dang, you might be right; it could be disapointing....You better temper your expectations on that one more than any other release in years.
Come on G, you know Im not that extreme
It's the writing, humor, and design Im dicey on now that the old guard is long gone.
Whats the deal with Forza
I thought it "destroys" GT7
That's exactly why I think they will go that route though. I'm not sure they even have the capacity to come up with something worthy of continuing the legacy of the series from a SP perspective. That combined with the fact that it's the multiplayer that has been the primary area of success for them in recent years, I struggle to not see the writing on the wall.
OP. It just means you've been putting your faith in the wrong games and studios.Forza has been the final nail in the coffin.
From this point forward, I just don't see me getting excited about game releases anymore. Every AAA developer is full of shit. Graphical downgrades, dishonest information, predatory mechanics, blah blah fucking blah, and every release is a shit show. I'm over it.
When your game goes on sale for a third of what you sold it for, and everything is patched up to the point where it actually resembles what was promised, I'll buy.
Short of that, get bent. AAA gaming is a lost cause. Fucking burn it.
Developers realizing they can announce a game 8 years earlier, only to actually start working on it 2 years before release by overworking their employees to release a barely functional game and still see massive profit:
And, lord willing, Konami shall also returnThe hype train ain't going nowhere as long as these guys are still around:
Most of their sales are from single player.Yeh it wouldn't surprise me if they scrapped the single player and went multiplayer only for that one.
You might say they will forever be Unforgiven!Dude, this is exactly how I felt when Metallica released their first ballad. Fuck those sell outs.
Spider-man 2 releases in 10 days OP. Chill.
This year in particular, we had an extremely large number of good games.
For me personally anything Marvel related is opposite of hype.....buying that game is asking for having bad time and at that point that my own fault rather gaming industry as whole.No reason for the hype train for this one for me personally. We all know what we're getting. Another Ubi influenced, checkbox, cinematic open worlder with insane production values and probably a lot of forced diversity and socio political bullshit shoehorned in to keep the blue hairs and kids collecting their disability checks at bay.

Not enough GaaS and live service games for you this year?
Depends on where they put the traffic cones.Whats the deal with Forza

I'm mature enough to recognize quality in the SP space. I'll give Baldurs Gate 3 props, even though it's not my type of game. Everything else looks overhyped and overinflated, with very little long term impact. The marketing branch of this industry desperately wants 2023 to be..."OMG one fo the best years ever! Buy buy buy!"Not enough GaaS and live service games for you this year?
I barely had anything to play last year, and other than Elden Ring and God of War, I don't really remember anything. This year I don't have enough time to even play through all these great games.
I dont know what exact that means? I playing games Armored Core VI and Resident Evil 4 Remake and enjoying crap out of them so to me the HYPE was definitely justified.I'm mature enough to recognize quality in the SP space.

Have 5 games preordered for just this month alone lol. 2023 hype train never stops!
Just dont buy microsoft games lol.
This year has been awesome gaming wise for me, one of the best in recent memory.
It's hard for me to put stock in any one gamers opinion about a certain game. I care about the key metrics. I don't think anything had any lasting effect on the industry. Great years influence the future of the industry. 2023 just had a lot of formulaic games that will largely be forgotten by 2024, IMO.I dont know what exact that means?

Same. I feel OP’s vibe but 2023 has been an absolute banger,
thats mostly true for you since you are much more into social gaming, Fortnite and all that type of stuff, I will never forget great experience like Armored Core VI same way I didn't forget games like Sekiro.It's hard for me to put stock in any one gamers opinion about a certain game.

Yes, 13 Sentinels people, their next game looks amazing tooYou forgetting....
Yeah, this is dumb. Games like TOTK, RE4, and BG3 will not be forgotten for years, if ever.It's hard for me to put stock in any one gamers opinion about a certain game. I care about the key metrics.
