Anticipated Games for 2013

[Mo-Nercy]

DmC
SimCity
Tomb Raider
GTAV

And one that no one's mentioned - Yakuza 5.

[Flying Arrow]

My day-ones (PS3):

-Ni no Kuni
-Grand Theft Auto V
-South Park: The Stick of Truth
-Dark Souls II

I also really want to get into SMTIV and more 3DS exclusive RPGs. Thing is, I don't really have the time or desire to devote time to gaming heavily on two pieces of hardware, especially when I've never been big on the actual physical act of handheld gaming.

the last guardian?????????????

the last guardian?????????????

God, I hope it comes out in 2013. It'll be a PS4 launch title at this rate.

[Edge7]

Bioshock Infinite.
end of thread

Well, that and the Last of Us, followed by Ni no Kuni.
I'm excited as hell for Sly 4 as well.

And Lyn thinks she recognizes the tactician, and you can actually in-game-canon it that its the same tactician from Blazing Swords (you can also tell her she's wrong and set it up as a separate tactician if you like), and the two can continue their adventures/friendship (and, if I've read right, even possible romance). That's just awesome.

That is quite awesome. Always held something of a fancy for Lyn back when I was a wee lad of 9 years.

Unfortunately, it doesn't quite work out. The tactician can support any character in the game, and marry any of the opposite gender.

But, apparently, the implementation of the DLC characters prevents them from supporting, blocking them off from romances too. So it's just a massive tease during her chapters (again!), but no further than that.

[Citizen Bleys]

Star Citizen.

When it comes out, I stop playing everything else

That's a 2014 game though, by all accounts.

I think its safe to say its vaporware at this point, at least Versus XIII still gets mentioned from time to time. I think the last news I heard about this game was more people quitting the project.

[Aulayna]

Tomb Raider
The Last of Us
Final Fantasy XIII-3
Bioshock Infinite
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm
The Elder Scrolls Online (though have a feeling this will slip to 2014)

[Loony BoB]

Almost certainly getting
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
SimCity
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII
The Last of Us
Tomb Raider

Am already considering getting
Watch Dogs
Ni No Kuni

Am interested in
Bioshock Infinite
GTA 5
Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel
The Elder Scrolls Online (probably won't get it, though, because FFXIV)
Deadpool

Hoping for
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Final Fantasy Type-0
The Last Guardian

Star Citizen.

When it comes out, I stop playing everything else

"From the makers of Freelancer" - x_x SOLD. 2014-2015, though. Damn.

[Pike]

The Elder Scrolls Online (though have a feeling this will slip to 2014)

I want this because Elder Scrolls

But I also don't want this because LORE, LOL, LET'S MAKE THE ARGONIANS AND DUNMER AND NORDS BEST FRIENDS

[Slothy]

The Last of Us
StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm

In terms of what I know I'll actually be able to afford, add Watch Dogs to this and you basically have my list. If the Last Guardian magically becomes a real thing that gets released then I'll sell a kidney or something to get it (probably not my own).

Already pre-ordered Heart of the Swarm though so I'm rocking out in the Beta now.

[Skyblade]

I have to say, I'm not looking forward to Heart of the Swarm at all. I've basically given up on Blizzard at this point. Too much junk from them lately.

Care to elaborate? I only ask because putting aside WOW and it's expansions, they've released two games in almost ten years. Granted, by all accounts Diablo 3 was terrible, and while I haven't played it, I can understand why from much of the criticism it got. But I did enjoy Wings of Liberty, even if some of the online bits they implemented (or perhaps more accurately, cut) irk me a bit. And from what I've played of the HotS beta so far, it's a delightful breath of fresh air after a couple of years of WoL. Like the jump from Starcraft to Brood War kind of delightful. I have no real complaints with it so far. They even added in some sorely needed UI improvements that probably should have been in the first game.
