I think the second half of 2023 (well more like Q4/september) is gonna be amazing for game releases. Games like Payday 3, Cities Skylines 2, Starfield. Any other I missed that you're excited for?

And Baldurs Gate 3! And Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. For those who enjoy various types of RPGs.

[–] CentreMetre 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And that massive 2.0 update for cyberpunk. Ive been playing recently, tho ive found its still quite buggy, hopefully that update fixes the bugs

[–] ToastyBanana 5 points 2 years ago

I'm scared but eager for PL. Played the main story last summer after all the bug fixes, but I don't want to wait another 2 years for the game to be in a playable state, also CDPR's comments lately got me a bit worried

Pikmin 4

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

SUPER MARIO RPG BABY

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago

Super Mario RPG is the thing that may make me dust off the switch this year after TOTK but I dunno. I wanted it for all these years and now I can"t escape the thought that it's still kinda creatively bankrupt

Armored Core 6 and Remnant 2! A lot of games like Hades 2 and Hollow Knight silksong don't have release dates so... Maybe this year?

[–] JubBurnsRed53 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I know I'm not adding much with this, but... Yep, it'll be good.

Can’t forget homeworld 3!

Edit: I was late to the party, hw3 got pushed to 2024. So I’ll change my answer to the expense game, which comes in July.

Also, hard agree on star field, and CS2!

Edit2: armored core 6

[–] Kinakuta 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was gutted when HW3 was pushed to next year, I was so looking forward to playing it this summer.

[–] lenninscjay 2 points 1 year ago

Same, at the time I made the comment I didn’t even realize they had pushed it back. Cut it a little close to release didn’t they?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Sure, but so was the first half.

[–] emptyother 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

New Assassins Creed, for those who enjoy those kinda games. Which I do. Also maybe XDefiant.

[–] DoakSteezy 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty stoked for xDefiant. Beta was very fun

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Sadly many games that will not reach PC or at least for a few years. I would love a world where games are released to all current platform on the same day for everyone. More people having access to games is better for customers, devs/studios ... but some high ranked apparently thinks blocking access to games if you don’t own their specific plaform is something good and even required to face the concurrence and i think it’s bullshit but it’s just my gamer’s opinion.

[–] Mortalsub 4 points 2 years ago

Mortal Kombat 1

[–] TerribleJokes 4 points 2 years ago

It surely will be great but personally the first half of 2023 wins just because of street fighter 6 and final fantasy xvi because they’re already 2 of my favorite games ever

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Alan Wake 2 and Spider-Man 2

[–] jeffsdad 4 points 2 years ago

Super Mario Rpg remake coming out in November. Can't wait for that, really dug it as a kid. Played it after Earthbound and CT, perfect game after 2 perfect games

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

If we're lucky we'll get Path of Exile 2. Unlikely, but I'm hoping.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Forza Motorsport. Namco's never making a new Ridge Racer, so that'll have to do for a while again

[–] Seasons 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There’s a game that comes out soon called ‘En Garde!’

And I’m so hyped for it. Wish listed it and will buy the day it releases.

[–] otter_bee 3 points 2 years ago

I saw this on IronPineapple's channel. Looks really good. Oozes with personality.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

AEW Fight Forever

Super Geno World GOTY

[–] berno 1 points 2 years ago

This whole year has been amazing for games and second half has way more in store. 2023 def a great year for gaming

[–] ethikal 1 points 2 years ago

Great because there's alot of promise with what we've seen so far. Bad cuz I'm a dad with no time to play!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like 2023 needs to be written off for games. Yeah we're getting Starfield but that's about all the "AAA" games I feel.

I think this is a lagged effect due to COVID. I think it won't be until second half of 2024 or 2025 till we start seeing regular AAA game releases again.
