crispy4000 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 We’ve had threads about upcoming games. What do you already own (or have on subscription) that you hope to finally get around to? Expecting a kid early next year, so I’ll definitely have less time than normal. I’m thinking some Switch catch-up is in order. Leaning towards Mario & Rabbids, Luigi’s Mansion 3 (after I finish 2), perhaps Age of Calamity and Octopath Traveller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Horizon Forbidden West will be the first I tackle. It came with my PS5 and I've never touched it. The Witcher 3 It may take me half the year just to get through those alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodporne Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I've been playing quite a few like replaying Resi 1 Remake. Glad I'm doing it because some of these have been total fucking gems I nearly forgot about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 LOL! I'll play along... Horizon Zero Dawn Horizon Forbidden West Dying Light 2 Sifu Ass.

stepee Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hmm not counting some recent stuff that I didn’t get to but don’t consider really backlogged yet Witcher 3 (started!) Persona 5 Mass Effect Andromeda Days Gone Ys9 Assassins Creed Odyssey Those are the quite backlogged that I’m really keen to play games, might be missing some, but I think those are the top ones. AC I might not do next year just because I will likely play Mirage when it comes out next year so I may push that to 24 but we will c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely underrated. I would probably mostly play on deck with some on tv, it still looks pretty good on pc especially at 120fps so I’d want to try some of that on tv. Maybe half and half if the story sucks me in at all (I’m maybe 8 hours in or so and it hasn’t that much yet but I always hear the game picks up a lot after like 15 hours or whatever) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have the best reputation but I think the first The Surge is a really good game. It actually has its own robust take on combat with bobs & weaves and dismemberment that seems to never get old. Like you can dismember the body part that you want to loot in terms of armor. Also, it's extremely atmospheric and nails a sort of uncomfortably visceral tech dystopia feel really well. Highly recommend that game. It has its flaws and the last level gets absolutely bonkers with its level design but it's probably my favorite Souls style game not by From.

As a parent of a 14 month old, good luck there. I had no luck with trying to game while it slept. I spent most of my waking hours listening to japan youtuber content like trash taste because it's all I could manage. My major recommendation is to buy a Baby monitor like nanit from day 1 (that helped the most). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed what I played although the game did feel like it needed more ranged combat given the setting. I heard the second one is actually better though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't played the sequel actually but your post reminded me to put ut on my wishlist. A big seller for the first one for me is the ultra oppressive atmosphere. By the time you hit the third major area it looks like mech hell down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 I had some extra time on my hands the last couple of weeks, so started up GTAV on my Steam Deck. The attention to detail in the open world is impressive. The experience as a game, is somewhat underwhelming so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Gonna finish up xenoblade 3 (stopped playing for a couple months and I’m only about 75 hours in just got to the City) especially with the DLC coming out this year I’m gonna try to get my daughter to play some Minecraft so we will see how that goes with her adhd. Untitled goose game may be fun with her as well. Gonna do some trial and error. other than that I just got Skyrim anniversary edition (I’ve never played before!) for switch for $35 and Tony Hawk 1&2 remastered so between those and random bits of game I play here and there that should do it for me for all of 2023, not counting if my wife gets me a game for Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyHell Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I’ve learned that planning which game ill play (outside of major releases) is a complete useless endeavour. I expected to be beating Crisis Core, more Tactics Ogre, and replaying Witcher 3. Instead I am completely hooked on a pixel art RPG made by a single guy, which may have the best story I’ve played this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 I've always got a group of 6 or so that I'll pick from when I finish something else, depending on what I'm in the mood for. I'll occasionally go out of that group for a shorter indie as a palette cleanser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading comparisons to the PS4 version online and looking at screenshots there doesn't seem to be that much difference. At least not enough to justify me being able to take up the main TV to play it on PS4 when I can maybe get 1-2 hours a day max, and play on my switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's clearly the superior version to play! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Yeah Skyrim is a 360 game and switch is more powerful than that, the port is fine and looks good on the switch honestly. For @b_m_b_m_b_m he def made the right call there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Let me add two more games to the list of backlogged games I'll never finish... Wolfenstein 2 the World Order and The Saboteur. Both feature shooting Nazis... maybe I need to rethink that and play these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
