As some one who plays video games almost religiously, I figured I might as well put my two cents in and get on board the hype train.
.
2015 Game releases I'm looking forward too:
.
Metal Gear Solid V: This one not only looks amazing, it might even be a game changer for the industry as a whole.
Call of Duty: Black Ops III: Yes I know I'm going to get a ton of hate for this since admiting you like CoD on the internet these day is akin to admitting you're a Jew in Nazi Germany but I honestly think this Call of Duty looks like it should be a solid game, unlike the mixed response of CoD: Advanced Warfare and the sheer awfulness (and racism) that was CoD: Ghosts.
Halo 5: Guardians: Being a massive Sci-Fi nerd (its "sci-fi", not "SF" you purist motherfuckers!) who was introduced to science fiction video games by the original Halo trilogy and its associated media (which is where all the really good Halo stories are in my opinion) this is pretty much a must by for me. Too bad it lacks split screen though.
Fallout 4: 'Nuff said.
Star Wars: Battlefront: Ditto
.
2016 releases
.
Mirror's Edge Catalyst: Faith's lookin good so far, though its a bit disappointing Rhianna Pratchet isn't returning to write again. Should be interesting to see an FPS game without gunplay.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided: Like Fallout 4, I feel this one needs no explanation.
Mass Effect: Andromeda: ...LOOK AT MY FUCKING NAME!!!
Dishonored 2: First game was solid, if not all that it was promised to be. Like to see how they evolve this one. Also, we can play as Emily now! Yay!
Doom: FIRST PERSON CHAINSAW ACTION MOTHERFUCKERS!!! THE ORIGINAL FPS IS BACK!!!
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: My brother is going to buy this (he's an Uncharted fanboy) but that won't stop me from playing it.
Gears of War 4: Me and my friend did play the original three together, so this one is a must have. Gears of War I find is much more enjoyable all round if you play it co-op.
Titanfall 2: This one has no confirmed release date and could be either a 2016 or 2017 release but the day it comes out, I AM BUYING IT. The first one was one of the few multiplayer shooters I was actually good at (the only other one being Halo) and I really had fun with it. I'm just hoping for an actual story this time 'round.
.
Maybe buys (2015 and 2016)
.
The Division: It looks interesting but I'm always a little skeptical about MMORPGs. That said, if I an get my old gang of gaming buddies back together, I might buy it, as it looks more up my alley than most MMOs. Then again, I thought that about Destiny and while fun, Destiny was rather disappointing.
Halo Wars 2: My Halo fanboy says "yes" but my memories of finding the first one rather "bleh" and my general suckiness at RTS games says "no".
Quantum Break: Looks interesting and has a fairly unique concept with the whole time manipulation, TV tie in thing but I think I'll wait until I see some reviews and the price has gone down a bit before I commit.
Horizon: Zero Dawn: Getting past its ridiculous name, it falls into the same category as Quantum Break; interesting but I'll wait and see.
Space Hulk: Deathwing: I've always like Warhammer 40K but I've always viewed it from afar, never actually buying into the series. I figure this game could be my "in" but I don't know, especially since tie in games aren't always top notch (except the Batman: Arkham games, which are all well done but especially Arkham City. Seriously, play them if you haven't already)
No Man's Sky: I'm going to let my friends (all two of them!) get it before I try it.
Hitman: Ditto
XCOM 2: More "I want it but can't have it" than "I'm on the fence about it". XCOM is an amazing series and I want (nay, need) this game even though I suck at RTS' but its PC, Mac and Linux only and not only is my PC not up to the challenge but I suck whenever I try to play on PC anyway.
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate: I used to love Assassin's Creed but lately the series has been... well sucking ass. If this series fixes things up I'll get. Otherwise, Ubisoft Montreal needs to realize their grinding the series into the ground, not to mention not holding true to one of the original draws of the series, which was historical accuracy, something that is becoming less and less accurate with each game.
