mmmark Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Disappointed with myself for having hardly putting any time into anything. Hope to change that next year.

AndyKurosaki Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 I think the problem with VR2 is, because of the high price point, it’s always going to be a niche product. Which leads to not many games being made, as there’s a small amount of people that own one. Given the chance, I’d definitely give it a go. But at its current price, that’s absolutely not happening. I’m struggling to think of actual disappointments to be honest, it’s been pretty much a constant barrage of excellent games all year. Seeing Free Radical shut down recently sucked. All these leaks about upcoming games isn’t so much disappointing, but really bloody annoying. Trying to avoid spoilers for the latest games can be difficult enough. But now these fuckers are leaking stuff that are nowhere near done. If they could all fuck right off, it’d be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Price and install base is absolutely the reason. Still, makes you wonder why they even released the fucking thing to begin with if they were that cagey about it. 600 euro for a bunch of Quest ports, with a tethered headset so the gameplay experience is less flexible. Glad I didn't get one. Feels like it's predestined to the same fate as Vita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 All the layoffs. It’s always shit but this year has been particularly fucking terrible. All the while companies bragging about record profits. & during what a lot of people are saying is one of the best years in gaming - which I know makes no difference to a company but the juxtaposition between them is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s certainly important to remember that despite it being a brilliant year, there’s been a heavy cost. 54 minutes ago, one-armed dwarf said: Price and install base is absolutely the reason.

DANGERMAN Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Nothing leaps out so I'll say Redfall, it was just such a mess. It still looks cool, and there's bits where its really tense, but that tension invariably leads nowhere. There's really creepy sections where you sneak through under the weight of the atmosphere, but there's nothing, no enemies, no cool gear, just some ammo or some health or something. It was alright in co op, although I think I ended up finishing it solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKurosaki Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Seen some random absolute dickhead on Twitter say “I’ll gladly pay £100 for GTA6”. Fuck off. Rockstar are bloody lazy sods. GTA6 will be good. But the days of Rockstar being a developer that gives a toss, are sadly long gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 No new question again... Quote Nag says "With 2023 drawing to a close I want you to pick one thing you'd like to see in the gaming year of 2024, again, it doesn't have to be a single game... it could be a new console reveal, a company changing it's ways or a new feature for existing consoles. What would you like to see?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I'm really hoping that we start getting some remakes and remasters This is only a small thing, but I'd like suspending games to come to pc. Playing the Mega Drive again recently made me realise how much I rely on it, and bar old consoles the only thing that doesn't have it is pc. I'd also like Game Pass to come to Steam Deck, even if it's through a bit of a hack, just nothing too fiddly. You can stream games using it, but it'd be nice to have a proper way to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Killer 8 or Vagrant Story 2 or the remaster for MediEvil 2. The usual suspects. I'll be curious as always to see what comes of the new Nintendo console. No real upcoming hopes or expectations for Playstation though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Oh yeah, the new Nintendo console 😅 I hope its interesting and relatively cheap, but mostly I hope it plays old Switch games and runs them better. I've barely played my Switch this year because it's too unreliable as to how a game is going to run, never mind that it will be fugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 If the new nintendo has good backwards compatibility I'll be really happy. I really liked Bayonetta 3 but it started to grate with the performance stuff, and I still have things I want to explore in that game. If it doesn't have OLED tho then I dunno. I saw my brother's steam deck oled the other day, fucking hell now that is a screen. Puts the switch oled to shame as well, goddamn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Few things I want... 1. Gears news... fucking hell, it's four years since Gears 5 released, come on Microsoft put a guy out of his misery. 2. For Sony to share what they have coming up short of Wolverine and FF Rebirth... which kind've leads on to giving us a locked date for Stella Blade and it actually being good.

spatular Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I like mfnick’s saturn mini idea, id go for an n64 and dreamcast mini too. id like a new pgr game (or driveclub) both very unlikely , and m2 shottriggers versions of armed police batrider, and mushihimesama futari - much more chance of these.
