League Overview:
Welcome to Year 7 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The OpenCritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2025. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Marvel's Wolverine and it gets pushed into 2025, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2024. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2025. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

League Overview:
Welcome to Year 7 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The OpenCritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2025. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Marvel's Wolverine and it gets pushed into 2025, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2024. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2025. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

Ya know what kinda bugs me about Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (specifically the remake)? Normally I have no complaints about games running at 30fps as long as it is consistent and doesn't dip below that. Of course 60fps would be ideal, but I can deal with 30. But this Paper Mario remake was confirmed yesterday to be running at 30, when the original on GameCube was a locked 60. I feel like when you are tasked with remastering or remaking a game, you should aim to match the fps of the source material, or improve upon it if it was sub-60 to start with, but not cut it in half. I know the Switch is old hardware at this point, but it shouldn't be breaking a sweat with this game.

Ewww really? That’s despicable by today’s standards. Hellblade 2 is also making console versions locked to 30fps. Luckily that I’ll just be getting game pass for a month to hit and quit it though so that’s really no love lost but spending $60 on a remake, first of all, only for them to have the original perform better is beyond baffling not to mention frustrating.

I don't know that much about hardware, but I would think that the switch is more powerful than the
and while that doesn't necessarily mean that a remastered game would automatically be a simple thing to capture the same fps, it's surprising to me that it would go from 60 to 30. Personally, as long as there's no lag I don't mind. But still. Surprising to me.

I wouldn’t put it past them. I’m sure they’re already salivating at the idea. They already started flirting with the $70 price tag with Zelda TOTK at launch.

Kicking myself for taking Animal Well off my list. I had it last year but news about release dates was lacking so I decided not to have it. Looking to be like mid to high 80s so far

Animal Well looks pretty good. Had no clue about it until today. It's interesting to me how certain games I know about long in advance but certain games I hear next to nothing about.

The art style (at least of the gameplay I watched) reminds me of Undertale, Celeste, and Omori.
