Surprised to see Wo Long has mixed on steam, it was awesome. Not as good as Nioh 2 but that's a very high bar. We also had: >TotK >Armored Core 6 >Baldur's Gate 3
handful of other smaller releases too. not a bad year. We might get Elden Ring DLC before the year ends too.
I love how this is the exact same go-to answer you get everytime you criticize one of these games. It's pretty damn funy how insecure some pople are.
But more seriously it's a game that is deflect centric but does a piss poor job at building actual gameplay on top of it. Essentially you quickly realize while playing that you can't cancel animations into deflect which sort of counter intuitively makes the game waaay more passive because every basic attack or movement is an insane unbalanced commitment.
But there's more, you also quickly realize that normal attacks do very poor damage and that the key is doing spirit damage, just like nioh but worse.,
Add to that a ton of completely filler mechanics like martiual arts which have no armor and have a million frames of startup for not doing great damage anyways, against insane commitment and low reward.
Even better everything in this game is tied to what's pretty much a posture meter that also serves as a gauge for using matrtial arts and magic which makes them even more terrible to use.
And finally my favorite, hjaving deflect and dodge on the SAME FUCKING BUTTON, now we've reached genius tier. Instead of making blocking and deflecting the same button and having deflect be a perfectly timed block, they did this nonsense.
So overall the main gameplan becomes, wait for attacks parry, to build up ennemy's break gaugfe, untill they break and you can finally do damage. Rionse and repeat. Because ennemies, unlike you can cancel their animations into red attacks.
So, yeah this games adds a lot mechanics and things trhat end poorly implemented and just don't work well together. I'll be nice enough not to even touch upon the laughable story or graphics and utterly miserable PC port.
That's unironically the dumbest & most ignorant opinion I read in my recent memory lmao. 2015 alone blows away 2023. Witcher 3, MGSV, Bloodborne - all better than the trash you mentioned.
I think game devs should just post the specs that they ran the game on as minimum and recommended. If it runs on the latest graphic and cpu cards and all future cards flawlessly then maybe they should put that there instead of giving estimates and maybe these ports would have less negative reviews
>COH3
there's a reason most people still just play modded COH1 with mods and custom launchers >b-but muh steam says less people play it
because people use custom mod launchers that dont show up on steam, dipshit
literally all they had to do to make COH3 good was to make COH1 again 1:1 with better graphics and include EiR, Blitz, OMG and JointOps as default game modes
>Forspoken >Redfall >all those trash ports and badly running like Jedi Survivor, TLOU, Wo Long or Wild Hearts or Gollum
but anon those are big technical disasters, where is these big releases you menioned?
Forespoken is decent and it was bomb reviewed by chuds and contrarians who were tricked into beleiveing it's ''woke''
the same chuds and contrarians praising Bestiality Gate 3 the woke-ist game of the decade
>BG3
Glorified VN with mind numbing combat. >Starfield
Boring hollow ugly universe with the worst rpg mechanics in any bethesda game to date. >SF6
SF5 + drive rush, yawn. You just want to be a part of what's "in". >Hogwarts Legacy
Decent combat. Boring story and dialogue and forgettable uninteresting characters. >TotK
Glorified DLC. Completely forgotten. >AC6
Great gameplay but too short and stroy requires mutliple playthroughs to finish. >Too many good indies to list
List 5.
These threads always make me feel like a jaded sperg because none of these games sound interesting or look interesting. It's always just sequels to series I haven't played or maybe an open world game that doesn't do anything new, only exception I can think of is Hi-Fi Rush
>Forshitten was only mixed
That game was so fucking bad it was hard to even watch let's plays of, what the fuck kind of creature is giving it good reviews?
>tfw have a 3070 and 3700x but can't emulate switch
I have no fucking idea why, everything up to like the sixth gen is smooth. XBOX, PS2 is a bit sketchy on a game by game basis but everything is fine from the ones I've tried. Wii, PS3 even were fine. I've tried beta/patreon builds, tinkering with settings, changing CPU core settings and I can't emulate the damn switch.
What games have you been trying? I played through Super Mario Odyssey at full speed 99% of the time with a R5 2600
Must be some default configuration bullshit from either windows or nvidia drivers
I've only played Wo Long, Atomic Heart and RE4R demo. I was going to play Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but then realized I had yet to play JSRF so emulated that instead.
I didn't realize Wo Long had come out, Wild hearts was the fortnite monster hunter one right? image is also missing Starfield, the game nobody expected to be bad
Arkane should just be shutdown for putting out this piece of shit called Redfall imo
Maybe gamers' expectations are too high.
>Maybe gamers' expectations are too high.
The market is always right. If you can't meet it's expectations, pull out of it.

The PC Port is dogshit.
Wo Long was kino

chinks were butthurt about something

It was pretty damn shit, and the pc port being absolute garbage didn't help.
where did you get filtered?

Nobody is insecure here but you which you made very clear based on your tl;dr reddit cope.
Wo Long is by far the best game of this year. KB+M opinions are worthless.
It's a Koei Tecmo PC game.
Wo long was good
BG3 and AC6 already made 2023 the best year in gaming in over a decade.
That's unironically the dumbest & most ignorant opinion I read in my recent memory lmao. 2015 alone blows away 2023. Witcher 3, MGSV, Bloodborne - all better than the trash you mentioned.
Turns out nepotism babies, middle-managers, underqualified outsource groups, and shareholders can't make good games.
What A surprise!
i mean there's only been one good game since 2013 being real
the whole last decade has been ass

Ah, but their ESG scores are through the roof.

Bullshit,If anything,It's one of the better years
2023 will go down as a year with many big releases but also lots of big technical desasters.

As a non-contrarian who doesn't shit on games only because they're popular, this was one of the best year for video games in a very long time.
>too many
List five.

I want the tlou multiplayer on steam already?
Why do people like Void Strangers? It's just a very simple sokoban clone with nothing interesting going for it.
Don't ask me how I know.
unironically pikmin 4 has been the only game this year...
I couldn't stand the demo.
Did none of you play wild hearts?
Never even heard of it
>Forshitten was only mixed
That game was so fucking bad it was hard to even watch let's plays of, what the fuck kind of creature is giving it good reviews?
More like a bad year for PCgays.
Literally only tendies got good games retard.
And every pc fag can either emulate or has a switch.
>tfw have a 3070 and 3700x but can't emulate switch
I have no fucking idea why, everything up to like the sixth gen is smooth. XBOX, PS2 is a bit sketchy on a game by game basis but everything is fine from the ones I've tried. Wii, PS3 even were fine.

Have no fear!
The savior of this year's games is here!
I've only played Wo Long, Atomic Heart and RE4R demo. I was going to play Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but then realized I had yet to play JSRF so emulated that instead.

Shinobi Non Grata
Vengeful Guardian Moonrider
The Ninja Saviors: Return of the Warriors
Play these, you morons.
i would not have played any of these games even if the review were good
