The only one on the list I played was Diablo, which didn't live up to its predecessors for me. F1 23 was the only other I played from this year. Just wasn't feeling it at all.
I'm expecting MH to be delayed. Even if it does release on time I'll still be giving it a few months. Not into buying games day one only to ruin your experience by playing the worst possible version. Patience is key.
Genshin's world is enormous and new areas are released every few months, with new soundtracks and new voice acting. It's been doing this for 4 years so yeah, of course it's huge
I hope this is good. I play on PC and the spec requirements look appalling. Frame gen needed to hit 60fps at 1080p medium with a 6700xt, which is more powerful than PS5. Frame gen causes bad latency and is not supposed to be used below 60fps, never mind 30
I've been saying for years they should approach Larian or Obsidian. With the resurgence of CRPGs they should create a spinoff series called Fallout Classic that goes back to its roots. Bethesda can still make F5. Otherwise we won't see any more Fallout until 2035
I think it pobably will be a contender. Not because I expect it to be out of the park amazing but because there's nothing else coming up that looks like it will obviously outshine everything else. An 8.5 out of 10 could be a winner this year.
To be honest I'm hoping for more than just bug fixes. They could do with modernising the animations, combat and movement a bit closer to Starfield, just tighten the gameplay overall. Fixes for the slow loading being tied to the framerate would help too
The big thing for me is the co-op integration. Drop the guest style. I hated that I couldn't craft from the host resources etc and hated that it gave us no progression, let us do a full proper co-op world where we all contribute the the progress of the same world. As it is in 2, we might as well be ghosts.
Maybe we both have a camp with our own survivors or maybe we just start with 2 survivors each, whatever. Also let us actually build the camp. Even if you keep both auto camps and building camps as 2 different game modes. Basically just copy Grounded.
No, it's not Diablo 4, because the battlenet integration is a total disaster. Can't play the game because of errors, then i fix it and it works then the next day the same error appears. It keeps asking to be updated, then says update failed, gives an eror code but the error code cant be found, gives a link to support but clicking it does nothing.
Every time you open the xbox app bnet force opens, then you cant close bnet and get the error 'bnet is required to be open to use the xbox app' and so you cant even minimise it to tray.
Then you click to play the game and even though nothing changed, it didnt update, didnt fix any error, it just randomly works.
I just cannot comprehend how they could have implemented this ***** any worse.
well, sure, but 'play with friends on pc' gave us 7500 per month.
I'm guessing more stuff will appear on Tuesday, or the May refresh when the rewards app has been closed.
Nervous about Diablo IV and how they handle battlenet and xbox app pc integration. I share the same subscription with my little brother, he logs in as me on the windows store and it lets us play together on one sub. The other launchers - EA and Ubisoft don't allow any form of sharing or xbox integration so I hope blizzard games get full play anywhere etc
I'm assuming the wait is to port xbox functionality and play anywhere into all the pc versions. EA and Ubi games are completely detached from xbox pc, no achievements or multiplayer outside of full crossplay etc, and they can't do that with Blizzard so integrating battle.net into the xbox ecosystem without breaking warcraft, starcraft, hearthstone etc is possibly the hold up.
I'm done with this game for good now. These idiots just locked multiplayer fps to 1/3 of the monitors refresh so now my game is locked at 55fps. Others are being locked to 25 fps ffs. This game has been such an incredible disappointment. From the awful career to the terrible AI and penalties, it is just a bad game made by a bad developer.
The career is just beyond belief. . It has had about 40 - 50 solo championships, with average 5 races in each -200 or something races - and you are not required ot make a single pit-stop across the entire "career" mode. In a motorsport game.
I just can't anymore with this. It is the worst £100 I ever spent.

The Fallout 4 series upgrade was scheduled for this year so I'd like to see that get a release date for the next few months. Everything except Hellblade is pretty secretive right now so I'd like some looks at State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark. Maybe we'll get a look at the id project or Indiana Jones.
I'd give it a C since they actually got some games out. only a C though. While sony put out spiderman and nintendo put out zelda, those were absolute bangers. Starfield was just okay, forza are redfall were awful, on a technical and design level just bad, rushed, unfinished games. Hi-Fi rush was supposedly great though,
I'd love them to make a new Fallout series and take it back to its roots. They and Larian have really revived the CRPG genre. I'd love if Fallout had a secondary 'Fallout: Classic' CRPG series that ran alongside the Bethesda games. It wouldn't tread on Bethesda's toes and wouldn't leave us waiting til 2035 for more Fallout.
Don't get your hopes up that karma is dishing out any kind of justice here...
"Most notable is the clause that states if the CEO is fired without cause by Microsoft, he’ll be entitled to a $15 million “golden parachute" from the company. Additionally, if Activision’s board sees an improvement in company culture, the filing states that Kotick could receive as much as $22 million in stock later this year. Last but certainly not least, as of right now Kotick owns (or has the right to acquire) 6.5 million shares of Activision Blizzard, which--at Microsoft's buyout price--will be worth approximately $619 million. It is currently unclear what kind of financial compensation Kotick might receive if fired for cause."
Mine crashes every time I go into laredo or tyhe trade authority in akila. Have a couple of broken quests where a door gets locked, such as the door upstairs in madame sauvage's is now locked and I can't get through to continue the neon strikers quest.
I can't visit the key, it crashes when docking. It's because i have a bugged 'steal from x' quest, it tries to unload the stolen gear then crashes, but I cant delete the gear or abandon the quest.
The galbank quests are broken because the ships are invisible. etc.
I want to see progress on stuff like this. It is going really slowly with really minor updates.
