It's pretty bad yeah. I'm desperate for April.
At least we still have Doom Eternal, but still so long :(

I'm trying to maintain a rotation of 5 games, one for each day during the week, so far it's Super Mario World, Dragonball Z Kakarot, A Robot named Fight, Smash Bros Ultimate and Hades, and I'm already looking to get started on Daemon X Machina and REmake 2. Thank god for this slow Q1. FF7R will eat me for a good while.

Agreed
I've finsihed
Control
Shadow of the tomb raider
Horizon zero dawn
Journey to the savage planet
All within like a month all from the beginning. So at least it's helping with backlog

Yeah, been a slow start to the year. But, March-May has plenty of goodies. Unfortunately it feels like there is going to be another drought after Last of Us 2 in May.

I rented DBZ: Kakarot but stopped playing and sent it back because I wasn't having fun with it anymore. I'm currently going through The Outer Worlds and loving every minute of it. I've also got Life Is Strange 2 coming, so I've got stuff to play at least until Doom is out.

Nah. I bet Ubisoft puts out a game or two over the summer.

Like what? I mean, surely some things will pop up. There is plenty out there without a release date yet. But, currently, this is GameInformers calendar for the summer:

The sea of games is retreating from the shore, ready for the incoming storm of... next gen.

Things Ubisoft has delayed:

- Watch Dogs: Legion
- Gods and Monsters
- Skull and Bones
- Quarantine

They're not going to shove all those games into the holiday season. At least one or two of those will wind up coming out in the summer.

They've also got Assassin's Creed coming this year as well, so they've got to spread those games out.

I bought Journey to the Savage Planet which I enjoy, but yeah I don't see anything that interests me until Doom Eternal. Q1 this year feels barren as hell.

Yes, I also own a Switch and no I don't want Animal Crossing. Hate that series.

Other than Doom, yeah. The only new game I'm getting in Q1 is the Bayonetta/Vanquish remaster on PS4 which barely counts.

Plenty of time to save up for the upcoming storm and catch up on other games though so I'm not complaining.

For me, it has been the biggest dead zone since the beginning of the generation. Its all to be expected though. New generation starting up this fall, some unfortunate game delays. Its just going to be what its going to be.

No matter, I have spent the last 3 months working through all of the expansions of FFXIV....and it has been awesome! Im about to start Shadowbringers.

It's been perfect for me and my backlog. Finally got around to Fire Emblem: Three Houses, finished Yakuza 0 at last, started Kiwami, and I'll be finishing up Cold Steel 2, too.

March is also making up for it - I'll be getting Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Animal Crossing, and Persona 5 Royal.

So yeah Jan/Feb are a bit boring but I'm gonna guess most people here could use the time to tackle backlogs, it's fun!

Despite my backlog of 10+ games, I've started new files on Dark Souls: Remastered and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Something is wrong with me.

It really, really is.
And I get the play my backlog sentiments, but let's be honest, those games are in my backlog for a reason. They did not really appeal to me enough to play them at the time.

What are you talking about? This is some great backlog time! You could break a solid couple RPGs off your backlog with this Q1.

I'm convinced that Cyberpunk 2077 is the solution to all of life's problems. Now, if it can just release.

I'm honestly fine with a slow quarter, because I'm always playing games I didn't play at release or playing more of a game I played before. I'm quite addicted to Stardew Valley on Switch right now, even though I played it on PC at launch. I beat 14 games last month, too. I'm good until Animal Crossing, I think.

I'm still trying to finish Death Stranding, and I have KH3 to play after that so I'm happy with the lull.

Same, i havent been playing much games and on top of that Sony especially and and a little bit Microsoft are keeping all of their cards close to their chest so there isnt much exciting news either. Cant wait for Ori, Doom, and AC

agreed, horrible Q1 so far....and i still remember the "2020 will be killer" thread.

i...just don´t see it tbh. even when looking at the next months, there is not much which fits my interests at all on the horizon.
and the games that interest me like Streets of Rage 4, Cyber Shadow or Desperados 3 don´t even have a release date so far

Yo
Doom Eternal
DarkSiders Genesis
Nioh 2
Sounds like a good Q1 to me 🧐

Doom Eternal= bargain bin buy
Darksiders Genesis= 10 hr game
Nioh 2= more of the exact same

Well, this month is giving me a chance to play some games on my backlog. Otherwise I'm waiting for Nioh 2.

And I welcome this Q1 with open arms.

I have finally been able to complete my backlog one at a time. Started with Sekiro, Rage 2 and now Metro Exodus.
After that I am going towards Mirror's Edge Catalyst and probably The Witcher 3 NG+ coupled with Blood and Wine.

I love it.

Yeah, I've been so bored due to not having a backlog since I play the games I want to play and not having any good shows to watch since I watch the ones I want to watch. Now I just half-ass go to the gym and watch the one or two anime on my list before going back to being bored.

Speak for yourself. Two of my most anticipated games of this year are in Q1 (DMC3 and Ori).

How is Nioh 2 more of the same. It already looks much more promising. You guys are fucking hard to please
