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...

According to Steam's recently played list on my profile you can get an idea about what my apparently favorite games are... perhaps the wrong idea in some cases. I present here my top 20 but not necessarily... with caveats. Also note, this is just what Steam has tracked. Fallout 3 No joke, and this doesn't even include all the hours I logged prior to owning it on Steam, which was probably another 200 hours to estimate conservatively. Also does not account for my children's play time. Plants vs. Zombies This one is a shared effort. At one time, the whole family was obsessed with this game. However, we haven't touched it in perhaps years. It'll take a long while before it's eclipsed. Garry's Mod Another family effort, I play it with the kids, and the kids play it on my account. Bethesda's Action/RPG Hits More Fallout and Elder Scrolls... I must like those. True. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance It was my obsession at the beginning of the yea...

Metal Gear Rising... I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin on the mountain side. That was the most satisfying game victory of recent years, and it was hard won. I started the prior battle against Metal Gear Excelsius with 9 health kits and the Armstrong fight with 7. By the end I was at 30% health, having used all of them. Looking forward to the sequel! Making adventure maps for Minecraft has been somewhat harrowing. Perhaps I shouldn't obsess over it so much, but the community of this game is supremely frustrating to say the least. I cannot discern what MC players are looking for. I can say that if it requires paying attention to detail... forget it! I suspect that most MC players go into adventure maps looking for a distraction (or self-promotion, delusions of grandeur "Youtube fame" nonsense). The apparent problem is that MC players expect no depth , so they don't recognize it when it's there. What they expect is an experience from which they derive ...
