"Second half of 2023 will be great for games." Thoughts? - eviltoast

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?

    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.

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

    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

        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?

      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

    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.
