Because if you listen closely ( I know this is hard for you) may 17th was it's initial early access release on PC. How about paying a little more attention next time before we go calling out accusations of false info?@@thedarkniosef
Most of Bellular's videos in the last 2 years have had errors like this. He and his editors clearly don't watch the videos themselves to ensure quality standards.
Selaco isnt really a boomer shooter- only in visual style. Theres tons of detail and interactivity with the environment ala Fear, and it plays very fast and hard hitting like brutal doom. Hope it does well.
Brother, Sony just dropped a Hellbomb on the Helldivers 2 community. From May 6th and on, all new HELLDIVERS 2 players on Steam will be required to connect their Steam account to a PlayStation Network account. Current players on Steam will start to see the mandatory login from May 30th and will be required to have linked a Steam and PlayStation Network account by June 4th. This was so badly recieved that for the first time, comments have been disabled on an update page. If that's not telling how bad this is I don't know what will.
Not a new game release, but a new DLC called “The Machine Age” is dropping for Stellaris on May 7th and I’m pretty excited for it. Seems like they are listening to community feedback regarding pricing and content and this one looks to be a big return to form. Hoping the game sees a big resurgence with this release so that devs and publishers understand that simply doing right by the customer always gets the best results.
The original GameCube Paper Mario TTYD seemed to have been running at mostly 60FPS, so I don't understand how the Switch isn't able to do the same. And it does matter when you have guards and parries with precise input windows.
you have made this point several times, a lot publishers don't care how good a game is only how much money it makes. While I agree the statement of big mode is a little provocative I think it fits in the modern ear of half finished games crammed full of mtx.
Poki, the Dev of the Edna and Depoina Adventure Games, is making a new little game to promote his song. The game is called Dünnes Eis and will probably only be available in German. If you like his Games you should check it out, it will be releasing on May 15th.
Paper Mario being 30 fps is a sizable change in my opinion. The older games in that series rely on precisely timed button presses so making this game 30 fps over 60 fps is going to make timing those presses much harder. Yea it won't effect the rest of the game too much outside those moments however those moments riddle the combat in that game which is a core pillar of the game.
Foundry isn't going to break the run of bad decisions simply because of how far removed it is from what we expect from paradox, unless paradox wants to keep diluting their identity
11:15 Songs of Conquest sounds right up my alley, thanks! I probably haven't played any Heroes of Might and Magic games for at least 15 years but man when I was a kid I played Heroes 3 hundreds of hours.
V Rising .. does is still have the annoyance that your castle degrades in real time, so if you want to chill out and take a couple weeks off, you're out of luck?
Quality Control on the editing here wasn't very high. Assuming this was turned over quickly. There were a few incorrect dates and game names, and no timestamps.
One game I’ve been really enjoying is Gigantic Rampage edition. If you like third person arena games and want a completely new experience. I’d recommend it.
This is good content, we do need more video content that tells us about all the note worthy stuff buried under the mountain of indie games in development.
V Rising comes out of early access on May 8th not the 17th. Might have been confused since it released May 17th, 2022 edit: included EA launch date and clarified wording.
I dream of the day we have a Might & Magic RPG in third person, something along the lines of Dragons Dogma, or even Zelda, but heavier on the RPG features like BG3.
A lot of us a really nervous about Homeworld 3. They have a season pass and have put loads of DLC behind a co-op game mode not many seem to be excited for - one they seem to be banking on a lot of people buying into. Their pre-order skin is also tied to this mode. And they have 3 different versions of the game for sale at wildly differing prices. Worrying stuff for what should be a high quality epic space story.
2 games in this list were given the wrong titles (Crow Country and Little Kitty, Big City). You also got the launch date for V Rising wrong. You listed as the 17th, when it's actually launching on the 8th.
Sony bringing requirement to login to PSN with Ghost of Tsushima is a horrible thing for people living in countries that don't have it as you can't easily buy game on Steam or Epic Store
The best heroes of might and magic game bar none is for sure Dark Messiah as it still to this dark afaik has the best first person combat (and sadly what really should not be so ground breaking) mechanics
It's time to remember, paradox aren't devs, they're publishers, it's the devs at fault if the games suck, tho paradox is at fault for publishing the bad games they aren't the ones making the bad games.
Last I heard homewold 3 was a mess. Like selecting/moving units, armor locations etc. I'm a big fan of homeworld but the problems sounded pretty fundamental.
@14:01 Bro as an OG Treky honestly the games are trash garbage as games, the best and arguably only good stand alone Trek game was Legacy back in 06, the mmo was a copy pasta and the last self titled one from just over 10 year..... lets not talk about that. If they can make just a good game, not superb just good well rounded all that then I will still welcome it with open arms. Cause by Treky game standards that is unironically a gem, the preview footage looks ok so here's hoping. Now shut up Wesley! (it's like Tourette's It comes out of nowhere I can't help it I don't even have a reason to say it but I feel compelled..... must of thought about Wheaton for a moment my bad lol )
Legacy isn't even the best Star Trek game in its genre, Bridge Commander was better. There are also plenty of other good Star Trek games: Starfleet Command (1,2,3, pretty much all of them), Armada (again, both of them), Deep Space Nine: Dominion Wars. The Elite force games were also pretty good, even if I wasn't a huge fan of them.

