Iorveth's of course. Dunno if I can face it again...not like Skyrim which I replayed multiple times, one after the other.

I mainly bought it because it was on sale and I approve of DRM Free games. Never played the first one.

If they make it real open world though, that will be great. It felt a bit linear.

Anyway, I see X: Rebirth is out (if buggy), and Star Citizen is due soon, that looks like it could be good.

So Dragon Age 3 and Witcher 3 are being set back a few months (November for DA3 and Feb 2015 for Witcher 3) and I am RAGE.

But Sims 4, Alien: Isolation, and Assassin's Creed: Unity (I know, I know) are coming out this fall, so I won't be completely bored.

Arkham Knight.

That one's been made by the original studio behind Asylum and City, right? I skipped Arkham Origins because it was said to be a disappointing retread, and was made by a different studio.

I wonder if my wife knows this yet? She is eagerly anticipating both games. I don't think she pre-ordered them but I will advise her to do so.

I think my Wasteland 2 is just about to be released; they just sent me an e-mail a week ago to remind me to double-check my mailing and e-mail address so that I show up in the in-game backer credits correctly and my donation rewards reach me.

Other than that, I am just sitting in limbo until Fallout 4 comes out but that probably won't happen until 2016.

GTA V launches for PC at the end of next month...Finally.

Total War: Atilla

Since the Huns are a playable faction, I'll get this, though I'll probably wait for a sale.

Steam summer sale starts on the 11th. (Cruel irony...it's bloody freezing here...)

Bastards. Yesterday, GTAV was $59.99. Today on the sale, it's 25% off. But 25% off $71.98.

Pfft, waited this long, can wait for the Christmas sale.

After much hype and 2-3 delays, Arkham Knight will be here June 23. I can't wait!

Just watched a Q&A demo of the upcoming M&B II: BannerLord.

https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/15

I cannot wait for this game. I'll pay full price for it. Hell, I'll pre-order it.

And they're hoping to have it out in some form, (open beta or early access) by the end of this year.

M&B: Warband was brilliant, and it was still pretty shit. Mods helped, but the underlying limitations made what could have been incredible into something with unrealised potential.

Looks like they're realising the potential now.

Still waiting for Bannerlord.

But I've pre-ordered my first game ever: Hero-U: Rogue To Redemption.

Made by the creators of the QFG series and the spiritual successor to those games, which I loved.

Supposed to launch end of Q1 this year (ish).

hahahahaha .. that is the definition of a dick move!:roll:

I like the look of two games in particular at the moment (but hell, I've only got to see a trailer to be salivating for the game so it doesn't mean much really) but I'll press on anyway.

There's a recent release called A Plague Tale. Innocence that has caught my eye. It's a straight through linear story set in medieval plague times in which a young lass must shepherd and protect her young brother through the challenging environment (hordes of flesh feasting rats in the main) to ......err....... somewhere, and avoid the clutches of the baddies who are after them. It's a stealth orientated game, and a clear run from one end to the other (which I'm kind of hankering for just a bit at the moment). The story is apparently good and the characters engaging - and visually it looks impressive. I'm in!

Then there is the long awaited Darkborn. This is a sort of Skyrim where instead of being on the 'good' side, you're actually born as one of the so-called baddies of traditional games. You awake as a pup your family having been slaughtered by helmeted soldiers who have taken a fancy to your land, and are gradually shepherded by 'a voice' into full understanding of what has happened and your powers to fight against it. There is an interesting looking trailer with a bit of gameplay thrown in on YouTube that if you're interested might be worth a look see.

Saw a trailer for last year's Call of the Cuthululast night and that looked interesting as well!

Damn - I'm like a kid in a sweet shop here!

Wow, after 9 years of development, M&B II: Bannerlord, is going into closed multi-player beta: https://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/News

Hopefully they will release this game before I die.

Despite my increasing dislike of Minecraft and its clones, I'm very much looking forward to Dragon Quest Builders 2. The first was surprisingly a heap of fun, and kept increasing the challenge until the end. I hope I enjoy this one as much.

The trailers for Ghost of Tsushima have me almost gibbering in anticipation: this is exactly the kind of rich sensory immersive environment that I play games in order to experience. Alas, the game, though apparently near ready for release, is being held back so that it doesn't clash with another big Sony release planned for the summer (I forget which), but might be put out later in the year.

Oh please, please, let it be so.........!

First I've heard of it. Looks like the kind of thing I'd enjoy, but at the moment sounds like it's going to be a PS4 exclusive...no plans announced (yet) to port to PC.

Check out a game called GreedFall Av. Out on September 10 it is coming to PC as well as the consuls and has an interesting look to it. Trouble is I'm a sucker for a good trailer; I'd finish up buying the lot!

That does look good, thanks. Wishlisted.

(I'm still totally addicted to Kenshi...can't stop playing it.)
