What games are you looking forward to?

I have to be honest, nothing besides Dark Souls on the Switch and Smash just because it seems like gloriously wretched excess. Nothing else that I know or care about on the Nintendo front.


I'll play RDR2 but it looks pretty boring and inane, the camping and gang stuff and crafting sounds truly abysmal. I'll play TLOU2 because I loved the world and characters of the first one a lot at the time, got the comics and everything. It looks like the same old, though, just prettier. Sekiro doesn't excite me anything like the Project Beast trailer did and while I'll get it and likely enjoy it, I feel I'm pretty much done with FROM.


What am I forgetting or are games pretty much over?


If anyone says Spiderman I'm genuinely leaving the board.


BeardFaceMan

The Settlers History Collection, I can have a year of playing that before the new Settlers game next year. Phwoooar and all that, I love me some Settlers. I swear to fuck if the new game is loaded with microtransactions, buying heroes and resources and like, I'll be so fucking angry that I'll come on to the internet to complain about it.

Kentucky Route Zero Act V
whatever Campo Santo's next game is
Life is Strange 2 (for the Limmy stream)
Death Stranding (not that I'll actually ever getting around to playing it)
whatever thatgamecompany's next game is
whatever Fumito Ueda does next

Total Warhammer 3 just because they've already done every major faction and race in the first twos games and I'm fascinated at what obscure shit they'll come up with to fill the roster. Speculation is that it'll be armies that currently only exist as names on a map like Nippon. But with Games Workshop essentially abandoning fantasy Warhammer and just handing the keys over to Creative Assembly anything's possible.

Cities Skylines 2 is starting to be murmured about.

Noita the powder physics simulator rogue like was my favourite game at the last E3.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 on PC probably in early 2019. Just finishing off Yakuza 0 now and the thought of replaying the second best game in the series with a gorgeous new engine and all the new side activities is giving me a right bonk on.

The Good Life the new open world game from Swery65. Looks like some proper daft bollocks and if its anywhere close to D4 or Deadly Premonition I'll at the very least watch a longplay of it.

Farming Simulator 19. Red Dead 2. Might buy Spider Man if it turns out any good.

biggytitbo

Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Hitman 2 and Just Cause 4.

Lemming

Metro: Exodus, Mount & Blade 2, Hitman 2, and the remake of System Shock which is currently in development hell.

I'll give the Spyro remakes a look in as well (though they can fuck off if they charge the same ridiculous price as the N Sane Trilogy) and Battlefield V looks like it's going to be the standard, reliable fun you get in any Battlefield game.

Bhazor

The Mount and Blade 2 gamescom footage was a surprise high point for me. Just the fact it has mouse click to order troops is a game changer for me.

Fuck sake, I was looking forward to that. How can a professional team mess up a Unity remake?

That indie game called 'The Messenger' looked good, but I've grown less interested the more I saw of it. Samey levels, often looks quite empty, and although I love the Ninja Gaiden games it's based on, I'm not sure I want to play another retro ripoff so soon after Curse of the Moon.

Other than that, Smash Bros is so obvious it barely needs saying. I spend every day looking for news stories about the game, youtube theories, breakdowns of moves, frame data I don't even understand, podcasts and footage analysis'.

Outside of a new Zelda or Metroid Prime game, it's hard to think of any game I could get more excited about, especially as this one seems to include every charachter and feature I've ever dreamt of.

Wattam by the Katamari guy looks interesting enough I guess

Vaguely interested in whatever else Annapurna have in the pipeline really

I am staying alive for Spelunky 2.

The release date of the original gamemaker version was December 21, 2008 so somebody started a rumour that maybe spelunky 2 could be launched on spelunkys 10 year anniversary. Man, that would make my christmas.
I was hoping they'd throw us a bone at gamescom, but nothing.

Torchlight Frontiers
I love playing arpgs, it's perfect comfort gaming for me, like snuggling into a warm blanket. Just the right blend of brainless repetitive combat, grinding, fruit machine lights and big loot payouts, I like to play ranged classes and usually make myself a glass cannon to keep things interesting, good fun those games, keeps the daemons at bay.

Rolling Gunner
You can buy it physically now and have it shipped from Japan from here, but I'm gonna wait for the steam version.

They're the big ones. Some little ones I can think of, Mana Spark, Noita, Serious Sam 4, Tormental, Ooblets, Rival Megagun, ZeroRanger. Mewgenics has risen from it's grave and the legend of bum-bo might be good.

Dead or Alive 6.

