Shadow of the Erdtree is going to be GOTY and it won't even be close, but Balatro and Helldivers 2 will be competing hard for second place for sure imo

FF7 Rebirth doesn't even have a steam page yet so I doubt it's gonna come out this year :shrug:

It might come out this year but definitely not on Steam. Squeenix has some sort of deal with Epic so even when it comes out on PC it's probably gonna be Epic exclusive for a while.

Best game of the year is going to be whatever comes out that deeply emotionally resonates with me or blows my mind in some profound way because loving around with a well made toy feels kind of wack in comparison to like Kentucky Route Zero rending my soul in twain by the time it was over.

One of the big reasons why imo Grim Fandango is one of the greatest games ever made. Pulls you into its world, is genuinely funny, is genuinely sad, and by the end you wish you never had to leave the experience behind because the place it took you to was so fascinating and filled with so many characters you just wanted to keep spending time with. All of that, and the gameplay is doing inane puzzles with poo poo tank controls lol.

Give me that any day over some poo poo I'll just forget 90% of in the next 6 months.

Yeah games that make you think are also valid and extremely interesting. Zachtronics games are some of my favs and Dyson Sphere Program/Factorio rule, but those have actual problem solving elements to them, versus like adventure game puzzles supposedly making you "think."

Yeah they had a lot of good gags using the dialogue trees, like making a lovely poem at the Blue Casket and the ensuing joke lol.

It's been elden ring month in my house, playing modded co-op elden ring with my brother. It's been "a blast"

Here's imo the neatest, smartest thing the mod we're using (elden ring reforged) does:
After you upgrade a weapon to the maximum possible level for each given upgrade material, that upgrade material immediately becomes available to purchase, allowing your non-main weapons to painlessly keep up

Medals only weigh one down.

One of my all-time favorites, my forever game, Besiege, is unexpectedly getting an expansion pack out of the blue in just over a month. Going to add ocean-based siege engineering jank goodness to an already pretty great game. Particularly cool that it's not just still water, but like, roiling ocean physics mechanics. I'm unironically more hyped for this than I have been for any release in the last like 2 years :v:

What game was it semi-recently that was the most egregious form of that?

It was a war FPS or something that had like 2-3Mb of files on a DVD/blu-ray and you had to download the other 40-50Gb+ off the net.

Absolutely beyond wasteful behaviour.

I was honestly thinking Outlaws wouldnt come out this year. That is not far away at all.

And I kinda like how the main character has a little late 70s style to her that makes her feel like she could have been in the OT

From the trailer too, it looks to take place in the OT timeline, just before Return of the Jedi.

Because it's Ubisoft, I'm allowed to complete 180 on Outlaws, but I'm hoping it's good! I should restart and finish Forbidden West finally before it comes out.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Don't really care about Star Wars but the main character is a chick in a cool jacket so I probably will play it.

I think UBISoft upped the price of this to like $18, but yeah you can do this, and you'll get three day early access.

Doesn’t really matter if the game’s good, but the mocap/lipsyncing looked a little janky for a high budget game.

Don't worry, in the very last fight she'll force push/pull something without trying to save someone, and then *rolls dice* Kit Fisto shows up and hands her a lightsaber.

Star Wars has gone off the deep end. As far as I'm concerned Kyle Katarn is the only canon.
