I've finished up Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein on the PS4 and these are the only titles left for me to play until TLoU remastered:

X1
Max
Forza 5
Guacamelee

PS4
Resogun
Strider
Doki-doki universe
Towerfall Ascension
Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate

No exclusive big name games anywhere for at least 3 weeks and that's only for the PS4. The X1 has nothing until Fall.

Only on the PS4. That well's been dried up for months. I have so much to play on the Xbox One still.
 
Nah. Still have loads to play on both systems. Plus I always have my dark souls addiction to feed if I get bored
 
Nope! The time sink that is warframe has actually prevented me from even getting to my collection 125+ steam games. And that's considering I only bought two games during the big sale. Stack on top of that all the free games from my "games with gold", ps+ games, and free2play games I really want to start. So many games, so little time!!!
 
Im all up in da indies right now. Valiant Hearts, Guacamelee, Contrast, and Max COB. Nothing really big coming until Sept when Destiny hits. Until then, im also playing a few old games on 360 that I never finished just to get them off my plate. Hitman Absolution, Gears Judgement, Alan Wake American Nightmare, and Dust, Just to name a few.
 
No, I've still got too many games to play and catch up with and not enough time.
 
Steam and GOG just had some big sales. I didn't even pick up Wolfenstein or Watch Dogs. I'm going to finish The Wolf Among Us. In August, Wastland2 is coming out. I'm really looking forward to that.

I probably would if I didn't already have a decent sized X1 backlog. Plenty still to play for me.
 
A little on my X1, although Fifa, BF, COD and Forza are still keeping me going. I fully expected to be looking for something to play at this point after launch. The first summer after launch is always going to be weak (summers typically are anyway) My 360 backlog is still huge and PC games keep me busy.

Come October we'll be complaining about not having enough time to play all the games coming out :)
 
Watching the Quick Look of Divinity - Original Sin. Might be grabbing that. I'm in need of a good ole RPG.
 
Just say nothing out now appeals to you. Because there are tons of games to play on both systems.
 
My backlog is shamefully massive so I still have lots to play. A lot of the time I have to put games I want to play on the back burner because of reviews that I have to do and then I never end up going back! It's a bad habit and dry spells like this kinda force me back.
 
Skyrim on PC been keeping me busy until the destiny beta and last of us on ps4 come out. Before that i was playing alpha protocol via ps now on my ps4.
 
I will probably get Sniper Elite 3 for X1 and Last of Us for PS4. Then nada till fall.
 
Nope, I have more games I wanted to play than I have time. Batman Arkham City on 360 & Far Cry on PC.

I watched some gameplay footage of Sniper Elite and it looked like fun. I liked how you have to move around vantage points to get a clear shot or relocate after taking a shot. I was also surprised that it also offered co-op with a sniper and spotter. If you never played The Last of Use I think you’re in for a really good time. I wish I could wipe my mind from the PS3 experience but since I can’t I’ll wait for it to be discounted.

You should look into Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition which releases on 8/19. The PS4 version features some Last of Us enemies and Shadow of the Colossus armor. ;)

I played like 5 minutes of it last week at a relatives house, and didn't care for it. But I didn't have much time. Then I watched some on Twitch this week, for a longer period of time, and I really do like what I saw...I never gave it a chance. Though, I am not interested in the animations from the hits, so hopefully I can turn that off. I just don't want to sit there and wait for that play through over and over.

My PS3 died while I was on the first mission of Last of Us. I wasn't going to waste any money buying another PS3, so I figured I would just miss out on completing it. So that means I will buy it a second time (though I did sell my first copy for $30 on ebay). I am looking forward to doing the entire game.

Thanks, but no thanks. Diablo aint my thing :)

Buster, I want more SOCOM time with you...need SOCOM 5 for PS4. I LOVED SOCOM 4. Agent 45 needs some of my back door loving!
 
I've been tempted to get Sniper Elite as well. The IGN review was very positive, although others didn't like it. Seems like a solid stealth game, although the biggest gripe seemed to be that there wasn't enough sniping in the game :)

I am waiting for the complaints that there isn't enough run and gun :)
 
@Kvally, let us know your impressions of Sniper Elite. You mean you didn’t like the x-ray killcam? I thought those looked awesome but I think the awesomeness could wear off quickly and perhaps those can be skipped with the push of a button. But the game play looked really tactical with the player using stealth to avoid detection. I wonder if a sniper ghillie suit is in the game to be even stealthier.

Unfortunately SOCOM is dead. Or at least with Sony killing off Zipper I doubt we will see another game in the series any time soon. Another developer could take the helm just like I’m holding out hope for another entry in the Resistance series even though Insomniac jumped ship to MSFT’s camp. Fingers crossed.

Roger that.

Yeah, it's cool and original....and then I just don't need to see it anymore. Maybe an option in settings to disable permanently.

Not sure what era the game is in...did they have ghille suits then?

Fingers and toes crossed here too.
