Witcher 3 is a definite release day acquisition for me. Dragon Age might be but I'm not convinced it's going to be worth it. Otherwise it's steam sale year for me.

Though if Creative Assembly's Warhammer Fantasy Battle RTS gets released this year it's something I'll keep an eye out for.

edit: my number 1 "game" for the year is without a doubt the next CK2 dlc short of a disaster of epic proportions

Watch Dogs, Dark Souls II and Witcher 3, though I'll probably wait on both for Steam sales. The Division... maybe. Thief can go fuck itself.

Most of those seem like Steam sales to me.

Rocksmith 2015 is on my list for launch purchases. Rather, it is my list for launch purchases.

Possibly some great multiplayer thing that comes out and f13 adopts it, as I'd want to play in the two week window before everyone drops it.

Dark Souls 2 is really all I care for in 2014. There's room for lots of surprises and I know there's many games I will greatly enjoy, some among those listed before and some totally unexpected and unknown, but the only one I am really, totally, utterly looking forward to is Dark Souls 2.

EDIT: Wasteland 2.

Crap. Gamestar.de has it listed as 2014, but now that you mentioned it I did some independent googling and am unable to come up with a verfication for that. Let's hope for the best.

Surprising noone, DA:I is probably the only automatic pre-order/day 1 buy for me in that image. If M&B 2 actually exists someday it would join the list of course.

Maybe Mad Max, but I don't know enough yet.

Watch Dogs, Destiny and The Division are probably going to be day-one games for me and I've already got Titanfall ordered based on my experience with the beta.

Dark Souls 2 I'll pick up once it gets it's first price drop and Mad Max is a wildcard - I'm curious, but can definitely wait.

DS2 at some point.  I never finished either of the previous games, but I feel it's worth buying to make sure these types of games are still being made.

Watch Dogs looks good, but Uplay.  It's annoying.

Other than that, my list for this year is slim.  I've already purchased DivinityOS, but not really getting into it until it releases.

If someone can convince me that Dark Souls II's PC port is about a million times better than the last one, I'll give it a shot on Steam Sale.  They really shat the last port out and burned their bridge plenty good, though.

DA:I, Tropico 5, and The Sims 4 ( why so serious? ) are the only ones I know I'll be buying immediately this year. I will probably break down and buy Banished before it goes on sale, but we'll see. I keep waffling on it, and I'm not even sure why.

I'm limiting myself to Infamous Second Son, Dark Souls 2, Driveclub, and a couple of indie titles this year.  I have so much shit laying around waiting to be played, it's ridiculous.

It's kind of funny that a game that's on just about everyone's Game of the Year list managed to not make money.

As of July 2013, Bioshock Infinite had sold 4 million copies according to Take Two's financial report. If it was unprofitable, that sounds to me like reason to just remove Levine rather than shitcan the entire studio. Of course, this seems to be an issue with all too many of the big name publishers out there. There's no way a video game should lose money when it sells 4 million fucking copies.

Normally I would agree but this game took 6 years to make. This isn't a fault of the industry or AAA games, it's simply horrendous, jaw-dropping bad project management. Any industry would react the same - 4 million copies is great and all, but not when it cost 6 years and however many millions to make.

The amount of changes and cut content this game saw has it verging into Duke Nukem territory.

No, since it's also releasing for ps3 and xbox 360, although that alone should be setting off alarm bells.

What with the new fangled ability to easily share from the ps4 there have been quite a few twitch streams of people playing Thief who bought from stores/countries that don't care about abiding by the street release date.  It's sounding really bad.  As in not only really bad for oldschool Thief fans but also bad for people like me who thought it would be as good/similar to Dishonored.

Is steam's refund policy still atrocious, even if you just want to cancel a preorder?

As a note twitch also bans you if you stream games that haven't been "officially" released yet.

I don't know when anything happens, but I'll still wait a bit.  I even forget what game is supposed to make me want a PS4.  It's sure as hell not all the games I already own.

Pretty much. The Last of Us was also a story driven AAA game, but only took 3 years or so to make and from the sounds of it had a smaller team. It seems to be a financial success for Naughty Dog and topped a lot of GOTY lists as well.

Free to Play - The Movie. A Valve documentary about DOTA players.

Quote
“Free To Play is a feature-length documentary that follows three professional gamers from around the world as they compete for a million dollar prize in the first Dota 2 International Tournament. In recent years, E Sports has surged in popularity to become one of the most widely-practiced forms of competitive sport today. A million dollar tournament changed the landscape of the gaming world and for those elite players at the top of their craft, nothing would ever be the same again. Produced by Valve, the film documents the challenges and sacrifices required of players to compete at the highest level.”

The gaming industry has totally left me behind.  I'm idlely curious about Witcher 3 and Dragon Age, but couldn't care less about the rest of them.

I feel the opposite at the moment. After suffering through a lack of good new releases the last several months, I'm looking forward to Infamous, Dark Souls 2 and South Park which all come out next month. Further down the road (hopefully) this year I'm keeping an eye on Evolve (from L4D's creators), Dragon Age, Pillars of Eternity, and maybe Destiny, The Divison, or Watch Dogs. Hopefully Hex will be hitting beta at some point. I loved the Fight Night series so I'm curious to see how the upcoming UFC game turns out. Also enjoyed Dead Island so I'm hoping Dying Light will be good. Also just got my keys for the Shadowrun Berlin campaign that launches in a week. I feel like I've got plenty to look forward to right now.

Which is why it was so hilarious reading Scott's (Lum) Facebook comments on the story.  So many devs saying, "See, this is why AAA Games are dead/ dying."

Erm.. run a business like a business and produce or get gone.
