Hopefully be able to play and finish Indivisible.
Probably some sf6 too ^^

@AhmadSumadi
I know it's a bit shameful, but I have yet to play the Witcher 3.
I remember playing the second Witcher and liking it enough to do a second run in hard mode but, I also realized that, while I liked the game in itself, I had no particular love for Geralt or the world and, somehow, didn't feel like spending hours with them.

I won't lie, I kind of have regrets.
I might try to correct this with that Ciri centric opus coming.
I did enjoy Cyberpunk though (even though FPS are not my thing) and plan on doing a second run now that it's supposedly in its final form.

Back in the day, when I was playing on Xbox 360, I remember finishing the first Mass Effect about 20 times because, I realized I wanted a save with each classes and you had to finish the game 3 times, if you wanted to max Paragon or Renegade at 12 lol. Those were pre back log days

@AhmadSumadi
I'm a bit jealous you managed to embrace to your platinum duties like this.
I, on the contrary, usually find it to be a bore to platinum a game a second time lol.

I hear you for Absolum.
It's, however, 100% worth its price tag I think, even more so if you've got a friend to play it with ^^

TBH, Absolum and Streets Of Rage raised the bar so high for beat them up that it's hard for me to find another one to be appealing. Even games from Tribute (TMNT, Marvel Cosmic...) which should be exactly what I dream about don't appear as sexy as they should IMHO.

Loved this game.
Not as much as Streets of rage 4 but it was a real good coop game

Nostalgia for sure!
Had an imported el viento cartridge which, at the time, I thought was an adaptation of Nadia from gainax lol

Did end purchasing Ernest evans even though the reviews were less than stellar, even back in the day on sega CD.

@SodaPop6548
Loved it too.
So much I did a NG+ to fight the red dragon of apocalypse ^^

Lots of cool character design ideas and musics.

Continuing Indivisible.
Doing a small street fighter marathon, going through the 30th anniversary collection, the marvel VS Capcom collection and the one with the Capcom VS SNK ^^

Play more games from my back log
Play more PSVR2 games
Get better at fighting games

While somehow finding out more time for tabletop rpg, boardgames, personal project and sport...

I am ok with E33 being considered GOTY.
Loved the game.
I am just a bit sad Citizen Sleeper 2 seemingly disapeared from the collective mind.
This game and its prequel offered incredible writings, artworks and a subtile but very appropriate moody music imho

Happy new years guys and all this wonderfull community

May you all game wonderfully this year

@BAMozzy your take really reads as sensible to me but I also find very interesting @Dr_Rocanlover use of the word "feeling", which mâles me wonder whether exclusivity would seem so important if we had not grown up with it and (I assume) have stories attached to it?

Also, the idea that exclusivity helps pushing one's specific hardware to it's limits is a great take.
However, considering the growing costs of doing so nowadays, are the devs studio really incentivized in doing so while limiting their sales to one audience only and risking their jobs?
And if the hardware owner helps by compensating with money, how certain are they this game will really bring a new audience to their system?
I might be mistaken, but if I were Sony, unless I am launching a new console, I would be wondering how close I am to my maximum audience?

Did I reach all the people I could now?
If so, what's left if not sending my games, instead of my hardware, to other consumers I couldn't reach?

Then, of course, there is the Nintendo case.

Anyway, great topic ^_^

Ps: side note, I seem to only find the use of the verb "to feel" in a argument within English speaking conversation.
In France, most of your school life, you're highly incentivized not to use it as it looks bad on your argumentation because "feelings" are in direct opposition to "logic".
Not saying it's right or anything, just that it's seems like a fun distinction in language, education and so on.
Like, we can't go with our guts lol

Finished P3R DLC.
Just began Indivisible and I am wondering why I didn't try this game sooner?
The anime intro, the shonen story tropes, the music, the art... I am so in for this journey!

@1970sGamer
Perfectly happy as far as I'm concerned.
Mostly because work generously gave me a 180€ gift card ^___^.

Now, all that remains is to select which one of my wishlisted items will make it into the backlog and which will have to wait for another sale...

That's the kind of problem I like. Those perfectly disconected from the real world's trouble

Many of my wishlisted games are on sale at the same time... Willpower is crumbling...

@PuppetMaster
Thanks for the update, I haven't booted SF6 this WE as I focused on P3R's DLC and TTRPG ^_^

I'll probably check it this week though.

@Jrs1
Tbh, I would take any Dotemu remake of their old properties.
Streets of rage 4, shinobi... dragon's trap were incredible

@PuppetMaster
I must sound stupid, but I never knew you could win fighter's coin, except from the battle pass's end reward to recover the cost.
Always thought you could only get drive tickets @_@ damn!

Sorry typing from my mobile set in French Xb

@somnambulance
BG33's success could be compared, I guess, market wise.
However, without taking away all it's qualities, it also benefited, IMHO, from a combination of favorable éléments, a.k.a, the stars aligned somehow.
A beloved franchise name, devs with street cred on growing indien games among the same community of players, hasbro's money... xD
Matches made in heaven.

Like you said though, both games, to a degree, revolved on mechanics people regretted not experiencing anymore, or altered to a degree they somehow disliked.

So, somehow, I guess, those games made them feel like they had been heared among the mainstream's voices supposedly only caring for real time action and si on...

@somnambulance
I love the idea of trying to understand why something supposedly checking all your boxes didn't stick somehow.
Happened to me too with games, movies, books, perhaps even food.

Also, I wonder if it's a proof you can catter to a niche market and thrive if you get everyone from the said niche.

@somnambulance
That's a very interesting take on E33's success which I hadn't considered but, now seems quite obvious.
Nice!

