[@josephzemanek3953]

In terms of RPGs, I am very excited to play Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader. It's from Owlcat, the team who made the Pathfinder games. From the trailers and developer updates released so far, they have perfected the atmosphere of 40k. I'm surprised it's taken this long for a big RPG in the setting to release, but damn, I am excited!

[@mosesdouglas4325]

Added to Steam Wishlist ty for the information

[@kenny3179]

i hate the combat system that developer uses, its such a shame we finally get a decent budgest 40k rpg and its by owlcat of all choices we had.

[@kenny3179]

if only larian studios made it instead.

[@SirCanuckelhead]

@kenny3179 You do know the combat systems used in the owlcat video games were not made by them right? It is based off pathfinder table top games. I have some bad news for you if you were excited for the new larien game because it is balders gate 3 which is based off the d&d table top game. Which “funny” enough is the base of pathfinder. So BG 3 will be closer to PF then rogue trader will be.

[@kenny3179]

@@SirCanuckelhead I'm fine with the D&D based combat in itself, it's not the only game that uses it but the modified version that owlcat uses is pretty shit, couple that with the severe lack of any visual flare or innovative use of the environment and their love for making even moving through the map a shitty slog you have to wait and "rest" through multiple times and you can see why I dislike their games. Which is a shame because story and concept wise they are pretty cool.

[@devinmounce1838]

Man sengoku dynasty sounds awesome. Medieval dynasty was a great game, but it felt lacking in combat. I know it wasn’t an action game, but it would have been nice to at least make bandits more prevalent and add swords. People complain about that, but literally they had tons of ways to customize your experience, so if you don’t like those features, just turn it off. It’s crazy you can become a land owner and build this huge town and hunt all the game you want, but people complain having a sword wouldn’t be realistic. What king is going to let some refugee build a fortress and hunt all his stags to extinction?

[@327legoman]

I played medeival dynasty a while ago and while the next one looks better, I did feel like it was a very very early access and never went beyond that,.

[@tommeakin1732]

Wut? Lots of people were saying that swords would be unrealistic? My guess is they're falling for this "um, acktually, swords were really uncommon and only the most wealthy people or nobility had them" thing? Because that's just wrong. I'm pretty obsessed with medieval europe, and swords were hardly rare by any standard. Obviously there's immense variety depending on geography and date, but even in the early medieval period ("dark ages") you didn't have to be part of the nobility to have a sword. By the late medieval period swords are pretty damn affordable for a huge percentage of society.

[@ahmedbounce3053]

I cant wait for sengoku dynasty to try because of the eastern culture this time but i wont be shocked if it will be more than it tells right now

[@devinmounce1838]

@@tommeakin1732 apparently there was some law prohibiting sword use or something like that. I don’t know a whole lot about the period. I know about certain important people, battles, locations, but the nuances of law from region to region are not in my wheel house. If you asked me what kind of foods they ate or how they made certain dyes for clothing or painting, I could answer 7/10 questions correctly. If that makes sense. I am trying to say I know some things but by no means am I am expert.

[@tommeakin1732]

@@devinmounce1838 There are examples of laws like that in certain places over certain spans of time. Just for an example, it doesn't appear to have been uncommon for blades beyond a certain length (pretty much swords) to be illegal to take into many cities, but fine outside. But the big take away is that there's huge variation across place and time. Some people (not accusing you) make it sound like there were singular laws that applied to the entirety of europe for the entire medieval period lol. Also, it's important to note that for much of the period in most places, if you were conscripted to fight in war, you'd be providing much of your own equipment, so you can imagine that logically prevents weapon ownership being banned

[@Highlander77]

Thanks for covering Sea of Stars! I'm looking forward to this game SOOOO much! I absolutely loved The Messenger, and this one has been near the top of my personal most anticipated list since they announced it back in 2020.

[@bjhale]

It looked great, but the second he said who was making it, I was immediately sold. The Messenger is fantastic!

[@ZaphodBeeblebrox-jp5vy]

I'm looking forward to Owlcat's Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader game, hopefully this year. The alpha was really well developed already and the game has huge potential to be an even deeper RPG experience.

