League Overview:
Welcome to Year 7 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 OpenCritic 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 2025. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Marvel's Wolverine and it gets pushed into 2025, 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 2024. 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 2025. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes: 1st Place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card 2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card 3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card
The Nintendo gimmick is if you want to play first party Nintendo games, you can only buy them on Nintendo systems. They put no effort into Pokémon and it still sells millions.
Really wide range of guesses on this one. The OpenCritic score is currently 76, but I was supposed to post this yesterday but wasn't able to because I didn't have my laptop. The score when I checked and made things final yesterday was 77 so @TalonJedi87 wins again! Amazing!
Damn. I'll probably still play it just because my friend and I are always looking for co-op games, but definitely waiting for a sale now or even better if it just gets added to PS+.
I want to play the Stellar Blade demo before making a guess. I have no real feel for that one. I was going to try it out this weekend, but Dragon's Dogma 2 is everything to me atm!
Luigi’s Mansion 2 remaster I think is June too but beyond that I’m hearing some crickets unless some announcements for concrete release dates happen between now and then on some other titles like Silent Hill 2 and MGS3 remakes etc.
