Games You're Looking Forward To

@gundamu "The doom and gloom surrounding video games honestly gets extremely exhausting. I don't know how people do it when they literally can pick up so many dope experiences, like shit. try a new genre, play some indie games (more people should play Sifu tbh, that game is super underrated and came out last year), learn a fighting game." 1. Thank God my favorite Genres have plenty of games from the past and future 2. Indie games are exactly where I am going to, a lot of the issues with today's games are mainly in the Western AAA sphere anyways (Not that square is any saint either, but NFTs aside, just saying)

I swore off pre-ordering after Cyberpunk but I made an exception recently that is a one off type situation. My issue with the gaming industry aside from terrible working conditions and deadlines for the creators put upon them by investors putting pressure on the game directors *cough* ... is how "pay to play" games ever got big and essentially took over the entire industry. Games were fine before. Then they started making expansions to squeeze more money out of people, then they started doing packs, now there is game currency exchange for real currency. Those games exist because people kept getting them. Shame. You hear the latest Bethesda BS? Lay offs. Not only was it 4 years ago that they "announced" Hammerfell with a 37 second teaser, but now they are saying to expect Hammerfell much later. It's done lol Skyrim came out in, what? 2011? Who needs 11 years, what other game has taken that long to make? But.. I hear the Hammerfell team was effected more than the people they have working on their stupid mobile game.

This video is 2 years old. The top comments lol... https://youtu.be/ZnpruoKzyiM

The only time pre-ordering a game makes any sense to me is if it comes with bonuses that a person just really wants (even then, it's just stuff like a gold skin for your gun), or it's a physical Collector's Edition (since those can actually sell out). Aside from that, what's the purpose in it? It's not like the standard game is gonna sell out, and digital is essentially an infinite supply xD

I can't wait for the next FF7 game where you can go on the gold saucer date https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb3zSlp-qD4

@verucassault its crazy to think skyrim and gta 5 are two games that has survived 2 console generations without another installment in the series. Its not like they are busting out bangers or anything. These up and coming studios are dropping gems more than the big names

I'm pretty sad to see Rockstar pulling the Bethesda move to milk a game for everything it's worth, but its no where near as bad. At least Rockstar can say they did Red Dead 2 following GTA5. You read comments on vids where people talk about how long it's taking to make ES6: Hammerfell and it gets depressing as hell. Some 67 year old guy that fell in love with the series saying he probably won't be alive to see it made. Bethesda is the worst.

bethesda will likely be getting their big triple a games out faster soon now that they are owned by microsoft and have more resources to work on their big games instead of having most of the company work on one game while small studios work on future games till the big game comes out and then they switch to working on the next big triple a title and i think elder scrolls 6 is the next one after starfall from bethesda and starfall i think comes out this winter
