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!
It’s ok, this game is AAAA so AAA will be ok. /s
Lol
Did anyone say Silksong?
Trails through daybreak, dragons dogma 2, avowed, Indiana Jones are all games I’m looking forward to off the top of my head. Trails through daybreak is actually the game I’m most excited about.
Since it’s punching up I’ll allow it.
Are you telling me the world’s first “quadruple A” game isn’t very good? I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you!
Please calm down ComradeChairman! It was a mistake, honest! Our next release will fix all your qualms, please pay $69.99 to see for yourself.
Just ignore the “triple A” industry and games are usually great. Lots of small passionate studios still pumping out quality stuff.
This is not a triple A game actually. Ubisoft CEO referred it as a four A. AAAA.
More A equals more good
To investors who know shit about gaming, not to gamers…maybe he meant the costs which could be in the 4A sector after all this time 😅
While “AAA” has lost all meaning: even in that space we have some real bangers already
Yakuza/Like a Dragon 8 is already in the running as one of the all time great JRPGs (and probably a top 50 GOAT in terms of games period). FF7R2 is going to have to REALLY screw up for fans to not feel strongly about it. And Dragon’s Dogma 2 is, somehow, showing all signs of actually being faithful to the incredibly weird original. We also might be seeing Elden Ring DLC sooner than later.
Two months in and, gaming wise, 2024 is shaping up really well. Like most years, people see what they want to see. If you want to say things are a flop, there are flops. If you want to say things are awesome, there are some truly amazing games.
I’m so excited for 7 rebirth. And one I’ve finished that I’ll be getting persona 3 reload to replay one of my favourite games. With those two alone and me catching up on some of last year’s games, this year is going to be a good one for me.
Ubisoft also published the best game of the year, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Best metroidvania game I’ve played in a long time.
Seriously. I’ve been playing Ready or Not, Palworld, and Helldivers 2 lately, and I’m having a great time with gaming.
Yea I’ve mainly been focusing on smaller games recently. Last AAA game I bought was Cyberpunk 77, which I enjoyed but was a whole thing. There’s so many good indy games coming and going its definitely worth it to look into some of them
Are they? Because the past few years indie games for me have been nothing but early access underdeveloped bare bones crap.
I played the demo for Mouthwashing and it was excellent. Nice little horror game without jump scares that really evokes dread.
The Deep Rock Survivors game is pretty cool too. Lots of neat stuff coming out these days.
Honestly really liking DRG Surviors, and I usually don’t like the genre.
“But Muta, it’s only February!”
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.
We have also had, Tekken 8, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Persona 3r and Helldivers 2.
A couple bad/mediocre games is to be expected when we are only in Feb and this year is such a fucking banger for games already.
Was this irony or did you just associate Forspoken with “good”?
I meant Forspoken and Redfall were examples of bad games we got last year. The spectrum of fully mid to fully awful.
I got it for 38€ and I actually really like it.
According to the reviews, you’re wrong. Stop having fun
Game is sitting on a 6/10 on opencritic, that’s still an okay game for me 😅
I don’t know why opencritic labels it as weak. For me its always 6=okay, 7=good, 8=very good, 9=awesome, 10=Masterpiece…
It cracks me up how a scale of one to ten is always actually a scale of six to ten. Or maybe five to ten of they really hate the thing.
Worst game of the year so far.
I’ll be over here playing my dwarf games.
Rock n Stone!
Strike the earth!
That’s what you get when you engage with clickbait
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?
FC6 was the first ubi game I really disliked. same as you a few hours in and I just couldn’t get into the vibe of it. I really liked FC5 (possibly in my top 10 of all time) but 6 felt like such a miss
Ubisoft lost it after AC Brotherhood.
I’m have the exact opposite reaction right now. I stopped buying Ubi games years ago, but through give aways I got Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla for free. I never touched them until recently when a friend started playing through Odyssey and was talking about how much fun he was having. I installed Origins and played though it (because I can’t skip games in a series) and I kinda enjoyed it. Then I played Odyssey and it blew me away with how much fun I had. I’m on to the second DLC of it, and when I’m done I’ll start up Valhalla.
As far as Far Cry games go, though, I haven’t enjoyed one since 3.
I’ve played Odyssey and it was fairly fun to play, but Valhalla to me seemed a bit, idk, empty? Not much parkouring around in large towns like an assassin when the buildings are pretty sparse and small.
Why not pirate it first if you didn;t enjoy the last one? I disliked 5, pirated 6 and found out very early that it wasn’t gonna be good.
Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth came out this year. There’s literally nothing to complain about. Best game
This - I hate when gamers have too much attention on which games are bad, and none on the good games.
I have a page of Steam reviews where I give a thumbs up to a bunch of indie darlings, then a negative review to a live service game, and only the negative review has votes on it.
What the hell, that game costs more than 100 cad after tax
How else do you think they’ll get infinite wealth?
Yeah games are too much now. Luckily this has over 100 hours of gameplay so I’m okay with it. Put 110 hours in the last one and loved every second
Worst game of the year so far
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 :)
I’m cautiously hopeful about Nightingale. The game trailers and $30 tag caught my interest. I’ve played a LOT of survival games and only played a few extensively, like Valheim. But survival games are a huge time sink, so I can’t give most of them the time they deserve. But the multiplayer and community aspect for Nightingale makes it seem worth the time.
Just gotta wait a bit after release for the reviews.
Yeah the flow of great indie games isn’t going to dry up any time soon. So many developers willing to actually take risks with their games and not just churn out another copy of a copy of a copy. Art needs passion to be good.
I see Tintin meme, I upvote. Make more memes with Tintin & cpt. Haddock pls
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)
I think that in a vacuum the game isn’t that bad, but given the context of how much it costs, how long it’s been in development, being hailed as the first “AAAA game”, and the fact that they literally made a better version of this game 11 years ago and the game is only mediocre I totally understand why this game has gotten the reaction it has.
Ahh, I didn’t know about the AAAA part, with that in mind, yeah it should be mocked to death
The CEO also called it “the first AAAA” game, hence the jokes being made about how shit it is.
again to investors.
That doesn’t make it better.
it also don’t make it a bad game
No, that’s being a bad game that does that.
But hey, you’re allowed to like bad games.
he meant AAAAH but forgot the H
He must be really scared of pirates
