“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.
How would a year with Zelda, Alan Wake 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Street Fighter 6 and Like a Dragon Gaiden be bad? It was a great year.
Preaching to the choir brother. Beats me
I think it was because there were a few high profile let-downs, like Kerbal Space Program 2, Cities Skylines 2, Starfield etc. Even Zelda, which was eagerly anticipated, was only OK and interest fizzled out quite quickly.
Oh, you struck a nerve with KSP :( I still check weekly to see if they’re even to where they should have launched from, answer: no. I suppose, I did have my fair share of heartbreaks. There have just been years, like ‘14, where it was hard to even find the diamonds in the rough I suppose.
