It’s a really weird, happy and sad state of affairs.

You had Elden Ring, bunch of great indie games in 2022.

Then in 2023. Capcom hits it out of the park with SF6 and Remake4. Tears of the Kingdom came out. Then Baldur’s Gate 3, a sequel 20+ years later. Metroid Prime remastered. Dead Space remake. Diablo 4

This was following Forsaken, Redfall, Gollum. Then you have Atlas Fallen recently with bad reviews

I’m having fun, but it seems indie Devs are having more success with original IPs and smaller scopes

Crossing my fingers that Starfield has an acceptable launch. I don’t need an amazing launch. I just need it to not be Redfall, Jedi Survivor, or TLOU.

It’s been delayed twice at this point, so hopefully it’s gonna come out better than other Bethesda titles have in the past. It’s still a Bethesda title at the end of the day, so don’t expect miracles. But hopefully the launch will be acceptable. Or at the very least, not completely awful.

That’s all I want. Acceptable. Not completely awful. I just want what has been the norm for Bethesda games in the past. Not what has been the norm for all games recently.

Same here. I’m gonna be more than a bit annoyed if it turns out to be a total mess after two delays and with a $70 price tag. But I’m hoping it comes out good.
