Asking because there’s a TV show coming out soon that I’m excited for, but I’m having flashbacks of all the times I’ve had to wait up to two years for something to come out, often due to delays.

      It’s not much, but an intro for Project Borealis has actually been released! There’s only ~10 minutes of gameplay/content and it doesn’t run great, but the artistic direction looks promising.

    The Winds of Winter? At this point though I’m not sure I’m actually waiting anymore.

      you know what, this is, probably mine also.

      I read all the books that were out before the show was even announced, and didn’t realize that the story wasn’t finished.

      then the show started and I was like oh well, at least they have to finish the novels before the TV show will be fully produced.

      joke was on me.

    I mean there are several things I still look forward to, but the grammar implies things that have already happened. I guess Dwarf Fortress with an actual GUI, so for around about a decade.

      This is a Lemmy comment. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with diorite spikes. On it is an inscription of a human sitting at a computer foaming at the mouth absolutely hyped. This inscription relates to the official release of Dwarf Fortress premium during the Third Age of Strife on the sixth of december in the year 2022. Overall, its prose is masterful and consise.

      Value: 1☼

    Eight years ago Puyo Puyo Tetris got localized. The crossover is a massive step down from past main series games, but it was the first game to get localized since Fever in 2004. I hated it as a game, but I thought that it would be a good sign for the future because its record sales would surely mean the next mainline game would get localized too.

    We never got an actual mainline game. But we’ve been teased over and over instead.

    The next year we got Puyo Puyo Champions, a budget versus mode client that’s pretty much just a romhack of PPT’s engine with assets recycled from the mobile spinoff. It actually fixes all of the problems I had with PPT, the online is fantastic… but it is still nothing more than a bare bones versus mode client. There is no story mode or any other singleplayer content at all, nothing like the fantastic stuff past games were packed with, which makes it a very hard sell for new players.

    Then we got Puyo Puyo Tetris 2. A bugged ctrl-c ctrl-v of the first game. Literally no new content. I already hated the first one and this is even worse in every way. Even the things that Champions fixed are broken again. The fact that this horrible rehash even exists is an insult and I detest it with every fiber of my being. But the worst part is that it split the playerbase from Champions, which basically ended up killing both games in the end.

    Then Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop. The trailer looked like it was finally going to deliver on what I wanted. But they made it exclusive to Apple fucking Arcade. The game is so dead that if you try to play it online, you will simply be matched into bots. Sega knew the exclusivity deal would kill this game and they tried to fake the online to cover it up.

    Eight years of disappointment after disappointment. The IP is long dead, Sega’s just parading its corpse around to tease.

    Silksong 🥲 waiting since 2019, release window in 2023 was cancelled in the last month of the window, no communication since except “we’re still working on it”. Subreddit has gone crazy unlike anything I’ve ever seen, someone from there possibly offed themselves a couple weeks ago due to their shitposting.

    I can’t wait to read history books about it

    A bit silly. I picked up the Holy Mightstone quest item on my WoW paladin in like 2005, and decided to save it to use, someday, to get some RP revenge on Arthas. I held on to it until facing him down I’m WotLKs Icecrown Citadel raid, and used it on our first boss attempt. I want to say that was 7 years but I can’t be arsed to look it up.

    Immediately wiped, of course, but winning was never the point.
