Bf4-Huge fan of the series, Dice can have all my money
GTA 5 on pc-Because of the modding community behind it
MGS5 on pc-Please Kojima?
Routine-Awesome survival horror sci-fi game that has an 80's movie feel to it
Star Citizen-If its everything its promised to be it will be amazing but I have my doubts
Deus Ex: Director's Cut: I like the game and it'll only be $5 for me. The updated boss fights and integrated Missing Link is worth it to me.
South Park: The Stick of Truth: I'm an Obsidian fanboy. To be honest, I wouldn't even be looking at if it was another developer. But it's not another developer, it's a developer I think can do something good with it. And I might be getting it free, anyway.
And that's it for games I'm anticipating this year.
Batman: Arkham Origins I played both AA and AC on release and absolutely adored both. I hesitated a bit on AO when I found out it wasn't being developed by Rocksteady, but I managed to get my hands on an NVIDIA key for $20 and am now eagerly awaiting the 25th.
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Ever since AC2, I've always been a huge sucker for this series, throughout its ups and downs. My excitement for Black Flag sits somewhere between my rabid anticipation of AC3 and my relative neutrality towards Revelations, but I'm excited for it all the same and will probably pre-order on Steam once we get closer to the Nov 19 PC release.
GTA V PC I've never been a huge GTA fan, but when V released on consoles back in September, I almost dusted off the ol' 360 to play it. I managed to resist at the thought of the game running on my monster rig, and am now eagerly anticipating this game's inevitable PC release. I can't wait to fuck around online with my friends.
Watch Dogs I've been looking forward to this one ever since its E3 announcement, and I'm actually glad it was delayed until Spring, as I already have way too much to play this fall. I'm a sucker for open-world games, and the technological elements looks like great fun. If nothing else, I expect another big, fun open world stealth game from ever-dependable Ubisoft.
Destiny This one is tough for me. Halo is probably my favorite series of all time, with Halo: Reach sitting right up their in my all-time favorite games, period. When Bungie announced Destiny, I was stoked. When they showed us gameplay at E3, I was mesmerized. When they announced it wasn't coming to PC, I was crushed. I'm still hoping they'll come to their senses and give us a PC release. If they do, it will instantly shoot to the top of my most anticipated games list, possibly of all time.
DayZ Standalone I never played the original DayZ mod, but that doesn't make me any less crazy psyche for the standalone release. I can hardly wait for my chance to survive in an enormous world with my friends in a realistic, simulation-driven experience. It sounds like my dream game.
Super Smash Bros. There's not a lot to say about this one. I've sunk probably 2000 hours into Brawl, and I absolutely cannot wait for the Wii U iteration. This is probably my most highly anticipated upcoming title.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds I'm an enormous Zelda fan, and I'm guilty of one horrible sin: I've never played ALttP. I know, it's horrible, but it means that ALBW will be a brand new experience for me in every way, which makes me all the more pumped for it.
Mario Kart 8 What can I say. Who doesn't love Mario Kart? It's one of my most dependably loved series, and this HD iteration appears to look as good as it plays (that is, marvelous).
There are others I'm looking forward to, but haven't made final purchasing decisions on, such as Battlefield 4, TitanFall, and Super Mario 3D World, but these are my main points of anticipation in the coming months. It's a good time to be a gamer. But then again, it seems like it's always a good time to be a gamer.
The Division - My personally most anticipated, I think this game and how Ubisoft is designing this and the crew, will revolutionize Co-op games. Everything I have seen on this has only made me more excited... open world, seamless, pvp, exploration, and has a story that knocks anything recently out of the park.
The Crew - Basically the exact same thing as the division except with less detail, a GIGANTIC open world, and no amazing story (at least not anythingI've seen). Oh and its about racing/cars... yay.
COD: Ghosts - The squad mechanic is the reason I'm excited about this, I look forward to see how they will use it, and I'm really excited to play against my own designed classes
South Park: the Stick of Truth - Can't wait to play a Vulcan.
