Variously from the last few years: Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy, God of War Ragnarok, Elden Ring. Red Dead 2 in 2018. Atomic Heart was promoted like a banger but I bounced off of it. Starfield is coming soon, as is the new Legend of Zelda.

I suspect you might just prefer old games!

Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy are probably two bangers I recognize, but all the rest never caught my attention.

Cyberpunk did, but I relegated it to the No Man's Sky category and never have any intention of buying it. Goodwill is a thing and losing it can permanently tarnish your reputation.

Both Cyberpunk and (especially) No Man's Sky have improved significantly from how they were at launch. It might be worth looking into their current iterations if you were interested before but disappointed.

NMS definitely, Cyberpunk... eh.

Still pretty buggy, though there is talk of expansions due out later this year and that hold promise for improvements and patching.

I think I basically settled on the idea that if a company is willing to do that to customers, I'm not interested in being one of theirs, ever. That's probably too harsh, but life is rich and there are other options.

Kingdom Come Deliverance came out in 2018, too and is a very good (and unique) game if you can get into it

Maybe E3 found out Warhorse is not ready yet to announce KCD 2 so they decided it's not worth it to organize the whole thing
