Shoddy PC ports aside, 2023 has already been an amazing year for gaming. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

This year started off not so great and has had some lows alongside its great highs. Several live service games shutting down early this year, Suicide Squad game being a generic looter shooter, Redfall being okay but buggy, Forspoken being not great, LOTR-Gollum being not fun to play.

People in general have soured a little on microtransaction filled live service games. Established IP-driven games will likely still succeed and rake in tons, but people will be wary about new IPs tied to live-service games that can disappear in a heartbeat.

Sorry if this is me being a negative Nancy, I am looking forward to what's coming next but I figure I should remind people this very recent history.

I guess I am just happy as we got some bangers like BG3 ,Zelda Tears of the kingdom and FFXVI this year. Also Starfield and Spiderman 2 really excites me. But yeah this has seen its fair share of shitty releases and scummy practices.

Hey, it is a great year for games and you are absolutely fine to be excited about it! Like you say there a lot of highs but I'm trying to keep things within realistic context.

speaking of ffxvi, how does it compare to ffxv?

I heard they went a different direction, and it plays like Devil May Cry.
I'm personally not picking up another FF until they go back go the classic format of the PSX days. Actual turn-based battles. I already got burned by FFXV and the FF7 remake.
At least Falcom is still making good old fashioned JRPGs with The Legend of Heroes...