Dayz standalone - much like the OP said here, this game really shined to me, I LOVED the mod and played the crap out of it; now if only DH would just release the alpha.
Kingdom Hearts 3- A childhood favorite, I'm a little reserved because its just been so long.
Elder Scrolls Online - The most exciting MMO I have seen in a long time, I've played wildstar and played a few others that are on the brink, this one is THE best... the only thing that comes close in my mind is world or warcraft.... but this is more EVERYTHING that that even.
The Witcher 3 - I am VERY interested in the story of this game, and to see if my computer can run it ^_^
Valve - With the steam machine coming out they would be MAD not to do something like developing HL3 or Portal 3 as a PC/Steam Machine exclusive. I'm excited to see what they will be launching with their system.
I'm actually excited for more games now than I have been in a few years. I guess that is the joy of entering a new console generation.
PC
Arkham Origins - Kind of worried about this one because it's a new studio, but they have enticed me with Deathstroke.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Made by CD Projekt RED and based on the tabletop RPG, looks to be the first actual cyberpunk RPG we have had in a long time.
Dark Souls 2 -Dark Souls but with a myriad of improvements and actual PC development.
Deus Ex Director's Cut - Can't wait to run through the game again with improved boss fights and all the DLC worked in to the actual game.
The Division - Not much I can say about this one that will do it justice, the gameplay preview and Trailer explain it better than I ever could.
GTA V(PC) - I will probably wait a little bit before buying this one as I already beat it on PS3, but I can't wait for the mods to reappear and make this game ridiculous.
Mirror's Edge 2 - Slightly worried that Dice might go in a more "broaden the demographics" direction, but I can't stave of my anticipation of another Mirror's Edge game.
Watch_Dogs - An Open world game set in Chicago. Kind of reminiscent of GTA but not really. Hopefully it's as good as the previews make it out to be.
the witcher 3 - Need I say more?
Routine - An Independent horror game set in a space station. Looks and sounds very good, here's hoping it's scary.
PS4
Xbox One
PS3
Command and Conquer Generals 2: I was a huge fan of the first. The different factions and generals within the factions gave a huge depth of gameplay in my opinion, and I also liked the fact that it was modern or near future warfare rather than medieval or 34th century themed. I know people are skeptical because its gonna be FTP but as long as I don't have to pay 5 bucks to get to the next tech tier then I'm good.
Call me Cynical Cheese or anything but I really have zero faith with the new Generals. Considering EA's past track record with their F2Ps from NFS World (where I was one of the early private Beta tester and i was one of the whales in the game, the current state of the game is utterly shit) to their newer F2Ps like Real Racing 3, I dont think Generals 2 is gonna be a decent F2P that is similar to League of Legends or Dota 2. EA is gonna nickel and dime everything where the proper way to enjoy it is to pay a lot of money to them. I will not say Real Racing 3 is a good F2P. No doubt you can play it without paying anything but you are severely limited by its progression due to its timer while you'll be locked out from a lot of amazing cars and grind to your bones as it takes so long to progress.
Anyway, back to the topic, here are the games I am anticipating to play:
XCOM: Enemies Within: As i had enjoyed the 2012's XCOM Enemies Unknown a lot and it can be seen that Enemies Within are adding a decent amount of content to the game that will shake off some of my habits, I am definitely looking forward to it.
Dying Light: It is literally Mirror's Edge combined with zombie apocalyse emphasizing with survival elements which seemed very interesting to me.
Call of Duty Ghost: I know, it felt really strange to be actually remotely interested in Call of Duty as the last CoD i bought was Black Ops 1 but I find the new Squad mode is pretty interesting to me. In short, you get to customise the gear of your 5 soldiers before you pit them against teams made by other players in Deathmatch mode which it sounds pretty interesting to me. At the same time, as I did enjoy quite a bit of MW3's Survival mode, it is nice to see that Ghost ups the player count to 4 now. Might get it if Squad mode turns out to be outstanding.
