@dskatter wow I didnt know. Ill check them out. Thank you!

@PuppetMaster think of it more like steampunk or in D&D terms a gnome artificer. It ties in better that way to medieval times.

My only true worry is still the finger yoga that may be needed for combat. Everything else looks fantastic.

Strong Bad! I was a big fan of his shorts on homestar runner. My fav. was his take on classic video games. I will probably pick this up for nostalgia sake.

My only wish is for more detailed stats in franchise. They track them, but don't show them. For example for pitchers, you can find the batting average allowed vs righties or lefties when a pitcher is warming up on the mound or bullpen, but you can’t go and actually find that in the stats tab throughout the season. Or for fielding stats when they play different positions. I dont understand why they don't show that. Baseball is all about stats.

If they can pull it off where it is strictly cosmetic and fun single player like Where Winds Meet, ill dare to walk the plank.

@Divergent95 I have heard the same thing from people i know have played it. They said the game was decent, just did not capture the bloodlines feel from the original. I will pick it up on a mild sale.

Not for me, hope others enjoy

@Damage99 nice! Thanks for letting me know. Ill add it to my wishlist

If it can be done solo, I might buy

This has been my top game since its announcement. I was a fan of BDO and a single player only game by them looks great so far. Im not a big fan of the grappling hook swinging like Spiderman mechanic, but hopefully it plays well.

@nicc83 they updated it in dec. I've played about 5 hours and no crashes, still has a bit of jank, but nothing noteworthy.

I just picked it up a couple days ago. I usually wait for a sale but I was itching for a good Skyrim like game and this doesn't disappoint. The opening song is amazing. Im only 5 hours in, so far very fun

Fantastic news! I never heard of this game until it was on the list for best soundtrack I believe, on here. Bought it from that news and now play st least one round every couple days. It is very addicting.

I'll play it on plus and laugh at its absurdity.

Dispatch would be my top with Death Stranding 2 a close second and Stalker 2 rounding out my top 3 for me at least of what I played this year

Always been a dynasty warriors fan as well.i have been hesitant pick up this new one after 9s debacle. Yours plus another's recent praise for this has me making the purchase. I also echo your Death Standing original playthrough, adding DS2 to my wish list after I pour hours into the new Dynasty Warriors

For me, low budget or team under 20 people. Self publish is done by to many big companies and the vibe covers to much.

It's social media at its best..Just plain ugly

@Nnfyrbsnss @Pixiebellgames I was going say it reminds me of the cats from the Movie "Mirrormask". I always forget how to add images. If curious though Google will show you.

Hmm no US game awards sale. As of 12pm

Very happy with this list. The top 4 games I had wishlisted for a very deep deep sale and Soul Caliber 3 will be the first premium classic game ill play.

Finally a good "Last Airbender" game

Im having a blast with it. Im about 15 hours in just turned lvl 20. Im enjoying the story and the huge variety of side content. My biggest issue is that you only get one character for now. You can't delete or start over. VERY IMPORTANT to choose the way you want to play as you can't change to legend difficulty after you start. They are working on adding or at least being able to start over with a new character. Overall I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

@Starkei you can minimize the ui.3 different immersion options

@BassRider yeah that is too bad, I would have co-oped with my daughter. I will still have her make my character as she is great at that with hundreds of hours in sims.

@BassRider You can play some parts of the storylines with friends, as the game supports up to four-player co-op for open-world exploration and side quests. However, the main storyline missions must be completed solo, though you can summon friends for help with boss fights

Im ready to jump in warts and all

@thechetearly same thoughts!

@Enuo lol I was thinking as they put the trailer in a movie style to use Matt Damon for the voice over

It gives me hope they will have support for awhile. The ps6 doesn't interest me besides being the latest and greatest when it comes out. I am happy with my ps5 and jumped to it for the quick load times. Ill jump to the ps6 when ps5 support just about ends.

I liked the settlement building; funneling enemies though turret and mined alleys was fantastic. The story snd rpg side was soso, but the freedom to upgrade settlements kept me coming back

Cant wait for where winds meet. I've been watching and reading about it for the past month or so. I can't get enough, hence the forum page i started. It looks like such a great world to explore with a crazy amount of play style options.

I was a fan of sacred 2. Ill pick it, most likely on a sale though

Its a decent month I think. Stray is a fantastic game. Ill dabble in the wrc, but racing games tend to bore me quickly. Im.most looking forward to the silly battle simulator.

I'm interested.i never finished it. I will go back now. Use it as a placeholder until Where Winds Meet comes out.

@Dan12836666 single player is all i would play as well. Is it worth just to do single player? Are the bots ok to team with?

Characters look good,but like Sammy said the backgrounds are minimal. Might buy on a deep discount as im not that into fighting games.

They should have taken some pointers from Unfinished Swan. That is how you shoot to unlock what you see. That also had a decent story.

Hopefully not true. Less competition is bad news for consumers

@Steeleye50 im jealous you were able to play the beta. Those random events besides a sense of discovery really makes this open world amazing. Maybe we can help each other out for those story line events that lean towards co-op. I play games 99% solo unless its SWBF2. I dont use a mic, but this could still be fun co-op not mic'd. I like the hop in, hop out style.

@enuo @steeleye25 same here. I have watched many Videos and read many articles recently regarding Where Winds Meet. Im not sure why it's flying under the radar. Including not even a mention here. It looks fantastic and sounds like it plays great too. The only flaws im hearing are pop in issues and many systems not explained well. I can handle that and im sure the final release will improve upon those issues. The fact that it is free to play and not having pay to win models astounds me. Ill probably pay the 15 for pre-order just to support that model.

Looking forward to it. Will be my next zen game

I'll be picking it up at some point

Tree of the Cthaeh?

Looks fun, hopefully not to crazy on the button combos

Too bad, but if a little polish helps that fine. It was my top wishlist for the year. I am enjoying the heck out of Hell is Us demo. The music and vibe are great. My only worry is if the fights become to repetitive. Will wait for reviews.

Sticking with Elminster myself

Bought Lies of P at last months sale. Enjoyed it. The rest of these games, no thanks

Wondering how the experience works, voice chat or point and click chat

@Nightcrawler71 sounds great. Thank you
