I was just about to come in here and say "Yah but unlike 2015, it won't really be a good year for rpgs...
But then this was where I first learned of the P5 delay (boo, but not unexpected) so there is that and also..
Mass Effect is an rpg..sorta.So is FF15...sorta? Well then I guess that's 3 major releases. If we put Pillars of Eternity in the 'big rpgs' category, that matches the number we got in 2015.
And we might get Danganronpa 3 this year (who knows) and we are almost certain to get the (please be) finale to the 999/ZLR series in the summer..but those are Visual Novels/puzzle games huh?
Oh well. What we will get in 2016 is the two big pieces of DLC for the witcher 3, which will I'd assume mark the "welp, time to NG+" for many people, including myself. And the inevitable. "Well I beat FO4 as much I could, its been a good 9 months, time to do the 'lets add all the mods/dlc' dance and play a completely different game!.
And of course I am sure there will be something or other that catches my eye on the Vita, aside from the above mentioned VNs, and obvious no I did not mean it that way 'boobs, buy because boobs!' games released.
Oh and PC games get released constantly! Isn't there a Torment game coming at some point? I'd shout out age of decadence but..coming out in less then a month (amazingly) We are going to get at least a half dozen majorish Visual Novel released in 2016(I'd assume) thanks to the sudden 'wait, these sell on steam/sen..something group dedicated to bringing some of the better (i.e. for the story, not the sex) ones out in English via multiple kickstarters. (No idea the names, just know they exist). oh and obviously, shout out the X-com too. And the 2017-replay of Long war version 2.0 I am sure will be fantastic.
You know what? My initial thought that next year was going to be a dry peek for my kinda games is suddenly completely over turned. Next years gonna be lots of fun. Best year ever? Eh, this year's gonna be hard to top unless FO4 is awful (especially given, as I said, i expect it and the witcher 3 to make up a good portion of what I play next year too in NG+ fashion. ) But given 2014..At least its on track to be way better baring some other "man this ended on a downer' (anger fans, not the games) stuff.
