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

I've now picked up my last game with The Medium which is looking at being a Series X launch game and actually looks next gen due to it running two worlds at the same time.

I think we're getting close to squeaky bum time for filling out rosters now. I can foresee a lot of little indies making up the majority of our teams...

Nope! I'm holding out until some beauties release at the end of the year/I forget.

Bloodlines 2 has been delayed for who has that

meeeeeeeeeeee

That's Halo Infinite been delayed as well. Probably for the best - that looked honkin!

Spencer said ages ago it might happen, I just didn't think it would because Xbox needs a big launch game for Series X and till now & after that trailer was still a launch game.

It didn't look great but also looked like Halo, the problem really if you listen to a DF is the game was ambitious for an Xbox One game on hardware that's in terms of tech rather old.

Hopefully they can use the time to have a good Series X version now but for this league might be done as I now have a few not coming out.

I'm expecting a suite of "Will Not Release" in our line-ups, to be honest.

More than likely

93 for Flight Sim which makes it the joint highest new game of the year and put me right back in this, as I still have a free spot as well

Spiritfarer is currently sat on 88 after dropping today, that'll do nicely, although I expect it to go down slightly as they usually do on opencritic (MFS needs to do that too).

ONL was last night didn't see anything new to bid on as I do have one more space.

But stuff got dated like LEGO Skywalker now Spring 202 which is bad for Andy also Medal of Honour is still coming in 2020 which is great news for me.

On my games Tell Me Why has a 80 but only Chapter 1 is out that I don't know if the other two chapters with have a impact as you often see here's review for Chapter 1, 2 and 3 then the whole season is this.

Think few others have bits out like Last Campfire or coming soon part from Jim as I'm sure all he's games are now 2021 at the earliest.

Reviews for my next pick Windbound have come in and it's not great, currently sat on 66 which I don't see changing, the biggest complaint I've seen is that it's too frustrating at times, damm game reviewers and their lack of skill. The one outlet which gave it a 9.5/10 has saved me losing a whole heap of points.

Looks like I've had a quickfire double release in Wasteland 3 and Crusader Kings 3, currently standing at 85 and 91 respectively. I figured both were safe 8/10's when I drafted them so I'm surprised to see CK3 scoring so well. I'm sure it'll come down a little over the coming days.

I had my first will not release in Evil Genuis 2 so I've got one more slot to fill.

Looking at the projections on the site it has you winning Muss as most of your games look like they will be around 85, where Jay the current champ seems like he will maybe get a couple of 90+ games the issue is he has some 70s.

Consistence

I'm in with a shout definitely. I've not really had a game over 90 yet, and I expect CK3 to drop down to the 85s, but a lot of my games have been at the 80 mark. Carrion is my worst pick (that scored) so far at 76, which is still alright. Definitely picked up a lot of consistent points with my releases.

I might have peaked now though, depending on whether or not Cyber Punk gets delayed or if Hellblade 2 does not come out. I'm not expecting Hellblade to come out but who knows.

Think I've been pretty lucky in terms of having most of my games get released too. Some of the other drafts have been a bit shafted by picking games which were estimated at 2020 release dates, most of which probably would have come out in a normal year.

I'm 99% sure Hellblade 2 is going to be a Series X game which means it's holiday 2021 at the earliest

Yeah, I'd put money on Muss taking this home now, especially with Cyberpunk sitting on the sidelines which is an easy 90+ unless something goes horribly wrong. I started panicking mid-year when my games starting getting delayed or non-confirmed (I did have Guilty Gear Strive but I dropped that once it was confirmed as a 2021 game) and went for some games that were never going to be world-beaters.

I'm hopeful I can cling onto second as I've still got a couple of decent releases which are confirmed to make this year, although Mas does have a real shout for second with CoD and Spidey.

Cappa still has quite a few games due to come out on his list that should score well. The Dirt series always does well, Watchdogs could be good and Crash 4 should pick up some decent points too.

I reckon I'll finish around the 115-120 ball park at best, assuming Cyberpunk scores around 95, Empire of Sin comes out and the random game I picked up from the folk behind Until Dawn does ok.

I think I could have a few zeros coming in though, along with whatever random game I pick up before the year ends.

One I'm surprised about for Cappa is Avengers as even though I said it looked sort fun especially with mates, still looked like a 70/100 game but nope it's on 82

...what really!? For that piece of unimaginative-looking... huh. Okay then.

It's now down to a 70, which feels much more like what I expected.

I've got no idea what Marvel Avengers looks like or what type of game it is, I just picked it because it was by Square Enix and they did well with those Tomb Raider reboots. That said, it definitely deserves 100%, probably more, and this league is obviously rigged and should be called off (with me as the winner).

Avengers is now below 70

Kena has been delayed to Q1 2020

I've put in a bid in for something but with no money can't see my winning the game in question but with the PS5 event now upcoming which hopefully shows such maybe what is at launch and any surprises that could come in 2020

See a few have places left, what happens if you don't pick up any more games?
