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

August 30 for Star Wars Outlaws. I'm a bit surprised how soon that is coming.

Either Far Cry re-skinned or Assassin's Creed re-skinned. Climb that tower (but with force powers this time), reveal that map barf. Find all the things! Also you should buy all these "Time Savers™" "DLC" macro-transactions. It will make the game much more fun, we swear. Because we know you don't have time to find all this stuff on your own. We made it that way on purpose! We love exploiting people with FOMO.

On damn. Kinda mad I didn’t put it on my list now but again to the point of it being another FC re-skin. Yeah I’m not too mad. Although it’ll prob still somehow land in the high 70’s or low 80’s cause those FC and AC sandbox nonsense games still have large followings I believe. It really is kinda sad to be a SW fan nowadays for reasons such as this. Stupid live services. Sigh.

Animations and script are a bit rough. They still have a few months though. I hear the Avatar game, while the same basic Ubisoft open world style, was interesting and pretty to look at.

Yeah, animations definitely look rough, but I'm into it. Unfortunately. It's almost certainly going to be tedious and grindy and feature the same ol' formulaic, creatively bankrupt excuse for open world game design that has become Ubisoft's calling card. And I'm going to hate myself for playing it. But it's Star Wars. And it's a female protagonist and I'm a sucker for any games with a female protagonist. I'm going to play it and I'm going to complain, but hopefully it's like Odyssey where the good outweighed the bad and not like Valhalla which made me swear off AC games forever.

The one good thing is that Ubi games tank in value fast. Should be $30 by Black Friday. That's when I'll pick it up.

I'm honestly betting it hits below $30 before Black Friday. Look at what happened to Prince of Persia, which scored 86-87 on Open/Meta critic.

This is true. PoP Lost Crown is pretty great tho. There’s no hope for AAAAAAAA games now that Ubi is putting out at 70 smackers. They’re all gonna be slogs. Go here. Tick this box. Stop by our shop to buy an occasional time saving upgrade with real world money. Blah.

Some 🧀 y moments, but it doesn't seem so bad. Does seem kinda plain though to me, not exciting. Nothing that makes me really want to play the game.

Sorry for the delay, everyone. OP should be up to date now with scores for Stellar Blade (83), Tales of Kenzera: Zau (77) and Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heroes (76).

I also included the release date for Metaphor: ReFantazio which is coming out on October 11

Lastly, I'm going to tally up guesses now to see if anyone guessed correctly for any of these three games. Totally spaced and forgot to get my guesses in.

Okay so we have two winners! @Lunar guessed correctly for Tales of Kenzera and @TalonJedi87 guessed correctly for Stellar Blade. I think this is his 3rd win now which is wild!

Congrats guys. PMs incoming...

Ya know what kinda bugs me about Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (specifically the remake)? Normally I have no complaints about games running at 30fps as long as it is consistent and doesn't dip below that. Of course 60fps would be ideal, but I can deal with 30. But this Paper Mario remake was confirmed yesterday to be running at 30, when the original on GameCube was a locked 60. I feel like when you are tasked with remastering or remaking a game, you should aim to match the fps of the source material, or improve upon it if it was sub-60 to start with, but not cut it in half. I know the Switch is old hardware at this point, but it shouldn't be breaking a sweat with this game.

Ewww really? That’s despicable by today’s standards. Hellblade 2 is also making console versions locked to 30fps. Luckily that I’ll just be getting game pass for a month to hit and quit it though so that’s really no love lost but spending $60 on a remake, first of all, only for them to have the original perform better is beyond baffling not to mention frustrating.

That seems strange to me. I don't know that much about hardware, but I would think that the switch is more powerful than the Nintendo GameCube and while that doesn't necessarily mean that a remastered game would automatically be a simple thing to capture the same fps, it's surprising to me that it would go from 60 to 30. Personally, as long as there's no lag I don't mind. But still. Surprising to me.

Nintendo is waiting for Switch 2 sothey can charge $70 for that 60fps port of a Switch 1 game.

I wouldn’t put it past them. I’m sure they’re already salivating at the idea. They already started flirting with the $70 price tag with Zelda TOTK at launch.

Nintendo's favorite game to sell you is one you've already bought at full price.

Kicking myself for taking Animal Well off my list. I had it last year but news about release dates was lacking so I decided not to have it. Looking to be like mid to high 80s so far

Really looking forward to Animal Well. I’ve been enjoying Dunkey’s Daily random video updates too about the countdown to the Animal Well update.

Animal Well is up for PS+ Extra subscribers today. I have it downloading now.

I don't know if anyone other than me has it on their list, but Little Kitty, Big City reviews are out too, it's at 78.

Animal Well looks pretty good. Had no clue about it until today. It's interesting to me how certain games I know about long in advance but certain games I hear next to nothing about.

It wasn't even remotely on my radar. Pretty sure I didn't hear about it until today on this site.

The art style (at least of the gameplay I watched) reminds me of Undertale, Celeste, and Omori.
