schlocky eldyring co-op spinoff and a full game about Ciri set up to be my only AAA purchases for the foreseeable future

glad they're taking another swing at outer wilds, because the first one was fun but ultimately didn't have much meat to it

outer WORLDS, jfc here we go again

god its the Struggle isnt it

outer wilds vs worlds i mean

actual branding nightmare lmao

I've very near 100%ed both of them and the wrong one will still come out of my mouth

the jab at Fallout was also a welcome smile after Geoff's big dumb masturbatory parade of Important People He Knows

Animal Well got snubbed, though if it had to lose to anything in debut and indie, Balatro is fine

and Astro Bot is exactly the kind of game I think we need to incentivize making more of, right now. smaller scope and tougher execution than all the budget bloated pseudo cinematic megaprojects that Sony has been preferring

tighter* execution

esp after concord failure

and with that in mind, it's beyond parody that they're already """"remastering"""" tlou2

GOD, CONCORD....

that was a great week for posting, even if I do feel deeply for the devs who spent so many years of their professional lives on something so cynical and dead on arrival

especially now that the equally cynical marvel rivals is actually positioned to eat Overwatch's lunch the way Concord undeniably was intended to

just glue IP onto it, free money

This was me last night 'holy crap, multiple announcements that actually matter to me! This never happens!'.

THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN....

both of my sword lesbians are coming home sort of

Suddenly an accessibility controller has become a much higher priority for me....

ARE VIDEO GAMES BACK??

are we doing video games worth buying again??

(big ones. small games have continued to be excellent, I just haven't played a good AAA game since Elden Ring)

or, not even AAA, just. popular.
