Games You're Looking Forward To

I'm praying the One Piece turn based rpg that comes out in a couple weeks doesn't suck. For the love of god, please be at least a 7... https://yo-game.jp/wp-content/uploads/one-piece-odyssey-xx_5.jpeg

Even tho May is still months away, and I don't have a Switch, Tears of the Kingdom is by far the game I'm looking forward to the most before the Summer season games release. I already told my friend irl that I'll be going over to her place every night to commandeer her Switch xD https://media.tenor.com/6A74jfdGqC8AAAAd/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-the-legend-of-zelda.gif

@verucassault I'm cautiously optimistic. Whole bunch of different studios from different countries are making new Silent Hills games. Some might be trash. Some might be good. I think Konomi is throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks. We shall see.

Was looking forward to Forspoken for a loooooong time. But all the signs are there that the game is trash... 1. The demo showed unimpressive graphics, a trash HUD, and verified how cringe the dialogue is 2. They withdrew the 2 year PS5 exclusive and are releasing it on PC simultaneously- An indication they realize it will bomb and are hoping to just make as much money right now as possible 3. The PC specs for "Recommended System Requirements" are: 8th gen i7 CPU, RTX 3070, and 24gb memory... JUST TO GET 30fps at 1440p loooooooool. To require that for a game that doesn't even look THAT great just screams poor development and optimization. 3a. The "Minimum" requirements are a 3rd gen i7 and GTX 1060... and that gets you 30fps at 720p. To put that in perspective, based on a survey Steam did a couple years ago, a GTX 1060 is the most common GPU power level of the average player on Steam. 4. It's 2 days before release and NO REVIEWS

I'm looking forward to the dead space remake that comes out Friday already got it pre-ordered and plan to play it as soon as I wake up Friday

First couple of Dead Space were fire. Since I already played the originals. I'm just gonna wait till the remake comes down in price to get it

Oh look, the Forspoken reviews are finally allowed to be released now that the game comes out at midnight... and of 62 individual reviews, it has an average score of 68/100. This is why I never pre-order games.

Anyone pre-ordering games still is literally mentally handicapped. After cyberpunk 2077 that should have been a sign you cant trust the video game industry anymore. Games like Anthem and others ship Dead on arrival and at like $70 and such there really is no reason to take the risk. Caliso protocol was one game people were hyped for and look how that was.

Not gonna lie I feel like I live in a whole different world than everyone saying "lol don't pre order games, everything is trash. in fact. stop playing video games, it's dead" I haven't ever felt like I took a risk in buying or preordering games ever. Every game I've preordered in the past decade I've enjoyed. The doom and gloom surrounding video games honestly gets extremely exhausting. I don't know how people do it when they literally can pick up so many dope experiences, like shit. try a new genre, play some indie games (more people should play Sifu tbh, that game is super underrated and came out last year), learn a fighting game. The industry isn't only the overhyped AAA games that flopped or had tons of issues on launch...and even then there has been still plenty of AAA games that were genuinely good in the past 5 years like God of War 2018/Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima, Red Dead Redemption 2, Spiderman, Sekiro, Elden ring, demon souls, Jedi Fallen order, Resident evil 2 remake, Resident evil village, and some others I'm probably forgetting but the flops stay in the public's consciousness longer because it's like a confirmation bias that gaming is doomed and ruined or something I guess? Not saying that there aren't some serious issues with trends that are being taken by multiple companies with super predatory microtransactions and general fuckery. But to say that people that preorder games are mentally handicapped is such an overexaggeration
