New episode of Splash Damage announced over on Reddit. From the post over there:
With so many inexcusable problems in recently released blockbuster games, has the golden age of gaming come and gone? Will major games ever redeem themselves, or are we stuck with pathetic, half-finished cash grabs? We ponder this question and also discuss the heat rising around Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, Kotaku’s sad take on the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict, IGN’s blatant paid advertisement for Battlefield 2042, sexualized costumes in Arcane and Cowboy Bebop, and more.

Yeah aside from Elden Ring and Stalker 2 I can’t really think of anything that I’m looking forward to in the coming year.
The majority of games have always been shit, with a couple of diamonds in the rough every year or so, just like any other medium but it seems like the number of diamonds was particularly low the last few years. I can’t even think of any new AAA releases in 2021 that were particularly good. RE 8 and that’s about it.
Honestly they could stop making games tomorrow and I wouldn’t give a fuck, my backlog is so huge I’d still have enough to last me a lifetime, even without mods.
