That being said, I am looking forwards to Crusader Kings III. It is the sequel to my favorite game of all time, and judging by their dev diaries I think they are bringing their a-game.
It's crazy that they're keeping a lot of the feature and the expanded map from CS2 while also adding plenty fo new stuff. So far I'm impressed. I guess paradox is a much bigger company now then they were when CS2 was first release. I also really like that they've taken a much stronger turn toward RPG mechanic, but I imagine some people who are more into the marriage game/diplomacy aspect migth be a bit disappointed that the game is shifting focus.

40k Darktide. I do trust Fatshark to create a competent gameplay loop even if I don't trust them to create a fun progression system. But honestly even if it was structured just like Vermintide, I'll be happy to just play through each mission once if they are good and not bother too much with grinding for loot, levels and gear if that aspect is not so fun. While I did want to upgrade my character in Vermintide, the randomness was frustrating and max tome-dice runs were not very fun.

I take it you tried the beta and was not impressed?
After seeing the footage, the reception so far, the fact the same people that made Evolve are making the game (most of the former L4D developers are not even at Turtle Rock Studios anymore), and then this.....

Before any one starts about the link: I know the reasoning behind it, and it was an accidental result of two different sounds mixed together. At least their attempting to fix that.

My interest just completely flat lined. I am sensing too many red flags. I'll stick with Zombie Army 4. WWZ I'll try to get at some point.

.... :LOL: oh wow, those clips! That is...just amazing. I can appreciate that it is an accident, there is a word in Korean that sounds pretty much exactly like the N-word, which makes for some awkward reactions, since it's a VERY common word in any language. But yeah, wow, that's some hilariously bad luck there with sound editing.

I've mostly been just sort of "eh" about it entirely. Which is a shame because I love me some "coop vs AI" games, as I find them far less toxic than other multiplayer games that are a deathmatch style or similar. But, nothing about it has really grabbed my interest? I might pick it up further down the line.

Grand Theft Auto 6. Genuinely hyped my future children's children might experience the thrill of a new GTA.

That's... pretty much it. I'm seriously 'out' when it comes to video games these days now that I'm buried in work from two jobs. -_-

Aah, Vagrant Story. I REALLY loved that game back in the day. It had one of my favorite plot twists near the end of most any game I've ever played. So much so it inspired a D&D campaign I ran back in the day.

It's a tragedy they never fully developed Vagrant Story 2, I remember hearing about a demo or something being out there with the first level or area of the game.


Hell, maybe if Astria does well the dev working on it can get some clout behind him and push for a new VS too down the line. If suikoden got a spiritual successor despite konami then anything is possible at this time.

Currently im really excited for the FF14 expansion Endwalker this November.

Kena still looks good despite the few week delay.

But outside of those it seems everything is gonna pop off in 2022, which is fine because mmo expansions offer plenty of playtime.

Don't forget SMT5 is coming out in November. Been waiting for that one since forever.
