Most Anticipated 2016-2017

-
Here are some games I look forward to both announced and expected.

 Kingdom Hearts III
Of course it's coming out... eventually. Like they're just going to cancel the end of this awesome cash cow. I'm content to wait... that's what KH fans do. The series just fills us with so much hope! (Katara cry)

Final Fantasy XV
Looks really good! This is a system seller... and the anime, CG movie, and gameplay videos are all really appealing.(Edit: Having got my PS4, I have still not invested much time in this one. Funny that.)

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Iga does this genre well. Since there is no more Castlevania, we now call the genre "Igavania".

Shadow Warrior 2
Heard it described as Shadow Warrior + Diablo 2. Sounds fun. (Edit: Got it. It was fun, but grindy. I enjoyed it, but don't see my self doing a replay.)

Saints Row V
Not a peep out of Volition or Deep Silver on this one. Odd... gotta be coming though. Maybe they'll do the No Mans Sky idea right... have space travel and colony building. (Edit: Agents of Mayhem is set in the same universe, releases in August 2017 and is superhero based. Works for me.)

Cyberpunk 2077
Based on the tabletop game Cyberpunk 2020 I love. Speaking of... it may be 2020 by the time it comes out. Whatever. As long as it takes to be great!

Bards Tale IV

Stardew Valley Multiplayer
Planned in a future update... so I got a copy for my kids when it eventually happens.

Injustice 2
I enjoy beating up Superman in as many ways as possible.

Metal Gear Survive ????
Don't look at me like that.... I'm not a traitor! I'm willing to give this a chance... if I can play it solo and it has game play as satisfying as in MSGV.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Not much into Zelda (well... post Link's Awakening), but the previews are promising.

Ace Attorney 6: Spirit of Justice 
September 8! (Full fanboy mode engaged!) This anime cutscene looks amazing! Maya's back!

Ace Attorney Investigations 2
Need more Edgey!

Being a Jaded Gamer

 Seriously? I'm still at the dang publishing company doing droll factory work? Dang it. There was a coworker there who I spoke to early on a bit about tabletop gaming, Pathfinder, D&D, etc. and movies. After discussing the cut Sony got from Spiderman films, which the guy referred to as Disney whining (because they kind of got boned on the deal, at the time anyway) we basically had no meaningful conversation for a little over two years. He randomly gave me a copy of an RPG that was mistakenly returned to our plant and said he was reading about it. The game was Delta Green, essentially a cut-rate Cthulhu Mythos ripoff. Fast forward to about 6 months ago. He asked me if I'd like to play in a game of Delta Green. I decided to do it for a little social interaction. When the group assembled in the backroom of a coffee shop, the members consisted of myself, the GM, and who I'll refer to as the jerk and the block of wood. I was the eldest there, and as usual I took a while to w

People apparently find it therapeutic to share online... but I have such pronounced social anxiety that I see no distinction between online sharing and airing your problems to a crowd in meat-space. I have no illusion-of-anonymity that is so prevalent online. I treat my online self the same as IRL. In other words.... I don't know what I'm doing currently writing this. Perhaps it's purely cathartic. My way of dealing with people has long been governed by two rules: 1.) "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" and 2.) "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." This approach has rendered me very taciturn. Besides that... much of the time... people seem to not know what I'm talking about. I don't mean to come across as a know-it-all, but I do like to learn and share knowledge and I have a big vocabulary. I mean no offense, but I am afraid people may take it as such. I'd rather

Hope is my Power!

It's been 11 years since Kingdom Hearts 2. A long time to be sure. It was 3.5 years between the first game and the second, but they released Chain of Memories in between.... so I didn't mind waiting. Over the next few years they released four spin off titles, then the HD remixes/collections of previous games. I appreciated them. I am looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 3 and seem to be in the minority of those who have not lost hope. Why should I be concerned about this. It's a game! I don't need it! I'm not entitled to it... Nomura and Square-Enix do not owe it to me or anyone. No one is being cheated. Let me express my thoughts in the form of code: IF it is competed and released, THEN I'll be happy to play it.  ELSEIF it is cancelled, THEN I will be disappointed,  ELSE it's none of my concern until one of those happens. I've seen people getting huffy about it. Why? How is not playing this game (or any game) right now going to negatively aff
