ampersandrew ( @ampersandrew@kbin.social ) 12•9 months agoIt’s been a damn good summer for fighting games too, and arguably the best year for all of video games. I’ve still got probably 10 hours to go in Baldur’s Gate 3, haven’t touched Starfield or Phantom Liberty yet, and I’m also looking forward to Broken Roads. There’s not enough time to get to all this good stuff, and there’s still Wargroove 2 coming in a week and a half.

That is a very bold claim.

Ashtear ( @Ashtear@lemm.ee ) 8•9 months ago1998 was such a monster year because it spawned so many big franchises, including two that were arguably the genesis of e-sports. It’ll be a while before we know how 2023 measures up in that regard, although there’s not much new stuff this year that might have legs. Hi-Fi Rush and Starfield, maybe?
I’ve been thinking for a while that this is probably already the best year since 1998 though.
