I believe they're still working on the animations for it but it does sound like they've been trying since their reveals to pro-actively work on things they got dinged on.
First person messes with my brain a lot, I can play them, but on PC I get kind of motion sick a lot from it and have to change the field of view. 3rd person is a huge preference for me as well!
It really seems that way! Just keep in mind it'll be early access when it launches so it'll be a little bit rougher. Just hopefully it won't take that long from there.
New arc line and greedfall look awesome! Will keep an eye on those. Unfortunately I will likely only have time for a few of games, those will be dragon age the veil guard, Indiana Jones, and the campaign of black ops 6.
In DAI, u can get away with only doing the companion/campaign quests, and closing rifts/setting up camps. if u use mods u can do even less than that. I was worried about DA4 before the trailer drop and info dump, but i am really excited for it now. the gameplay reveal was the most encouraging. im also looking forward to greedfall 2, and am glad to hear they tweaked the combat. the city in the last game looks like the city in arcane. definitely interested.
Greedfall - I'm pretty excited for this one! I liked the last one, but I also like the gameplay moves. A bit sad that it's a prequel sequel though. Avowed - I'm pumped for this! I saw the trailer last year and it just seems so up my alley. Obsidian also hasn't had a quality drop, and has been pretty consistent with continuing to produce high quality games. I do wish romance (not necessarily seggs) was possible because they do so many awesome characters in their games and I want to to live to protect some of them, like in Tyranny. DA:TV - Trying to keep my expectations low. There are some things I like and that give me hope, but knowing how rough development has been, the changes around it, I just don't have confidence. I will buy it. I will play it. I hope it blows my expectations out of the water. Hell, I liked Andromeda - I'm not hard to please. KCD2 - I'm more excited for my partner than for me. My partner loves it as a huge history nerd. The gameplay isn't really my thing, though I like to watch him play (similar to Witcher 3 for me). I have total confidence this will be an absolute banger. New Arc Line - my first time hearing of it, but you've got my interest. I basically play every CRP, so I'd probably play it anyway, but it also reminds me a bit of Fable II from what we see (thematically) which doesn't upset me at all.
Comments like these are exactly why I like making these videos! Was awesome reading your thoughts on each of the games! Greedfall - agreed on the prequel because it puts a cap on the story. You'll know where it's going. Avowed - I'm less familiar with most of Obsidian's catalog than most (something I'm aiming to fix) but I'm still really excited about this and interesting seeing them take an existing IP/World and shift the perspective not just by calling it "Pillars of Eternity 3" but giving a new name and everything. I do agree on the romance aspect because it always worries me "where did they cut the story?" Especially when they've said they weren't confident they can do it well. But if the companions are still sufficiently deep, that works for me! DA:TV - the main thing that has me concerned is how much torment this game went through and the layoffs it suffered as it finished up. I'm hopeful it will blow away my moderate expectations and I'm cautiously optimistic that some of those changes like dropping live-service multiplayer, will make a better game in the end. And Andromeda is a good friend of mine's favorite Mass Effect so you're not alone! KCD2: That's awesome to hear! It's a bit tough to get into with its depth but its a great RPG (the first one) so I hope your partner will really enjoy it. And you'll get to see the story still! New Arc Line - I hadn't connected it to Fable till you pointed it out and your dead on with Fable 2 and even Fable 3. Also got some Fallout-esque vibes from some of the trailers. It's one of the newcomers on the list that I'm super excited about.
It is weird still being Henry in KC2 though. Like how is the skill progression going to work since Henry was pretty much badass at the end of the first game? I ADORE Henry but maybe he should have been like your best mate or something. I am sure they find a way to make the progression system good regardless, but it kind of reminds me of Deus Ex in like how does he go back to being a nobody again and have to learn everything again? Still, this is the game I am most stoked about on this list.
Greatly appreciate your DA overview. I've been a fan since the release of DA:O in 2009 ... and, for me, The Veilguard looks like it might be the best in the series. Seriously looking forward to playing it.
Me too! The more I hear about it the more interested I am. FF 10 is such a great game imo to take inspiration from for the leveling system. When they say "Fall 2024" I'm hoping its more like October than November but either way the end of this year is going to be *busy* for RPGs!