[@FlobsterforLobster]

Lies of P had my attention since the first trailer. I’m hoping for more Fable news too. Recently replayed Fable 1 still just as incredible

[@F3N01]

Last I heard about the new Fable, they said they would be "Updating it for modern audiences." which has mostly killed my hype. Just about whenever that's said when they're rebooting a franchise, they're getting rid of what made it special in the first place, so I wont be holding my breath for that anymore.

[@bpmcmanson8701]

Same thing Happened to the Knights of the old republic remake which is why I was glad when I heard it got cancelled. NEVER trust anything that says they are updating it for a modern audience, it always means forced "inclusion" and heaps of wokeness

F.Y.I my mate is a dev for fable and it definitely will not be out in 2023 that's all I'll say. Even 2024 is uncertain.

[@wubbalubbadubdub5867]

Greedfall was suprisingly interesting. The lore and mechanics were pretty good considering the small budget. Looking forward to it

[@Beldaross]

I've been off and on Baldur's Gate 3 early access and every time it's improved so much. I'm so excited for the full release!!

[@RPGchallengeruns]

Can't WAIT to play most of these!! Almost everything on the list is super exciting!

[@Taliehoee]

Looking forward to so many games on this list! An RPG that didn't make the list that I'm also really looking forward to is Granblue Fantasy: Relink.

[@gameranxTV]

👍🏼

[@dwightschrute2822]

Crimson Desert too, didnt make the list but looks promising.

[@therotten6152]

I'm conflicted on Diablo4. I won't even consider looking at it if there's even a hint of anything predatory or p2w, and I'd like it to be good as it was once my favorite franchise....but at the same time, I know if it IS good, far too many are going to forget (at best), forgive (at mid), or even defend (at worst) Activision Blizzard for their 493.5 crimes against gaming in recent years.

[@66bloodmoon]

[@bonanzabrandon6877]

This list is great, but Sea of Stars really hits me in the nostalgia.

[@InMaTeofDeath]

Chained Echoes just recently came out and hits the exact same spot as sea of stars I just finished it yesterday and it was one of the most enjoyable jrpgs I've played in years.

[@SternSupremacy]

That’s the game I’m most excited for tbh. Messenger was an awesome game and this game takes a lot of elements from past rpgs like Chrono Trigger and the timing mechanic from Mario RPG. I’m pumped for that!

[@SternSupremacy]

@@InMaTeofDeath I’m playing that currently. Aside from a few absent QoL implementations, I’m loving Chained Echoes! The music is so good and the combat is *chefs kiss*

[@mosesdouglas4325]

@@InMaTeofDeath how long for CE? it looks amazing

[@InMaTeofDeath]

@@mosesdouglas4325 If you mean when does it come out then you can get it right now, if you mean how long does it take to beat, I've heard from others 30-50 hours but I took my time and had about 95% done and it still took me over 60 hours.

[@ErikLambShank]

A lot of really great looking games coming out! One I would have put on my personal list is Remnant 2. The first Remnant was touted as Dark souls with guns but its so much more than that. an underrated gem in my and many others books.

[@demonintellect9834]

If they could just make boss fights fun 2 might be good. 1 it was just add spam.

[@gagebyers1057]

I can safely say that remnant 2 is better than just about every game on this list

[@johnnyjay6959]

I’m definitely interested to see how Clunky Souls sequel does and how it plays. Look interesting and I liked the first Lords of the Fallen even though the rage mechanic was completely broken.

[@StoveToTheFace]

I really liked Greedfall, definitely looking forward to the second one. Gothic 1 was one of my favorite games back when it came out. The open world looked amazing and lived in. It wasn't just flat with trees like most other games back then.

[@kendobc]

I was surprised how much I liked Greedfall! Was pretty damn good.

[@LambiSheep]

Such an underrated game! I really enjoyed it. I'm hoping new companions are more fleshed out/have more content.

[@RegicideSoV]

Greedfall was terrible, what? Lol

[@StoveToTheFace]

@@RegicideSoV it's ok if you have terrible taste.

