None of the above - I couldn't care less about any of those games. I'll likely never play any of them, ever.



Only game I can think of looking forward to at the moment is Horizon: Forbidden West. I honestly loved the first game, so if the sequel manages to be as good it'll be nice. Though these days liking a previous game doesn't make me enthusiastic about the next one as much as it just kind of gives me the sinking feeling of dread over how they'll find a way to put out a terrible follow up and utterly ruin the entire franchise. I've been burned waaay too many times over the last decade or two by soulless companies seemingly going out of their way to destroy literally everything I've ever loved.

I've kind of reached the point where I avoid looking forward to games at all because of it. Not helped by the fact that the last two games I was honestly excited about turning out to be catastrophic clusterfuck buckets of hot liquid feces. Pre-release hype can pretty much go fuck a cactus at this point - the only sane mindset at this point is to ignore games completely until months after they're first released, at which point solid reviews will be in and multiple patches will theoretically be released to make games playable in the first place. At this point I almost can't justify buying any game less than six months after release. Not helped by the ridiculous state of next-gen consoles (I probably won't own a PS5 until 2027 at the earliest, so I certainly won't be buying any games for it).

About the only other game on the horizon (no pun intended) I'm even paying attention to is the new Saints Row soft reboot - and that mostly because I expect it to be laughably bad and another case where a franchise I once loved has been turned into a franchise I loathe. Though I'm open to be proved wrong - hopefully it can manage to get everything right and be a worthwhile game on its own terms. I just have very little expectation that it's going to turn out that way.
