Well, I wish 'em the best but yeah, I'm pretty burnt out on role playing. These things aren't always my decision though.
There is an eye on everyone's game of the year in Baldur's Gate III but it just looks like another thousand hour game.
I am okay with Tetris and Pac Man-- pick'd up Pac Man Championship Edition 2 on sale for 2 bucks. Played it for a bit in the before times. Fond memories.
yes, for me g the back catalog on steam is so vast I can happily stick to give aways and bargain basement sales on older titles pretty much indefinately.
the only thing I splurged on was cyberpunk, I only waited for it to be $50 instead of the release $100 and didnt wait till it hit $30 which is my usual method.
I did that because it was so damn pretty - its a technological marvel on a modern pc, ive never seen anything like it, tho im sure the other premium titles are in the same ballpark
I mostly enjoyed the game too - barring the eastern european morbidity which runs through and ultimately makes me less inclined to replay for replays sake
Im not very good with games as art - I prefer to enjoy them, much like movies.
music i have a bigger ability to enjoy the bleak, for some reason Im not sure of.
So called Art Games are the indie music wallpaper of today.
I'm sure there is one or two in this thread I gave a positive review for but what a disaster overall, and that is when we went hunting for something good.
Never have that problem with the art movie or art music.

Void Bastards is fun for a few hours with a solid concept but its not enough content to make any of it work for more than the initial few playthroughs.
Maybe that's because of procedurally generated levels...maybe.
While often the case, I'm not sure its really applicable here. When there is a handful of ship types with a handful of largely non-interactive rooms and 9 enemy types, there isn't a lot to randomly generate to begin with.
I still like the idea of Void Bastards if not the execution.
Just read that it was an Australian/Canadian company, but its not immediately popping up how big Blue Manchu (the developer) is.
Reading an interview with a designer gives me the impression that a lot of time was spent working on or imagining how to incorporate influences in the game and not thinking about it as a game in itself.
Maybe an unfair assessment, maybe not; but there is too much influence poisoning or poor soil to grow anything out of.
We are a quarter of the way through Red Dead Redemption 1.
Okay, it's pretty great despite its age and mechanical issues. There is very little difference between this and 2. It's all one piece.
Coming at it from playing 2 first, we are still leaning slightly into the 2 camp as being the better one. We are also have a certain perspective unintended chronologically. The prequel game (2) colors this one. I know these characters, so to speak.
For a video game the writing, story and voice acting are excellent. I think 1 has already had too many 'on the nose' moments.
While the protagonists in both games are for story and practical purposes very similar, so far, I like Arthur Morgan better.
