Is it Safe Now? Big Game Realeases Done for the Year?

Feels like I have exhausted my credit card over the last few months and most of the big game titles have been released for the year....is it safe now or is there any other big titles still to release in 2016?  I believe some titles still remaining that might interest people include Strategic Command 3, Planet Coaster, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and Watchdogs 2....but is that it?

I hope so, my budget can't take anymore and I need to find time to play what I already have:)

Of course we do have to survive all the holiday sales on older games....

There will most likely be some more new games released before the end of the year, but you may be safe depending on the genres of games you like to play.

Definitely do not buy Dishonored 2 right now!! Wait for a technical optimization patch. Kills me to type that...

I am probably one of the few, but did not even enjoy the first version.

I kind of did, but eventually dropped it and uninstalled after probably 2/3 of it?

There are always a bunch of holiday releases.

Although the rate has probably dropped since the proliferation of Early Access.  Before, the publishers would just push unfinished games out, with an X-Mas deadline, for the sales season.  Now more of them are being released into alpha and beta state EAs before the season is anywhere near.  Which is probably a good thing, on balance.

Not sure there are many "big" titles that weren't already mentioned but certainly I am sure plenty of Indie type games lined up...although I think I am pretty safe from buying those since nothing on my immediate radar.  For me, really only two comes to mind.....possibly Strategic Command 3 (unsure) and Wolverine's College Football, if it releases this year and looks decent....of course if some old titles go majorly on sale, can't rule those out:)

Planet Coaster drops next week....

Planet Coaster drops next week....

Yep, picked that up in early access a long time ago...although haven't really played that much.  Hoping it turns out well.

Based on what I've seen, there are lots of tools for creating great looking scenery and parks.  I hope the actual gameplay/park management side is up to snuff.

From my understanding, if you have early access you should be able to download + play the beta, which is running right now.

Correct, I downloaded it this week....just havent had time to play yet, hopefully will over the weekend.  It certainly looked promising when I last played a few months ago.

Be sure to post your impressions of Planet Coaster once you've played it - I'm 95% ready to pull the trigger on it.  My hopes are really high for it, but that also means the potential for disappointment is equally high!

Dawn of Andromeda should come out before the end of the year. I am cautious but it might be interesting.

A live streaming is planned for the 17th of November:

We are going to do a live stream for Dawn of Andromeda the 17th November along with the Iceberg Interactive crew. It will be the first time we show gameplay footage in quite some time, so make sure you don't miss it!

I hope that turns out to be good!

I bought it the other day. Been dabbling a little bit in the beta. So far I'm liking what I see, although some of the controls are not as intuitive as I'd like. Need more time with it before I can say buy or not but initial impression is good.

yeah, I need to watch some tutorials....even struggling laying down paths and connecting rides.  But it looks great so I think in the end it will be good, if you like these types of games.  I just like to dabble, I will never be able to create the great parks talented people can:(

Never played these games before....how good are they from a single player standpoint?  Is there an official forum somewhere that these games are discussed?

The tabletop version is a solitaire game.
