Looks to be a few bangers in March - one game looks to be all anyone is talking about, can you guess what it is? I've already committed to Toxic Commando as my buddy and I just can't get enough of slaying zombies while we call everyone we work with utter twats. Crimson Desert is a Day 1 and Yotei Legends at noooooo cost.

I'll be going through RE on Switch 2 I think. Got Requiem alongside a double dip on 7 and 8 (just because the package deal was so good) - despite not really enjoying them previously. I never even bothered to finish 8.

I'm enjoying Requiem a lot so far. I'll give 7 and 8 another try once I've finished that one.

 

[Sticks]

Crimson Desert for sure. Might buy FF2 aka Project Zero. Does Super Mario Wonder get an upgrade for Switch owners?

 

[Loomy]

Curious about Crimson Desert. Primarily Marathon, plus some Legends at some point. RE9 eventually.

 

[StoopKidz]

Death Stranding 2 on PC (March 19th). Playing through RE9 too.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Planning on giving a try to these 2 games in March.

 

[mèx]

Homura Hime if it's not too janky. Otherwise I have a few things in my backlog: Travis Strikes Again, No More Heroes 3, Mafia 2 and Persona 3 Reload. Currently I'm playing Tokyo Xanadu eX+.

Crimson Desert... I just have a bad feeling about that game. If it turns out to be a banger, I'll add it to the list for sure.

Not sure what to expect from RUBATO and OPUS Prism Peak, I have them in my wishlist.

 

[owandeseis]

100% im playing the GOTY Slay the Spire 2, with high chances to play Crimson Desert too

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Going to beat Resident Evil Requiem since I doubt I'll beat it today with more slow and explorable I do things. I'm 8 hours in and still in the first major area. After that I'll go back to WoW Midnight full time for the rest of the month, I should be able to beat RE by before March 2nd which is the release of WoW Midnight.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Aion002]

Crimson Desert and Yotei Legends (I gotta finish the main story before the update).

 

[Killer8]

Resident Evil Requiem, I just bought a new RTX 5070 Ti to play it.

Ended up having a blast with the Marathon server slam too. Was skeptical about the game but i've now pre-ordered.

Going to try the Fatal Frame II remake's demo to decide if it's worth a buy.

Crimson Desert is looking promising. The latest Digital Foundry tech deep dive looked amazing, but I need gameplay impressions before I bite.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Most probably Crimson Desert.

I still have MH Stories 2 in the backlog, but if I end up enjoying it as much as I think I will I'll pick up MH Stories 3 down the line.

If Slay the Spire 2 were the full release I'd 100% play it. EA don't interest me much.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Crimson Desert, cant wait for that one.

these 2

and gonna give this early access a try

 

[marcincz]

Mainly backlog.
Professor Layton on NDS/3DS.
Maybe something else, too.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Started Xenoblade x last month…this is going to take me a minute

Might pick up leaf green too

If Crimson desert ends up living up to the hype, I'll likely grab it as well

 

[dreamstation]

Marathon on PC
Arc Raiders new expedition in less than 2 days

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Resident evil requiem when it arrives. Also been playing Jak and Daxter on PS2.

 

[TwinB242]

oof....im the lone Greedfall vote.

 

[The Fartist]

Fallout 3 and New Vegas

 

[falling into hell]

Like my fellow gaffers I will play Crimson Desert.

 

[Mr Hyde]

RE Requiem and after that Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly. Very excited for both.

 

[mdkirby]

Crimson and requiem…and prob a smaller indie or so. Vampire therapist maybe

 

[ThroatPie]

Crimson Desert and MLB for me in March. I might started MP4 too or OT0.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Crimson Desert and some backlog, mainly Lies of Pi and Blasphemous 1/2, just got them on a huge sales.

 

[EerieArcade]

I was originally going to pick up the new WoW expansion, but I'm not sure as there's a few other titles I have my eye on. Legacy of Kain Defiance Remastered and Legacy of Kain Ascendance are two games I'll be picking up for sure.

I want Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly. Question: Do I need to the play the first/other games first? Never played any of them but a series I've wanted to try for some time.

 

[ReBurn]

Definitely checking out the Super Mario Wonder content. Such a charming game. May get Crimson Desert on Steam since it will also be compatible with my MacBook, if the impressions here are good.