The tits are toned down on this one, less revealing outfits on female characters and such which of course has in turn made some corners of the internet complain about how "SJWs" are ruining their games.

If it makes people buy it because DOA is actually a really fucking good fighting game series, I'm all for it. That shit will probably be DLC anyway, because that's how it works.

Lemming

Dead or Alive has always been the most fun fighting game series to me alongside Mortal Kombat, since it's mostly just blocking and striking at the right time (which I can handle and excel at) rather than learning a 20 thousand button combo that juggles your opponent in the air for half an hour (which I can't handle and suck at). The tits stuff really alienates me from it and drags the series down, so it'll be good if they really have toned it down this time.

At the same time, the DoA5 PC port, which they released a free demo of, was fucking terrible, so I might end up having to skip it anyway.

QuoteDOA6 another game ruined by SJW?
i saw it will remove physics and no sexualized characters. but i'm seeing topless male characters there. what hippocricy is this? anyway thanks TN you decided for me that i won't be buying this game.

can't wait for people calling me pervert and i should go watch porn. tell you what religious fanatics. i don't need to watch porn nor am i a pervert. i have a partner in real life and probably seen more than you basement dweller who dictate what should be or should not be in a fictional game.

QuoteHow could you ♥♥♥♥ up so monumentally? Why would you screw your fanbase in favor of SJWs?
New screenshots (story was posted today)- "Hitomi is covered up all over, all of the boob-jiggle physics have been removed from the gameplay videos on display so far, and they removed the Soft Engine to replace it with a modified Dynasty Warriors 9 engine, so there's no longer any soft-body deformation or physics effects for the characters. They also shrunk the female characters' boobs because they claimed that larger boobs made them appear less human. . .

Shimbori has stated in past interviews that the reason that they decided to completely scrap most of the fan-service was to match 'world trends'".

Wow.

Paired with the ♥♥♥♥ing we got when they released the inferior arcade version of DOA5 on the PC...and the abomination that was Ninja Gaiden 3...it's like Team Ninja has no idea what their fanbase wants.

I really enjoy the fighting mechanics in DOA, and enjoyed DOA 5 so much I bought the ps4 and Pc versions..now to see that they're bowing to the loud minority, and foregoing everything that made DOA what it is...I don't want the franchise to die, but I also don't want Team Ninja to be rewarded for bending to SJWs and ♥♥♥♥ing their fans over.

GAMERS!


Spiteface

I hate them too.

They'll be the ones lining up to buy that stuff as DLC anyway. That's how gaming works now. See also: Namco holding back Tira to release her as DLC in Soul Calibur 6, in spite of her being a Soul series mainstay since her debut.

Ingress Prime. I'm completely addicted to it, and have PoGo running on my old phone in my pocket now. I just hope my knackered phone can keep up with the redesign of the software, the current implementation works great and as it's five years old, it's not particularly resource intensive. I'm dreading there being a lot more microtrasanctions when they relaunch it, too.

AR games are just the absolute tits, I love them so much. There's always something immensely gratifying and amazing to me that people have to physically move through the world to counter me, or deal with my actions. I've always been more into the multiplayer aspect of gaming, and AR games like Ingress take it to a whole new level.

People may think you can only wank to one of these fighting series but nothing is further from the truth.

The amount of disturbing wanks I have had to some of those Mortal Kombat characters sends a sheeva down my spine just thinking about it.

I love that their decision to purchase the game hinged on the presence of weird outfits, as if just seeing the outfits alone is worth £50 or whatever they charge for games now.

Same for the people boycotting BF5 because the series famed for its historical accuracy and gritty realism, that previously allowed you to have jetpacks and perform mid-air jetplane stunts, will now let you play as a woman. The actual multiplayer shooter itself was worth nothing, they were prepared to pay £50 just to... not see women on screen.

The same people who complain that videogames are being ruined by people focusing on "politics" and not gameplay.

You not arsed about Diablo 3? It's much much better since they got rid of the auction house. No idea how it plays with a pad but I've never heard any console bods complaining.

Psyvariar Delta? Haven't played Psyvariar myself but it looks good. Don't watch that if you're epileptic, there's some flashy fast cutting near the end - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Somy-JEMRAw

and Black Bird looks interesting - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfhxGE2yXh4

Never played Diablo 3 with a pad. But the fact it works offline would be enough to sell me it.

Hecate

Yeah, the problems with high ping really settled down after the initial couple of months of everyone and their ganny playing, but I never dared starting a hardcore character, there's plenty of horror videos of people losing loads of progress due to one of the servers falling over.
