I consider myself a pretty avid gamer, though I do limit myself to Xbox One, 360, and some PC. Honestly mostly the consoles and am waiting for a nice PS4 bundle as my first ever PlayStation purchase.

I wanted to make this thread because I know there are genres I do not push attention to: Fighting, sports, racing (with the exception of Forza Horizon &2), etc.

So I don't often buy games at full price anymore, prefer to get used at Amazon.

Anyways:
Destiny, Sept.
Forza Horizon 2, Sept.
Sunset Overdrive, Oct.
Far Cry 4, Nov.
Halo: MCC, Nov.
Witcher 3, Feb.

Games I'll buy discounted:
Dragon Age Inquisition
Shadows of Mordor
Maybe CoD, first one since BO1.

What am I really missing out on? I don't often but season passes etc either, only ever for BF3/4 and Titanfall. Destiny and Forza might get the treatment and IF any extra content to Witcher 3... Though they like to give it for free so that's nice.

Long winded, sorry. TL;DR? What games are you excited for?

Twitcher, Spanish Inquisition and GTA V (PC release). First allows no reasons, the bar's just that much up there. Second - let's see if they can get series out of the pit they've methodically steered it in with nearly everything after DAOU or else I'm done with it. Third - it's GTA, alright? Also, so I can brag of how much prettier and polished it is than "beta-test" release and keep on with my Master Race agenda *cough* I jest, I jest... Nothing more, really, because if these three prove to be even half of what I'm expecting them to be, it'll take enough time.

Destiny

The Last of Us Remastered

Shadow of Mordor

Evolve

Civ Beyond Earth

Golden Abyss and Unit 13 PS Vita (will get them after next payday hahah i know they're not new)

COD Advanced Warfare (yeah i know)

Assassin's Creed Unity

Forza Horizon 2

Far Cry 4

Alien Isolation

Borderlands Pre-Sequel

Sunset Overdrive

Lords of the Fallen

The bigger ones: 

Wolfenstein as it's on sale via Deals with Gold Thursday-Monday so I'll be picking it up (33% off, PvZ is also on sale starting today, but I can't have everything :( )

Destiny

Halo

Sunset Overdrive

GTA V

 

Generally speaking:

Any game I can grab off Games w/Gold for free (picked up Halo SW, Max, and Guacamelee and haven't played any yet).

Any game I come across for cheap and looks interesting (picked up 60 Second Shooter Prime for like $5 a week or two ago and haven't played it yet).

  • Destiny - can't wait to get my hands on the demo
  • Forza Horizon 2
  • Assassin's Creed Unity - picked up Black Flag recently
  • Far Cry 4
  • The Crew

And the games that I'm still playing through on my 360 :P

Well I need to get a Wii U, but...

 

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

Super Smash Bros for 3DS

F1 2014 (When it's announced)

 

Can't think of anything else at present.

Wow Neo that is quite the list you got there....  Nice list of games to keep you busy for awhile...

The game I am most looking forward to is The Last of Us Remastered, despite having already played the SP campaign on the PS3.

 

Other than that, Far Cry 4 (Far Cry 3 was such a surprise of a game I am getting 4 day-one), then a bit further out there is Witcher 3 , Division and The Order I am most looking forward to.

"Thrilled" is such a strong word.

 

I look forward to GTAV for the PC, but that's it.  The last game I played was GTAIV, again on the PC back when it was still pretty new.

 

The one machine I have that could run it (the one I played GTAIV on) is now a full-time VM host, so I'll have to put another one together to play it...so the longer it takes for it to come out, the more I'll be able to put off building that PC.  The next-best PC I have that could handle a decent video card is a Core2Quad machine, but I don't know if the *CPU* will be able to handle it.  Have the system requirements been made public yet?

Halo:MCC is automatic buy for me.

 

No Man's Sky

Ori

Shadow of Mordor

Destiny (though I am very much on the fence when it comes to buying it)  

 

No Man's Sky is this year? Thought it was "2015".

 

And yeah, my list is quite long, and that's not even including surprise stuff that will come along...games make me happy. They make all of us happy i assume, that's why we're here, so why not? Get more! Your list is too short Showan!

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
