I have a history of not getting especially excited over unreleased games. I didn’t trust the hype on the lead up to No Man’s Sky. I was very apathetic about Cyberpunk leading up to its release. I have ZERO interest in GTA6’s release. I just don’t trust that a game is going to be as good as the marketing and hype machine insists it will be.<\/p>\n

In the coming year I have nothing in particular I’m looking forward to. I’m knocking out my backlog one game at a time, whether it’s by completion or an acceptance of lack of interest. I suppose I look forward to the Fallout remakes, but other than that I don’t have anything on the horizon to care about.<\/p>\n

I’m happy to be wrong here because I like anticipating things if it doesn’t feel overblown. So tell me, what else should I be hyped about in the next year or so?<\/p>\n

\"Everything<\/p>\n

My wife and I are helping friends with a sudden and difficult move. Plus I’m having some fun PTSD symptoms that need to be endured. So that’s the reason for the brief post and there’s a good chance that I miss posting next week. Everything is fine, exciting even. Its just a lot. This summer has been crazy and fall is looking just as nuts. Thanks for hanging in there.<\/p>\n

Also I really appreciated your insight on my thoughts last week. I just don’t have the wherewithal to respond individually right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
