Topic is very simple: There are many western games coming nowadays that are plain unfun, boring, or shoved with ugly people and certain politics. TLOU 2receiving GOTY was a joke. Is there a game, if any, coming from the west, that you are kinda hopeful about?
Some of the western games I enjoyed playing this year were Deep Rock, Synthetik, Desperados 3, Children of Morta, Satisfactory and Hitman 2, though they are hardly recent. I’m kinda hopeful about Hitman 3 but I heavily dislike the “always online” game model.
What about you guys, though?
Also, to mods, add a gaming/ geek culture tag or whatever. Options here are limited as it is.
Evil Genius 2, I've got some respect for Rebellion after they handled the Battlezone remasters in a good way and this is a full fledged sequel and not a mobile spin off like the last 2 titles.
Startopia remake, made by Dungeons 3 guys. They've always been solid and I want to see what they'll do with this.
Nier Replicant remake looks interesting. Cavia had a bad habit of hating their player, maybe a remake can make the combat flow a bit more like Automata. Wish I could play as Papa Nier and not Onii-chan Nier though.
EDF 6, continuation off from 5. repelled the aliens but the world has been destroyed and it's just you and your squad in a ruined sandbox map with aliens that are left over. We'll see.
SaGa Frontier Remastered, that got announced recently and apparently the original was unfinished when it was launched. According to a friend of mine they've already fixed up one of the quests that was broken in the original from the trailer, so I'm curious about how it plays.
And Last Sovereign, when that finally gets finished.
Also obligatory mention of ME Legendary edition but considering how Bioware and EA have treated the series, I'll just reinstall the originals again with mods. I just wanna see what they've changed and what they've stolen from the modders.
Evil Genius was a game begging for development. I'll have to keep my eye on this incarnation. I hope it supports satanic pedophile cannibals.
Hillary as a playable char ?
Just multi level base building is why I'm in, in the original game I quickly ran out of space when I had to dedicate a 3rd of my second base to disguised turret defenses. If you want to replay it for any reason, I'd recommend the GOG copy and grabbing the improvement mod from nexus, increases minion cap to 200, gives a little more money for missions so no real grinding, removes duplicate missions and has modern aspect ratios. It's perfect.
Who could be better at being cartoonishly evil than women? They can fulfill all their genocidal fantasies or something.
