Poll: Now the drought is almost over, what 2015 games are you excited for?

[The Almighty Aardvark]

Another vote for Shadowrun: Hong Kong, out tomorrow!

I keep telling myself that I should be patient and wait for it to go on a sale, but... I came out of Dragonfall immediately wanting to replay it. I'm not sure I'm going to hold out.

None of those on the list really appeal to me, other than Shadowrun I think the only game that I'm looking forwards to this year is Persona 5

 

[Foolery]

I don't get this whole 'drought' thing either. There's far too many good titles being released, or at least a solid handful of ones that are very engaging and stuffed with content. How do people burn through games that fast? I'm still playing Witcher 3. Anyway, Fallout 4. Also Xenoblade X, Star Fox Zero, Pokken Tournament, MGS:V, and Street Fighter V.

A drought of releases, not really of content. There's been so much damn stuff this year to play that the typical July/August drought wasn't really there. I'm still playing Witcher 3 (not even found Ciri yet!) and I haven't even got to Level 20 in Splatoon.

Ah, I see. Gotcha. I usually play the hell outta my current games and backlog before moving on to new stuff. It has been slow for big name releases. I just finished Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, and been getting into a bit of Killing Floor 2.

Well as someone who only owns a Nintendo WiiU, then it has to be none on the list.
The MarioMaker isn't really my thing as I never mod anything (made a few Warcraft III maps but that's all) and am not into Minecraft for example. The games I look forward to are XenobladeChroniclesX and StarFox WiiU.
I haven't really been following if anything else interesting is coming out.

To be honest I'd buy Mario Maker just for the amount of levels it's going to bring alone. There's been so many cool level ideas from just the small amount of people with review copies alone, imagine what it'll be like when it's out. That and the content creator is so far away from 'modding' in terms of difficulty, making a level is 10x easier than even Little Big Planet, it's crazy. Of course if you're not interested in Mario platforming that makes sense, but don't discredit it as a game based entirely around building.

 

[Danbo Jambo]

XCOM 2 & Fallout 4.

XCOM 2 especially. Enemy Within is something I'm still playing none-stop, and to get some more of that is just what I need.

 

[FPLOON]

Tales of Zestiria
Star Fox Zero
Persona 5

If I wasn't going to buy the Collector's Edition of Tales of Zestiria, I would have the system to play it when it comes to the US...

OK this is a good review... Thanks Toastie!
I enjoy mario and I have the original one DL:ed from the Eshop, and is one of the games I always go back to for a 15-20 minute run when I'm bored. Seems like I'll have to have a deep second thought about MM.

 

[Kyle Winston]

I am pretty hyped for Tales of Zesteria this October!

 

[SecondPrize]

Maybe Kingdom Come though I doubt I'll be able to run it well. I actually had to webcrawler a list of upcoming releases and nothing even raised a flutter of excitement.

 

[Longing]

Persona 5 has me fucking stoked.

I've also been waiting what feels like a century for Fallout 4. I've avoided news so far, and I intend to keep it that way. It's going to be a good, good year.

Get the fuck out of my head.

Ahem, but yes, this. Will also probably buy XCOM 2 later, but it will definitely have to wait until after my 90 hours plus Persona play through and my 3 different Fallout 4 completed saves.

I honestly don't know what I'm going I do with two 100 hour games on my plate. Especially when I've waited years for each. I only just beat bloodborne. Oh dear, I'm afraid I'm going to be quite busy.

 

[Ayen Matthews]

I'm pretty damn hyped that SOMA is almost here! And HOLY SHIT FALLOUT 4!!!

Rise, i'm excited for, but also nervous, since a lot of rumors have been going around about it's partial exclusivity and whatnot, so if it's available for the PC on steam, i'm hyped as fuck, but right now i'm reserving my hype until i'm sure my heart won't be broken by some publisher exclusivity bullshit.

Rise is only a Timed Exclusive. PC users will get it a couple of months after its Xbox release date. It's PS4 gamers who have to wait a whole year to be able to play it.

Rise of the Tomb Raider is the one I'm the most hyped for. I enjoyed the reboot immensely, and being a long time Tomb Raider fan, I'm just glad to see Lara Croft be relevant again. I don't have a Xbox One so I'll have to settle for the Xbox 360 port for now. Why on earth it's coming out on the Xbox 360, I don't know, but I'm definitely not going to complain about it.

 

[The Youth Counselor]

Honestly, I just want the last episode of Life is Strange.

 

[TristanBelmont]

I really hope Mad Max turns out good. Mario Maker looks neat.

Sure as heck not gonna spend money on Battlefront 3, not with how EA has ruined it. Halo Guardians doesn't have splitscreen, so that's out.

 

[MHR]

Fallout 4. It's gonna be even better than Skyrim and have guns.

I think people that hate the open-world open-ended genre are just a different type of gamer. Gotta have it fast and have a focused goal all the time, no imagination or stopping to smell the roses. For everyone else, these polished open-world games are amazing.

 

[Coruptin]

Does Rise of the Tomb Raider require uplay on the PC? If so then fuck that noise, even though I enjoyed the first game quite a bit.

Why would it? It has nothing to do with Ubisoft and the only games that force Uplay on you are from them. The original had no DRM besides Steam.

I think the fact that someone mistook Tomb Raider for another Assassin-like Ubisoft game is pretty hilarious and clearly illustrates the problems of the trend chasing attitude of AAA game industry. There's just not enough variety in AAA games for me to get excited about.

 

[PsychicTaco115]

I personally can't wait for Cueball Simulator 2015 to come out

Oops, I mean the new Hitman game... You can see where I got confused

Spoiler

The joke is that he's bald

 

[er910]

Been waiting for Battlefront for a while. Split screen shootting with my son.

 

[Valok]

- First and foremost, XCOM 2.
- Fallout 4 (I'm not however paying the absolutely fucking attrocious price of 250 bucks - yes, fucking really - that they are asking for us here on the south, gonna wait for a 75%+ discount or perhaps some good ol' fashion common FUCKING sense on Bethesda part, and I don't really care on how long it will take, we all know it's gonna be broken at release anyway). Yes, I'm mad.
- MGSV (Fuck Konami though, will also wait for a sale).
- The Witcher 3 Hearts of Stone and Battlefront.

 

[ultrabiome]

I voted for Super Mario Maker, as it will be epically awesome to make some shitty Mario levels, share them with the world and then get shown how it's really done. My body is ready!

Also excited for Fallout 4, XCOM 2 and Doom (4), although I will wait on all of them for a sale - which may mean at least a year to play them. Can always replay the old ones in the meantime , especially as I haven't played Enemy Within yet.