KCD2 is the onlynone Im looking forward too.. Im the biggest Dragon Age fan, but theyve completely ruineed it, and Bioware is now officially dead to me. They seem to be targeting girl gamers who place romance above all, and zoomers with low attention span. (If you believe an EA game wont over monetize it, I have a bridge in Baltimore to sell you) Spiders is too janky for me, so Greedfall was never for me. Loved Pillars of Eternity, and WAS excited for Avowed, until we saw it... they seem to have simplified the heck out of it.. Not having romance is a massive plus imo.. Romance is ruining rpgs, and rarely done well
Will say, i’m of those who wasn’t impressed by Veilguard gameplay reveal, it look way dumbed down. And i have been critical of BioWare for awhile now, still, i have not totally written it off yet, ut will await for reviews
Waiting for release is a good call. As soon as I can I'll get my hands on it and give an honest review but even then it's really going to come down to personal opinion on mechanics. DA has been a polarizing series ever since they changed from DA:O to DA2. And worst case - Games tend to have sales within a few months of launch, so if you can wait you can probably pick it up cheaper.
The first Greedfall was really great, but I just couldn't get through it lol. Hope they've ironed out the reward-center distribution this time. Avowed looks amazing. Dragon Age I am hesitant about... looks like it's going to royally WOKE. Kingdom Come is the BOSS here, imo! If they improve on everything that already was awesome, then I am a happy camper and some sickleave is happening at work lol! Want some awesome recent RPG check out Dread Delusion and Banishers: Ghosts of the New Eden. One big thing that I am a sucker for - that has been sadly neglected in recent RPGs - is LORE... Please bring that back peepz!
so when you say you're worried it's going to be "royally woke"? Dragon Age, as a series, has always had representation, its a key part of the entire series. From the moment media outlets complained about Zevran in the first game and that you could romance him as a male character. There's nothing different here and I'm not exactly sure what the issue is in the first place. Complaints about lack of companion control I can understand, concerns about combat, I get. Concerns about there being representation in the game? it's just weird. Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding the use of the term here because it gets use way too much in weird creepy ways, often homophobic/transphobic, racist or misogynistic ways. It's become a catchall for some unnamed grievances toward gaming in general for some without understanding the context or usage of the term I believe. Here's hoping I'm just misunderstanding your use of the term and its not being used to insinuate that representation in gaming of the gamers who play games is bad.
Bloodlines 2 has been up in the air for a while but I think they may have now confirmed fall 2024 yeah. Might end up being very good. Stalker 2 september 5th, 2024. Once summer is over, shit's going to get BUSY!
Probably unfortunately. Most games seem tl require it even if they're on another platform like stream. It's like rockstar and all the others. It's so annoying.
I knew most of the games and they are...meh...for me. Besides Avowed maybe. But New Arc Lines...that's a game i am really looking fowrard to. The video and universe looks extremely promising. Reminds me of Arcanum (if this is known enough here :)). And i LOVED Arcanum... :D
If rumors are true...Avowed may be delayed to early 2025 as well due to the business of the Fall release slate for games. Nothing official yet, just rumors.
? You can play as a female in most of these games as the main character is customizable plus you can't know the companions ain't good in games that ain't out yet you don't have enough Info not to be rude but this comment makes no sense
@@RedbeardflynnRollsAOne Yep, Greedfall is also choice, just like the first game. From the steam store, "Create your own character and find allies to join your team. Help them with their quests, uncover their secrets and make them your friends, rivals or even lovers." The only one without a customizable character is Kingdom Come, but much like the Witcher, you are a set person. In some ways, it's a pretty different type of RPG from the others because of this. Also, since it is heavy on the historical accuracy, it would be a weird choice for Henry to be a gal. There are some cool women in it, they just are not the hero.
It's actually not nearly as bad as it initially seemed. There's still going to be control just a lot less then previous games. From the sound of it you'll be able to direct them in who to attack and how by pausing. The more I've learned of the game the more excited I am
How was it not an rpg?! Its one of the few games that actually are an rpg, in a sea of games slapping on an rpg label.. Your character had to grow, and learn.. The only place it was lacking was in choice/consequence.. It was a focused linear narrative, but absolutely an rpg.
