September to early December is when everything comes out, especially late October and early November. Publishers work hard to get their games on shelves for the Christmas gift shopping season, and there are nearly always far too many to even play, let alone buy.
Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.
Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?
I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.
If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.

Sure there is a lot of games on the whole, but for each individual system there isn't a ton of software being released during these months.
However, a couple of these titles will be huge so they should do well to serve as a gap filler until more games arrive down the road.
March is like the biggest lineup of games I've wanted in years...
Blazblue, Dark Souls 2, Deception IV, Final Fantasy X HD, InFamous Second Son, MGS V GZ, South Park, and Witch and the Hundred Knights...
Dang... I need more money... *sits in the corner with my empty wallet*
March is definitely stacked.
Tropical Freeze and Dark Souls 2 for me!
I don't consider this a gaming drought for XB1 owners, reason being, the average person doesn't play more than 3 games at a time.
The xb1 launched with 4 exclusives, all mutltiplates and 5 downloadable titles. In March they get the MS exclusive Titanfall, all of the mutltiplates a new character and story mode for Killer instinct.
I am personally looking forward to Infamous second son though, but I feel like after I beat that, in a few days, there will be another drought until later in the year.
Edit: I guess if you only like shooters or a certain genre then yes this is a drought for you. However someone like me who finds enjoyement in all types of games, this is far from a gaming drought on the xb1 side.