Why claim 17may on vRising? Community Devs saying 8th May why give false information?
Am excited for ghost of tsushima in pc
thanks so much for doing this

"Good things happen to you when you don't pre-order" words to live by.
4:30 This game is called Abiotic Factor on screen, should be called Crow Country
dang he did Crow Country dirty
I was about to come down and comment the same thing haha
5:29 on-screen displays the game as "Little City, Big Kitty", but as shown from the game footage, it shoud be "Little Kitty, Big City".
Most of Bellular's videos in the last 2 years have had errors like this. He and his editors clearly don't watch the videos themselves to ensure quality standards.
V Rising 1.0 releases on May 8th. It released to Early Access May 17th 2022 which is probably where that mixup came from
Selaco isnt really a boomer shooter- only in visual style. Theres tons of detail and interactivity with the environment ala Fear, and it plays very fast and hard hitting like brutal doom.
Hope it does well.

The art in Songs of Conquest looks so good. Wow!

Oh GOD! Finally! Ghost of Tsushima on PC! I thought that project was dead.

Really value these videos, thanks!
"Very Resident Evil"
> Shows SH1 style inventory
Hehe, thats gonna be a grabbooo
I've waited since 2003 for Homeworld 3. The many delays were a bit painful but hopefully worthwhile.
Thanks for the list! I had a fair amount of them wishlisted but crow country was not even on my radar 😁
Stoked for home world 3! Had a blast with the roguelike especially with a friend
Hey Bellular, Do you ever cover new Rhyrhm games??? Have you ever featured Robobeat or Starri in these videos yet?
Foundry isn't going to break the run of bad decisions simply because of how far removed it is from what we expect from paradox, unless paradox wants to keep diluting their identity
11:15 Songs of Conquest sounds right up my alley, thanks! I probably haven't played any Heroes of Might and Magic games for at least 15 years but man when I was a kid I played Heroes 3 hundreds of hours.
The Merchants guild sends their regards.
Selaco hype. The demo is great. Been waiting years on this one 😄
Fabledom has their 1.0 release this month and looks like a lot of fun.
V Rising comes out May 8th not 17th may thats when they launched to early access.
V Rising .. does is still have the annoyance that your castle degrades in real time, so if you want to chill out and take a couple weeks off, you're out of luck?
Quality Control on the editing here wasn't very high. Assuming this was turned over quickly. There were a few incorrect dates and game names, and no timestamps.
Shogun has got me in the mood…but I’ve been in the mood for Ghost since it released. Finally to PC.
One game I’ve been really enjoying is Gigantic Rampage edition. If you like third person arena games and want a completely new experience. I’d recommend it.
I hope they have inDuck Detective an Easter Egg to Gravity Falls.
This is good content, we do need more video content that tells us about all the note worthy stuff buried under the mountain of indie games in development.
Been following Selaco, it is looking great and the demo was fun
Started Indika this morning and it's Walky but interesting, I think it'll be a good memory.
I tried the 1000xRESIST demo. Weird and interesting.
Lorelei and Indica were already on my wishlist from the steamfest.
V Rising comes out of early access on May 8th not the 17th.
Might have been confused since it released May 17th, 2022

I fear the release timing for Hellblade 2 is going to invite many unflattering comparisons to Stellar Blade.
A lot of us a really nervous about Homeworld 3.

