Wallet Threat Level

Games
1945

I’m not sure about wallet threats this week. Maybe Frogun? It’s a N64-era platformer, those always ping my interest. Turbo Golf Racing for some people, probably? Maybe Hard West 2?

1946

It’s time for Two Point Campus! It’s on game pass though, so wallet threat is low. It’s time for Farthest Frontier, the new city builder from Crate, but it’s only Early access, so wallet threat is low. Spider-Man Remastered comes to PC this week, that’s got to be a high wallet threat for some, I bet.

1947

Really interested in this one - Grim Dawn made me a huge Crate fan, so of course I’ll check this out as soon as I can.

Intrigued by this one, but waiting for reviews.

Not a big wallet threat for me this week because I preordered it last week. :)

1948

By the way, just wanted to add this is a MAJOR wallet threat for me:

It was announced during this weekend (in EVO) and dropped today, so I can understand why it wouldn’t be in that list.

1949

Madden comes out this week. Probably a major wallet threat for people who buy Madden every year. I know a couple of people. None here at Qt3 though. The Kirby game this week seemed designed to induce cravings for cakes and other unhealthy snacks. It will result in a lower quality of life for a lot of people. That’s my prediction. Any other wallet threats for you this week?

1950

By the way, I’ve been trying to not spend money, for two releases, one of which is a week away now: Saints Row 2022 comes out next week.

1951

RPG Time looks very, very, VERY intriguing. I’ll wait a bit on impressions though, as that game’s been so long in the cooker. That always worries me.

And I agree, that Kirby game just looks gross.

1952


Regiments will also release tomorrow. Looking forward to this one.

1953

The DLC for The Ascent is by far the biggest threat.

1954

The latest official Touhou game hit yesterday and was my only wallet threat this week.

1955

From the video on the steam page, it looks like the player doesn’t take damage from enemy bullets? A bullet-hell shooter played on god mode?

1956

I think it’s more likely the player’s hitbox is much smaller than the model, which isn’t all that uncommon in shooters.

1957

Dive cubed speaks the truth: the hitbox is actually the glowing dot in the middle of the player’s sprite.

1958

Wow, that’s crazy. Now that I know, I can see it in the video that the glowing dot never gets hit. I never would have guessed that in a million years. It really looked like she was passing through bullets all the time.

1959

That’s the point, to make it look good when players get through the curtain of bullets. It’s an acquired taste!

1960

Wallet Threat Level unknown? I thought my wallet was under sever threat because I was for sure going to get the new Saints Row game this week. But it’s getting very poor reviews. Noooooo! Well, there’s a bunch of other games out this week.

  • Midnight Fight Express (PC, PS4, Xbox One)
  • Saints Row (PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S)

1961

Apparently it’s new to Steam.

1962

Yes, that’s interesting. I wonder how many sales a ten year old game can get on Steam just because it’s on steam now. Or is Guild Wars 2 free to play? In which case, I guess it should get a lot more eyeballs on steam.

1963

The entirety of the base game, which is the original game released back in the day, is completely free to play. The expansions and extra classes costs money.

1964

I’m buying it and all its expansions on day one.
