I watched Easy Allies review of Elden and I kept thinking fantasy Dark Souls (which I guess is not a bad thing).

Gran Turismo is killing it (not Eldin Ring killing it, but still good). I wish I had it in my main list, but I'm sure one of my games won't come out this year.

I'm pretty sure that was the last game I took off of my list. Darn.

Yeah, I had gran turismo on my list too but took it off. I've also heard mumblings of Mario Rabbids getting delayed. Just mumblings so don't take my word for it, but that would suck for me because I took some gambles.

I think Ubi said on their recent earnings call that it would come out before the end of Q1 2023. I'm still pretty confident it'll come out this year, though.

I was torn between Mario Rabbids and Splatoon and went Splatoon. Splatoon should hopefully be somewhere between 80-83, but looking at all the other lists, I kinda wish I went with something with a bit more upside.

OP updated with scores for Gran Turismo 7. It's currently at 88 on Metacritic from 75 reviews.

Wow. Look at Gran Turismo making a comeback! I used to love GT1-3! Might have to check this out in due time.

This is my year COPIUM

I'm just sad that in another week or so I won't be at zero anymore

Stray was supposed to be my wildcard and its starting to look like it really may be the make or break on my list. will probably wish id taken hellblade 2 or something if its not good. still hoping bayo3 and botw2 actually happen, dying light 2 was supposed to be a better alternate in case one of those slipped.

did anyone have "mainline pokemon game" or something of the sort? i wasnt expecting new mainline entries the same year as Arceus

Made it into the top 10! Woot!

Wow - I'm 11th currently. So unexpected....

To be fair, at this point, those in the top 10 just have picket more games that already came out. If we went by average score per game, things might look a little different. I'm still feeling pretty good about my placement, although I wish I had put GT7 in my main list.

OP updated with scores for Chocobo GP and Triangle Strategy. Chocobo GP is at 65 on Metacritic from 25 reviews and Triangle Strategy is at 83 on Metacritic from 41 reviews.

#1

Wow, that Chocobo GP game almost made my list but now I'm glad it didn't. I still want to play it, but I'll do it via the free-to-play version releasing in the eShop.

That's disappointing. I guess those games are best to be remembered fondly.

Babylon's Fall is going to be bad for anyone who picked it. More Square Enix live service trash, apparently.

I had Babylon's Fall as one of my top games in 2021 until they said it would be mainly a live service focus. Then I removed it from my list quicker than flies boink.

Why must "live service" be trash?

A bit of news this morning...

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp has been delayed to an unannounced date and Gotham Knights has been dated. It launches on the 25th of October.

https://www.gematsu.com/2022/03/advance-wars-12-re...
https://www.gematsu.com/2022/03/gotham-knights-lau...

Sigh of relief for Gotham Knights. My list has too many delayed or probably soon to be delayed games.

I went way safer this year with my picks

I need 2 of the following to release this year to be ok:

Bayonetta 3
God of War Ragnarok
Hogwarts Legacy
Hollow Knight: Silksong

I'm not too worried about GoW, but I don't know about the other 3...

I'm sad Gotham Knights isn't earlier. I'm really looking forward to it!

I'm actually feeling optimistic about Bayonetta 3. The last time they showed it, they put 2022 in the trailer. I'll be surprised if Hogwarts Legacy comes out this year. I don't know what to think about Silksong.

Looks like I'll have to stop rocking the donut soon.

"Nintendo Indefinitely Delays War Game Over Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine"

You have got to be f*cking kidding me!!! (They're obviously referring to Advance Wars 1 & 2)

wwe2k22 sitting at 77 on PS5 (not enough reviews yet on other systems for a score).

That's way more respectable than I thought it was going to be.

Yeah, that's very solid! I'll updated the OP once 10+ reviews come in.

Figures I didn't put Gotham Knight on my list this year, thinking it'd be delayed again like last. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to the game regardless!

Guys at GameStop were telling me how hilarious Tiny Tina is... and also they're excited for the new Kirby game because it's the first REAL Kirby game since... I think the NES?

If you don't count Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64, Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby Return to Dreamland, Kirby Triple Deluxe, Kirby Planet Robobot, or Kirby Star Allies, then yeah. Since NES.

