GNamer Fantasy Games League (Year Three now underway!)

Surely Warcraft 3 is a lock?

Sekiro is currently sitting at a 92... all is looking good!

A couple of bids, I've noticed...

Well, one is mine, so that's to be expected - I nabbed Cadence of Hyrule. I spotted Smurf went for Yoshi's Crafted World too, which should do alright for itself.

Was anyone else unsuccessful going for those two?

I put in a half-hearted £39 bid for Cadence of Hyrule. There's still enough games out there that I'm not concerned about rushing for an eighth and final game. But with Cadence of Hyrule and those other games you've got, Jay, I think you're nailed on to win this.

I was weighing up Crafted World ever since the draft but wasn't too sure of it and even got a bit worried about it someone's counter-pick. A lot more confident in it since playing the demo though, well worth a go when I still have another space to use.

I do think Jay is in the driving seat as I reckon he'll get 95 points without counting Rage 2 as I've got nothing really to base a prediction on and he has a space left which could be anything.

I say that but I reckon my games will get me around 109 points and I don't know what points I get when Ghost of Tsushima doesn't come out this year.

You'll get minus points because it will come out and will be decent, hope this helps.

I'm surprised YCW is getting as high as 80, given its intensely simple feel. Still though, it's not bad. A solid choice.

Can't wait for Sayonara Wild Hearts to get all the GotYs.

You get 0. You don't lose anything, but you don't gain anything.

And I've got a date with Emma Stone next week

@Jay boo I should get all the points

You don't get anything for playing it safe - gotta gamble to get the gold.

I gambled and (I think) got gold! I stuck in a £0 bid for Borderlands 3 while it's release date was still to be announced. It's just been announced for September 2019 - that's me got my eight games 👌

I reckon that's risky pick.

Do you have The Last of Us Part 2? As it's showing on PSN under coming soon, which isn't that shocking but Death & Ghost aren't.

All my picks are risky picks, cause I've got baws the size of space hoppers 🍖

I think it'll do alright enough that it'll be worth it at £0. Your lineup is definitely the riskiest though, I'd say.

Smurf picks up a healthy 10 points for YCW - not bad at all!

Seems like Sekiro has settled on a 90, which was a little bit less than I'd hoped but still a damn nice score indeed.

I'm sure I bid on an eighth game, but nowt happened. Ah well. Back to mediocrity for me...

Kinda wish I didn't go with Yoshi now as something else has come to my attention that I think could be good that I'll be able to pick up for free, but with one game left and most of my budget left I feel I should save it for that surprise Metroid Prime 4 release at the end of the year.

I'm holding off till E3 season for my last pick. I don't want to regret jumping for something early, although I'll have to try and sneak it through as I don't have a lot of gamebucks left.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is coming this year which is good for Andy but I've got to say I was not impressed with the trailer with one part looking very last-gen and this is cinematic's not in game either.

A bit unfair to pass judgement now when it was just a full CGI trailer, isn't it? If the rumours of the combat being Souls/Sekiro-like are even a little bit true then this has the potential to be better than Jedi outcast II.

Sure but if a cinematic isn't looking great, doesn't make me optimistic for the actual game.

I thought it looked perfectly fine & got me intrigued enough for me to keep an eye out for when they eventually release gameplay.

I'm a little worried as I have it as my counter pick, trailer looked naff but I doubt Respawn will make a bad game so it'll probably be decent.

Aye, I reckon you'll be losing a fair few points with that one Smurf. I've got it pegged as getting 8s and 9s for the most part - Respawn are a quality developer and they've got some good names behind the game too.

After spotting The Last of Us Part II is on the coming soon page on PSN, Animal Crossing is no longer on the coming soon section of the eShop.

Should be some scoring soon for me and Jay this next week or so

Yep! Hoping for a solid showing from MK11 - it's looking tidy, so I hope it does well critically too. What's your game landing this week Mas?
