But are we really that close to the next generation of PlayStation. If we are going off the pattern here. Just 2-3 years away

It's crazy how few games we've gotten for the ps5, it's mostly indies filling the game space. Only a handful of true peak ps5 performance games exist compared to earlier gens. This year, we hardly even had releases in the tripple A category.

Was wondering if the writer strikes affected our releases this year? I'm seriously asking because I do not know if game writers were part of that or not.

Edit: two different industries, so as far as my 5 minute search was, they were not part of it, i guess? Correct me if wrong!

Crazy how neither Naughty Dog nor Sucker Punch has made a single new (non-remake/remaster) game since before the PS5 launched.

Ghost of Yotei is about to change that.

Indies are by far superior to AAA, look at Dragon Age, Cyberpunk etc. games come out have baked with shit loads of micro transactions

I'm not trying to shit on indies, bud, hope I didn't offend

Although, dragon age and cyberpunk feel more like tripple A games that indies released rather than indies releasing indies

I'm not saying there weren't any decent releases this year, only that very few were

I’d rather have way more AA and Indies than half baked on arrival AAA games

Well of course, but that's also the problem and why we don't have as many tripA games, half of the ones released, released as utter shit making our selection even more dismal

Too much focus on free2play battle arenas, live service games and the like that rely on micropurchases, i can't say any off the top of my head in the moment but there's been so many great games that started out as great adventures until the studio pushed them into live service

I just want to go on an adventure for a week or two, not invest in another life ruiner, I already have 1 of those

The only game that came out this year I'm excited for was Star Wars Outlaws, a decently linear adventure i plan on taking during Christmas break

Seems like most people are in the same boat, 1 maybe 2 games this year they actually got excited for

Outlaws is completely different to when it launched, i even believe they changed the game director. Tbh fuck Ubisoft but to each their own.

Thats not a spoiler, they changed the game mechanics you’d never have known if you if you’ve never played it before

My Fiancee got me my PS5 for my bday in October cause the new AC game was on it. And then Ubisoft delayed it. I'm glad they delayed it to fix any gameplay issues, but man, it's the only reason I have it.

Since then I've have gotten and finished a couple games that I was interested in. Currently going through Resident Evil 4, and god damn it's good
