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)

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...

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!

    • If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
    • OpenClaw now has native mobile apps on iOS and Android by Karthik Mudaliar OpenClaw, the viral open-source personal AI agent, now has its own mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Users can pair the app with an existing OpenClaw gateway and can start using new mobile-native features that are now available on the app. The app supports all the existing features you'd already have seen on OpenClaw's TUI, as well as some more, such as real-time and background Talk mode, action approvals, sharing from iOS, and optional access to device capabilities such as camera, screen, location, photos, contacts, calendar, and reminders. These features are available on both the Android and iOS versions of the app. What's important with these apps is that they don't run OpenClaw on your phone, but are actually just companion apps that require a running OpenClaw Gateway on an existing device, on macOS, Linux, or Windows via WSL2. To pair the app with your existing OpenClaw gateway, users need to run the command "/pair qr" on the TUI or existing chat interface, which brings up a QR code. Users can then scan this QR code to pair it up with the mobile app. There's also an option to manually pair the app by entering the host and a port. Previously, OpenClaw had been available on phones via WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Matrix, and others. Now, with a native mobile app, the interface is much cleaner and more focused on just the OpenClaw, of course, with the added support for camera, screen, location, and more. It's important to note that OpenClaw comes with its own security warnings. There's always a chance of prompt injection with these tools, so users are recommended to double-check authentication, tool policy, sandboxing, and execution approvals rather than prompts alone. For users well-versed with the AI harness, a native mobile app makes it easier to approve an automation, share a link, use voice, or let an agent react to phone-side context.
    • Google pitches Spanner as one database for all AI agents with these new featues by Karthik Mudaliar Google Cloud is introducing new features within Spanner, its distributed database, as a place where enterprises should keep their data, using which AI agents could make smarter and better decisions. In a detailed blog post, Google highlighted quite a few features coming to Spanner, including relational data, graph relationships, vector search, key-value access, full-text search, and operational analytics together in one database architecture. Google says that today's systems aren't well-made for AI agents. There could be data that is present in one system, search indexes in another, embeddings in a vector database, and relationship data in a graph database. This fragmentation isn't great for AI agents to do their jobs because they don't have access to all of this data in one place. This is where Google is positioning Spanner as a solution. Spanner is already a globally distributed relational database with strong consistency, and Google wants its customers to see it as a broader data layer for AI applications. The company introduced something called Spanner Graph, along with integrated vector search, full-text search, a Cassandra-compatible key-value endpoint, and a columnar engine for analytical queries on operational data. Google also added that its ScaNN-powered vector search can support indexes with more than 10 billion vectors, while the columnar engine can make some analytical scans up to 200 times faster. All of this isn't just exclusive to the Google Cloud Platform, and there's support for multi-cloud as well. This comes via Spanner Omni, which Google says is a downloadable, containerized version of Spanner that can run on Kubernetes and in environments outside Google Cloud, including Microsoft Azure and AWS, and even on-premises infrastructure as well as edge deployments. Google says that customers who are interested in the full-featured edition should contact the company, and there's no word on commercial availability or separate pricing. Those interested can read the full blog by Google Cloud, which details these features individually.
