GNamer Fantasy Games League (And your Year Four winner is...)

I've gone and picked up Babylon's Fall and something called Metroid Prime 4, risky I know but I can always drop it later.

Those are both risky

Nah Babylon will be cool, they've had long enough to sort it and was looking decent in the last trailer.

Hopefully for you but just feels like a early 2021 game when PS5 has been out for a bit but would make for a decent launch game.

Look at all these sneaky pickups. I see Nioh 2 is picking up good reviews, so I should be on the board soon.

I play the latest trial of Nioh 2, I really liked it just I've got a lot to play and it's a Souls-like that it might not click. Has made me more likely to get the first though if I see cheap somewhere.

That's good news. I bought the original on a big sale the other day and it finished downloading last night. I've been interested in it for a while but thought obliged to pick it up after running with Nioh 2 in the league. Nice to see it scoring well but I think my chances are going to hinge on: Hellblade 2 and Cyberpunk being released this year, alongside hoping that the Vampire the Masquerade game gets mixed reviews (although equally, if it's considered a belter that's great too because I'm a fan of the previous game!)

Hellblade 2 would have to be a launch game or like December for Xbox and surely they don't want something like that to takeaway from Halo Infinite also something to get people excited about in 2021 as most of the XGS games coming out this year or be awhile off such as the AAAA game.

Ooft, those are a couple of risks there!

Aye, looks like Muss will settle just behind Andy with Nioh 2 currently sitting a tidy 87. I hope Hellblade 2 doesn't come out this year, for my sake...

I guess you's missed Nioh being free on PS+ a few months ago then?

I've not had Plus for ages, don't see the point as I basically only play 5 or so games on PS4 a year which are all single player.

We'll see on Hellblade. I'd obviously love for it to come out this year but I always knew when I picked it that I might have to drop it for another game.

Aye, unfortunately. I've just not been keeping up to date with PS4 stuff. But it was 90% off or so on the steam sale so not too shabby

Ahh those are both fair reasons & that really is a great sale for the steam version.

Metroid Prime 4? You absolute nutter, Smurf!

I almost bid for a game called One Step From Eden but with only two slots (maybe three if I drop a game) that I decided against it.

I have the option to drop it so if Nintendo pull of a surprise release then the points will be rolling in, if there's no word by E3 replacement Direct I'll bin it off.

This new mechanic feels like cheating to me. I think we should have a gentlemen's agreement that we deduct 10 points from our final scores if we make a change.

No, as think of poor Jimbob last year and even if Smurf drops Metroid he'll still have Babylon which won't come out. And who knows what he'll pick as a replacement that might be something worse as he panic buys.

I feel personally attacked there.

You're way too late to pipe up about the drop mechanic now! It's only limited to one for a reason, and everyone's got one to use, so it's fair and balanced I say!

Besides, with rumours of the new Playstation and Xbox launches being delayed due to Coronavirus, you might need to use that drop yourself for Godfall...

Yeah heard they might be delayed till March time, then I've heard will come out but be really limited due to production being behind.

If March, I don't feel it make much difference as who's spending £500-600 on these new systems be people on things like here not a many parents for Little Timmy for Christmas. And could make this game interesting as would Halo be delayed? Or still come out and people just play on Xbox One or PC.

If still November, and limited be scalpers field day.

I HAVE MY PRIDE MOULES

Also likely will struggle to be bothered.

Animal Crossing reviews have started and it's just on 92.

Here we go again Jay winning

I'm not ashamed to admit that I was really happy that Nintendo Life rated Animal Crossing so highly... before immediately cursing Moylesy.

Looks like ya boy is sitting pretty with two 90+ games right now.
