2019 Games you are looking forward to?

All rumors hinted on 2019 release ... But you are correct, rumors are rumors.

 

Dying light is a title I am a little apprehensive about.

It looks good and ambitious but will they be able to deliver.

As for cyberpunk we may find out at e3 this year.

As well as they hunted in the past or even said it's going to be out on the tail end of this console generation.

LOL delaying something with0ut a release date....just genius

 

What rumors lol.
The only release date it has is "when it's done."

 

Cyberpunk 2077

 

I was hyped for Anthem, huge disappointment.

I was cautiously optimistic about DMC5, but I've seen a lot of positivity around it. I ended up selling a code I had for Divsion 2 and bought DMC5, so I'll binge that soon!

Death Stranding, Cyberpunk. Last of Us 2. Hopefully some great stuff this year!

 

The Last of Us 2, CyberPunk 2077 and maybe Rage 2.

 

Came here to say I'm burned out and not waiting for anything, but then I saw Outer Worlds... I just hope it will run on current-gen iGPU at least at 720p@30. \=

 

IDK about that performance, we'll have to see

Have you seen the Game Informer content on OW? This first one was good - helps with the assurances, watching the 2nd one now:

Nuff' said , yep. That's coming to PC, and it's coming to Steam !

It's been 10 years, I had this masterpiece Halo CE playing in Internet cafe's due to my computer habits PC was taken away from me, but the game which sparked a fire that was burning till now and looking back at where I'm It's been a fantastic journey and this is really a dream come true. And I can begin playing the one of the most legendary games ever created. AND Halo Reach is coming to the collection as well. Woah !! I just cannot simply contain myself

Also on the other side, M$ dropped another bombshell, a huge surprise on Win7 in a good way.

GGWP Micro$haft (Microsoft ?)




It took 12 Years,
let the celebrations begin ? Hoping there are no strings, Just hoping there are no shenanigans , Please no, like release it after Win7 is EOLed or only UWP with Steam or such bs. It'll be heart piercing.


Edit : Phase rollout, not all coming at one time. First coming is Halo Reach, then Halo CE, 2, 3, 3 ODST and 4.
Edit 2 : Steam page says, game "requires third party Xbox Live account", really hoping it's not going to use that stupid Xbox packages which Win10 saw a few days back. So 100% sure that MP is that XBL type again, damn M$ they will never change..to note the developers are not Bungie at all (Expected, just pointing out), but there is one studio which brought Arkham Origins, Splash damage studios.

 

That poses an interesting question. With the recent plug ins put into steam for supporting windows services...is that mean play anywhere titles are going to be through steam now?

Was really looking forward to Outer Worlds...
Oh well, more money I can spend somewhere else... That Halo MCC looks pretty good!

 

Well that sucks. Looks like it's gonna be a "wait50" title for me now.

Seikiro comes out Friday and so far hasn't backstabbed it's prospective fans. Looking forward to that.

This is just getting silly. Outer Worlds does look awesome and no I will not wait an extra year to play nor I will buy it from epic.

This has got to blow up at some point. Surely epic can't keep getting away with this. People should just stop being like sheep and avoid buying from there.

 

Yea, I already won't do epic. It was doing some things I wasn't ok with and I mixed it.

So now any game that releases with epic game exclusivity becomes a wait till 50% or more sale on steam if it comes over.

Or you guys will be the minority and people will buy it from Epic.

 

That's fine. I'm more than happy to buy the game later at half or less the price.

Sent from my LM-Q710.FGN using Tapatalk

 

That's the idea.

All it takes is enough people to not buy these exclusives on Epic and we can shutdown this new move for Epic Exclusive Store content.

Discussion here too:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...games-sales-flop.827320/page-27#post-10883967

 

You end up buying it?

my only complaint so far is that I haven't had enough time to play it as much as i want lol

 

2 out of 3 of the games I was looking forward to were Metro and Outer Worlds. The 3rd is also a THQ game, Biomutant.