I don't get Kingdom Come Deliverance...I tried the first one and was bored to tears! Give me the worst medieval fantasy game with magic over that any day of the week! :(
After seeing the actual combat footage, I also feel that it might not be a very good RPG game. But it's also possible that the player was just bad at it. Overall, the combat doesn't seem very interesting.
Hearing someone say Dragon age is more about the story and companions is wild. I only ever invested because the game (story and combat) was great. Seeing how they've butchered the combat I don't see how anyone wants this game. A movie, TV show or comic, he'll yeah idc. But this as a game? I think they might as well drop the combat all together and make it a tales of series at this point. Since yall like story so much lol.
What in particular did you like about the combat in DA2 and DA:I? I get the differences from DA:O but that's been well over a decade at this point since they started shifting away.
Learning that Avowed is getting a third person mode definitely raises my excitement for it a good bit.
I believe they're still working on the animations for it but it does sound like they've been trying since their reveals to pro-actively work on things they got dinged on.

Greedfall 2 is about to scratch an itch I've needed forever
I'm level 33 on greedfall 1 and I'm loving it. Such a hidden gem and when I heard the combat updates on Greedfall 2, OMG...
Ah that one on ur like lower shoulder blade am i right? Lol
I loved the original Greedfall, so looking forward to the sequel. Also excited for Dragon Age Veilguard.
It's a good time to be a fan of rpgs!
"Kingdom Come II: Deliverance"
*Dueling Banjos begins to play...*
😳
Never thought we'd ever get to see a KCD 2! Absolutely excited to watch Henry and Han's budding bromance!
Love the Emotional Support Pickle!! I now want one! :) Great Video! Looking forward to a lot of these. I definitely want to check out New Arc Line!
Haha it's great and I'm glad you liked it! New Arc Line is looking really interesting. A good setting to explore.
This is really good for such a small channel. Happy to come across you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Very nice to meet you!
Super excited for another Greedfall!!!!
And it is like DAO?! 🎉❤🎉
Lesser combat and very talky ya
ALL us good ole gamers (56) here been dying for a DAO remaster and looks like Greedfall 2 is going to fill that need. Amazing. Didn't predict that.
It really seems that way! Just keep in mind it'll be early access when it launches so it'll be a little bit rougher. Just hopefully it won't take that long from there.
Never heard of new arc line, looks awesome!!!
Right!? I hope it somewhat coincides with the Arcane season 2 release. This fall is gonna be great.
Well guess i need to finally finish greedfall. Fantastic game
Had no idea a Greedfall sequel is coming out - so excited!
Right? I'm excited to see what we get
New arc line and greedfall look awesome! Will keep an eye on those. Unfortunately I will likely only have time for a few of games, those will be dragon age the veil guard, Indiana Jones, and the campaign of black ops 6.
They all might be coming out around the same time too...it's going to be a busy end of the year! I need to start getting my PTO requests in...
I probably have no interest in half of these games. But I said that about Baldurs Gate 3 and now that’s one of my favourite games of all time
Sometimes those are the best games. The ones you didnt think you'd like or didn't know about and then you get shocked with a gem.
Kingdom Come II: Deliverance will be The game of the year.

May I make a suggestion for one you may have missed:
Metaphor: ReFantazio
I've heard the name a few times! Will have to take a look. Thank you for suggesting it.
Dragon Age The Veilguard, looks amazing. I want to play it
Soooooon.
I wonder if Dragon Age: Veilguard will require EA App. Not too exciting considering can't get DAI to open in 2024 because of the stupid EA launcher.
Probably unfortunately. Most games seem tl require it even if they're on another platform like stream. It's like rockstar and all the others. It's so annoying.
You do not consider exodus as one of the best upcoming RPGs?
It won't be in 2024 so it'd be ineligible for this video. Same with Witcher 4 and others.

They're aiming much lower with Dragon Age and as a result your expectations should match. Same with Avowed.
Dragon Age looks and sounds amazing…
What dose aiming low mean.
Dragon Age looks anything but amazing tbh
What don't you like about it?
Nah… it looks great!