@SegaBlueSky
Oooh good call.
I've yet to scrutinize every easter egg ^^

IMHO, I'd love Magik or Madrox with all his clones.

As well as some big bodies like She Hulk, Hulk or Lady Hellbender lol

If they could find characters we have not seen yet in the MvC games, I'd be happy too

@SegaBlueSky
Agreed on technical performance and, as a marvel fan, I'm really, really enjoying it too.
Yeah, I'm kind of a casual too. I try to play fighting games as much as I can but I'm far from a good player.

I just ended a session that's been going way better due to finding an opponent on my level so I got to play and test stuff.
Otherwise, against better players, it felt like a single player game lol.

I'm with you on photo mode.
Them including white colored doom made my day tbh ^^
But, overall, the characters ' attitude are off the charts and the ultimates are great to look at too.

Can't wait for the final roster.

@OptimusPrime1
At the risk of sounding like a children's cartoon :
Thank you Optimus Prime

@SegaBlueSky
I'm in too, what do you think so far?

My Dr DOOM is getting his ass kicked by the army of spiderman/ghost rider (clearly I haven't cracked the code/rules lol), but I can't say I'm not falling in love and want to see more.
I feel like the first time I played DBFZ... 12 again ^^

I just wished this beta offered a training mode or dummy to train again... even though it's clearly not the point of a beta.

Played Unbeatable demo. A game I really want to love but I didn't click with the gameplay. mostly, I thought I needed a better tutorial to understand the rythm of the game (no pun intended).

Terminator 2D looks sexy too ^^

If Flight Simulator had a PSVR2 version, I'd probably put it very high on my list ^^

Marvel tokon fighting souls beta ^^

@ShadowRJ
All good point.
However, I admit, if Eva Green did a charity contest with having a 5PM tea with her as a reward, I would probably look at my bank account to see how much I could spend unreasonably

@nessisonett
Funny, wasn't even going to launch the video until you mentionned Jamie Hewlet

@Vermines
Agreed.
As someone who can't find his way in Real or virtual space, Control's map was my real enemy.
Great game otherwise.

And to all Control lovers, I really, really recommend the TTRPG called Triangle Agency

@Perturbator
This, would a game I would not buy lol

Hope we have a button to "Alright, alright, alright"

@Blauwe_Chimay
SoR4 was a work of so much love and art!
Still playing it from time to time and it's soundtrack is always in my playlist

Only flaw I see is this game coming after absolom.
Don't prevent le from buying it though, I am a commercial target, I am powerless
Also, always funny to have to accept that silver surfer or phoenix are on the same level as captain america or black panther Xb

@GirlVersusGame
I really really enjoyed 13th sentinel.
Some of the best twists I experienced in this kind of stories.

@PuppetMaster
Sounds plausible, given all the Q cash they got...
I'd very much prefere Capcom at the wheel though... but just a preference in fighting games' play style.
However, if SNK is doing it, we might see Shiki again, which is a good thing in my book ^^

@PuppetMaster
Agreed. They know any game of CvS3 magnitude would probably cannibalize a part of their own audience.

While I would love to see it happen, it seems to only be a total win for SNK.

Got my confirmation ^^

@SegaBlueSky
100% with you on this

Given the last portal update, might think this is a way to convince player upgrading to the last tier and go with the device as well?

@somnambulance
It's very much ok and reassuring that someone has a différent opinion than the "masses" (no offensé intended, I loved E33)
For exemple, I don't get FF7's massive love or Hans Zimmer.
But that's ok, I don't mind people loving and enjoying them.

We can't all be wired the same way and that's for the better

@dskatter
If this community is a good représentation, then, yes, it appeaes it will win every category it's in lol.

@UltimateOtaku91
Strange indeed as a rpg.
Likewise, I thought I would see CitizenSleeper 2

Finally started No Man's Sky with my PSVR2, living out my childhood fantasies ^^
Still somehow into the tutorial as I had a harder time adjusting to the commands than I thought I would but, so far so good, very happy and, as it turns out, the psvr2 controller's battery life somehow match my VR tolerance for now.

@AhmadSumadi
Funny, I am the exact opposite.
Turn based always have my preference

@0niguy @PuppetMaster
Agreed 100%
It's always interesting to see a different take on well established arts (music has "covers" after all).

With the anime take on comics' IP, it's particularly interesting, I think, considering that comic's artists embraced the influence themselves mid to end 90s.
Artists like Joe Mad, probably leading the charge, but not only.

So, it's kind of going full circle.
Much like Star Wars Vision (Star Wars Tales from anime studios), when you think about the Japanese and Kurosawa influence on Star Wars ^^.

Anyway, all that to say, unless there is a very bad surprise, this game is day one for me.

With FighterZ and this, ArcSys has taken complete ownership of my childhood's dream (not to erase the Capcom's Marvel games, I still remember how I felt the first time I saw X-Men Vs Street Figther in arcade ^^)

One that blew me away was
Wonderboy : the dragon's trap
Indicated as a remake, though everything is the same as the original except the completely remade graphics, animation, music etc.
You can still switch on the spot from the remake to the original in game.

Made me appreciate just how far ahead and timeless the game design was, it feels like it could have been a moden game from the start.

EA also believed loot boxes... Sorry, "surprise mechanics" had a positive impact on players.

@Jayslow
@AdamNovice
Completely forgot about 1000xResist
Might have to put it on the ever expending list too ^^

Unbeatable!
The demo showed lots of promise.
Just hope they implemented a better tutorial.
Some tech (like blocking cops) were not very clear timing wise and you couldn't train for it in the free trial part...