The Crew: This game is no brainer as The Crew is the evolution of NFS Underground's customisation system along with Test Drive Unlimited's open world driving and clubs, except now, you can to turn a street legal Chevy Camaro to a 4WD cross country truck.
Transistor: Bastion was one of my favourite games of all time while Transistor seemed fresh and interesting to me in a couple of videos. Thats definitely a day one purchase for me.
Galak-Z: Galak-Z is a space twin stick shooter with an artstyle that is similar to 80s anime.
Wargame: Red Dragon: I had always been interested in the Wargame series where it is a fairly realistic real time strategy that focus a lot on tactics but has been put off by its multiplayer only focus. Unfortunately, this made the single player campaign and skirmish to be fairly terrible due to lack of resources. Airland Battles are better but Red Dragon seemed to fix a lot of issues in the single player which made me interested, especially that the AI can use custom decks while they do not get have no fog of war cheat which made them difficult to be ambushed.
Next Car Game: As someone who loved the Flatout games, Next Car Game is the spiritual successor of Flatout with some really neat destruction technology.
Project CARS: I had backed this on day 1 and it is pretty comforting to see how far has the game gone for the last 2 years. Not sure how well will be game be in the future, but i do like what i am seeing now.
Planetary Annihilation: Being a beta backer and seeing the game is shaping up to be a decent spiritual successor of Total Annihilation, I am very excited to see how the game turns out on launch.
Hotline Miami 2: Loved the first game, especially the fantastic soundtrack and im looking forward to the sequel.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Witcher 3: I did enjoyed Witcher 2 but it is exciting to think see how CDPR will create a strong narrative in an open world game, considering that their previous games arent exactly open world games like Skyrim or GTAV.

Edit: I only listed a few games I know will come out in the next few months.
Assassins Creed 4 - While I'm not fond of the sailing, I really want to see how the whole thing plays out in the pacific enviroment, also next generation graphics. All in all, I'm more interested in how it looks, how it plays and how it feels than how it actually plays, if that makes sense.
Dead Rising 3 - I've always eyeballed DR 1 and 2, but never really played any of them. DR3 looks like the DR I'll try definitely want to try out and I'm really looking forward to it.
Killzone: Shadow Fall - Killzone is like Halo for me. I love it and I know I'll love Shadow Fall as well.
Watch_Dogs - I'm sad it got pushed back, but I'm really looking forward to it.
Tearaway - It looks like a really fun game for vita, and since nothing else really comes out for it I'll suck up anything that looks remotely good. :(
Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD - I've been waiting for this since forever, so I'm happy that it finally seems like it's coming out again. Updated character models, updated textures, all the international additions, this seems to be the best HD remaster that has yet been made. And I really don't want to miss this.
Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII - FF13 was okay, FF13-2 was ridiculous and I REALLY want to see how they end the whole thing now. I've suffered through more than I needed to, to just say "Eh, fuck this." I'll buy it, I'll finish it and I'll either like it ... or not.
Call of Duty: Ghosts - I've never really played a CoD before, I own Black Ops but I never played it very far. When I saw the space shooting footage I knew "I have to get this, it'll be stupid and I'll love it".
Super Mario 3D World - I wasn't that fond of Mario 3D Land, but 3D world looks amazing.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - I've tried to like Returns, but the Waggle controls ruined it for me. Returns 3D was pretty cool though, so I'm looking forward to Tropical Freeze!
Zelda: Link between Worlds - I LOVE LOVE LOVE Zelda SO MUCH. But I'm still not that convinced that the whole "become a painting" thing isn't just the same type of gimmick the wolf was in TP. I'm looking foward to it, but I remain skeptical.
Dark Souls 2 - I was REALLY turned off by Dark Souls when I first started it, but then I said "I'll play this now and I'll finish it, now matter how long it takes." Now I think Dark Souls is one of the best games ever made and I hope that Dark Souls 2 is just as good as Dark Souls 1 was!
inFamous: Second Son - This is, for me, the first real next-gen title. I loved inFamous and I'm really looking forward to this!

Kingdom Hearts 3
Final Fantasy XV
Metal Gear Solid 5
