Games out in October 2015

[Yevrah]

Digital Spy do a nice little monthly round up of the 10 biggest games released in each forthcoming month.

Here's October's.

So, which one(s) will you be buying?

[phonics]

Interested in absolutely none of those. I'll have a bash of Battlefront on my mates console and call it shit when it doesn't quite grab me and then mock him for buying it because I'm an arsehole.

[Ian]

I'll buy AssCreed but probably not for a good while yet. Of this month's I'd be more likely to buy Vermintude than any of those, to be honest. Assuming it's not a fuck-up.

I thought Deus Ex was out this year.

Arse Creed London does interest me, but given I know it will be wank (and Fallout 4's out a mere couple of weeks later) I'd be fucking insane to buy it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Uncharted and AssCreed, although not on release dates.

[Baz]

Pity Tony Hawk looks absolutely turd.

[The Bruce]

Battlefront Beta for me, the rest can get fucked.

[phonics]

It's quite spectacular how bad most games are at the moment.

[Raoul Duke]

The rest of this year is all about Fallout, but Ass Creed, Uncharted, Star Wars and Transformers will be getting bought. Minecraft too maybe.

That Transformers game looks fucking amazing.

Still got MGS, God Of War and Batman I want to get as well. Sigh.

[Pleb]

Uncharted.

No brainer really.

[Bernanke]

None of the ones listed, I'll just do another Witcher 3 playthrough with the DLC. Haven't touched it since they introduced NG+ and runes and shit.

[Disco]

I don't think I'm remotely interested in any of those. I think the only thing on the horizon I'm eager to see is Mount & Blade 2 and I don't even know when that's supposed to be released.

[7om]

Just waiting on a few more features to be announced and I'll probably be getting WWE 2K16. Show McMahon how to do it.

[randomlegend]

Are the newer Tony Hawk's games any good?

Playing number 2 on the Playstation was the stuff dreams are made of.

[hfswjyr]

Waiting on Fallout 4 and XCOM2.

[phonics]

Uncharted.

No brainer really.

You know that's just the remaster of the first 3 right? 4 was delayed to next year.

[Yevrah]

I wonder how many people are buying it not realising that.

[Raoul Duke]

I missed the PS3 ones, so I'd like to get it. You get access to the beta (or maybe just multiplayer) with it too.

[Pleb]

Yup.

There's nothing worth my time though. I might go balls deep in the new Destiny (The Taken King and DLC) game though.

I wonder how many people are buying it not realising that.

When's The Division meant to be out?

[Yevrah]

Been delayed to 2016 I think.

I might have even heard it was multiplayer only. Which if true, Ubisoft, eh?

[Demerit]

I may buy assassins creed, I haven't had one since the original.

Only got my Xbox One in July and I already have a bbuloS of 6 games including Witcher 3, Batman and Project Cars.

I think AC, Battlefront, Fallout and maybe the new Rainbow Six (is that this year) are all I'll buy until 2016.

[elth]

None of them any time soon, but I imagine at some point in my life I'll grab the Uncharted box, continue my sort of unenthusiastic acquiescence to the AssCreed series, and of course I've played every Halo game ever so 5 will get a run eventually too.

[Mike]

They're a bit poo

[Raoul Duke]

I've struck Rainbow 6 off my list as there's no single player. Awful decision.

[wullie]

I'll get the WWE game, but I'm going to wait until it drops in price and comes with all the DLC bundled. I'm getting Star Wars, but I can't be arsed with betas.

[Shindig]

I'm not after owt til Just Cause. Might grab Witcher III after I'm done with MGS.

[Ian]

I may buy assassins creed, I haven't had one since the original.

You might as well grab one of the more recent ones for super cheap first. Not least because Syndicate is probably going to be a bit poo, despite the setting looking swish. Black Flag, for all that it had flaws of it's own, was a bit of an outlier in a series which has been doing downhill since whichever a given person's high point of the Ezio games was. (Brotherhood, for me.)

Without googling, are any of them on the Xbox One?

[Ian]

I'd be astonished if Black Flag isn't, if nothing else. And surprised if the others aren't on there in some form.

[Danny]

I was looking forward to that game

[Yevrah]

Black Flag's on XB1, I had it.

[Demerit]

Any good?


@Ian why are you so sure syndicate will be crap? The setting looks excellent.

[Ian]

I believe Yev didn't like it (or at least grew tired of the things that AC always does and Ubi don't bother fixing) but I enjoyed it very much.

I suspect Syndicate might be bobbins purely because there's an argument to be made that the series has had less good games than average-or-less. I think they got better as they went along up to Brotherhood and then assuming Unity was as much of a mess as I've read and heard it's been declining since other than, in my case, Black Flag.

I'd love to be wrong though.

[Pleb]

Don't forget there's a AC-London game coming out soon

[Demerit]

Idiot

[Yevrah]

I really liked it to a point, liked it a fair bit to a further point, and then it just pissed me off after that.

The world was great, but its contents were just a great big recycled bag of nothing. Which is hardly surprising when you're churning out ArseCreed titles as quick as Ubi do.

Having not played any since the original, what's the issue with the 'poor' ones.

Gameplay? Story? Bugs?

[Ian]

As Yev says, there is a lot of repetition so if you don't like what you're doing it's going to grate as it doesn't change a huge amount. A common issue is that you feel like you're being tutorial'd for about a quarter of the game. The 'real world' meta-story is awful and totally unnecessary.

After that I think most of the issues are game-to-game. Unity just sounds like it was a mess of poorly-executed changes and bugs. AC3 had an even worse case of the 'tutorial' thing, a terrible protagonist (the brief bit where you play as the eventual bit is the best part.) Revelations doesn't live up to it's own title and much as I liked Ezio it felt like they added random shit just to keep his story going.

Don't forget there's a AC-London game coming out soon

Oh, Pleb.

[Danny]

Is that not Syndicate

[Bernanke]

Black Flag's great, just because of the boating. It's absolutely amazing with the pirate chants and the changing weather.

[Ian]

I enjoyed the sailing about very much. The shanties, the weather, smashing into other ships once you'd upgraded yours.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I think most of my time in the game was spent just dossing about on my ship.

Trying to take down a Man-O-War for the first time

[Pleb]

Is that not Syndicate
