Something tells me this might not be a good year for games...

Just ignore the "triple A" industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.

Pirating this pirate game would be funny. But it's a Ubisoft game, so even free is too expensive.

Fun meme, but honestly I think the only folks it's gonna be a bad year for are AAA game devs, who I already sympathize with.

I think indies are gonna keep rocking some outstanding content. Content made with and for love will always beat content made for money IMO :)

Hey now, teamforetress 2 got a 64 bit beta that improved the game performance by a solid 20-30%

Valve might finally make the Heavy update

Curious question: when was the last time a large scale "Triple A" title released and actually met expectations?

Worst game of the year so far.

I'll be over here playing my dwarf games.

“Might not be a good year for games.” Idk, we’ve already had the surprise with palworld, which, while it didn’t really grab me, was a breath of fresh air for people. Helldivers slaps. I think the key is not to buy into hype, and play actually good games. People like to say 23 was a bad year too, but, I’d argue that stinkers like gollum just got more coverage and were on top of people’s minds. Not to excuse it at all, but, I played a lot of really good games last year.

Depends what you want.

I'm hoping it's the year of the live service graveyard though.

Forspoken came out at the start of last year and we also got Redfall. 2023 was a stacked year for games.

Maybe the more bad games that come out mean we're also getting good ones to balance things.

The worst game of the year so far.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth came out this year. There's literally nothing to complain about. Best game

I got it for 38€ and I actually really like it.

There’s a bunch of videos on YouTube now separately comparing Batman Arkham Knight to Gotham Knights/Suicide Squad, and AC4: Black Flag to Skull and Bones.

There is absolutely a trend of brain drain in game development that no amount of contractors can fill now.

Games are looking great this year! Earthblade by the creators of Celeste, Hades 2, Silk song (I Believe) If you ignore AAA, it's going great!

tbh the game this seems to be about "Skull and Bones" isn't even that bad... The character models (especially faces) look pretty bad and I haven't tried intentional multiplayer, but that's all I've really noticed (played it for about 6-7 hours, including open beta)

Worst game of the year so far

Me hoping that the next Obsidian game isn't disappointing.

People still watch Sub Optimal Gaming? His content is boring and he was a literal gamergater.

I don't know guys. It seems Unisoft have lost it. I don't buy games from them anymore. I don't know what happened to me, but after I made the decision, I found myself buying Far Cry 6 even though I hated Far Cry 5 with passion (I think it was Gustavo Fring). I am 2 hours in and I am not feeling it. The prologue was nice but then it turned into random missions. Go do this, do that. Should I just drop the game?
