Don't really know for sure yet, but it's been assumed by just about erryone that it'll be out sometime this year.

So Stellaris and Bannerlord for me.

Ladykiller in a Bind

(I could also say Stars Beyond Reach, No Man's Sky, and Stellaris, but my expectations for them are "Might never be released," "Spore the FPS: Electric Boogaloo," and "BatteriesDLCs not included." I probably couldn't run No Man's Sky anyways. :P)

In addition to a few mentioned already, I'm optimistic about Stars beyond Reach and Frog Fractions 2.

Of course maybe looking forward to FF2 isn't the right state of mind to be in. The whole point was to be presently surprised when it happened, right?

Indeed. One man project trying to make Elite: Dangerous but more interesting? Haha yeahhh


Oh, btw, I'm not looking forward to any games. I have thousands of hours lost to Paradox so I don't think it's a good idea for me to pick any of theirs up (or Taleworlds, I've lost a few hundred to M&B I even joined a line regiment for a month or so) and everything else is meh.

I didn't know that I was, but it turns out that I was looking forward to Clash Royale.

It's very, very good as a little piece of adrenaline junkyness from a mobile game.

Made by the guys from Clash of Clans, it's a simple lane control game using the characters of the above franchise.

It's also quick, fun, well made, and very good. Enough randomness from the card system to unbreak broken combos, but small enough of a hand to be able to strategically play with it. That probably doesn't make sense until you've played it.

Lane control isn't really the word for it, because you can place your units anywhere within control zones (you get a bigger area to place units in if you take out a tower). It's essentially an open battlefield, but with two choke-points.

I don't really know how to describe why it's good. It sounds great, the matches are quick, you never really feel like you got destroyed due to rock/scissors/paper (although there's an element of it in the game), you feel like you're learning how to play better because it's so simple that you can see your own mistakes and the outcome of them, and it's free to play.

It'll be slow as hell to level-up properly for free, but it's damn good.

If you're in Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Finland or New Zealand, download it now for IOS or Android. We're their soft-launch demographic. It comes out soon for everyone else (March some time).

It really is surprisingly fun and addictive. It might be a bit slow to unlock/level things (I think), but games are quick, fun and furious. It's meant to have proper online play, but even if it's AI-controlled asynchronous, it's done very well (rumours abound).

It's mobile crack. It's got that "just one more game" appeal, it's got an andrenaline high because it's quick to play and decisions and placing of troops do seem to matter, it's free (but rather than a paywall, there's a time-wall, but you don't care because it's fun without the unlocks), and it sounds great. Whoever wondered what electronic crack cocaine would be like, it's like Clash Royale. It's not even unhealthy for you (probably). My first 5/5 review on the Android playStore, because it does good things to your brain, even as a very simple game. I'm addicted, even after one day.

edit: Since it's got a "Hearthstone" style conversation system, you'll probably never know if the rumours are true. Except that it gives responses at appropriate times. And a guild member friendly battle can admit to d/c'ing or giving you the win. And that would be fucking scary. Hmmmm..... I honestly don't mind if it's heavily moderated guild-founder quotes/AI. It's fun enough to play. And I think it probably isn't (hopefully). Considering the esport backing to it. Many people run their mobile devices off home wi-fi for data heavy uses, and this game doesn't have that much of a data overhead anyway (small play area, limited amount of units, simple/deterministic AI, etc). There's no reason it isn't a legit person on the other end of the match, and the game is based around this. It's like wondering if Trump just phoned in the last few years of his job on Hearthstone. He probably didn't, unless he didn't give a shit that particular day.

edit 2: Proper guild multiplayer doubly confirmed. As well as every other bit of multiplayer. Yes, I do just suck sometimes (or win). Join Aus Force, because we, ummm, test shit? And rock.

Dark souls 3 and the new Mount and Blade. Really that's it at the moment. I'd also be for the new monster hunter but It's so hard to make myself use my 3ds nowadays...

Let's see.  In no particular order:
  • Stellaris, naturally. Paradox has lost a bit of the shine they once had in the days of EU1 and 2 for me, but they haven't lost it all yet by any measure.
  • I heard they're releasing a Langrisser for the 3DS, but I also heard it's a bad one, so I'm a bit ambivalent on that.  Watch judiciously, and maybe pick it up someday. 
  • I suppose the rereleases of Pokemon Red and Blue this week for the 3DS Virtual Console are of some significant merit to me, even though I technically could just pull out my old cartridges and GBC if I really wanted to replay them. For fond memories, if nothing else.
  • Torment: Tides of Numenera, if that's actually going to have a 2016 release.  Since I do already own it, I suppose I should boot that up at some point, even though it's an early beta, just to get a feel for how it'll end up eventually being, but I've been distracted of late by two other 2016 games that just released and that I already own, and thus are no longer technically on my list: XCOM 2 and Stardew Valley.  Speaking of Stardew Valley, though...
  • Return to PoPoLoCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale.  Mostly out of curiosity, for the merge of PoPoLoCrois with BokuMono/Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons gameplay.  It's not a must-buy for me, though.