[@RJMacReady1]

It was almost great. Definitely a great setting. As many others before they just succumbed to giving the combat that EA/Ubisoft kinda mediocre sheen with very little depth

[@Jahi_144]

To me 2023 looks like one hell of year so many games and dlcs i look forward to. A game that wasn’t on the list but im really excited about is The Plucky Squire, looks very promising and special, cant wait for all of these to come out!

[@CanIHasThisName]

It's a massive improvement over what we've been seeing for that past 2-3 years.

[@rupert2317]

Another game I'm looking forward to on steam this year is Trails into reverie. I've been waiting for so long to play that in pc

[@ravipeiris4388]

Great video. Regarding the fourth installment of Dragon Age, I don't want it come out in 2023 as Baldur's Gate is coming out as well. Let's spread some of that goodness into 2024.

[@mbphilipblack8993]

Wo Long Fallen Dynasty looks great, the story and character customisation from appearance to combat is mad, I'm loving every gameplay trailer we get look's challenging but highly rewarding the learning curve seems fair. The Nioh, Ninja Gaiden and Sekiro influences certainly come through and the graphics/environments look stunning.

[@marimorg7377]

I dunno what to think of it... I'm excited for it and it looks good. But it's cosigned by koiei Tecmo and team ninja have very hit or miss games. Out of all the games on here I argue it DOES look the most interesting but I'm still hesitant to claim that. Every other game on her is mid by comparison tho especially based on their trailers.

[@easye9-21]

I'm excited for all the souls like games coming out this year.

[@NickC_222]

I agree, and I really hope the learning curve isn't too overwhelmingly steep. Nioh 1 was complex, but I could wrap my head around it. Nioh 2 just felt inscrutable at times. Way too much going on, and too much of it felt mandatory for survival, unlike in Nioh 1.

[@Magna_Carta5]

I was watching for the Wu Kong game to come out and when I seen this game I started to doubt my own memory. Both games are confirmed though, lol.

[@mbphilipblack8993]

@@Magna_Carta5 Lol 🤣😂🤣😭 Wu Kong and Wo Long can understand the confusion but Wu Kong is a MONKE hahahaha. Wu Kong looks very interesting and I'm loving the combat and with it coming out in 2024 (the year of the monkey) it's gonna be Siiiiiick easily my most anticipated. But for now definitely STACKED with the likes of SF6, Wo Long, Redfall, Jedi Survivor, AC Mirage, FFXVI and we've just begun.

[@death5talker45]

My most anticipated games over the next couple years are.. Dragon's Dogma 2, Dragon Age Dreadwolf, Gothic Remake, Avowed, Fable Lord's of the Fallen, Hogwarts Legacy and Starfield

[@amberleylievense9036]

Pillars is incredible. Extremely lore and reading heavy though, which can be a plus or minus

[@XyphonXero]

I am really surprised that Eiyuden Chronicles: 100 Heroes did not get a mention here. It is the spiritual successor to Suikoden I & II. It was even made by the original developers of both of these games as a kickstarter project.

[@zanedigriz1999]

Yep. Also note no mention of Suikoden 1&2 remaster. I stayed for the bonus section of the video but only Fable hype which would love to see a remake of the first game or whatever. I wish they would remaster Breath of Fire 1-4, Parasite Eve 1&2 and Xenogears. Too many lackluster rpgs, glitchy stuff, half finished games etc. I enjoyed Greedfall and KCD regardless of glitches and flaws. Also Witcher 3 and Persona 5 Royal. I need quality rpgs...

[@XyphonXero]

@Zane Digriz OH yeah I am waiting for both of those remaster as well but damn a remaster of Breath of Fire 1&2 would be amazing. I'm just having fun with Octopath Traveler 2 atm; It turned out to be a really good game. It definitely scratches that jrpg, turn-based, job classes and sub classes itch.

FF series is the only PS exclusive that bothers me. As I said in another post, I can't complain since PC has the most RPGs, many exclusive (that's why it's why I went PC in the first place), but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it! 😂

[@darthacez]

@@therotten6152 That’s why I bought a PS5 and Gaming PC because I know this would happen. But I am looking forward to FF16 because people behind CBU3- YoshiP, Maehiro and Takai along with Dragon Dogma combat director Ryota Suzuki is making this game and they are taking a year to optimize this game as it was already completed in 2022 but they chose to optimize it instead for this year.

