not really a fan, i played maybe 1h in super nintendo back in the day. but this gives me nostalgic memories of lining up to buy new games =)
‘Hogwarts Legacy’ when they eventually release the thing lol. Might get it on either the PC or Switch. Wasn’t much into the Harry Potter games as a kid because of the dodgy duelling mechanics in them (although I admit to liking the LEGO game on the PS4) so I hope that’s improved on this.
‘Jurassic World: Evolution 2’ looks good too. I enjoyed the first game and it looks like we’re getting some aquatic dinos so it could be interesting.
1) Horizon Forbidden West PS5. Already pre-ordered the over the top Regala Edition. Horizon Zero Dawn was one of my favorite PS4 games right next to Ghosts of Tsushima. Pretty much the only game I am actually “hyped” for if you could call it that.
2) Dying Light 2 PS5. Maybe. I have the first game.
3) Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 PS5. MAYBE. If it is indeed a Identity Politics ridden game I’ll pass. If it ever does come out that is.
4) Ghostwire: Tokyo PS5. Looks interesting, and well, it’s in Tokyo so that has me already.
5) Stray PS5. Ya, a game you play as a Cat (Neko), but it looks interesting. As a cat lover, well, that had me right there.
6) LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga PS5. I love the older SW Lego games.
7) Forspoken PS5. Could be good. It looks interesting.
I frankly am not hyped for much. I am a single player person now. I am utterly sick of competitive/multiplayer games and all the grind and monetization. Destiny 1 and 2 pretty much ruined me ever playing an game like that ever again. So, 75% of the gaming market doesn’t interest me. The Battle Royale type games can honestly f**k off. Those kind of games are utter trash imo. I don’t do the Among Us, PUBG, Overwatch, or Fortnite stuff either. Not interested. Though I may get Overwatch 2 simply because it has single player/co-op. I like the character designs and esthetic, just not the game since it is all online multiplayer garbage.
Not interested in Metroid Dread after my brother telling me about it’s difficulty level. I am a bit surprised they did that to a more popular franchise. Not interested in overly difficult games anymore. I also don’t own a Switch, because I quit Nintendo after the Gamecube died out. Wii, Wii U, wasn’t interested in them. The only interest I have in Nintendo is Zelda games, so when I do get a Switch maybe someday, I’ll have a few Zelda games to play. Maybe when Metroid Prime 3 actually comes out….
Not interested in Elder Scrolls 6, never much got into Skyrim even though I do own it for PS3. I also think the Fallout/Skyrim games are WAYYYY too big. Not that I don’t enjoy a longer open world game. But, those are just too big for my tastes anymore. Hell, I never even finished Fallout 3 it had so much content even after spending 200hrs in it. I have OTHER games to play.
Not interested in Elden Ring or any games from that dev.
Not interested in Tiny Tina Wonderlands because Borderlands 3 was such a horrible game I will never buy a Gearbox game again. I loved BL 1 and 2, But 3 was just horrible. A complete mess.
I honestly spend a lot of time playing Renpy games these days, for those who know what those are.
The King of Fighters XV
I’m suprised nobody is talking about this game, not only is the first crossover fighting game series since 1994 is also the one game who inspired Masahiro Sakurai to create Super Smash Bros. They even put one of their characters as DLC in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Terry Bogard)
Is Coming February 17, 2022 on PS4, PS5, PC, XBOX Series X.
Nobody is talking about the fighting game because imo fighting games flat out SUCK now days. They are way too overcomplicated. Just not even fun anymore. The new MK games have so many mechanics and moves you have to get an encyclopedia and a 4 week training course to do anything in them. the Injustice games started to do that as well. There was a move from Joker I could NEVER do in the training area, just ridiculous. I just don’t get fighting games anymore because of it. I miss the more simplified games like Super Street Fighter 2, Dark Stalkers/Night Hero’s, Marvels Super Hero’s.
I really liked this quote in the comments:
This game is just so incredibly beautiful, it’s really taking stylistic games, as an artform, to the next level for me. The architecture of the buildings, the placement of the props, the logic in the infrastructure, the small details that make the environment tell a broader story, the lighting and visual effects and even the attention to the sound design of even smaller props when being hit, broken or equipped. I hope this game wins a lot of awards, especially in the art department. As a beginning game designer, I aspire to work with such a talented team one day.
I am currently hyped about Cyberpunk 2077. I just started playing it (on PC) and it’s great post fixes. For anyone that loves a good story it’s awesome.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Elden Ring. That’s about it atm.
Also whatever Capcom has announcing soon. Probably RE4 remake.
I just got a boner when you said Darkstalkers. Definitely my favorite Capcom fighting game series. It needs to make a comeback. Those old Capcom fighting game days where killer.
i finished 1 story of Cyberpunk 2077 before then I deleted the game to play other games.
I wanted to play again now with the next-gen update in my ps5, but damn, I need 160GB of space… I have to delete 3 – 4 games to be able to play cyberpunk again now :’D
i guess i’ll buy a ssd to upgrade the ps5…
I got my eyes of Horizon: Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Ghostwire: Tokyo and WWE 2K22.
