2021 Gaming Plans

[peter42O]

HAPPY NEW YEAR of GAMING EVERYONE!!!

As we start 2021, im currently waiting to receive the Xbox Series X bundle that I ordered back on December 19th from GameStop which should hopefully be coming this Thursday, January 7th via FedEx.

My primary gaming console will be Xbox Series X while PlayStation 5 will be my secondary full exclusives only console when I purchase it this coming Spring. All games I list will be color coded for the respective console that I purchased, played and completed the game on. How im playing the respective game is listed in parenthesis and is either via digital, disc or game pass.

CURRENTLY PLAYING
None

BACKLOG
- Assassin's Creed Valhalla (digital gold edition)
- Bright Memory (digital, demo)
- Cyberpunk 2077 (digital, waiting for the next gen upgrade)
- Gears 5: Hivebusters (game pass, expansion)
- Gears Tactics (game pass)
- Immortals Fenyx Rising (digital gold edition)
- Marvel's Spider Man: Miles Morales (disc, base game)
- Watch Dogs Legion (disc, base game)

FEBRUARY 2nd
- Outriders (undecided)

The only positive about not having the Xbox Series X (or PlayStation 5) yet is that thankfully, I thus far only have one game with a confirmed release date for 2021. Thus far, the first half of 2021 is looking empty for me except for Outriders so I should be all caught up by the time April/May arrives.

What's YOUR gaming plans for 2021???

[DJ]

Here's my list:

-No console purchases
-Dive into my backlog of PS4, XB1 and Switch games
-No new sports title purchases; continue playing the current games I have
-Commit more time to playing retro consoles and handheld systems

New game purchases will be dependent on what first party Nintendo games are released.

Back log to be to say will always have a back log it is what it is.

Current games

The pathless-I am getting towards the end about to fight second to last boss.

Immortals Fyenx rising- Still pretty early in the game think I have gotten to the
3rd of like the 7 different areas and there is still dlc to come out later.

Ori and the will of the wisp- Very early in the game only gotten a little bit past the basic intro. I enjoyed the first game a lot last year on the switch has well dont have a xbox.

Later this year

Ratchet and clank rift apart-?
oddworld soulstorm- Spring I never played a oddworld game but I love platforms and from has been shown this looks great.
kena bridge of spirits-?
scarlet nexus- Summer
Horizon Forbidden west-?
Zelda BOTW 2-?

Might get

batman gotham knights- I am not sure what to think of this the fact it looks like the got rid of the batman Arkham style combat sucks has that is a big reason those games where so good.

Zelda 35 year stuff- I am expecting to get some Zelda 35 year stuff this year and Zelda is my all time favorite franchise but we dont know yet what that stuff might be.

Sticking with my PS4 Pro and tackling the massive, robust backlog I have. I am also playing my PS3, NES and original XBOX.

The only new sports game I would consider purchasing is MLB The Show 21.

Will check back in here soon with a complete list of my ridiculous backlog on the PS4 and check each game off as we go along.

Once I have both next gen consoles, one of my rules is to never have a backlog simply because I know im not going back to older games and thus, will never play them. I must say that this rule will make gaming even better for me as I will focus more on quality as opposed to quantity and won't have to worry about being all caught up.

No next gen console (PS5) for me until at least spring / autumn of 2022 depending on how Madden looks by then as well as Horizon Forbidden West.

I as many others above have a massive backlog that I would like to clear first, though where am I going to find time for this I have no idea.

CURRENTLY PLAYING:

- Horizon Zero Dawn - I gave this a second try after a rather overwhelming first encounter a couple of months ago, and now I am 30 hours in with 27.2% of the game (main story?) completed. When you can spend ~30 minutes just standing on the lake shore fishing, you are not going to get very far very quick in this game. Truly amazing, visually / technically a marvel, but for a guy like me, perhaps a bit too massive.

- Snooker 2019 - a sidekick / change of pace game to HZD. Started a career mode as Andrew Higginson, my second most-favorite player ever. In season one, lost my first qualifiers, then won the very next ranking event, World Open. Qualified for next three ranking events, with Paul Hunter Classic coming up next.

TOP PRIORITIES OF 2021

- The Last of Us 2 - my personal gaming event of the year
- Days Gone

NEXT IN LINE

- Uncharted 2-4 (finished Drake's Fortune this Nov/Dec)
- Uncharted Lost Legacy
- Nier : Automata

AWAITING THEIR TURN

- Life is Strange
- Watch Dogs 2

CONSIDERING A BUY

- Assasins Creed Odyssey - top priority
- Immortals Fenyx Rising - low priority
- Dying Light - low priority
- Red Dead Redemption 2 - if I get mad enough, I'd get this one, too

SHELVED

- Madden 21

When I look at this list it makes me cry / smash things in despair because I have no idea where do I get the time to play and truly explore all of these games, feel the different vibes, stories, atmospheres... All of them seem to be true gems. Where do y'all get time for this???

[Picci]

I have so many games in backlog that anything new will be purchased long after release or after they hit the bargain bin with the exception of;

MS Flight Simulator (PC); (Saving $ for full purchase enjoyment)

Hitman 3 (PS5,PSVR)

Sniper Elite VR (PSVR)

Certain Exclusives and Next-gen Sports (PS5)(PC)

As for my current gaming in 2021;

• Madden 21 (PS4); Jets had a miserable year at 3-13. Super Bowl New England vs Dallas. Secured the # 1 pick. Fired Gase. Darnold is trade bait, and Mike Tomlin is high on my top list of head coach hires after Steelers fired him.
  
  
• MLB: The Show 20 (PS5); Started new 2020 season with Mets in one team control.
  
  
• NBA 2K 21 (PS5); My Team Nets. Playing full schedule and just started My Franchise.
  
  
• War Thunder (PS4,PS5); At level 96.
  
  
• Jurassic World: Evolution (PS4); Determined more than ever to get off Isla Muerta island!
  
  
• No Man's Sky (PS5,PS4,PSVR); A game with years of content to play with!
  
  
• The TellTale Series: The Walking Dead Final Season (PS4); Finally bit on the currant sale and determined to complete Clementine's story. Starting Episode 4 now.
  
  
• Sudden Strike: Complete Edition (PS4); - German campaign
  
  
• Star Wars Squadron (PS5,PSVR); Awaiting PS5 patch to begin campaign.

When I commit to a non sports game that hooks me, it is like binge watching a series on Netflix. I play late night weekend sessions and play it till I am done.

When I played TLOU2 I put aside everything else and played it for 8 straight days.

Currently playing:

Madden 21 - Dolphins Year 5
