Default Games you're waiting for

I don't think theres a topic like this, so there.
What games are you waiting for ? I just saw a teaser trailer for the Witcher 3 and while it doesn't show much of gameplay, the new concepts they mention (like an open world!) made this game jump straight to the top of my list of games I'm waiting for.

There's only a few games coming out this year that I'm actually anticipating, but here they are:

Bioshock Infinite
Amensia: A Machine For Pigs
Grand Theft Auto V
Watch_Dogs
Wasteland 2
Shadowrun Returns

I think GTA V is going to be a big game, I'm pretty sure it was pushed back but it's going to hit hard. Amnesia is my favorite PC game, probably because it's the only game it can run well, but I'm still going though the first story plus a few customs as well. Bioshock is Bioshock. Zombie games are one of my favorites, so DayZ, although I'm going to have to get a better computer, new Walking Dead game, hopefully different than the current ones, storyline will probably just as intense, and Dead Rising: Riptide. First one was not the best but it was fun, so if they fixed all the controls, bugs, and improved the gameplay, it can actually be a good game. Oh and FIFA 14.

I was thinking about Last Light, but Metro 2033 ruined it for me. I bought the game after a Steam deal, and it was so hyped up that I was hyped.

Total letdown. The only thing it had going for it was good use of atmosphere and difficulty level (but difficult in the annoying way, and not so much the strategic way). All the other important factors of a game, it lacked severely. Especially the ending... and unless the story was supposed to be "world ended... survive... also, weird ghosts that we will not explain, ever.", then I'm sorry, but that's one game I won't be playing again.

The books are fu***** amazing!
Metro was a bit disappointing, but I got it for free for liking the THQ fb profile so I can't really complain..
The books though - I assume they translated them to English by now, it's Fallout but without the American popculture references and a lot more down to earth. Even with these psychic events or whatnot and huge mutants.
The setting has amazing potential to be an "open world" rpg, there are so many factions in the Moscow metro, so many mysteries, it could just be the best thing since sliced bread. if they ever get around to making it

The book has been released in an English translation and I thought it was just okay, but I have a really tough time with Russian literature so it may just be me. I believe the publishing rights for the game were bought by Deep Silver (publishers of Dead Island) during THQ's auctioning. As for the actual game itself, I thought it was one of the more interesting releases this console generation, marred only by the gamebreaking bugs that made it impossible for me to finish, kind of like Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

thats totally fair

I haven't even played it haha it always looked cool woulda purchased it if it wasn't 360 exclusive, might still get it one day

I love me some atmosphere though, i really like games for the escapism, and it sure looked like metro succeeded in that

It has the atmosphere for sure. But hopefully you're not put off by intense annoyance at how you have to repeat the same areas over and over again. It's a checkpoint save system, which, to me, is never good for immersion. And the game isn't easy. It's challenging even on the easiest mode.

Let me just give you a tip now...
STOCK UP ON GASMASK CANNISTERS 24/7. This is literally 100 percent good recommendation.