I honestly didn't catch how far back they were talking about. I only told them I hadn't played Kirby since the NES.

Oh, I thought you were saying they claimed it was the first REAL one since the NES

hopefully excellent news for us. i also really want to play the game, when the first reveal happened a couple years back or whenever i slowly started realizing "wait.. are we the cat.. is this about being a cat... omg youre the cat" and then it happened and i was ready to play it lol. hopefully its good too i need it to by my wild card game, i was surprised anyone else put it on their list

I really thought this one would review better. Still super hyped to play it on Friday.

Maybe we're getting Hogwarts Legacy this year after all?

I noticed you don't have Kirby and the Forgotten Land listed for March 25 release.

I wonder if STALKER 2 gets delayed again, given the situation now.

I'm hoping Kirby and the Forgotten Land does well, not because of points, but because I really like Kirby and want more people to enjoy it.

I'm no kirby fan but the demo was a lot of fun. I hope it does well too.

So how does the swap work? Do we get to choose which of the two backups we'd like to change out for a game that's delayed to next year? Are we allowed to choose the one with the higher points if they get reviewed before delay is confirmed??

HybridCRoW wrote:

I think they just go in order. If one game doesn't come out, the #1 alt is used (unless that alt also doesn't come out, in which case your #2 is used). If two games don't come out, both alts are used.

If three games don't come out, well better luck next year

Clearly Kirby just put them to sleep in order to eat them.

OP updated with scores for Tunic. It's currently sitting at 87 on Metacritic from 39 reviews. Great pick @EB and @incubus421

https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/tunic

Wow, that looks VERY colorful. Definitely will have to look into playing that when I've knocked my current queue down.... whenever that will be.

Wow, I didn't expect Tunic to score anywhere close to that. It looked like it was going to be a very basic, cheaply-done Zelda clone. Now I want to play it!

wow what a great sleeper, thats nearly as good as celeste that year scoring like 90 or whatever it got

Harry Potter is supposed to come out this Holiday season now, and it looks pretty good. It might turn out to be a pretty good pick for those that gambled.

I've had my eyes on Tunic since the first PAX demo a couple of years ago. I feel foolish for not considering it on my list... Still, I look forward to playing it on Game Pass one of these days

ACG on YT said it's kinda messy. It's fine at platforming and being a walking sim but when the action starts it feels a bit wonky. I'm still gonna get it on a sale.

Still reviewed better than Stranger of Paradise. And I was so confident about that game lol.

https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-5/ghos...

Pokemon is down from 83 to 82 and Tunic is down from 87 to 85 so standings have shuffled around a little. @kommie is back in the lead.

@Heavyd814life - weird request, but I would like to officially drop Gran Turismo 7 from my alternate list.

Not replace it with anything, just remove it entirely. With the crap Sony is pulling with the game (8x more expensive DLC cars, reducing race rewards to make it harder to grind, much of the single player content requiring you be online), I just want nothing to do with it anymore.

Removing it won't have a potential positive effect on my score - it's my second alt, so Forza would have been used first if a game on my main list didn't come out. All removing it would do is make it so I get a zero instead of 87 if a second game didn't release.

@benstylus I understand your disgust with the game but...what's the point of that, exactly? You aren't giving any money to the developers by having it on your list. You shouldn't just be able to remove games to your list once submitted, alternate or not.

Cevil wrote:

I agree if there was a chance that removing the game would increase my score, but since the only effect this could have on my score is negative, I feel like it would be OK. But I will let Heavyd814life decide since this is their topic.

I was discussing GT7 with someone on Discord the other day. What a disappointment. I really hope they end up patching that crap!

@benstylus No need to complicate things. We'll just keep things the way they are.

Wait till he learns there are people in the NFL who are of questionable reputation/women beaters/possible rapists. He'll probably complain about Madden 23 as well and I assume try to remove it? Can't see whatever he said.

There are people on gametz of questionable reputation. Doesn't mean I want gtz banned

If Ben doesn't want GT7 anymore, I'll take it.