1: I'm going to quit PC gaming if this exclusivity crap doesn't stop. Why bother getting another laptop for next-gen? I might as well get just a console and keep my current laptop to stream the console to. As for Outer World, I will be picking it up at Gamestop's PS4 used games section. Obsidian doesn't deserve my money and at this point, Gabe doesn't either because he isn't protecting his business, so the whole Steam library might be on borrowed time, because...

2: Steam is going to go out of business if they don't prohibit exclusivity as a condition for the product being advertised at all.

 

I don't think steam is in too much trouble. Just for the fact that it is allowed in China and epic is not.

Well, Steam needs to crack down on studios and publishers dine and dashing for free advertising. I really don't see the point of PC gaming in the current environment. I think I will get a console first this time around and if the situation improves then it's a Ryzen 4000 8/10 core, 32GB DDR5 and whatever the adequate AMD GPU is. If it doesn't improve, then all I need is $600-800 budget gamer for an aging game library.

 

Yea, I can't really disagree there, I think I'm gonna stretch my set up as long as it's legs will take it and then see if the hobby is worth staying with.

Hopefully the portable/ hand held market stays strong. Because if I am forced out of gaming my only persuable hobby left is going to be staring at walls.

Being a fan of the whole Dark Souls series, I probably can't not buy Sekiro. Should be out I think tomorrow...

https://www.sekirothegame.com/

 

Apparently it was not Obsidian's decision to move to Epic Fail Store. Their publisher, Private Division (Take 2 subsidiary), made the call.

 

Yes it is out tomorrow. I am excited. I already have a no $$ hold on the collectors edition.

The reviews are solid so I'll be rolling in the store on my way home to get it.

Cool, this way you can play all the PS4 exclusives and miss out on the XBox exclusives. (Not sure how this is much different..)

 

Xbox doesn't really have any exclusives and anything they do have is play anywhere or going to the Microsoft store as well.

Most console exclusive devs are owned in part or have long standing contracts with the hardware owners, so that's a bit of a false equivalence as epic does not own the developers.

IMO while advocating for epic exclusivity your advocating that everyone instead of being able to get their favorite burger from their favorite joint we should all shuffle into the local crackhole establishment and eat our burgers while people riffle through our bags and take money from our wallets.

lol wut? If we take Metro for instance.. the game is CHEAPER for you at Epic..

 

How they say in the movies? "the first dose is free" ...and end up paying way more in the long run.

 

Considering the large number of players who traditionally buy Steam games from third party key resellers (not talking gray market ones) for cheaper than directly on Steam, or during Steam sales, I fail to see how this is a valid argument.

 

I see I am going to have to swing my stick at this particular dead horse again.

Epic does not support my local currency so I have to use USD. I have the gold edition on steam so using that price of 74.99 USD I'll do my math.

74.99 USD is 97.06 CAD at the time of checking this with my local large bank (RBC) with a rate of 1.29430. so already there I'm loosing a dollar out of that savings.

Then we add sales tax @ 13% so 97.06 x 1.13 to get the total tax original price included, we get 109.67 repeating so 109.68 by their math.

That's 3 dollars more than I paid for my copy on steam 106 after tax.

NOW THE REAL FUN BEGINS my credit carrier has a currency conversion fee of 2% so we are gonna take that 109.68 x 1.02 to get a total of 111.87 for a grand total of -5.87 dollars in savings.

Now with that -5.87 dollars in savings I get

Gonna do the new math here while saving my mistakes.

Steam charges me 96.66
Epic charges me 97.06

My credit card charges me 2% for buying in a foreign currency so that epic charges me 99 dollars at the end.
so I don't save all that much money if at all But for that 4-5 dollars less I get the listed features.

Steam achievements
Community forums
Family sharing
User reviews
Steam link
Linux conversion support
Third party key redemption
Built in mod support (if the devs allow)
That weird feature that lets my friends see my game as I play
A comprehensive list of what the game supports via steam store

And that's a list of features I use or have used on a semi regular basis, that epic does not have nor support.

Now if you want to buy of epic I am not going to stop you nor am I going to berate you for it. It's your money do with it as you will.

