I'm curious what you guys wanted to play and disappointed. For instance I hate BG3 but I expected it to be exactly how it turned out so I can't be disappointed in it.
My top disappointment was Dark Envoy, it's an RPG made by Event Horizon the guys that did Tower of Time, I like Tower of Time and I recommend it but Dark Envoy is just boring. The story is uninteresting and predictable, dialogue is just awful, it's the equivalent of punishing high school students to do a play they don't want to and are given the barebones of a play. Combat is repetitive and the game is very easy on hard. Except graphics Tower of Time is miles ahead Dark Envoy. The pros, the game is not woke.
Another disappointment was Total War: Warhammer 3, It came out in 2022 but I only played it last year. I did not complete the main campaign and I can't say I like the new factions or the new siege combat. I think is a step down from 2.
Almost all of them.
D4, Starfield, BG3, and a handful of others... I can't remember them. That's how pathetic it is. They're just so un-noteworthy that I can't even remember their existence, much less being disappointed in them.
Apex Legends finally burned me out. Absolutely zero fucking work being done on the game in comparison to the amount of people working on it and how big it is. Billion dollar game that gets updated once every 2 months for balancing, every 4 months for a new season. And those seasons barely changed shit. And then expecting me to fork out hundreds every few months for a shitty rare skin.
I did find new enjoyment in Hunt:Showdown. Nice middle ground between realism and fantasy. Not annoyingly slow and broken like Tarkov but not full run and gun fantasy like CoD either.
Funny how 2024 seems to be shaping up well already.
Helldivers 2 is great, I'm excited for Expeditions (mudrunner spin off) Last Epoch is great so far, and I'm having fun with Nightingale Early Access.
Hopefully it stays good this year.
