Re: 2022 gaming plans
I was actually looking forward to this thread getting made.
The last couple of years have been pretty meh for me in terms of new releases. In 2020 the only Day 1 releases that I bought were Cyberpunk (which I hated), OOTP 21 and Ghosts of Tsushima.*
In 2021 the only new releases that I bought were OOTP 22, Tales of Arise (major disappointment), and Aliens Fireteam (lost interest after a few runs through the camp). Every other game that I've purchased the last 2 years had been out for at least a year, in some cases several years.
I have high hopes for 2022 though. There is pretty big list of games that I'm closely following:
I really liked Funkycorm's format in the 2021 Gaming Plans. So, I'm going to loosely follow that.
2022 Gaming Goals:
Buy PS5 - Technically completed at the end of December, but it isn't scheduled to be delivered until 1/4.
Buy/Build new PC - My PC is perfectly fine, but it is a few years old. Some big games coming out this year that I'd like to play at max settings though.
Complete 1 Total War Warhammer Campaign - I have over 1100 hours in this game on Steam since it released in 2017, but I have never completed a Mortal Empires campaign. I came really close a few months ago, but one of the final events glitched and never happened. I have a terrible habit of getting really far into a campaign and then starting a new one once it feels like I'm kind of unstoppable.
Games to buy:
PC Gaming
Rainbow Six Extraction (1/20) - Game looks great, but it will depend on if I can find people to buy it with.
Vampire the Masquerade Swansong (5/19) - I love the original Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines that came out nearly 20 years ago. I've been stoked to get my hands on this one ever since it was announced.
Total War Warhammer III (2/17) - There is no doubt that this is a day 1 purchase. A continuation of the game that has been far and away my most played game over the last 5 years.
PS5
Horizon Forbidden West (2/1) - Easy choice
Forspoken (5/24) - Currently have it preordered for PS5, but I may switch to PC if reviews show it as being a good port.
Maybe Buys
PC
OOTP 23 - The only sports series that I still consider remotely worth buying. This is firmly in the probably category, but I would like to see a few enhancements before I shell out full price for it again.
PS5
Sifu (2/8) - Looks really cool. I may end up picking it up down the road though given all the other releases that I'm looking forward to in February, but this one definitely caught my eye.
Gran Turismo 7 (3/4) - Need more info on this. I hated the direction that this series took with the most recent game, but I'm hoping this one returns to the car simulation games of old.
If they come out:
Starfieild (11/11) - This is a day 1 purchase whenever it comes out. It seems like a prime candidate for a delay though.
Bayonetta 3 - It's Bayonetta which is enough for me
Hogwarts Legacy - Do we finally get a full game in the Harry Potter universe?
Star Ocean The Divine Force - I love this series. So, this will always be a must buy.
Star Trek Resurgence - An actual exploration game in the Star Trek universe.
Games that may or may not have a release date that I'm watching and may get.
Pokemon Legends - Switch - (1/28)
Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection - PS5 - (1/28)
CrossfireX - XSX - (2/10)
Elden Ring - PC - (2/5)
Elex 2 - PC - (3/1)
Starship Troopers Terran Command - PC - (3/31)
