The biggest announcement was probably that I have to treat myself to a chonky SSD for Christmas.

Nice to see From Software finally realize that co-op is the best thing about their games.
I'm not much one for rougelikes, but I'm absolutely willing to make an exception for this.
This might have been the most impressive show of all time when it comes to the sheer quantity and quality of announcements.
Happy to see that Ciri really is the protagonist of TW4.
Man, so many surprises.
But first of all, Rebirth in January! Fuck yeah!

So appears Jason Schrier was right. I was not expecting Okami to be there. That has really made me morning.
Nice to see FFVII Rebirth there. I still have major misgivings over the direction they are taking, but will never say no to more Tifa. However that will have to wait for a discount.
New Helldivers 2 trailer has got me wanting to reinstall and revisit the game.
On a separate note, I have been playing the calamity mod these last few months. Been really enjoying the challenge the game offers. So I am thinking it may be time to go back to Dark Souls and give that a go. Tried it back when it first came to PC but bounced of it due to the difficulty.

I remember the books getting some backlash when the focus shifted to Ciri, the game will definitely get the same discourse from some people. Fuck them.
The fact that Ciri is still getting started as a Witcher and is still trying to figure out her place in the world, gives them much more freedom to write the story.
Geralt's personality and moral codex were already set in stone, with Ciri they have the possibility to go in unexpected directions.
And as a huge fan of the books I'm happy to see her story continue in some form. Geralt's story has been told, as much as I love him. People need to learn to let go.

I need to start finishing some games I'm juggling between to save some space too. And I have a Synology for external storage too, it's just games folders taking the space now.
Slowly catching up with things. What I will say is if your not putting up a Steam page soon after an announcement to allow people to wishlist your doing it wrong. I can't remember all this shit.
Just finished watching the show, thought it was pretty great this year! Definitely excited for that new Naughty Dog game, depending how it play of course.
I really need to play Astrobot, glad I have a PS5 now. The passion from those devs was touching. Before the show I didnt believe in the game but after I am glad they won.

Okami 3 was my OMG moment. I mean, it's no Half-Life 3 but I'll take it.
I gifted my buddy a copy, but I don't care to replay it any time soon (probably not until part 3 is close to release in a few years).

Out of everything i've glanced at so far i'm actually really looking forward to "The Outer Worlds 2" and it probably would have been my "Holy Shit" moment if i cared enough as i wasn't expecting a new one after the first seemed to get universally moaned about.
I didn't mind it though and had a good time and was thinking about doing another playthrough over Christmas break so this announcement has cemented that idea.
Witcher 4 etc sure but i was expecting that one and the ND game is a way off for PC i assume.
Also, i'm more hyped about Xenoblade Chronicles X Definitive Edition being released in March for the Switch tbh. Love that game! Can't wait!

The only highlights of the show for me were the Witcher 4(I was hoping for a customizable character, I'll take Ciri over another gravelly dude though), Dispatch, and Solasta II. Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophecy would also tempt me when it comes out on PC at some point.
I was hoping Light No Fire would show up again. It's been a year since the trailer and nothing has been said since!

Outer World 2 was revealed back in 2021. The reveal trailer was really funny. Give it a watch!
A Screamer racing game? Now that's a blast from the DOS past!

And yet Sony still haven't released Demon Souls, a game that seems like an absolute no brainer for PC.
I always rate a show by the amount of games I wishlist/buy at launch
So for this TGA I'll give a HOLY SHIT/10 rating

Didn't get time to post here during because of work, but excellent show. My highlights = Project Century, VF5 REVO, FF7 Rebirth (hopefully good on deck edition), Onimusha, helldivers 2 controller that I'll probably buy, warframe 1999 tomorrow, and a new trent reznor + atticus ross soundtrack that ships with some game.

So, I didn't notice this because of the pre-order sale, but VII Rebirth is launching at 70€ versus how VII Remake launched at 80 (on EGS, it was on sale day one on Steam but base price was still 80)
And now VII Remake is priced at 40€ base. It seems the 80 bucks price point was a much harder pill to swallow that many publishers thought

A decent base price, a decent launch discount, an early launch date and no egs exclusivity bullshit
this is not my square enix anymore
Schreier was right. I actually did say, Holy s**t!
yeah im excited for this! Loved the first one what I played, didnt play too much, really need to go back to it.

