I haven’t played anything in the series in probably over a decade and am well aware I’m asking a userbase who prob isn’t easily hyped by these things but even outside of that I hear the hype always talked about in third person (“it’ll sell so well”, “hype is enormous”) rather than first person (“I can’t wait to get it”, “I’m so excited!”)

I’m not claiming it’s all manufactured hype or predicting a flop here, just wondering if the wait becoming a meme has kicked off an undue expectation so I guess the question is do you know anybody who is or are willing to admit to a genuine excitement?

    Games I’m looking forward to:

    • Skyrim sequel
    • Jedi outcast sequel
    • Half-life 3 (lol)

    Games I’m enraged there will be no sequel to:

    • Days Gone

    Games I used to love that were ruined beyond hope and I never want to play a new iteration of:

    • Everything made by Blizzard

    Games that I’ll consider once it’s on sale for $30 on Steam:

    • This
    • Whatever the team behind Baldur’s Gate 3 is doing next
    • Whatever the team that did No Man’s Sky is doing next

    That’s pretty much everything.

        Sorry, fallen order / survivor, not outcast. That’s what I get for going by memory.

        That said, sequels to outcast and x-wing would be pretty awesome.