[@therotten6152]

@@darthacez Yeah, I've considered it, but it's not worth it imo for not just the cost tied to one game, but also that I'd use it so infrequently I wouldn't leave it out taking up space, so I'd have to connect it every time I wanted to use it. I'll live. At some point it'll port over, and if it doesn't, well that's what emulators are for. Lol

[@paulvelcea7833]

greedfall one was great, kind of classical and totally unique in style and setting, exited for 2

I maxed out the Early Access for Baldur's Gate 3, and if all the acts are like Act 1 then its going to be amazing

What were some of the features that stood out to you? BG 2 was one of my favorite gaming experiences as a kid

[@imjames29]

@@mollywhoppedsouls_pvp I loved DVOS2 and BG2. It’s like a mix between the 2. But much closer to Divinity. Tons of choices and dice rolls. Everything is voice acted nicely. If you didn’t like Divinity though… it would be hard to like this

Sengoku Dynasty caught my interest. It looks good, and it looks like it would be right up my alley. I hope it eventually comes to console!

I am so, so, so excited for Baldur's Gate 3 to go full access. I've played early access for a while (through several of the patches) and have been pretty impressed with it, especially the depth of the characters we've seen so far. I love that they're not all suck up goodie-goodies and all definitely have ulterior motives they're not revealing just yet. Should make the longer story very interesting as you get deeper. Also, I'm chomping at the bit for DA: Dreadwolf but I want it to be done right so badly. If it means waiting. . .I'm good with that, but damn do I want to know what happens!

[@zanedigriz1999]

I never played 1&2 but know of Baldurs gate due to Faerun DnD. Would love to play 3.

[@CreativeUsernameEh]

“I’m glad they’re not all goodie goodies” well i am not! like that’s what Larian always does. There’s no variety with their moralities: each and every character is a dick. Makes it hard to like the companions. My lack of interest in the current companions is the biggest problem the game has for me

[@zerohbeat]

I tried Lies of P at Gamescom. Even though I waited 3+ hours, it was really worth it. Can't wait for this, Disgaea 7 (just a few more days :D ), The last case of Benedict Fox and Ryza 3.

[@realunicorns]

I cant believe you actually listed gothic, im waiting for that game from the time it was announced and original game is the best RPG i ever played. Love to see ppl actually listing this!

Ys X: Nordics well considering it 35th anniversary only makes sense new revamped ys x should be a big celebration in japan. The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie finally getting it Western released this year and many are looking forward to see this arc finally come to an emotional end (crossbell Trails from Zero and Trails to Azure) & Erebonia (trails of cold steel))

Sooo hyped for star field, not the game it self but the modding community💪🔥 if it's a single player game and had the modding potential of skyrim/fallout.. it could end up as the best space game ever !!

[@gibbleway]

Haha as an older game I was seeing 20-19 wondering when/IF Gothic1 remake would hit lower teens. These games look interesting now, as games are becoming less commercial gimmicks and actual story based quality I'm liking what I'm seeing. Seems like the Japanese adventure action games are helping other developers get confidence the Lies of P game look pretty awesome, rich and well rounded Sengoku sounds interesting, kind of fable like

I'm replaying Dragon Age Inquisition again in hopes that Dreadwolf does come out this year. This is a sin for Dragon Age fans, but I've beaten the game several times, but I never finished the Trespasser DLC which feels like it will be the jumping off point for Dreadwolf.

[@TimelessWorldOfGaming]

On the topic of Final Fantasy, I wish we could get a new FF15 type of game. I really enjoyed the concept of the entire game being a road trip with your bros. I replayed it from the start to just before Altissia almost 15 times last year. On one playthrough I only used chocobos and not the car, that one was a fairly different experience. It was such an amazing and beautiful game with a great concept, but it was just way too damn short. The DLC's added content but it was all post time-skip after the regalia was done.
