Personally it's a bit spread over different genres.

RPG type of games

Obviously a big RPG nerd, I'm looking forward to Wasteland 2, Diablo 3: Expansion, Cyberpunk 2077 and PoE (although the last two they probaly will be 2015 games)

Wasteland 2 has the potential to be a contender for my beloved Fallout games, so I'm naturally stoked for a setting similar to that of fallout. Time will tell if this game will live up to the hype. The Beta needs alot of work, but luckily there's still time and money to do something about that.


Survival Horror Games with FPS/3rd person:

Alien Isolation

The Evil Within

Dying Light

All 3 games look very promising, and I love the survival horror genre, especially with SCI-FI roots like deadspace. The Evil Within is from the original creator of Resident Evil, and honestly it looks absolutely fucking awesome! Maybe we will finally get a good alien game too, after 3 recent failures.

Action FPS or 3rd person/isometric

Titanfall

Satellite Reign

War of the underworld!

Really looking forward to these games, as they seem to capture what works in FPS and in isometric play.

Adventure Games:

STASIS


STASIS looks and plays awesome already, and I can't wait to see what happens later in this year.

Well if he posted RP games we'd think he was talking about Second Life.

Speaking of which, Witcher 3 comes out this year? I've heard good things about that series.

I thought of making this topic myself, I have a decent sized list I compiled at some point. Totally not in alphabetical order.

Dark Souls 2
Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure
Wasteland 2
Grim Dawn
Carmageddon: Reincarnation
Dead State
Pillars of Eternity (if it even comes out in 2014)
ASYLUM
Divinity: Original Sin
STASIS
Underrail
Blackguards
War for The Overworld
Legends of Eisenwald
Banner Saga
Age of Decadence
Might & Magic X
Witcher 3
Moebius
Quest for Infamy
Mage's Initiation
Legend of Grimrock 2
Shadowgate
Dragon Age 3 (kill me)
Hotline Miami 2
Age of Wonders 3
Elite: Dangerous
Next Car Game

Looks like a good year, tho in true Codex fashion (everything is shit) some of these might end up disappointing.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Underrail is my number one most anticipated game this year. I wonder if it'll actually be out this year though.

So many people are trying to be E.D.G.Y. by excluding PoE. :stupid:

There are a few others I'm curious about but those are the ones I actually want in my hands right away. It's bizarre to see so many games that are trying to hit some sort of pure RPG experience (ignoring for a moment QfI's adventure hybrid and Dark Souls 2's action nature). I feel like I got sucked into bizarro world.

Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, Divinity: Original Sin and Dark Souls 2. Not too much else but damn if this year won't be fun or interesting.

Thiaf. Not because I expect it to be any good, but because watching that train wreck unfold should make for some great entertainment.

The only games I have strong hopes for are Dark Souls 2 and Carmageddon: Reincarnation.