Yeah, Rebirth is 40 Euro flat on GMG for me, that's an actually decent price.
Hell, there's a chance the port will be decent. Square is still really erratic when it comes to port quality game-by-game, but the worst they tend to make nowadays isn't really that bad.
I'm really not holding my breath for adequate port quality.
I'd be positively surprised if they have a working LoD / draw distance setting or ultrawide support (never mind both).

Just watched the game awards and I have to say it was a surprisingly good show without much cringe and filler. Didn't need to skip that much this time around.
Pretty happy with Clive being in Tekken. I'm playing trough FF7 Remake right now and Tifa seems kinda bland anyway so Clive together with Torgal looks way more hype.

The Golden Age of Yugioh. That's pretty good in my books. Can't wait for that collection Steam deck. Also in for Taisho Yakuza. Show was otherwise equal parts ignore and wishlist fodder. Most things fell along the love it or hate it line.
For Elden Ring, I hope they allow for offline play with AI like how FFXV's Multiplayer DLC was. That's my red line for buy or straight to the trash.

The blog post mentions the possibility of going solo at least:
FromSoftware and Bandai Namco reveal ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN
ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN will launch in 2025 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
I quite liked the Game Awards this year! I kinda regret watching it live, it killed my sleep .., but yeah, good show! They improved pretty much everything, I'd say. I didnt have any expectations, so I can only say I was pleasantly surprised to see the Witcher 4 (I was hoping Ciri would become the protagonist ever since she was playable in short sequences in The Witcher 3) trailer and the Elden Ring game (remains to be seen if its for me; I dont enjoy coop or roguelike games much).
Some acceptance speeches were really nice and even touching to see; and Swen Vinckes speech was great.
It had cool moments, some funny, some awkward, some boring, but hey, thats par for the course if youre making a show like this that is supposed to cover all gaming genres and niches; and I think they overall do a very good job at that.
Im also glad The Last of Us II will come to PC; and its nice to see pretty much everything shown coming to Steam.

So tempted to get Forza Horizon 4 before it disappears, I both do want to play it but not sure when I would get to it. but it is also pricey for a +1, (have to get the ultimate for the lego stuff) since I need to save for winter sale.... hmmmm!

"Did you hear there were rumors that they were gonna announce Half-Life 3?" "Yeah, well they weren't wrong, this show did end up getting Half-Life 3!" "How so?" "It went on for so long, they stole half of my life for free!" "DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO"

Lenovo might soon announce a SteamOS handheld
The Legion Go S has a Steam button next to its display.

Wrote up some early thoughts on Path of Exile 2 on RPG Site after retesting the game across all updates since launch and redoing the opening again today and yesterday on my Deck and Ally.
Tifa is too hot. I can't focus on anything when she's on screen. Well, I'm focusing on something but it sure as hell isn't the plot.
Looking at the reactions to Naughty Dog's Intergalatic game and Witcher 4, a lot of gamers are a bunch of assholes.

Well, you got one prediction right at least
lmao, accurate
game couldn't look less interesting if it tried, but that soundtrack is going to be in my rotation for years I am sure
PlatinumGames might be dying with several departures being noticed:

This isn't just a reaction thread to the Okami news, there's some evidence. Metal Gear Rising director Kenji Saito, Astral Chain director Takahisa Taura, and Anarchy Reigns director Masaki Yamanaka have all removed the "PG" from their Twitter handles. Indicating they're no longer working at the...

This reminds me of Pseudoregalia having an accessibility option to give the main character pants.
All i want to look at is Tifas eyes.
All i want to hear is Tifas voice.
All i want to smell is Tifas post workout sweat.
I want to walk the same earth as Tifa.
I want to breathe the same air as Tifa.
I want to hit the same gym as Tifa.
If Tifa needs a car, she can have my legs.
If Tifa needs a chair, she can have my back.
if Tifa needs a punchbag, she can have my chest.
I must say that one thing from TGA that made me bit sad was new Warren Spector game. I really wish it was SP game and not MP one.
