.webp?h=8 "Merry Fistmas!")
My picks:
1. Gothic remake for the indie people -
2. They are here - A good looking alien abduction horror game -
3. Project mist - flying whale and giant monster open world survival horror game -
4. Crimson Desert - Looks good -
5. Dragons Dogma 2 - Seems interesting. Fantasy nerds should enjoy it in the absence of a Witcher sequel.
6. Death Stranding 2 - Kojima has created an interesting universe, I trust he will deliver. I just don't understand it is all. -
7. Empire of the ants - It looks exciting to me. 
-
8. Star wars eclipse - Personally I don't care for the setting, but even I know obviously a star wars title will sell. -
9. Stalker 2 - I believe the hype year is already behind it, but even so a janky modern stalker game should have a strong fanbase. -
10. Black Myth Wukong - Should sell a whole lot in the Chinese market.
Personally I am most excited for They are Here and Empire of the ants.
With my second tier picks being Death Stranding 2 and Stalker 2.
Gothic is on third because I didn't grow up with it but I trust it is at number 1 for some people.
What are you most excited for in 2024?

I'm really looking forward to dragon's dogma 2 since I adored the first one. I had never heard of the ant game until now but that's definitely going on my list.
Other than that, there's not much I'm interested in

Understandable, and yes, ant games always sound so awesome I want more of them where you can fight above the surface and take down insects and animals.
Imagine at the highest levels you become army ants and just flood the jungle.

Although I will say from the blurb that it sounds less like a colony sim than I'd like.
Have you watched Empire of the Desert Ants? It's rad.

I have not but I know enough about ants to know they are cool.
I like leaf cutter and agricultural ants.
I have a theory that ants are getting smarter.
No wait, my theory is that all life on the planet is getting smarter, as all life is forced to adapt to sharing the planet with a smarter species.
So we are going to see the discovery of agriculture among many species in the centuries ahead.

I like your theory! I've actually wondered that myself - in ancient forests, were animals easier to hunt simply because of more limited contact with humans?
I like repletes, the kind of ants found in some colonies that are just living barrels. :D

Honey pot ants!
Yeah those guys are cool.
Also the ants that practice slavery.
The fascinating thing about ants is that if you look at the entire diversity of things ants can do, you pretty much seem too get all the functions you would find in human society.
It's like ants simply haven't yet interacted with and assimilated all the traits of all the ant species of the world, while humans managed too spread at fast enough rates too never diverge into new species sub groups and so retain all deviations and traits.
Maybe what makes humans special is that we have the right mutation rate too keep developing unique traits but also the right intermixing rates for those unique traits too not completely speciate away into a completely separate group.
So instead of Jews becoming a separate high intelligence sub species, or blacks becoming the high athletics sub species, we just keep mixing together the best traits across centuries so all trait fragments are retained within general humanity and always improving over time.
Of course, again an amateur theory.
Jewish lives matter.
