League Overview:

Welcome to Year 6 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The Metacritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2024. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Armored Core VI and it gets pushed into 2024, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2023. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.

The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2024. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.

The Prizes:
1st Place: A $50 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

Starfield will be a locked 30 FPS on console...

But that moon isn't just a backdrop. You can go to that moon.

bonham2

12-Jun-2023(#123)

Funny how it will be excused on Xbox because of the size and scope of the game, but those same people make fun of Tears of the Kingdom's frame rate (which is easily the biggest game ever made with almost no loading screens at all).

TalonJedi87

12-Jun-2023(#124)

30fps? Oh Bethesda.

Kommie

12-Jun-2023(#125)

Obviously we all know this game still won't be playable for a full year after release.

Shane12m

12-Jun-2023(#126)

I’m fine with 30fps if the game is amazing. But honestly the gameplay seemed very uninspiring to me. This is a large scale sci fi rpg and the only somewhat interesting part of combat was that you can jet pack around a bit?

TalonJedi87

12-Jun-2023(#127)

Glad it’s gonna be on Game Pass day 1.

Archer

12-Jun-2023(#128)

Just noticed I was top of the list. Too bad it wont last. I only have one game left. While many of the people within range have 2 or 3.

Scott

12-Jun-2023(#129)

I only have 5 games, but I still think I'll be able to get 10 this year.

PizzaTheHutt

12-Jun-2023(#130)

I'm surprised I'm in Top 3 currently. I was worried about Kerbal Space Program 2 screwing things up for me because of the negative reviews it is getting on Steam, but it's just Early Access and I don't think Metacritic will post reviews until the finished product is out, and I have no idea when that will be, so I hope Alan Wake II will review well and replace it.

Skull and Bones...I don't even know if it's a thing anymore. I think I've been waiting for it since 2017 or 2018.

Not looking good for benstylus' list. 33 Immortals is a 2024 release. The Shantae remake, does that count for his "new shantae game" though?

It does not. I specifically named a couple of remakes elsewhere in the list. It doesn't count unless it's a new entry in the series

HybridCRoW

12-Jun-2023(#133)

Gotta admit that was a good run I had... with all but 1 game showing reviews so far.

Curious to see how my last game reviews and where I end up in 6 months.

sefjwm

12-Jun-2023(#134)

Ah, too bad. Was trying to foil your perfect 0 xD. As much as I would love of Legacy of Kain anything it's probably never going to happen :(

SwiftJAB

12-Jun-2023(#135)

Unlikely that I'll get a full roster this year unless something magically drops early. Anyone brave enough to do a 2024 list will only games that are set to be Day-1 releases for Game Pass?

Not possible to get 10 titles if it's first party MS published games.

Shane12m

12-Jun-2023(#137)

I’m second to last place. I’ll say it now with confidence I will finish in the top 5 :)

I was gonna post this in the Xbox thread, but that is closed due to lack of anything worth posting about in Xbox land for the past 2 months.

I'm not a big Bethesda fan so I don't play much of their games, but I do know their games are always loaded with bugs at launch. Like, it's freakin' meme status. But Mr. Booty says this will have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game and I thought it was funny that's a real headline and not something from a gaming satire site.That's something they should be aiming for with each game.

They've been working on the game for 12 years. It better be the most polished product they have ever put out.

OP updated with scores for Crash Team Rumble and Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. Both are currently at 73 on Metacritic.

Also, I believe the FF16 review embargo lifts in a couple of hours. I'll update the OP with scores for that one later today.

Yup pretty awesome, my concern though is there are a lot of reviews mentioning that the rpg aspects are pretty shallow and that was a worry I had coming into it

I was very strongly considering putting "new 2D Mario game" on my list, but decided to play it safer this year. Kicking myself now.

With the new warioware game I may end up getting points this year after all.

I knew I should have specified platformer.

Happened to me last year with one of my favorite game series.. I really thought God of War Ragnorok was going to slip from 2022 to 2023. Silly rabbit I was.

@Scott I'm kicking myself a bit for not adding RE4, but I think we have a chance to end near the top.

Scott

22-Jun-2023(#154)

You did add RE4 though!

lol I meant Dead Space, I knew it was one of those horror remakes

Scott

Yeah, I wish I had added that one too.

Good to see FF16 is well-liked. I needed a bit of a boost after Gollum, lol.

I just played Bramble: The Mountain King on GamePass... just wow. colorful and dark. It had some challenging bits for me but I eventually got through them. Shame I didn't hear about this cause I'd have put it on my list.