@Scott, I'll trade you Dying Light 2 for Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

speaking of Kirby...first reviews are starting to roll in. sitting at an 85 right now.

in hindsight, miffed that i took it off my list at the last moment, but in my defense it looked a heck of a lot worse before the February Direct

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands also reviewing well. At 81 atm. I'll have the OP updated sometime this afternoon

bogo wrote:

Yeah, I remember watching footage and thinking that's an easy pass. Didn't watch the Feb direct so seeing it at 85 was quite surprising. Kudos to the folks who picked it.

I simply picked it cause most first-party Nintendo scores well.

I didn't know about the Kirby game til I was in GameStop last week. They were hyped about it. I ended up pre-ordering it because I liked Kirby on NES.

Surprised about Tiny Tina... I mean I didn't do a lot of research other than what I read it was supposed to be about and when I saw a video of it I was a bit iffy on my choice.

I thought Kirby looked pretty good already just from the first trailer, then it got even better in the Feb Direct.

I thought I had Kirby on my list but didn't even have it as an alternate.

@benstylus EA Sports PGA Tour delayed to 2023

https://www.pcgamer.com/eas-new-pga-tour-game-is-d...

LOL, he'll have to use GT7 now!

If EA were a post, I would neg them

No idea if anyone actually picked it, but Suicide Squad pushed to next year.

5 people have it as a main pick, and 1 as an alternate.

Breaking of the Weapons 2 delayed to Spring 2023

I was feeling pretty confident that I would have a full 10 games from my list release this year...now I'm not so sure.

Kommie wrote:

I don't think anyone is shocked by this. They haven't shown anything new in months

Man I somehow claimed to spot 4 in time to hear the announcement. I'm not shocked, but I am disappointed. I was really hoping both sequels to Horizon and Zelda were this year!

Well, crap.

Mixed feelings. A bit disappointed as a Zelda fan, but very happy for my list. I may actually stand a chance now if PlatinumGames can get it together and just give us a date for Bayo 3 already.

So as long as nothing else on my list gets delayed, I'm still good. Because I have a feeling the Potter game is going to score very high. Good swap!

Good thing that Sony Santa Monica just re-confirmed that the new God of War is coming out this year: https://twitter.com/BlueOwlzMedic/status/150710245.... I'm already at two games from my list for sure delayed until next year (Suicide Squad and BOTW 2).

I just need either Bayonetta or Silksong and I should be ok.

Scott wrote:

I doubt it.

Kommie wrote:

Of course you do.

Scott wrote:

I certainly hope Silksong is released, Hollow Knight was amazing but let's be realistic here....

Wasn't it originally supposed to release last year?

I don't think they've ever given any hint of a release date, it was just assumed based off the trailer released the year before.

Yeah I haven't really followed the game much. I just remember there was a trailer, then several people had it on their list last year, so I figured surely it would come out this year.

Companies just need to stop releasing trailers years in advance of the actual product release.

I don't mind early announcements, to let us anticipate the game for a while. Just don't give a date unless you're pretty darn sure.

Moss Book II released. Now let's see if anyone reviews it xD
Weird West too but so far this one not doing so great :(

OP updated with scores for Weird West. It's currently at 73 on Metacritic from 27 reviews. That's the PS4 version of the game. Interestingly, the PC version has 25 reviews and a Metacritic score of 78. It'll be interesting to see which version finishes with more reviews.

https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/weir...

PC had more earlier today and likely that's where more of the audience would be I would think.

looks like i will need both alternates of bayo3 doesnt hit this year since botw2 isnt happening.
(i wonder what everyone's top listing will be next year lol)

What have you heard about Bayonetta 3?

bonham2 wrote:

nothing new, has it been said it is def coming this year or delayed?

Rogue Legacy 2 came out, at 90 but no one has it.

According to this article:

https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/ubisoft-n...

In its full-year earnings report published on Wednesday, the company said Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Skull & Bones are on track to release during its current fiscal year ending on March 31, 2023.

Speaking on the company's earnings call, chief corporate finance officer Frédérick Duguet narrowed the release windows for the three games to the second half of the fiscal year, meaning they won't be released before October 1, 2022.

