    Hey now, teamforetress 2 got a 64 bit beta that improved the game performance by a solid 20-30%

    Valve might finally make the Heavy update

      Call me when they make an update that removes the nazis.

      EDIT: The joke is that they never will because they’re a white supremacist company who wouldn’t even say “black lives matter”

    Fun meme, but honestly I think the only folks it’s gonna be a bad year for are AAA game devs, who I already sympathize with.

    I think indies are gonna keep rocking some outstanding content. Content made with and for love will always beat content made for money IMO :)

      Yeah the flow of great indie games isn’t going to dry up any time soon. So many developers willing to actually take risks with their games and not just churn out another copy of a copy of a copy. Art needs passion to be good.

    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth came out this year. There’s literally nothing to complain about. Best game

      This - I hate when gamers have too much attention on which games are bad, and none on the good games.

      I have a page of Steam reviews where I give a thumbs up to a bunch of indie darlings, then a negative review to a live service game, and only the negative review has votes on it.

    There’s a bunch of videos on YouTube now separately comparing Batman Arkham Knight to Gotham Knights/Suicide Squad, and AC4: Black Flag to Skull and Bones.

    There is absolutely a trend of brain drain in game development that no amount of contractors can fill now.

    Games are looking great this year! Earthblade by the creators of Celeste, Hades 2, Silk song (I Believe) If you ignore AAA, it’s going great!

    tbh the game this seems to be about “Skull and Bones” isn’t even that bad… The character models (especially faces) look pretty bad and I haven’t tried intentional multiplayer, but that’s all I’ve really noticed (played it for about 6-7 hours, including open beta)

      I think that in a vacuum the game isn’t that bad, but given the context of how much it costs, how long it’s been in development, being hailed as the first “AAAA game”, and the fact that they literally made a better version of this game 11 years ago and the game is only mediocre I totally understand why this game has gotten the reaction it has.

        Ahh, I didn’t know about the AAAA part, with that in mind, yeah it should be mocked to death

    People still watch Sub Optimal Gaming? His content is boring and he was a literal gamergater.

    I don’t know guys. It seems Unisoft have lost it. I don’t buy games from them anymore. I don’t know what happened to me, but after I made the decision, I found myself buying Far Cry 6 even though I hated Far Cry 5 with passion (I think it was Gustavo Fring). I am 2 hours in and I am not feeling it. The prologue was nice but then it turned into random missions. Go do this, do that. Should I just drop the game?

      I’m have the exact opposite reaction right now. I stopped buying Ubi games years ago, but through give aways I got Assassins Creed Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla for free. I never touched them until recently when a friend started playing through Odyssey and was talking about how much fun he was having. I installed Origins and played though it (because I can’t skip games in a series) and I kinda enjoyed it. Then I played Odyssey and it blew me away with how much fun I had. I’m on to the second DLC of it, and when I’m done I’ll start up Valhalla.

      As far as Far Cry games go, though, I haven’t enjoyed one since 3.

        I’ve played Odyssey and it was fairly fun to play, but Valhalla to me seemed a bit, idk, empty? Not much parkouring around in large towns like an assassin when the buildings are pretty sparse and small.

          Thats what worries me the most. I heard that Valhalla was pretty much just an action hack and slash, and that isn’t what I want. I’m going to give it a go, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
