFS!!!

 

[Ligeia]

Wow that's quite an uninteresting Holiday schedule, except for Metroid Prime 4 I guess

 

[The Catboy]

Wow, another month of nothing burgers

 

[matchet23]

Should the second launches on different platforms for an already released title, to be discussed about being included on these lists (or at least being marked with an asterisk for clarification)

 

[masagrator]

Taking into account only new games:
Kids will have Metroid Prime 4.
Real men Octopath Traveler 0.

Other people not finding any game to play are just tired of gaming and need to touch grass.

To be honest, I'm intrigued by the Terminator game, but I haven't been keeping an eye on it. I've just seen a few pixel art screen shots, which got my attention. I'm not even sure what kind of gameplay it'll have, though I expect something Contra-like.

Terminator 2D: No Fate

 

[Ambers_Crimson_8K]

Metroid Prime 4 and Terminator Maybe!
Everything else is already out on multiple platforms, or just not relevant games.

Tired of all the NS2 ports, I means its a Switch Pro, nothing will be new other than 60fps boosts, smh!

Perhaps it's you that is boring? As usual, there are also many titles not even listed here.

Correction not relevant to you! You're a singular person and the world doesn't revolve around you. So yes they are relevant, just not to you. Didn't think about your prior comments before posting, did ya?

I really don't get why yakuza 0 director's cut is a thing, the original isn't that old and holds up just fine

 

[Exnor]

I like the Yakuza games, but another Re-release of old titles ?

 

[yakuku]

Every month when there's not much games to be excited for, it's a good month. It means I'll just save up.

Money. The worst thing is the original is gonna get delisted (the better version) while the Director's Cut added unnecessary scenes and bad retcons undermining good characters in the original. You can upgrade your Y0 to DC for $14 or buy it completely new for $40. Also you can't get the Director's cut in the PS4 version so Y0 so is gonna be gone completely unless you have it physically.

You forgot Kingdom of Night on Dec 2nd for PC

My favorite part of this website is the constant comment sections full of Debbie downers.
