Is anyone else more interested in the fact that they're still releasing games on ps4, sharing them with ps5. I was about to get a ps5 but so many of these games are still being made for ps4 and there haven't really been that many games that truly pushed into this new gen. It's been almost 4 years.

The massive game industry layoffs of 23/24 are definitely going to affect the quality and release scheduling of many games for probably the next 5 years. Ill be surprised if we match a year like 2023 within that timeframe in terms of quantity and quality.

It wasn't necessarily a bad year just not a great year for me and couldn't ever HOPE to match the freight train that was 2023.

Sony and Microsoft are too terrified to commit fully to their current gen systems.

Sucks for people who can't find nothing to play and/or only needs big budget AAA games to be entertained, lol.

I've been playing FF7 rebirth all damn year it felt like, and rise of the ronin+stellar blade was good for me. The smaller releases/indies have been pretty good this year (earth defense force 6 is dumb fun), and I got tormented souls 2 coming up.

Shadow of the Erdtree is right there, but if that's not your jam we got:

Kunitsu-Gami (peak PS2-era style gaming thanks capcom)
Dragon's Dogma 2 (unfortunately the game runs out of steam pretty quick but it's fun up until that point)
Wukong (if action games are your jam, anyway)
FF7R2 (...but not on PC yet)
Helldivers
Infinite Wealth
Palworld

on the indie side we got:
Conscript
Illusion Carnival
Arranger
Nine Sols
Crow Country
Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus
Pacific Drive
Ghostrunner 2
Hades 2
Another Crab's Treasure
Buckshot Roulette
Balatro
Against the Storm 1.0
Factorio Space Age (soon)
Satisfactory 1.0
Foundry

I know this is just me and my boomer take but... gaming just doesn't hit the same anymore.

I play plenty of indies like Balatro, Hades, Halls of Torment, etc but I want AAA that doesn't suck. All AAA games have premium stores, premium currency, battle pass and seasons. Not to mention how many games are open world. Every FPS coming out is some kind of lame ass hero shooter.

I'm over it man.

I'm really hoping Space Marine 2 doesn't suck cause the multiplayer looks like a love letter to 360/PS3 era MP and it's exactly what I need.

The great thing about video games is that theres so many of them that you could live three lifetimes and not play all the ones you will no doubt love, so there really is no point in complaining about the quality of new games.

This has been a ridiculous year for jrpgs though

Infinite wealth, Persona 3 reload, SMTV:Vengeance, FF7:Rebirth, Unicorn overlord all came out this year. Metaphor is coming out soon, and P3 is getting the answer dlc.

As a fan of rpgs i cant say this is the worst year in gaming with a straight face. Not even close.
