The best game last year and the best game this year could very well be a non AAA game, which is just an amazing place for the industry to be (and a gigantic middle finger to AAA practices and greed). And of course Rockstar will ruin the run next year by releasing GTA 6 Larian is pretty much AAA company in my view based on how many people worked on BG3.

BG3 might be an exception to the rule and they'll probably fall to the same greed like the others. I think that depends on how you see greed. I have seen every angle on the BG3 announcement this week about no DLC/Expansion/Sequel. I saw a couple of people being upset at Larion and calling them greedy because they weren't going to make something using the D&D IP. Their logic was since they have to pay to use the IP, not paying for the IP means they are greedy. I think people wanted BG4 already lol.

All those major changes, shutting down OW1 for nothing. Bets on which character is going to come out as LGBT? That seems to be the only response from Blizzard whenever they get in hot water. I mean the next hero is confirmed to be non-binary.

I actually think it is greed. You look at how many great AA games are being released atm, from Helldivers 2 to Palworld, and from independent gaming studios like BG3, and then you look at what's being offered by the big companies beholden to shareholders. BG3 is actually a very progressive game and really beloved. But it spent 3 years in early access painstakingly improving the game. A publisher would have rushed the game out and fixed it after ... semi fixed it after. Dragons Dogma 2 is mostly negative on steam due to performanance issues and microtransactions BG3 might be an exception to the rule and they'll probably fall to the same greed like the others.

People are so desperate to restart Gamergate, It's actually pathetic. They say it takes two to tango. This Gamergate 2 crap would not have been possible without there being a foundation for grievances and a spark to set it off. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Sweet Baby wanted Gamergate to happen as well. Look at how Gamergate elevated Anita's profile lol.

Fat chance.I'd wager RA2 and/or Tiberium Sun remastered. EA just has to sell appropriate cosmetics and make a map every couple of months and you got a best seller.

I have nothing else to say, I'm just shocked. I got into Dragon Ball late but I was always inspired by the transformations and fights. This man has revolutionized a genre whose impact is still being felt today. May he Rest In Peace.

Yeah a major let down for Hogwart's Legacy was that there was no DLC for the game. Of all games to have DLC, it should be Hogwart's Legacy considering it was the best-selling game of 2023. Still annoyed they removed quidditch from the game so they could make an online, multiplayer version that still hasn't released yet... Tell me about it, I wanted to represent Hufflepuff.

Exactly. They had a golden egg, a single-player game that outsold even CoD and they want to crush it because muh always online world. I hate these corporate suits so much bros, I legitimately hate them so much. The problem are also the players. My brother really liked Hogwarts Legacy and the places he went to there were a lot of people almost angry that there wasn't more content for the game. I am not a big fan of constant content GaaS games, but I haven't minded the ones that take a season pass approach but asking $25 for an outfit can go pound salt. For me it is all about the implementation before I like or dislike it. Yeah a major let down for Hogwart's Legacy was that there was no DLC for the game. Of all games to have DLC, it should be Hogwart's Legacy considering it was the best-selling game of 2023.

Yeah, gamers are so desperate to look for a villain that they end up Ironically making them bigger than they should be. It's what happened with Anita.

Starfield is woke? Seriously? What "wokeness" was Starfield injected with? I've placed hours in the game and haven't found anything that can be seen as "woke".

Sony should stop trying to go for the home run every time. It looks like it's taking a serious toll on their finances. Best to promote some lesser-known games and go from there.

I loved the DAI crafting system, especially with how it let me design awesome looking armor for my mage. That being said I think there were very few pieces I thought were awesome. I feel like generally Dragon Age customization has a few good choices and then the rest don't look as appealing. Applies to the character creation too. Yeah, I also liked naming my weapons and armor. It makes things feel more personalized.
