Happy New Years! What To Expect Moving Forward!

It's been a pretty damn good year for gaming as 2022 had a bunch of new game releases of both AAA titles and indie games. While quite a handful of those games released in less than favorable conditions, they were mostly fun and engaging in their own rights. We can only hope that 2023 will bring us that same kind of love going forward. In-case you've lived under a rock, 2023 will see many game releases coming up. So as a way to look forward to these great games I'll be showcasing some of the games I'm personally looking forward to seeing and talking about the future of The Middleman's Opinion! 

 New Games of 2023 Showcase

 To kick things off I wanna show all of you my most anticipated game of 2023. It's none other than the remake for one of my most favorite games of the last two decades. That's right, I'm talking about Resident Evil 4: Remake which was revealed a little earlier last year. When I first heard about the remakes for Resident Evil 2 and 3, I knew I needed a remake for Resident Evil 4. 

It will forever be a game I hold near and dear to my heart, being the game that got me into the series as a whole and let's be real.. we all have a crush on Leon. He is the best thing about the games but in all seriousness his personality's ranging from hilarious one liners to being downright serious in tense situations, I'm excited to see how the remake will portray him. You can catch the latest extended gameplay trailer here.

 

I think it's gonna be a wonderful game, I can feel it in my bones. You know what else I'm feeling? The strong urge to.. talk about Hogwarts Legacy... I mean how could I not? It's a fully singleplayer action based open world roleplaying game that takes place in the world of Harry Potter (Pottermore). As long as the game doesn't have launch issues with performance or game breaking bugs.. it may be a contender for GOTY 2023. One can only hope we get the experience we all deserve as consumers. You can view the latest gameplay showcase here.
 

Another entry I am reluctantly excited to see is the release of Cyberpunk 2077's new expansion Phantom Liberty. I think this specific dlc has a chance to actually be really good as long as CDPR learned from their mistakes trying to make a open world game and kept it similar to Deus Ex's game design of open spaces but not a "open world" per se. Regardless I'm hopeful for it and I think you should keep your eyes on it. You can watch it's official trailer #1 here.
 
 
 

What To Expect From The Middleman's Opinion Moving Forward

Moving forward for the new year I wanted to go over what you can expect to see from The Middleman's Opinion. I am going to continue writing articles about gaming news and issues I see within the industry itself. Eventually I plan on doing some written interviews for some of my friends in the hopes the extra exposure will help them out. I'm also spending a lot of time on my new Steam Deck as I plan to write a article on my first impressions, pro's and con's. I'm committed to this hobby and I hope you all have a wonderful new year.

Tron Identity: A Fun Visual Novel That's Too Short

  The Middleman's Opinion Presents: Tron Identity: A Fun Visual Novel That's Too Short   The Good: Tron Identity is a unique noir-style crime investigation game that takes place in the Tron universe. It's a soft-sequel to Tron Legacy in the sense that it takes place sometime after the events of the current movies. Possibly as a prelude to the new Tron movie coming out sometime soon, Tron: Ares.  What makes this game so fun is that the dialogue is crisp and grounded in realism. The conversations truly captures that Tron itch I've been longing for so many years. Not to mention the art-style is nothing short of amazing! It even has some nice lore tid-bits through the in-game codex system.  Overall the story itself is rather good and it even has twists and turns for certain characters that you need to watch out for. My playthrough I only ever killed one person and they were kind of asking for it to be honest. Once you figure out the end game of the story and realize what ac

Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Review! (PS5, No Major Spoilers)

  The Middleman's Opinion Presents: Star Wars: Jedi Survivor Review! (PS5, No Major Spoilers) Performance: Considering the game has had most of its criticism focused on the performance, I decided to discuss this first. It's no shock at this point that a lot of AAA games are releasing in broken PC ports and it's very sad to see. The PC performance leaves a lot to be desired and needs a lot of work. On PS5 however the performance is fairly inconsistent but at the least playable. Most of the time you will be at around 45-50fps, mainly in the open planetary areas such as free roam on your second planet, or in scenes where there's a lot of effects happening at once such as the tutorial levels. EA & Respawn have came out and stated there will be many patches in the coming weeks to fix these issues so it's all we have to go on. In the more linear and smaller more closed off areas run at a steady 60fps without any issues. Fortunately PS5 doesn't seem to suffer from

I'm returning soon! - 3/26/2024

 It's been awhile.. I've been gone for quite awhile. I've been focusing hard on my mental health (and also a bit lazy) so I'm planning on making my return soon. I have a few games I want to do reviews on that I've played recently and do some written guides for as well. I've been playing A LOT of Helldivers 2 recently along with Bloodborne. So expect some guides for those. I've also been playing a lot of the newer releases from this year and will have reviews out for them soon. I'm also playing through a bunch of older games and plan on doing reviews for those as well. Such as the Batman Arkham Trilogy.  I want to talk on some politics in the gaming industry too at some point. Such as Sweet Baby Inc at some point in the near future. Point is, I will be returning here soon. I've already drafted a review of a very recent game, some of you might of heard of it. Tootles!
