Which game are you looking forward to?

[melkathi]

Brucie, you sounded a bit like that ABBA song there, Take A Chance On Me

 

Not looking forward to anything in gaming really. Found most games too disappointing.

I'll have a look at that Dune strategy game when it comes out naturally. But other than that I'm hard pressed to think of anything that could be in the works. Maybe Midnight Suns.

As a huge ABBA-phyle this made my day.

I'm looking forward to Starfield mainly. Other big games I'm interested in are not likely to release in '22. There is that D&D game being made by Hidden Path Entertainment, which may release in '22.

I'm not looking forward to anything and I'll still probably be disappointed. /rayofsunshine

Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe should come out... eventually?

[ComradeYellow]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, Elden Ring, Avowed, TOW 2

The former two I'm quite skeptical of, the latter 2 I have a good deal of confidence of.

I forgot about STALKER 2, thats definitely on my list of anticipated games for 2022 and another " day 1 purchase " for sure

I just hope they don't screw it up, and they better add controller support this time around.  They wanted to make it a NFT blockchain type of game where contributers received special benefits but huge public backlash compelled them to politely walk back on it (stuff like that seems to be hugely popular in Eastern Europe, I am into crypto personally but I think it's a stupid idea for video games, Paypal is quite sufficient). 

Sequels to games released over a decade ago are almost always a dice roll, and it doesn't matter what region its from, and the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has quite a cult following but it definitely wasn't perfectly optimized or coded.  Minimalist to the extreme.

Its funny you mention ABBA because I also love their music despite many younger, and older, people considering their music to be " meh" 

My parents got divorced when I was one and my mom raised us but we saw my dad maybe every 4-5 weeks because he was working overseas loads but we did go overseas once  a year  for 15 days on holiday  with him and my stepmom when I was about 10 onwards. Anyway my dad is a huge ABBA fan and when he use to come pick us he always use to play ABBA in his car so I literally grew up in the late 1970s  and 1980s listening to their music

So I love all ABBA songs especially  Dancing Queen , Chiquitita and when I Kissed The Teacher

I dont think you ever forget the music you use to listen that your parents enjoy. Here is song list that all ABBA fans will know

You raise some good and interesting points but STALKER is more of a FPS\RPG hybrid and I always use M\KB for these types of games. Controller is best for some games like Far Cry and Assassins  Creed but not FPS games so I dont think Controller support should be  a necessity ?

When laptops are your platform of choice, controller support is very helpful.  Considering it is being released on consoles as well I'm reasonably confident Steam version will have controller support.

In my personal experience controller support may be detrimental in online shooters (which I do not play but did in fact have l33t Battlefield skills back in the day) but not PvE shooters, they are just different.  In Resident Evil Village, for instance, I found using Magnums and Shotguns to be more nicer to use with controllers but M/K more precise and consistent firing with the Assault Rifle (WMX) was better.

Put me on the list of people with nothing they're looking forward to.  If Midnight Suns didn't have RNG card garbage, I might have been slightly interested, but as it is, if I ever play it it'll be when I can pick up the game and all it's DLC for less than $10.

You know the name of the game?

 

PS: The only game, that I am looking forward is StarCrawlers Chimera But I do not think they will be able to finish the game this year.

Mineko's Night Market

Pathfinder Wrath's dlcs

New Atelier which isn't Sophie or remake

Hazelnut Bastille (probably abandoned)

Little Witch in the Woods

Baldur's Gate 3

[Wormerine]

From the ones I actually know stuff about:

Elden Ring and Hitman3
 

Stuff I am looking forward to learning more about:

Obsidian Trinity (Avowed, Outer Worlds2, Pentiment)

Tactical Breach Wizards

Sings of Conquest

Metal Slug Tactics

[melkathi]

Of course Steelrising could be promising.

I know some people here are bound to play it just for it being a Spiders game. Which is a good enough reason really, considering there are people who play Larian games for being Larian games

[bugarup]

I wish Icepick Lodge would finish Bachelor route for "Pathologic 2" next year, because now when I know they're on it I can't play it because I want to do it in proper order, Bachelor then Haruspex.

No, the only things we know so far are that it is third-person, open world, and AAA.

And another D&D game is being made by OtherSide Entertainment. Zero info on that one.

WotC boss has said they have about seven D&D video games in the works, with an expected one or two releases per year from '21 through '25. This year was Dark Alliance. in '22 hopefully it is BG3 plus the Hidden Path game.

I have every one of their ten albums plus all the singles. All on CD, as is my entire music collection of about 270 CDs. Growing up in Sri Lanka in the 1970s and early '80s, the sole English language radio channel in the country played a lot of great Western rock and pop music, but overwhelmingly European than American because as a former British colony everything was much more Anglo-centric. So ABBA got played a LOT (along with another very popular group called Boney M, a Jamaican group but from Germany), and I spent many hours in the afternoons after getting home from school listening to ABBA on the radio while dreaming of someday living in the West.

Great story, I also know Boney M. We listen to them every Christmas and they part of our Christmas song collection along with the likes of John Denver

You the first person I have ever met  on any forum who knows Boney M. Its amazing how we can  have things in common with people that you chat to  on a forum like this that are not just about gaming and politics 

So how so you feel about living in the USA now, any regrets overall? Im glad you achieved that part of your life goals

I'm definitely also looking forward to that.

[melkathi]

I think you'd be surprised how many people on this forum know Boney M. At least ra ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen should be familiar to most.