But at the end of the day I am not going to sit back quietly while my choices are taken from my and I am abused by people who see me as little more than cattle to be slaughtered for cash when the time comes.

Hope that clarifies my position a tad, have a fantastic day.

Edit: I double checked and realized that Epic and steam don't charge tax in my region.

Edit2: VM: Bloodlines 2 is gonna be about 10-14 dollars cheaper for me to buy it on steam it looks like. Excited for it.

We really don't need to go through all of that to justify not giving our money to a company that doesn't have good intentions.

Epic is a bad company, that is using unscrupulous means to take our money by holding what we desire hostage.

It's as simple as that. We don't negotiate with hostage takers.

Validating hostage takers method of extorting money from us encourages the hostage takers to keep taking hostages.

To put it kindly, trying to justify saving money while negotiating with hostage takers is the height of lunacy. The only answer is "No!", not "how much?".

The fact that Epic is building a stable of hostages doesn't make them more attractive, it makes Epic a business of hostage taking. Doing it once is bad, making a business out of it should be recognized as criminal - society needs to react to stop that kind of behavior.

That's why we say "No!" to hostage takers. We don't help or fund them by falling victim to their way of doing business. Giving in to Epic would validate their actions, making their business a way of life for us all. Do we want to live that life? Do we want to fund the criminals trying to foist that way of life on us all?

We say "No!" to Epic, not "How much?"

 

The problem is we are not trying to negotiate with epic but the devs and publishers.


We have to ask them what's more sustainable going with epic only for a 12% cut out of the 80$ game and having everyone else waiting for the game to go on sale for 40$ and that store taking 30% on top of that half you lost ?

Or dumping it on as many stores as possible and having your cake and eat it too?

Because as is epic is unfeasible for a lot of people that live outside the big currency areas and have depressed currencies as I posted.

And that's not taking into account the sketchy Ness as because while that can be argued away hard math can't.


Anyways I feel we are digressing too far away from the topic of the thread.

Today I am collecting my seikiro CE for PC and as an added bonus I found a collection of all the mercenaries saga games for the GBA I believe repacked for the switch. While not a 2018 title I do believe my annoyance of the GameStop reps about when it is going to be in should qualify it for most anticipated.

Looks like there is a new player in town!
Chris Avellone being involved in the project puts this game on my wanted list.



And oh look, it will have a GOG release as well (fingers crossed it will stay that way).

 

GOG has been confirmed as I follow them on twitter.

Also paradox usually follows their audience closely and have made a few jokes on epic exclusivity so we are safe.

I got to play a bit of the TTRPG but not the video game.

I am excited about this.

Sent from my LM-Q710.FGN using Tapatalk

 

Bloodlines 2 does seem one to follow, given the writing team. Hopefully the developers have enough resources to do it justice.

 

Yea, im kinda on the fence about it as I know paradox is a pretty solid publisher and will likely do it justice and furnish them with what they need.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuut their portfolio is mostly 4x strategy and sim games.

I think Daniel mortgaurd (former lead on stellaris, I probably spelled his name wrong) has a solid grip on managing things.

Oh man I can't wait, this is going to be gooooooood.

 

Somewhere I read the developers saying they were going to be (more) politically correct in the new Bloodlines game; to my mind that doesn't bode well. Other than that I'm hopeful and watching developments on it closely as I liked the first one; I recall laughing out loud at times when reading the Malk dialogue in Bloodlines 1.

 

I read around that it's going to be a central tennant. There was a huge thread twitter on it. I'm not fond of a lot of the politics they seek to push.

But I have historically liked the series so I keep my 10ft pole on hand to poke it if they don't go overboard.

Cant argue with that. In the first game the lore was there but it served mostly to fill out the backstory; it didn't really enter in to the gameplay. In this case it sounds like they're trying to pull it into the gameplay itself. I don't like that. I play games to have fun and unwind, not to have social justice agendas thrown in my face. I'm definitely out my conversation choices are all politically correct BS. Nightmare scenario right there.

 

Well at least have Bethesda put themseoves back on the menu by allowing All their upcoming games onto steam instead of just the first part client.
