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

[Hyrist]

Given the fact that I'm older and my freetime tends to be taken up between relationships and FFXIV as my MMO of choice. I seem to be leaning towards games of a more retro style with less of a time dedication required to gather enjoyment.

That said, the game I'm excited the most for would have to be XCOM 2, as that game always seems highly engaging to me. Sadly, haven't spent as much time as I like with my current XCOM:Enemy Within game so there may be some delay before I purchase the sequel.

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

Don't jinx it. It reminds me of "Oblivion with guns". I immediately wonder if Obsidian is going to make New Orleans (or something).

Wasn't Point Lookout a Louisiana bayou?

Unless your profession is video game review, I don't understand "video game drought".
A lifestyle of buying a £60 game and burning through it, to then play another game does not appeal to me at all.
The games I play now have existed for a long time. They satisfy me.

+Shadowrun Returns: Hong Kong (already installed, but I'm...hesitant because of existing hardware issues on my machine)
-SPAZ 2 (maybe; possibly...probably not this year)
-Terraria: Otherworld (also as "maybe" as SPAZ 2)

Hilariously, I have come into possession of an Xbone (not by my choice), so I may get Halo 5 for the pure irony of it.
On the other hand, it might just be better to sell the damn thing because I cannot think of a single reason to own one (it's currently serving as a Blu-Ray player; that's it).

EDIT: Also, XCOM 2. But again, computer issues makes me hesitate until later this year.

XCOM2 first and foremost
Then Fallout 4.

I'll also be getting MGSV in the meantime to keep me busy. Plus Tomb Raider when that comes out for PC.

Will be skipping Battlefront's release because fuck you EA and Dice for screwing with fans by not including critical gameplay modes and scrapping the singleplayer.

If it has any good reviews, I *might* one day get it on a sale.

I'm still waiting to play Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4, and the ps4 version of GTA5, so the 2015 games I'm looking forward to playing, some time in 2016 or possibly 2017 when they're cheap and their respective GOTY editions are old news, are The Witcher, MGS5 and Fallout 4.

Literally nothing on that list interests me. I know everyone is crapping their pants over fallout 4 but i've never liked the fallout games they're just not very fun it's unbeliveably dreary and depressing to slog through the wasteland where everything is trying to kill you irradiate you or just people being generally shitty to everyone especially you.

I am pants crappingly excited however about DOOM. that looks like a metric fuck-ton of fun and way more smash and bash than i could have hoped for. no more survival horror just an in your face explosionfest of fighting demons and double barreled shotgun fueled rampages. that's what i love about games. I love that feeling of opening a big bey door ans seeing wave after wave of big bads running towards you and just thinking "It's go time!!! let's do this!" and DOOM looks like exactly that. visceral, bloody, and breaking-spines-with-my-bare-hands fun.

Shadowrun Hong Kong. Comes out tomorrow, and I am sure as shit looking forward to it.

I'm having trouble deciding what my first run through will be. The new Decker stuff looks wiz but they upped the Mage stuff as well.

 

[silasbufu]

Fallout 4 I CAN"T WAIT!!!!! Also Sword Coast Legends, I'm going to play it with a friend so that will make it even cooler

 

[GrumbleGrump]

XCOM 2 for sure. Less so for Phantom Pain. A little bit for Fallout 4, mostly because it doesn't look like absolute grimy shit now. All the other stuff is take or leave.

Except Halo, that's just leave.
