This Week in Gaming (Week 4)

[TheLostSwede]

As we enter the second to last week of January, we have another week packed to the brim full of new releases. The major release of this week allows you to walk around in 2016 km² of a mediaeval fantasy world with five different regions for some MMORPG action. This is followed by some 4X Roman strategy, a trip to Norse mythology hell or pretending to be one of King Arthur's knights. This is followed by a remake of another JPRG from a famous franchise and we end the week with an anime inspired PvP shooter.

quinfall............guy out in a short sleeve shirt in winter...........nice

Maybe the Gulf Stream is helping out like Europe?

RPG set in Arthurian britain sounded excellent but it looks like a hyper-generic action RPG.

-15C in the upper right corner - everyone's heavily drunk or on drugs in this picture if they're dressed so lightly.

I'm more exited about the early access of Tokyo Xtreme Racer. Apart of the mobile games it is 18 1/2 years ago since the last installment of this series was released.

"Synduality" sounded familiar so I checked and it was in my Ignore list. Not surprising since it has the double treat: EAC + Bandai Namco's piece of garbage EULA.

I can't believe Sim racing is where it is at and you did not include Asseto Corsa Evo?

Seriously? I would like to insert quite a few cuss words here.

This Week in Gaming (Week 3)

Welcome to the middle of January and a busy week of new game releases. We kick off this week with some driving, on tracks though, as these cars might not be entirely road legal. If cars aren't your thing, then how about a city builder, but in the sky? If that doesn't tickle your fancy, how about...

Please take over and post this every weekend and make sure EVERYONE is happy with the games you post.

Let me apologize. It has been a stressful weekend in terms of PC enjoyment. I guess I should have known since I bought it on Friday lol.

I'm not that suprised - I've known some to go around in shorts in freezing weather and once saw a guy riding a motorcycle down the highway to wherever they had to go in shorts when it was 18F/-7.7C outside.

I can tolerate some cold but nothing like that - The windchill the bike rider had going on had made them question their choice of riding gear/clothing that morning.
I was on my bike too headed in to work but I was well dressed for it at least.

As for the character in the game, it's not a huge deal but it's there.

I'll wait a while until I'll get FF VII Rebirth. The first part of the remake was pretty meh port at first, so I waited a while before getting that as well.

RPG set in Arthurian britain sounded excellent but it looks like a hyper-generic action RPG.

I was about to say something like this, i start reading "oh.,. rpg.. set in arturian times.. BATTLING MONSTERS.. wait.. what??!?" and i see the screens and it looks like a generic korean rpg turd, what the f has "giant monster battles" have anything to do with arthur... ffs

i'm slowly turning into a grognard or completely jaded(or have been one since forever) because games are becoming less and less appealing to me, i honestly cannot say when was the last time i was excited or hyped over a game(and if i was when i did not get completely burned by it), and it certainly has not been in the last 15~ years..., even with my policy to never touch a game until it's one year after release at the least

It's like... dunno it's all "AAA+++" turd, or early access trash that gets abandoned, or they feature dumb decisions(everything is "roguelite" f you give me my fking savegames you twat dev or "pixel art" or "survival crafter") or they have plainly bad mechanics(tedious micro, deliberate time-wasters -like for example no fast travel-) that are simply dealbreakers for me

There is always that one guy who somehow walks with short sleives while everyone else is wearing a thick coat, he is definitely that one guy.

Ever watch European Football. There are always players in Short sleeves and Shorts amongst the Sweaters.

Didn't know this was getting a remake, thanks. I just beat the original Dreamcast version again a few weeks ago.
