June Is Going To Kill Us, Gamers

Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, and Final Fantasy XVI all demand hours of your life, and they're launching a week or so apart

[BrainSyphoned]

Lucky that you aren't gamers then. I'll manage to survive though, thanks for caring.

[Flawlessmic]

these next 2 months are crazy!!

I'm going to have star wars, redfall, zelda, diablo, ff16, sf6 all the play as i plan on buying them all.

where im actually gonna have time to play them is another story, definitely going to need to take some time off to get to even half of them. what a great time to be a gamer on all platforms.

[RedDevils]

I just get Zelda and ff16 others can just wait until I finished.

[Flawlessmic]

@red

Seems the smart thing to do honestly, can't go wrong with those 2 both look insane. Both games should last a good while as well.

Just for monetary reasons I might hold off on star wars and sf6 although Whether I have the mental strength to do that is a different story hahaha

Still can't get over how stacked these first 6 months have been, it's ridiculous especially for people that have more than one console.

Great problem to have 🙏

[DarXyde]

I'll wait on Street Fighter 6. I feel that there's going to be a lot of DLC and the inevitable Super/Arcade Edition/etc.

Zelda and Final Fantasy XVI promise to make this a great time. Both are big time sinks that I fully expect to take me out to fall.

Enjoy mate. I have to be a bit selective because it's costly (financially and in terms of time commitment). Hope you enjoy them all. 🙂

[Exvalos]

Gaming on all 3 consoles is the best way to be

[kingnick]

I couldn't agree more with this comment.

This site seems to be full of sensationalists often pushing political agendas.

[Broncob]

Yep I despise them mate, pure scum

[isarai]

Maybe I'm picky, maybe I'm jaded, or maybe the industry actually does just suck beyond belief, but I just don't find myself buying as many games as I used to. I'm just so burnt out on everything having unnecessarily convoluted crafting system, 5 different skill trees, lifeless open world's full of fluff, or another "survival" game where 1st thing you do is punch a damn tree. Or worst of all a GAAS title. Last game I bought and thoroughly enjoyed was Evil West, since then I've been wandering through the PS+ game catalog just killing time till something catches my attention.

None of these games have me excited, FFXIV might be cool but it's wait and see for me

[phoenixwing]

I think you're jaded. I'll be playing street fighter 6 and ff16

[S2Killinit]

I will be picking up FF16 after what I’ve seen and this will be pretty much my only FF game ever.

[NotoriousWhiz]

Same. I will be making time for SF6 and FF16. Everything else will have to get in where it can fit in.

I'm also still unsure if I want to grab Diablo 4. Or just pick up diablo 2 resurrected on sale for a quick nostalgia hit.

[FernDiggidy]

Amen

[Inverno]

the curse of going mainstream is everything starts to look and play the same. You wait for the one game you're excited for and it plays much like the rest you weren't interested in. It's a bit you, but also the industry just sucks.

[Fonsecap]

Yeah, my feeling exactly...

[porkChop]

It's because games are filled with so much bloat. I will gladly take 10-20 hours of great content over 20 hours of great content handcuffed to 30 hours of boring, monotonous content. I just can't be bothered anymore.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I'm not excited for these particular games, alot of fighting games are just getting too complicated for me when they keep adding in all these new systems in. I could barely play them 5 plus years ago and now there's even more to learn/keep track of?

Not a Diablo Fan, so Diablo 4 is a hard pass for me, and FF16 has no hype from me because of how disappoint the franchise has been for a decade plus, hopefully FF16 is one of their better games.

[Ninver]

FFXIV was released years ago mate

[Chocoburger]

100% my thoughts on the state of gaming these days. Many games are designed around "player retention" in order to keep shoving the micro-trash-action store in your face.

A shameful blight on this industry. I barely buy modern games these days, I'm sick of the Ubisoft-effect inflicting our industry.

[VersusDMC]

It will kill reviewers but not regular gamers as most don't like all genres.

For me FFXVI is day 1, SF6 is a maybe depending on reviews and how much single player content there is. Getting it eventually though. Never cared about Diablo.

[therealmacoy]

Already pre-ordered my deluxe edition

[ModsDoBetter]

Way too many titles for me:

Street Fighter
Diablo
Park Beyond
The Greyhill Incident
Final Fantasy XVI

Going to be a great month!

[JeffGUNZ]

Man, I am pumped for The Greyhill Incident.

[ModsDoBetter]

Looks so good, love horror games but they always feature ghosts or zombies, so aliens is a nice change of pace.

