I didn't like WOTR and asked for a return and I got it. The combat was incredibly lackluster. :( I was sad about that.

Borderlands 2, I'll wait once it's at 10$..

Tochlight 2.... I was... so disappointed with D3... I think the genre is beyond my interest. :(
 
Since you didn't specify this year......

Borderlands 2
Dishonored
Assassin's Creed 3
Last of Us
God of War: Acension
Tomb Raider
Bioshock Infinite
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2
The Last Guardian (Ha. Ha....if only..)
and Watch Dogs.

Just sayin'.
 
You're WOTR experience, have you played M&B any? If so how did it compare?
Basically WOTR has pretty interesting bow and crossbow mechanics, particularly the reload one that borrows a bit from Gears of War. Melee however is atrocious. It just… feels off. It is clunky and encourages spam clicking instead of picking your shots since blocking is just badly implemented. A lot of people have posted how disappointed they have been with melee combat.

I do like the face plate feature where you can put on your faceplate to remove the crit bonus to being hit in most places in the face but not be able to see 50% of your screen.

Weapons are completely off with spear spamming being OP which basically everyone is now abusing as blocking spear attacks is near impossible and they hit harder than a 2 handed sword even when you're right on top of them.

Horses are bullshit, clunky to manoeuvre and can turn on a hair of a pin at almost no loss of acceleration.

I played a few hours and every single time I stopped playing because the game annoyed the fuck out of me. So I did myself a favour and spoke to steam support and got my money back.

IMO this game needed at least 6 more months of tests.

M&B and this? They simply do not compare at all

Also,

Fortnite
Castle Story (Just got my login stuff today, thanks for introducing me to it through kickstarter Jay.)
And because I'm a sucker for all things Pokemon, B&W 2.

Mechwarrior Online. Borderlands 2 GOTY edition. ... Mmmmmaybe torchlight 2 when it hits $5 but I doubt it.

Still working through my backlog of games though, so no rush on new awesomeness. Guild Wars 2 is probably gonna make that list of owned but unplayed games last a while.

Wow, I will definitely not be buying WOTR based on what you just said. The reason people love M&B is because they nailed the feeling for melee combat with slow giant weapons, and they nailed horseback riding. If you can't do that then the game won't work.
 
Going to agree with Borderlands 2, Bioshock Infinite, Last of Us (though I'll definitely need to see some more gameplay that's not scripted) and of course Mists of Panderia.

Haven't really looked at footage for anything else for this year.
 
I'm only, at this time, planning on getting two of the many games I threw out. Castle Story, because it's already been fully paid for by crowdfunding it, and Borderlands 2, because it's the one game me and the lady can play togther. Plus she pre-ordered that one for us.

My list was more things coming up I'm keeping a close eye on at the moment rather than "I'm definitely going to be buying everything here."

This is especially true of Fortnight.
 
I burnt out hard on the MWO Beta in just under a month and got a refund on my founder's status. I just don't believe the amount of content that they'll be drip feeding will be enough.

Man, I am not looking forward to anything. I'm pretty embittered with video games.

I'm in the same boat as you, man. After being burned pretty hard this year by games I had been looking forward to for quite a while, I'm a lot more cynical now about anything coming out soon.
 
To be honest, the only REAL game I'm REALLY looking forward to is Mount & Blade 2 and that's in 2013.

Le sigh.
 
Rome 2: Total War - Scheduled for Q4 2013. I loved the first Rome and the second one is so much grander in scale.

Dead State - Finally a zombie game that digs deeper than blowing away hordes of zombies.
 
The next couple weeks are going to be some fun. Borderlands 2 comes out tuesday , Torchlight 2 comes out on thursday, and MoP comes out the Tuesday following.

And the best part is, I'm buried under a mountain of homework, so I won't get to play much of any of them :p
