Yeah I'm curious what, if any, "Lauches RIGHT loving NOW" games there'll be today.

Halo would be insaaaaane, and basically guarantee a bajillion people sign up for Game Pass straight away.

If that release date is real it means Cyberpunk, Death Stranding, Pokemon Sword/Shield, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order(hey, it could be good!) come out within a week of each other, and then Shenmue 3 is 4 days after that. That's gonna be a hectic month. And there's still a bunch of games coming out this year that don't have release dates yet...

Gonna be crazy when cyberpunk is the low man of these games.

I just don't see cyberpunk doing much other than being a decent Western rpg, hope they change my mind. If they're really launching soon, then what they showed last year might be indicative of the game, and that would be disappointing.

CDPR would only release cyberpunk this year if GOG's declining revenue forced their hand to generate some revenue, and you wouldnt really want a rushed game anyway

the amount of crunch they'd force the employees to undergo too, since they're anti-union

It'd be a drat shame if GOG went under, because I'm currently dying for a decent consolidated games library client (sorry, Playnite) and Galaxy 2.0 looks like it might hit the spot.

Actually, of all of the games supposedly releasing in November, Star Wars the Fallen Order will be the biggest one, and then Cyberpunk 2077 will be a close 2nd. This is for sales, which of the games releasing in the fall will actually be good is anyone's guess, the number of quality titles is probably going to be quite low as always. :v:

They did five good Halo games, counting Reach and ODST. How many game series stay quality through the sixth entry?

ODST is really good. The survival horror touch makes it feel fresh while still keeping the solid Halo gameplay, and the plot is good even though it stars that dreadful actor nerds love for some inexplicable reason. Reach is starting to get wobbly. Bad plot, bad characters, slightly too gimmick gameplay, but the bones are still good

Yeah, there's not many. And MGS3 was the fourth MGS game. The Metal Gear games were a different series and also not very fun.

ODST was added later as a mea culpa for how loving terrible the collection was on a technical level at launch, Reach is being added soon(ish?) and is going to be the first one on PC. They're releasing one game at a time on PC, starting with Reach and then in release order after that (although I think they're probably put ODST out before Halo 4).

In-universe chronological order actually, which is neat but I can't imagine anyone giving that much of a poo poo that hasn't already played them on console.