Mario + Rabbids is looking like early next year? So anywhere after October 1, 2022

could be a holiday game. early december seems realistic

Sure, but a game like that would bound to get buried with all the bigger releases.

With the attention that the first game got, I'm not so sure. Only thing (announced) around there is Starfield, and that's still a month buffer

Nintendo doesn't have anything on the docket for that timeframe yet. They could plug and play any of the games that they don't have a release date for yet,

Even with bigger releases around, a holiday release will probably still fare better saleswise than a January one.

Well, no one is actually gonna buy Starfield with GamePass.

Starfield is delayed to the beginning of 2023 @Archer eat your words. I think you were the one to say they've never delayed once a date was set.

Well, my score for the year is shot to pieces lol. I could have 4 or 5 not come out this year now.

I have 2 definitely delayed. I hope Bayo 3 comes out.

i already have two that are officially delayed...and that still leaves:
-Silksong
-Ragnorok
-Bayo3
-Marrio+Rabbids 2

and not a single one of those even has a tentative release month lol

Kommie wrote:

I was being sarcastic, talking crap about how buggy/crapty their games are and that they never patch/fix them.

But I am honestly shocked this was delayed. They always release games in a mess of a state. Why bother delaying this one?

Oh wait, M$ is in charge now. So I guess that makes sense.

I, mean it'll still be a buggy mess when it's released.

But with Halo: Finite being released in an unfinished state, why not just release Starfield and fix it later? Seems to be the AAA thing to do with M$'$ GamePass games. No one's really buying that crap anyway.

Looking at my list, I'm probably screwed.
God of War is most likely going to be delayed as well.
Hogwarts Legacy is going to be delayed based on recent rumors from "insiders".
And The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, still not release date. So probably delayed.

GG

Wait, you mean the tentpole franchise super mega expensive genre defying game that's supposed to release soon but has no gameplay shown anywhere was delayed?

In other news Sea of Stars is starting to look like it's not going to make it either. They've been really cagey about release dates after a lot of optimism earlier.

I'm already pre-dissapointed with Starfield. Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls: Blades were crap.

All these games being delayed means I still have a shot at winning this thing through attrition LOL

I'm just glad I'm doing much better than last year. I'll be thrilled if I manage to get 10 games, but I'm not banking on it.

https://www.gamesradar.com/stalker-2-has-been-dela...

in case it wasn't obvious, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is now officially 2023.

Suggestion for next year:

No remakes. They're easy high scoring games and take the strategy out of it.

Suggestion for next year:
No annual sports titles.

What kind of nub would pick the safe bets anyway?

Kommie wrote:

We discussed this earlier in the year, but my memory sucks so I don't even remember where we landed on this. I'm guessing by the negs that folks want to keep remakes in? I'm not fussed either way. But I think as long as it's built from the ground up, it should qualify. I look at 2023 and there are only 3 high-profile remakes that come to mind. Sure RE4 will probably slay, but FF7 Remake may or may not come out which makes it a risky pick and then there's Dead Space which could be good, but it's EA so who really knows.

I don't give a fudge about negs. I just negged my own post, so it's-4 now. My point is, it's a lazy, easy score that is mostly an easy pick and takes away from the skill/luck of it. Ultimately it's your choice @Heavyd814life but they tend to always score high.

It's been discussed before. The decision was made to keep remakes in but remasters/rereleases were not. There is still risk in these picks as the remake could be done incredibly poorly (like Secret of Mana https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/secr...)

Square Enix and lazy stuff, who knew? For every good game they release there are like 10 duds.

Heavyd814life wrote:


I agree. And really, how many remakes do we get each year for this to be a problem? Certainly not as many as lazy remasters, which understandably we're not allowed to put on our lists. And a remake isn't always guaranteed to be a high score. A couple of quick examples off the top of my head, that remake of XIII a couple years ago (rocking a 39 on Metacritic), and last year's remake of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl (sitting at a 73 which is on the low side by Nintendo standards). And if remakes were banned, does that go for reboots too (I have Saints Row on my list)? Where is the line drawn?

I thought the FF7 remake was awesome... Just not happy I won't be able to continue since the rest is PS5....
