B. Purely because this year was amazing for me, and also because Ninja Gaiden 3 and the new DMC don't look too great and they're two of my favourite game series and if they don't sell well enough it's pretty safe to say that will be death of them for a very long time.
Binary Domain, Asura's Wrath, Syndicate, Borderlands 2, Spec Ops, Reckoning, Bioshock Infinite, and Mass Effect 3 are the reasons I can't wait for this year to be over. But that's all I'm interested in on this list.
Another year where I won't have to upgrade my PC. In a way I totally don't mind the stretching out of this gen's console cycle because I really have no desire right now to drop a grand for a new PC. As it stands I can run most things close to maxed out so I'm happy.
2012 has no chance against 2011. I'm looking forward to Bioshock Infinite, Borderlands 2, Rainbow 6, and Diablo 3. Everything else I've heard of either bores me or, well, bores me.
Many of these sequels are coming out too soon. Halo 4 already? Assassins Creed every year? I really want Bioware to delay Mass Effect 3, too. There's a reason it looks exactly like ME2. Also, most of these franchises don't interest me. So it should be an off-year for me. I need it.
hopefully more boobs, more frontal nudity, more implied sex (because actual, or depicted sex wont happen ), but not sex for the sake of sex, like the witcher and the witcher 2. better stories with sexy woman protaginasts, but not woman for the sake of woman.
when it comes to big names coming out it will be about equal, but for me personally im mostly interested in Bioshock: Infinite and Borderlands 2.. maybe some Hitman. i had more "must haves" this year then the "must haves" that are in store for next year.
For me it isn't the games that will excite me next year, but the possibility of seeing (in some form) the next generation of consoles at the next E3. Assuming this happens it might be even more exciting than this year for gaming in general, but games-wise maybe not.
I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite, GTAV, The Last Guardian and Assassin's Creed III, which isn't a lot when compared to the amount of games I was excited about for this year.
I think next year will have bigger highs than this one, but they will be fewer and farther between. I base this off of 2009 to 2010, where...well, to be honest, we got the titles that all of this year's and next year's sequels will be based upon! Sure, Skyrim, Catherine, Bastion, Deadly Premonition, Amnesia, and Super Meat Boy are titles that aren't getting repeated/aren't repeats, but 2012 is largely follow-ups to other titles, especially those that released in 2010.
The only games next year I need to play are BioShock Infinite and Persona 5 (if it comes out.) I also should probably play Mass Effect 3, and luckily I won't be paying for it as my roommate is far more interested in that franchise than I.
Next year will be just like this year: A lot of established properties getting their due with a few original titles here and there that will surprise everyone and go on to spawn their own sequels and reboots. The Wii U will probably come out and the launch lineup will consist of games that were released 6 months prior on the other consoles and a handful of unique titles, one of which will be a party game of some sort. It will be the only one that sells.
So... It will be about the same. As always. Hopefully this is the year that breaks Call of Duty, though I doubt it. That game is turning into Madden for a certain subset of people.
I think it will better than 2011 and pretty much equel to 2010 with more quality releases early in the year and traditionally some hot games at the end of the year. Syndicate, Mass Effect 3, GTA V, probably XCOM, Hitman Absolution, Tomb Raider and my most anticipated BioShock Infinite. I also hope for proper Assassin's Creed III and maybe, just maybe Half-Life 3 announced at E3 with the release by the end of the year. That would probably make it the best year in gaming ;)
If no unannounced games come out next year and everything that has been announced ends up being exactly as good or bad as I expect, 2012 will be a slightly worse year than 2011.
Diablo 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, The Syndicate, Max Payne 3, Halo 4, Prey 2, ME3, The Witcher 2 on 360, Torchlight 2, Bioshock: Infinite, and the New Rainbow Six(better be worth this long wait Ubi you fuckers).
2011 had more let down games than any year ever for me.
It certainly starts with a bang that's for sure (Final Fantasy XIII-2, Mass Effect 3, Max Payne 3, Ninja Gaiden 3, RE: Operation Racoon City, Tales of Graces F, Syndicate, Twisted Metal, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, The Darkness II, SoulCalibur V all hitting in the first quarter). This might be one of the most crammed first quarters in gaming history.
