Season 18, Episode 37

In-Game Chat

It’s kind of strange how it now feels like we’re done with the year, gaming wise. And I mean as far as releases go. I know there’s likely plenty to fill the shelves in the coming weeks and that Indiana Jones game in December, but…what else?

That whole thing about “the coming weeks” is just me thinking there has to be something coming out this month worth paying attention to, but I don’t actually know that. It’s odd, but it really feels like we’re kinda done until next year.

I’m not really complaining about it. Maybe in years past it might feel a bit odd, but I’m perfectly okay with NOT waiting on another game to see how it turns out and how long it’ll be before I get around to playing whatever it is.

Currently, as I do around this time every year, I’m not buying anything gaming related. We’ve got holiday sales approaching and it’s the better time to buy – if you play on console. As we all know a lot of the Black Friday deals and discounts sort of pass by the PC market. The PC online storefronts all have their sales on games, but it usually doesn’t match the kinds of discounts we see in both the digital and physical console games market. I dunno if that trend has been breaking but I look forward to finding out every year.

I also look forward every year to news of a new Splinter Cell game. Seems it won’t be this year – the VGA’s are about a month away however. Ubisoft, it has been 4,093 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released.
