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.
Cyberpunk is the only western game I've been waiting for this year, and after all of CDPR's lies about release dates, my expectations for that are, at this point, pretty much non-existant.
For me, it's basically been eclipsed by Hades, which wasn't on my radar at all until it was already released, and totally blindsided me with how great it plays.
As for next year and beyond, I'm waiting for Gloomwood and the full release of Baldur's Gate 3.
I understand that, but I've always preferred the classic Id software release date: "When it's done".
Sort of, but Id typically didn't waste anyone's time or get anyone's hopes up with false promises. "When it's done" was, for the longest time, their official release 'date' for the majority of their development cycle.