 

[Diva]

I will wait for Crimson desert reviews/player impressions, while playing Ninja Gaiden 4 dlc and trophy hunting RE9. Maybe will try Yotei's Legends mode.

 

[mrpants]

I am craving some Mario wonders, especially with the new movie coming up. Should be a fun one as usual.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Quite excited for Crimson Desert. Hope the game delivers, as I want a good and challenging combat system and a nice world to explore with a lot of player agency.

 

[R6Rider]

Marathon and Crimson Desert.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake

 

[adamsapple]

A lot more RE Requiem to try and 100% it.

Then Fatal Frame, WWE 2K, Crimson Desert (probably), Life is Strange (probably).

 

[bender]

I'm hoping the Fatal Frame 2 remake is good and also interested to read impressions/reviews of Crimson Desert.

 

[Topher]

Crimson Desert and possibly Greedfall

 

[Daniel Thomas MacInnes]

Animal Crossing: New Leaf on Nintendo 3DS. That's pretty much my go-to videogame right now. There's also Mario Kart 7 that might grab my attention now and then, and there's always the Atari 5200 games on OpenEmu if I ever need a quick fix--Mario Bros Encore, Ms Pac-Man Encore, Pac-Man, maybe Space Invaders. If I get the mood for Atari 2600 games, it's almost certainly going to be Yars' Revenge, Space Invaders and Food Fight.

Oh, and there's always Ms Pac-Man on Sega Genesis. I have an Atari-era Wico joystick that I plug in and use when playing.

 

[touchfuzzy]

Pokemon Pokopia and Dysplaced early access this week. Then Mario Wonder at the end of the month. Still working my way though DQVII Reimagined as well. Quieter month but I expect those two releases this week to be time sinks.

I also have a Kickstarter game coming out on the 31st, Little Nemo. Almost forgot!

 

[bighugeguns]

Black Ops 7, WOW Classic, give BF6 another spin, whatever is cool on Gamepass, maybe grab something cheap on Steam. It's a simple life.

Maybe slowly start rotating my gaming lens of interest to the past, retro gaming (even a few years old) seems like a much happier scene without the ever increasing and hysterical chokehold of artificial hype and marketing drowning out the good vibes.

It's also way less expensive!

 

[Tomorrow]

Marathon.

RE9 can wait.

 

[Labadal]

On PC: Stellar Tactics, and Banquet for Fools

On PS5: Yakuza 0

 

[xrnzaaas]

Planet of Lana 2, still planning to replay the first game before the sequel comes out.

Fatal Frame probably not day1, maybe I'll get it if there's going to be a chance to pick up a retail version for a reasonable price, but that's probably unlikely.

 

[Bartski]

Ghost of Yotei : Legends and Planet of Lana II.

That's it.

Pains me to say Crimson Desert will have to wait, the game is just too big

 

[yogaflame]

Will try to get platinum on RE9 and get all endings and sidequest, etc. And some BF6. Crimson desert is on my radar.

 

[BlakeofT]

Haven't beaten DQ7 yet, so it's a priority. I've got Mega Man Star Force Collection preordered and can't wait for it, and I might get Pokemon Pokopia. Crimson Desert looks cool, but I don't think I have room to play it until later on in the year.

 

[rkofan87]

a couple of late announced March bangers.

 

[Hadoukens]

After finishing RE9 and Shinobi Art of Vengeance, I had another itch for another horror game so I bought several during the Steam sale.

Crow Country had great reviews. I'm loving it so far. The combat is a bit wonky but nothing bad or intolerable. It works fine just requires some precision that I didn't expect lol. There's no auto aim and your gun hovers a bit like in RE4. It basically IS RE4 aim without autoaim, that's a good description. But you also have to point your character and camera. It really is fine just unexpected lol.


The aesthetic, music, and sound design is really atmospheric, sets the mood way better than I thought it would.


The story is written well and funny within its context which is a welcome surprise and I like the setting and puzzles a lot so far. Barring any showstoppers I'm definitely gonna see this one through! Really fucking cool stuff here! I'll give my thoughts again after I finish it.


Unfortunate there wasn't an OT here in case I have questions lol.
