Smash Bros Halo Pokemon

CoD It's rare for a CoD developer to lie to us. The only time I remember this happening was back in Ghosts. They said you would automatically mantle walls if you ran towards them. That never happened.
-
MW2. Every map and mission is iconic in the franchise.

Edited by TheWiseGuy: 2/25/2015 7:09:04 AMPAYDAY 2 surpassed that level. Anyone who pre-ordered it for console had to wait a day or two to get their actual copy since the company expected less console sales and produced less than expected. Those on Steam were as equally excited, since the first PAYDAY did really well. That marketing campaign they did, with all the live-action trailers, those helped keep the hype alive. Still goin to this day, with new heists, characters, and items.

Payday 2
-
Black ops 2

TEKKEN Tag 2 was really well made.
-
Hopefully Final Fantasy XV. Type-0 doesn't have that much hype so that shouldn't be an issue. Batman Arkham Knight looks promising as does UC4, and KH3 I am personally hyped for.

Starhawk came put in 2012

Edited by luke4dead: 3/9/2015 10:05:48 PMGotta go with Skyrim, if a game can keep me coming back after four years with the vanilla game and some DLC. It has more than succeeded in my opinion. This has only gotten me more pumped up for the next game in the Elder Scrolls series. (I'm not counting ESO, I haven't personally played it but I heard it was pretty much garbage).
