I didn't care for the first two too much, but the inclusion of Rebecca makes me want to give this one a shot as well. I mean, it could be better. Right?
I expect if to be yet another Assassin's Creed game. It will have underwhelming and simplistic combat, half baked stealth mechanics, an open world that is bloated with meaningless side activities and traveling anywhere will eventually feel like a chore, and the story will continue to go nowhere. I enjoyed these games at one point in time, but playing a new one year after year started to really highlight all of the flaws in their designs and now I can't even be bothered to really care anymore. Last year's Unity debacle was the final nail in the coffin. I think I'm done with the series and Ubisoft as well. The one-two punch of Unity and Watch Dogs was too much disappointment.
I constantly click it on and drop it during fights. After spending enough time with the games you start to recognize when it helps and when you are better off without it.
Things I really care about or have a lot of interest in I buy physical. I like actually owning discs and like having them in my game library. If I am just buying a game because I need something to play and I am bored then I am going to go digital. PSN flash sales and Steam sales have caused me to download a lot of things that I probably wouldn't have bought otherwise.
I feel confident that the top ten will feature MGSV, Fallout 4, Mario Maker, Bloodborne, Witcher III, Just Cause 3, and Undertale. Not in that order, but I think those will all be contenders.
Bloodborne is a must play. I can tell you now you are going to hear its name coming up a lot around the end of the year during GOTY discussion. Until Dawn, Last of Us, Journey, Resogun, and the Street Fighter V beta are all great too.
I would be interested in another Resident Evil title. I am in no way interested in a sequel to Resident Evil 6. If they are doing a 7 then I want it to do almost a complete 180 from what 6 was. Linear levels, quick time events, and Michael Bay tier action scenes need to go. Bring back puzzles and the large interconnected maps. Having a good item menu and boss fights would also help. The menus and bosses in 6 were the absolute worst in the entire main line series.