Their pre-order skin is also tied to this mode. And they have 3 different versions of the game for sale at wildly differing prices.
Worrying stuff for what should be a high quality epic space story.
If you like Heroes of Might and Magic, Age of Wonders is really good. 4 in particular!
2 games in this list were given the wrong titles (Crow Country and Little Kitty, Big City).
You also got the launch date for V Rising wrong. You listed as the 17th, when it's actually launching on the 8th.
I think you hit everything I'm excited for this month, save one: Vampire Survivors new DLC: Operation Guns ^_^
V Rising date is wrong too, a lot of mistakes this video, dropping the ball a little here...
Sony bringing requirement to login to PSN with Ghost of Tsushima is a horrible thing for people living in countries that don't have it as you can't easily buy game on Steam or Epic Store
People don't love Heroes of Might and Magic, we love Heroes of Might and Magic III, and to a lesser extent II.
Oh dayum, didn’t know V Rising 1.0 is releasing/released
#1 just looks like "Satisfactory" which i highly recommend.
Songs of Conquest is the only one i have any real interest in!
Nine Sols on May 29th
Satisfactory update 1.0 too I hope
Give your editor/producer a little more time. Several title errors, no timestamps, etc...
Hellblade 2 is the best one for this month
Damn why are the first two comments from corn bots
Spoken like a bot... you ain't fooling me buddy
@@mysteryk2283 I’ve been exposed 😭 guess I’ll go back to my internet cave
FrontMission2 remake just came out also
The best heroes of might and magic game bar none is for sure Dark Messiah as it still to this dark afaik has the best first person combat (and sadly what really should not be so ground breaking) mechanics
5:00 lol call it what it is jurno mode
Looks like a battlefield map "used" to look like.
-there fixed it.
It's time to remember, paradox aren't devs, they're publishers, it's the devs at fault if the games suck, tho paradox is at fault for publishing the bad games they aren't the ones making the bad games.
Why does it say V Rising May 17? Isn't it coming out the 8th?
How do you miss Wuthering Waves?
V Rising comes the 8th tho
edited since they have the date different than PC launch, which is May 8th so I stopped watching.
11:14
@@sasusuvisaari7320 Yeah and in there it says it comes the 17th, it comes the 8th, next week
no mention of Nine Sols on the 29th, sad.
Paper Mario ❤
Nothing moving the needle for me, backlog month. Hope people have fun if they want new games
Last I heard homewold 3 was a mess. Like selecting/moving units, armor locations etc. I'm a big fan of homeworld but the problems sounded pretty fundamental.
They did an open beta of their roguelike, where all the issues you pointed were raised. We dont know how when the open beta build is from, though.
3:45 - Publishers generally only try to publish good games.
*3D Realms has entered the chat*
Sad song of conquest was so bad
There are some bangers in June-July!
Which ones are you looking forward to?
Hey hey people....
It literally doesn't matter what game it is, if Ubisoft is involved it's a No from me. That company is just poison to anything it touches.
Love this content?
@14:01 Bro as an OG Treky honestly the games are trash garbage as games, the best and arguably only good stand alone Trek game was Legacy back in 06, the mmo was a copy pasta and the last self titled one from just over 10 year..... lets not talk about that. If they can make just a good game, not superb just good well rounded all that then I will still welcome it with open arms.
Cause by Treky game standards that is unironically a gem, the preview footage looks ok so here's hoping. Now shut up Wesley! (it's like Tourette's It comes out of nowhere I can't help it I don't even have a reason to say it but I feel compelled..... must of thought about Wheaton for a moment my bad lol )

Anything from Paradox? - sorry but not interested
homewold is a gonner it wont do eny good
time stamps bud
first UwU
Lots of errors in this vid
Again, no timestamps. It aint hard.
Survival = avoid
Spoiler alert. Nothing notable in may
Songs of Conquest is a huge deal for the HoMM fan community. Just because it doesn't interest you it doesn't mean it's not interesting to anyone.
