What seems to be part of my yearly transitional ritual now is posting a thread about the most anticipated games in the coming year. Thanks for being here. I know it's a meme to say that 2016 was a pretty shitty year, and yeah, it was in some regards, but this year was another pretty great year for games in my opinion. A new Fire Emblem, Nintendo Switch announced, two legendary status games came out (The Last Guardian and FFVX), Battlefield 1 was pretty stable at launch and it seems they finally came together with something extremely fun, Red Dead Redemption 2 was announced, a lot of VR stuff came out, and generally a lot of other cool things too I imagine. Regardless how this year was for gaming, I hope everyone here had at least a decent 2016. It was a hard year, but we made it through as (hopefully) better people. Here's to a better 2017. So, what are you looking forward to in 2017? [spoiler=My list for the stuff I'm excited for, in no particular order]Valkyria Revolution - Loved the first one, really excited to see what this one brings. Resident Evil 7 - I'm really hoping this reinvigorates the series again. I've never really played too many of them, but I'd like to this game succeed. Horizon: Zero Dawn - I was curious mostly because it's a FPS developer making something outside of what they've done before. The art direction in this looks gorgeous and I hope that game itself is just as good. Ghost Recon: Wildlands - I'm more so curious about this game rather than excited. Watch Dogs 2 was pretty good, but it's still Ubisoft. Persona 5 - While I've yet to finish 4 (yes, roast me all you want), it seems this game will contain the same extremely stylish aesthetic of 4 that made it one of my favorite RPGs of all time. Breath of the Wild - A more open-world Zelda? Hell yeah. Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Granted they actually release it this year. Red Dead Redemption 2 - Since the first game is a modern classic and a masterpiece in gaming, there's no way I'm missing out on this one. Elite: Dangerous - While I'm not 100% sure it's coming out in 2017, this looks like what No Man's Sky should have been. Hopefully they don't fall prey to the same issues that they did. I doubt it, but you can never be too careful. Prey - Never played the others, but this one looks cool. Others that I didn't want to write about: Days Gone Absolver Shadow Warrior 2 Nioh For Honor Gravity Rush 2 Doesn't seem like too many Nintendo games, but I imagine they'll be more to be excited about soon. I'm sure I'm missing games here. Please enlighten me on the ones I'm missing.

Here we are. Again. Thanks for being here. What are all'y'all hyped for in 2016? [spoiler=Some games that I'd like to play, in no particular order] Kingdom Come: Deliverance (the game I'm most excited for) Darkest Dungeon Zelda Wii U... or whatever it's called. The Division (still worried about this game) Persona 5 Hyper Light Drifter No Man's Sky Horizon: Zero Dawn The Last Guardian Far Cry: Primal The Witness Twilight Princess HD Remake Broforce (PS4 Release) FE: Fates ... There's quite a few more, but these are the highlights. Plus I might have forgotten some. May not be as exciting as this year, but there's still some pretty cool looking games coming. I'm hyped, man.
