    I theorise that Valve have created the reverse Valve-Time machine and have travelled into the distant future, spending their time playing Half Life 3 non-stop. They're simply too busy enjoying the masterpiece that it is to come back to the present in order to actually develop it. It's just that good.

    Add Killing Floor 2 to that list! :D I can't wait for that, GTA5, No Mans Sky, and Star Citizen (although 2015 might be optimistic).

    The Downgrade™ is the only Ubisoft game in the list. Good.

    What I'm looking forward to is:
    Battlefield: Hardline
    Evolve
    Mighty No. 9 (kickstarted; I technically already own)
    MGS 5: Phantom Pain & Ground Zeroes
    Killing Floor 2

    I don't have a whole lot of things I look forward too. These days it's all trailers without gameplay getting hype, or broken AAA titles that were clearly rushed or just unoptimized for PC.

    What I DO need to do however is:

    Finish Dragon Age Origins so I can think about Inquisition
    Finish Mass Effect 1, 2 and 3
    Finish Witcher 1 and 2 so I can think about Wild Hunt
    Play more Grid 2, because I like it

    Don't you get it, there won't be no HL3 until Valve figures out how to put microtransactions into it! I did hear a rumor about new L4D game.

    My anticipated games are (not necessary for 2014/2015 years):
    HL3 (d'uh)
    GTA V
    Batman Arkham Knight
    Blitzkrieg 3
    The Witcher 3
    Another game by CD Project Red (something with cyber punk)
    Hotline Miami 2
    Fallout 4
    New Elder Scrolls game

    Nothing else comes to mind.

    Maybe I am just getting old and cranky....but there really isn't anything coming up that i find to be that interesting. I'm a fan of telltale games and GOT, so there is that. Their Borderlands game looks to be well done. But beyond that....just kinda meh. I've never been a huge fan of FPS. A new Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or Witcher would be nice but...i just don't know. I typically look forward to at least one Day 1 new game purchase (last year it was the southpark rpg, which was awesome) but nothing out there now seems to get my attention. :rolleyes:

    I've found I get pickier and pickier as I get older. I know what I like and don't mess around with trying games I am sure I won't enjoy anyway.

    That said I'm kinda looking forward to GTA 5 and The Witcher 3. I could be interested in Dead Island as long as they haven't strayed too much from originals (I loved DI, spent a tons of hours in that game). This holiday season I imagine I will be spending many hours playing Far Cry 4 :D
