I'm probably forgetting a lot of other games and some of these will probably be hit or miss, but here's my most anticipated.
1. Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt: By far my most anticipated game of the year. Witcher 2 is among my favorite games of all time. Witcher 3's open world and conclusion to the Geralt storyline has me salivating. And it will look amazing.
2. MGSV:Ground Zeroes: Despite the bullshittery regarding the price, I'm still hyped for Ground Zeroes. It could turn out be a completely awful cash-grab/glorified demo for all I know, but I love Metal Gear. Also, the Metal Gear Solid rule for me is odd-numbered MGS games are my favorites (MGS1, MGS3) and even numbered MGS games are my least favorite (MGS2, MGS4). Five is an odd number, so there's at least a 50 percent chance it might be amazing.
3. Broken Age: Full disclosure, I backed this. You better believe I'm anticipating it. That being said, my hype has surged only just recently. The initial excitement after the Kickstarter was funded wore off in a few months. Them running out of money and the delay and splitting it up into two parts really made me question my faith in the project.
That was until I just recently saw how awesome the first part of the game seems to be coming together. It just looks amazing, especially from an art style point of view.
4. Dragon Age Inquisition: Sure I have my skepticism, but I think BioWare might actually be able to pull this off. Dragon Age: Origins and even the expansion, Awakening, were among my favorite games of last generation, so much so that I pre-ordered the Dragon Age II Signature edition sight unseen. Of course, I was let down by DAII like most were, more so by the game design than the story that admittedly dives off a cliff into stupid town in Act III, but I blame EA as much as I blame BioWare for rushing DAII out the door. It seems like they are actually being given a development time longer than that of NBA Live 2013 this time around and it's open world. It could still be horrible, but I still have faith in the Dragon Age franchise. I'm the kind of guy that thought ME3 was great game that was only marred by that unfortunate ending.
5. The Witness: I absolutely loved Braid, so I'm hyped for what Blow has up his sleeve. If The Witness can capture the feeling of Myst without making you feel like you have to be a member of MENSA to be able to solve the puzzles it could be awesome. Not yet completely sold on the core game mechanic though.
6. Dark Souls II: In all honesty, I likely won't even finish Dark Souls 1 at the rate I'm playing right now, but going from not really getting or enjoying Demons Souls to really enjoying Dark Souls and the feeling of accomplishment you get from getting past brick walls and parts that you thought were simply impossible or that you'd thought you'd never be able to beat has got me hyped for the next entry in the franchise.
7. Titan Fall: Accusations of manufactured hype be damned, this is the game that will get me to buy an Xbox One. I think it looks great and, if anything else, it might give my IRL friends the motivation to move on from CoD and try something new. Plus mechs.
8. Destiny: This is still a huge unknown to me. The concept sounds amazing, but I still hardly know anything about how this game will actually play.
9. Watch Dogs: Its initial reveal had me super hyped and I had a PS4 Watch Dogs bundle pre-ordered. It's delay and GTAV has tempered my hype and expectations to a great deal, but I'm still hopeful it will be fresh and new and not just another Ubisoft collect-a-thon masquerading as an open world game.
10. The Order 1886: Another big unknown for me, but the concept, setting and look has me hyped.
