Holidays are here, what new games are you picking up this December? 2024

As a kid, this was the absolute best time of year—getting a new NES, Genesis, or whatever was out, flipping through game flyers in the mail, and checking out reviews in EGM and other magazines.

Trips to the mall were all about gazing at the back covers of games you wished you could afford, hoping your parents might surprise you. I still vividly remember when my mom got me NBA Live 96 for Christmas. It was around 100 CAD, but she made it happen for me.

It’s different now.

As a kid i only got new games on christmas/birthday/etc.

Each event was extremely important and memorable.

Now, my kids have gamepass and fortnight.

They get so much content for free/cheap that none of it actually matters.

They are currently Juice Wrld fans cause they got to dance with a giant version of him on fortnight, just a couple weeks after running around singing Ladi-dadi-dah cause they shot Snoop.

Don’t even know what to buy them for christmas, as fortnight and minecraft already capture’s all of their attention

yall trolling with the infinity nikki jawn.. i never heard of the game. It got a 9 on ign, its free, and some of yall were playing so i said fukk it, lemme be open minded... first of all the game is 30fps on PS5 Pro

second as soon as the little fur ball told me to collect 3 apples I hit the uninstall. I'm good. I could see if it ran like genshin, maybe I'd be OK being a little white witch for a few hours. smfh.

honestly reminded me of hogwarts legacy but without the nostalgia to keep me interested. Yall have fun. I'm playing the free gran turismo game now to refill my testosterone.
