Sony also thought Foamstars was worth buying exclusivity for. I think Sony is simply in a "we need as many 1st-party gaas as possible" so they're basically throwing shit at the wall hoping something sticks like HD2
With 40$ price is dead as dodo.
There are a lot of games I'm interested, but I don't have enough time to justify buying them.
While indies and smaller games are, as usual, showing up in droves, it has been an awful year for bigger titles. Between Persona 3 Reload, Dragon's Dogma 2, and Shadow of the Erdtree, I have also found the slate of AAA games to be disappointing. FF7 Rebirth would probably be my GOTY, and that's a low bar especially after that clustertruck of an ending.
Eh the ending is like 2% of a 120 hour game that is full of the highest quality stuff I've seen in games in an incredibly long time. It'll be my easiest choice for goty in probably 15 years. I still can't believe that game was real and came out in current times with how much budget has restricted what games can do.
You leave Space Marine 2 out of this, you monster.
Oh god tell me about it
I finished almost 50 games this year already and the vast majority of them were bangers.
I've lost control of my life. Now that I've finished Erdtree, I got back on that Maplestory bullshit. I've been playing that shit on and off for almost 20 years.
I'm not complaining I'm glad it's a light year. I need time to catch up from last year's stuff.I finished almost 50 games this year already and the vast majority of them were bangers.
(Standouts so far)
Given the amount of games out there, any complaints about not having to play anything made anytime past 1990 are just a self-inflicted wound.
Random ass better game has better numbers.
Point is that behind Concord there is Sony and we saw much worse games from big publishers at least attract people during beta.
That is seriously impressive. I think it's an indication that the platform is still getting a constant influx of new users.
Feels like one of those transition or mid gen years. Sports games and COD will probably dominate all the sales talk while the Switch has a few nice things.
I didn't even say anything
Historically the year after legendary years in gaming is usually pretty weak even when games came out faster than they do now.
It's long past time Valve did something about the hate groups and similar bad actors on Steam.
My main issue is that Ubisoft itself is talking about historical accuracy a lot. Then when they need to bend it then they talk how it is fiction. And i personally don't have anything against Yasuke but i would prefer that they used native protagonist for both male and female.
By ending I meant final chapter, which is around the last 10%. I was loving it up until that point, but they completely botched THE scene. Nearly 6 months later and I"m still mad.
I wouldn't say I'm dependent on AAA games. Some of the best games I've played this year are indie (Balatro) or lower budget (Unicorn Overlord). At the same time I also like my AAAslop.
Is it just with this game that Ubisoft is talking about how historically accurate it is? Or has this been something in more recent year, in general, where they have been saying that despite some of the scifi elements of AC that they try to make them as historically accurate as possible.
500 games releases in general on all devices every week, 200 of them are mediocre and above, 100 of them are and good or above good.
I've gotten a bit addicted to Sekiro. About ~35 of those hours are from 2019 when I first played it, but I've done two consecutive runs in the past week. After playing Elden Ring, I appreciate how smaller scale and laser focused Sekiro is. I also love the combat system and while it is a one trick pony, it's one hell of a pony.
I won't say it is From's best game, but it is their most consistent. Nearly every other Souls game (and Bloodborne) has at least one major thing in it I simply don't like while the worst thing I can say about Sekiro is that I don't like how some minibosses are rehashed.

Its closest competition right now is a DLC that may not even get nominated and barring some out of left field surprise I don't see anything upcoming that's going to be a contender other than astrobot maybe. After nearly 7 months it's still the clear frontrunner.
