Diablo 4 and it’s not even close.
Blizzard have absolutely shat the bed.
Yeah, this for me as well. Really, really disappointed.

Tears of the Kingdom. Just a clone of BOTW with minor adjustments and barely any improvements.
It's a DLC for $60. I played 14 hours and got bored of it. BOTW was fun because it was different. This game still has the stupid Shrine system, but more of the same. They really needed to add more actual dungeons.I mean… I have to ask… how much did you actually play? Because the game adds two completely fresh massive areas, and makes substantial changes to the pre-existing one. It also creates entirely new mechanics, which changes both exploration and combat. All of those things add up to more than you’d find in another full price original game. You can spend 40+ hours nowhere near anything from BotW.
But but you can put wheels on a plank of wood and make a car! GOTY!Tears of the Kingdom. Just a clone of BOTW with minor adjustments and barely any improvements.

I liked BOTW, had about 80 hours in it. Was hoping for something more.14 hours barely touches any of it. Sounds like you want a more classic dungeon based Zelda, rather than the open world of both games.
the game's not so much bad as just serious deja vu. you either love the newly added construction mechanics (which you needn't really get into to get through the game) or you don't. otherwise? all you really get is regurgitated breath of the wild with 2 new areas: a small sky area, & a huge, massively ugly underground area, which are, again, mostly optional. & that's basically it...I’m surprised to see so many people say TotK. Honestly I find Zelda games kinda bland but I thought the Zelda fanbase practically worshipped this game. What was disappointing about it?
Hot take: Heavensward is not very good outside a few key moments. I find that FF14 fans often extrapolate a few moments to be indicative of the whole story as having a kind of stockholm syndrome/sunken cost relationship to the characters based upon their personal financial and time investment in the game. Same with stuff like Genshin. People are fine to like what they like, but for me it all feels like fan fiction to me. Amateur writers and their "AND THEN" writing style.Does it really surprise you with their current output with FFXIV Post-Endwalker? Such a poor entry as a mainline FF.
Heavensward was the xpac that took the most risks and had some degree of nuance to it's combat. It's become dumbed down and streamlined over time. Current XIV's issue with vet players is that it is boring to play. What's amusing to me is Endwalker is both it's greatest and worst expansion.Hot take: Heavensward is not very good outside a few key moments.

well they did have another halfassed port this year. ironically, this reminds me that the pixel remasters were quite disappointing. I even bought the premium physical release and they feel pathetically cheapNot exactly a 2023 game
Don't worry, they're working hard to learn from their failures by blaming everyone but themselves; I look forward to learning that TESVI is actually an awesome game because you can spawn 5,000 lettuces inside a log hut and know that they'll still be there hundreds of hours later.Starfield and it's not even close.
BGS needs a kick in the ass. Their outdated methods have gone unchecked for far too long and I fear that even the middling reception of Starfield isn't enough to get them to change their ways.
