BurningnnTree, do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

I assume you’re talking specifically about upcoming games that haven’t been released yet? Yeah I can’t really think of anything coming up that I’m excited about. Currently the only games I’m looking forward to are Metroid Prime 4 (if it ever comes out) and the indie game Dreamsettler (the sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw)

Vordus, do gaming w Feel like a weak year for games?

The problem you’ve got is that the two lists that you’re looking at are ones with concrete release dates, and we’re currently in the period of the year where the release dates are the hardest to come by. Basically everyone’s either just started their fiscal Q1 and so have a completely clear slate, or like Microsoft have just started their Fiscal Q4 which means all they’ve got left on the slate are the delayed stragglers.

Not sure about the upcoming months but I felt like 2024 started off with quite a few games coming out one after another, including Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, Helldivers 2, Last Epoch and Dragon’s Dogma 2.

And Manor Lords is coming out this month as well.

Don’t a crazy amount come out towards the end of the year rather than the beginning? I’ve never really paid a whole lot of attention cuz I’m always playing old games.

Starting in September, when college kids are supposed to be spending their money on tuition and books. ;)

We don’t have release dates for that window yet.

The last year 2023 was incredible (providing a lot of good games).

I’ve fallen back into playing Celeste. I’ll never be great at this game, but when it’s going well it’s so freaking satisfying to play. Aiming to collect all the strawberries and have a crack at the B-side levels I didn’t complete the last go-around.

Finished The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles last week.

This may be heresy, but I think I enjoyed these two more than both of the other trilogies.

Maybe it’s the setting or characters or unique mechanics, I don’t know, but I fucking loved every minute of it.

The old Might & Magic games are very nice. Especially 4 and 5 that you can combine into an even bigger game with additional quests and an ultimate ending are awesome. And it should even run on your phone through ScummVM.

Valmond,

You mean Heroes of Might & Magic? I remember there were several closely named ones. Played the 3 so much :-)

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

No, just Might and Magic. Same universe but different genre. They were RPGs while the Heroes series was strategy.

Valmond,

Thanks, will check out the 4 :-) !

Baldurs gate is just so good. Constantly impressed and on my way to act 3!

wccrawford, do pcgaming w Has anyone tried the stadia controller via Bluetooth on PC?

I tried it, found it had horrible latency, and threw it in a box.

I’ve been using the (wired) Gamesir T4 Kaleid on my desktop and loving it.

I’ve been using an XBox Elite (the one that worked, not the one I sent back because the trigger was broken) and it’s been okay, but the dead zones are much, much larger than the Kaleid. I looked at Gamesir’s wireless options, but wasn’t impressed with the reviews, so I haven’t tried any yet.

It‘s also on Steam in case others are wondering like me. Wishlisted there. Really cool theme, hope the gameplay can deliver too.

Oh man. SimCity meets Lovecraft. This is a game I never knew I needed.

Thank you for sharing, will check this out in the evening

vetehinen, do games w "Worshippers of Cthulhu" - Lovecraftian city builder

only ones I can think of are some pretty simple Lovecraft-themed games with XCOM-style turn-based tactical gameplay