[z2g]

Unpopular opinion: I’m actually not really interested in any of these games.

[kingnick]

You're entitled to your opinion and have the right to voice it.

I'm not hyped for any of these games but I go out of my way to not buy into hype and make judgments based on media and reviews released after the game has released as too many Youtubers and review sites let free preview/review copies from developers and publishers cloud their judgment.

[Vengeance1138]

Why would it kill us? Are the games going to all of a sudden vanish if they aren't all played day 1? Pick your favorite, play it for how many hours you like and wait for the others to drop in price.

[phoenixwing]

It won't kill us. This guy is thinking as someone in the industry having to juggle them all so he can write junk about them

[CrimsonWing69]

C’mon man, it’s just a figure of speech. If I say that month will be murder on my wallet, I’m not saying my wallet will literally be killed. It’s just hyperbole and using exaggeration as an effect to just describe there’s a lot of good games coming out that month.

[hombreacabado]

im all in for street fighter 6!

[hiroyukisanada]

Buying all three of those bad boys, Day 1 😁

[Traecy]

I'll be acquiring all 3 games when released day one.

[Shane Kim]

FF XVI day one for me. Diablo after a couple of months and SF in the end of the console cycle when they release the ultimate edition with all dlc.

[CrimsonWing69]

Yea 2nd quarter is the strongest for 2023 releases. Zelda, FF16, Diablo 4, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, and Street Fighter 6. FF16 is my biggie, personally! So, incredibly stoked for it!

[phoenixwing]

I keep forgetting about jedi and zelda ill have to pick those up too

[Hofstaderman]

It’s Final Fantasy XVI for me day one.

[masterfox]

sorry FF XVI is above every other IP for that month imo, such a damn easy purchase decision :D

[anast]

All of those games are wait and see with FF being the most promising. Nice to see the write pulling the company line.

[hotnickles]

Not crowded for me. Im hyped about street fighter 6 and park beyond as far as the next few months go. I will be sinking some serious time into them though.

[bananacrust]

How many years of No good games over the summer has there been? like Im not gonna bitch about getting solid shit to play during the summer

[TheColbertinator]

Street Fighter 6 will be great

[franwex]

It’s like a November! I used to wonder why they never released any cool games during the summer as a kid (I had a lot of free time obviously). This year my wish got granted. Too bad now I lack the free time.

[HectixTulip]

talk about yourself, ill be busy with jedi survivor, dead island 2, zelda totk and redfall, aint got time for this shit.

[saint_seya]

Im interested in D4, may get FF16 and probably wont get SF6. I liked the beta of D4, so ill probably get it (dunno if at launch but probably ill do if i get it), FF16 im not sure because i always liked the FF games, and i like DMC games, but dunno how to feel about a FF that looks like a DMC. SF6 probably won get it since have a lot of fighting games, but lately almost never play them (i used to play a lot with friend when i was young, but now its by myself or online, so its not the same).

[shinoff2183]

What kind of indies we got comin

[radagem]

star wars, zelda, then sf 6. diablo 4 and ff 16 I'll grab down the road.

[gold_drake]

ff16 is literally a game one for me

the rest needs more deliberation haha

[PhillyDillyDee]

Given how different those games are, i dont share this take. SF looks good but I’m a Tekken guy and I havent played a FF since 10 launched. Diablo is the only one of those 3 that interests me and I wont even get it day 1.

[Soulsborne]

First time im assuming?

[ChasterMies]

Forget about June. I’m already drowning in PS+ games. Doom Eternal, Kena, Tchai, Sackboy, etc. I’ll check this year’s offerings sometime in 2025.

[sadraiden]

Diablo 4 is almost a punchline after the teensy little PR downturn that Blizzard has been experiencing for the last decade.

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

Diablo and FF16 is my top pics. I’m going to buy all the top games of June but those two will take priority.

[mastershredder]

Nah, no thanks to the been-done basic fodder one-trick pony games.

Fight stuff anywhere rather than in the street 6
Cringe beard 4
Fantasy Arrested Development with weeb tendencies XVI

I think we’ll be fine if were not following your mainstream as f line up.

[jznrpg]

FF16, Star Wars -Survivor then Zelda will be the order I play these most likely.

I’ll wait a few years to see if Diablo is good , doesn’t have crap MT’s and has the inevitable definitive edition available.

I will get SF6 someday but I’m not into fighters like I was in the past.
