if you like quests than eso is great. not the first main story but a lot of the other quests.
many nice side quests too.

but its really too easy since everything is synched... like braindead easy

For a big online game, I'll likely play War Within. Looks pretty good and Dawntrail scratched zero itches so I actually don't mind playing another MMO in rapid succession.

WoW is a little too sweaty even for me at times in recent years as I like pushing M+, but the wheelbarrow of proper content will be fun and and I greatly appreciate the full fat, inspired design on the healers. Will never get over how silly the phony healing role they're trying to pass off in XIV is.

I'm eyeing it too but I'm gonna wait a while until.i buy it. But god I hope delves scratch the same itch old mythic+ gave me, new mythic+ is a little too try hard but legion mythic+ was so good. I hope we get legion style mythic+ difficulty in delves or mage tower like design.
The map design is cool too the idea that instead of travelling horizontal across the map to other zones you actually fly vertically down or up to travel to different zones sounds so cool.

Mario Kart 8 is just such a fun game to pick up and play.

Overwatch 2
The Sims 4
Stardew Valley
Animal Crossing

I'm thinking about buying Fields of Mistria because it looks awesome but I kinda wanna wait until it's fully released or maybe developed more but we'll see.

I played WoW for many, many years but I'm never going back after moving to FFXIV. I just can't stand all the time gates and limited time items, FFXIV is just so much better in that regard.

Having a blast with WoW: TWW and DQ X, while slow regrinding Code Geass Lost Stories on the JP servers since global is shutting down.

Silently praying to god that Gundam Breaker 4 is a good as the old Vita GB3 then that will take up a little of my time too.

This is just blatantly wrong lol. GW2 writing and story telling isn't great, that I will give you. But comparing it to and saying its even worse than Dawntrail is hilarious and makes me think you are def looking at FFXIV through some sort of tinted lens.

How good a story is, technical writing mistakes aside, has always been subjective as even the threads about Dawntrail demonstrate.
The story of GW2's core game isn't exactly great in my opinion but picks up in HoT, peaks in PoF and then falls off again with IBS. I haven't finished SotO yet so won't say anything about that but I liked what I saw in the first half of it. EoD intentionally omitted as I'll admit a lot of my views on that expansion are tinted by the series veteran's disappointment of it just not feeling like Factions' Cantha even if it is hundreds of years later.

I also wouldn't say the story is as bad as Dawntrail's MSQ at any point but that might just be recency bias.

I’m waiting for MH Wilds ; my husband and I spent more than 3000 hours playing together on World/Iceborn, so we are hyped!

SH2 remaster is in my radar too, I loved this game on ps2 when I was a teenager.

I’m currently playing, depending on the way I feel:
Genshin impact
Honkai Starrail
Rise of the Ronin
Elden Ring
BG 3

I'm holding on for Kingdom Come 2. There's nothing else that I'm honestly looking forward to.

Might try BG3's newest patch and latest Enshrouded update. I might hate-play SW:Outlaws for a laugh (depending on the drm, lol).
