5 - Dynasty Warriors 9: AKA Mindless One-Man Slaughter Machine - Road Edition.

4 - Soul Calibur 6: With the caveat that it damn well better have a Character Creator mode again. If it doesn't, I don't give a fuck. Also, please, please, please bring back Talim. And Zasa....Zasala...ZZ Top the Scythe Dude. Him. Yes.

3 - Call of Chthulu: Focus Home Interactive, despite having one of the most whitebread company names ever, has been impressing me as of late with their releases. They're decidedly middleware titles, but their output has only been improving over the years. While a lot of people are looking at Vampyr, I'm hoping Call of Chthulu doesn't disappoint because wooo cosmic horror and shit.

2 - Red Dead Redemption 2: Hopefully. I'm not interested in another multiplayer shitshow like GTA Online, and I don't want some Battle Royale crap that has been rumored. I just want an awesome single player campaign. But at the same time, I know Take-Two is gonna want those big bucks, so I'm expecting to be disappointed.

1 - Hitman: Season Two: This hasn't been officially announced, but I need this. Easily the best thing I played in 2016. Make it happen IO Interactive.

Question is, will it have as many 'confused boner' moments as Giger's artwork does?

one can only hope

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Monster Hunter PC, Dark Souls Remastered, and not much else. I tend to play games years after they come out. I'm getting a new gaming PC this year so I'll be playing catch up with games my old PC couldn't handle.

Bannerlord

 

[Red Hood]

Only really interested in RDR2, and honestly I have a backlog of current gen games because I haven't bought a current gen system or upgraded my PC just yet.

The new Call of Cthulhu has a lot of red flags going up- no gameplay footage, and being set on "Darkwater Isle" sounds way too on-the-nose. There's nothing particularly menacing about a name like Arkham, Dunwich, or Innsmouth.

 

[MrTroll]

If FC5 is as packed full of meaningless, repetitive bullshit filler as Assassins Creed Origins is, I'm not interested. RDR2 will probably be delayed again and even if it comes out on time for consoles, the PC will still get fucked, so I'm not that excited for that either. I guess that just leaves Mega Man 11, which I have a weird suspicion will actually be really good, and the System Shock remake, which looks awesome.

 

[Your Weird Fetish]

I pretty much only care about Pillars of Eternity 2. Maybe I'm getting old.

 

[Professor Poopypants]

Kirby Star Allies, Octopath Traveler, SMT 5, Fire Emblem switch, BBCTB if its decently priced

 

[Terror Rism]

dragon ball fighterz dlc characters
mhw pc
whatever zachtronics puts out next
the rest of petscop is technically a videogame
the rest of them

 

[Un Platano]

I'm hoping Bannerlord comes out this year, but then again the beta was supposed to be released 2 years ago and is still nowhere to be seen.

5. Kingdom Hearts 3 - Even though it'll probably get delayed I really can't think of a #5 on my list since I tend to just wait 'til games are almost out to really start paying attention to them. Crossing my fingers the release date announcement at E3 is this year.

4. Monster Hunter World - Waiting for the PC release on this one. I figure it will be easier to find clans to join on PC since it always seems easier to organize groups on the PC rather than consoles.

3. Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology - I've been hankering for a good 3DS JRPG lately and I've heard tons about how good this title is.

2. Stellaris: Apocolypse - I get the feeling this xpac and the 2.0 update will finally get Stellaris to the point it needs to be. It's already a pretty good game now, but hopefully 2.0 will flesh out the good stuff and eliminate the bad stuff that keeps making me drop it for Distant Worlds. I'm getting a little burnt out on how confusing and convoluted mid to late game stuff in DW gets. Either that or I need to actually start on GalCiv 3. Goons hate Stardock's CEO with a passion and it just makes me enjoy that game even more.

1. Trails of Cold Steel 2 - I'm a huge Falcom fanboy. Can't wait to marathon this one and then play through the entirety of Cold Steel and Trailsin the Sky again. Hopefully Trails to Zero will have its fan translation ready to go by then too.

Atelier Lydie & Suelle: While playing the Twiglight arc/Trilogy, I really started to like this series. So of course I'll be looking forward to it.

 

[sasazuka]

I don't know if it's coming out in 2018 as there is still precious little information about its development but, at the end of 2016, Bigben Interactive picked up the rights to Test Drive Unlimited (and perhaps also the Test Drive franchise in general?) to make a new game in the sub-franchise whose last game was in 2011.

It'd be interesting to see if Bigben Interactive could update Test Drive Unlimited to be a serious competitor to the current king of open world racing franchises, Forza Horizon, which I presume will get a fourth installment at the end of 2018. Forza Horizon has relatively compact maps with more detail but I'll admit to liking exploring the more sprawling maps of Test Drive Unlimited 2 even if the scenery was very repetitive with only a few dozen unique buildings per island.

 

[Iodised Ant]

1.Witch and The Hundred Knight 2

2. Ni no Kuni 2

3. Valkyria Chronicles 4

4. Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi striker

5. Edgy God Eater (Code Vein)

 

[c-no]

1. Soul Calibur VI
2. Huniepop 2
3. The Last Night
4. Dark Souls Remaster
5. Monster Hunter World PC

 

[Hummingbird]

I forgot about Huniepop 2.

2. Stellaris: Apocolypse - I get the feeling this xpac and the 2.0 update will finally get Stellaris to the point it needs to be. It's already a pretty good game now, but hopefully 2.0 will flesh out the good stuff and eliminate the bad stuff that keeps making me drop it for Distant Worlds. I'm getting a little burnt out on how confusing and convoluted mid to late game stuff in DW gets. Either that or I need to actually start on GalCiv 3. Goons hate Stardock's CEO with a passion and it just makes me enjoy that game even more.

I have very mixed feelings on this one. Some of the changes sound fantastic, some like huge steps back. I hope you're right.
