    Another really nice article @Grakulen ;

    This line pretty much says it all for 2015: You know how when you end a relationship you try and be nice and say, “It’s not you, it’s me?” Yeah… it was them.

    I hope not. Tech wise we aren't there just yet.

    Beyond those listed if you are a fan of JRPGs you are in luck. There are at least 10 good ones that are going to make their way stateside this year. Fire Emblem Fates, Dragon Warrior VII, and Dragon Warrior VIII, and Bravely Second are due out for the 3DS and there are more due out for the Playstation 4 and PC. If you like MMOs and you like RPGs 2016 is shaping up to be highly entertaining.



    what jrpgs are coming to Pc next year? :o , too bad i dont have a 3ds...because after playing a bit of Bravely default i was loving it... is sad that this games are exclusive to consoles :_(

    Doesn't cloud based gaming attempt to take advantage of older tech or lesser performing tech and bring their performance up to higher end / newer tech? I think cloud based will have an impact on the next year. I think Microsoft will be showcasing the azure cloud with Crackdown3. If there is any head turning to be had, I think that is a moment that it could happen.

    The current tech problem is latency from the server to your machine. That's the hurdle they are currently tripping over.

    Most JRPGS end up on console. You will see FFIX ported to steam and Dragons Dogma. That's about it for the PC. You will get a ton of band for your buck out of the 3ds if you like JRPGS.

    2015 wasn't exactly a bad year for Nintendo. A solid half of my playtime and game purchases have been on the Wii U this year.

    My Wii U got way more play than my PS4 did this year. I am hoping the NX turns out to be a good console, and not the b.s. cloud system that TheKnow posted on their channel a little while ago. 

    Additionally, I really hope they release the next Zelda title on the Wii U still, but release for the NX at the same time, much like what happened for Twilight Princess on Gamecube and Wii. The Wii U has good titles, but it doesn't have an expansive library, I think Nintendo does at least owe it to their loyal fans to release the new Zelda on the Wii U.

    Everybody have a different experience when it comes down to this brand new year of gaming, rather you into FPS and Can't wait to get your hands on the new Doom or The Devision, or any other FPS titles... or your into RPG's and can't wait for the boatload to come your way, expectually FF 7 Remake and the FF XV, along with mmo's like Black Desert Online and Blade and Soul, followed by any new annouchment of any korea games coming to NA in the future.

    There are tons of games out there that at this point, everyone going to have a different experience with, and have their own version of "who won 2016".

    The only thing keeping Nintendo barely alive right now is Pokemon sales. I don't think Nintendo has a future in hardware anymore.

    I am not really very fond of consoles in spite of beginning my gaming experience on a Play Station years ago I am more comfortable with the keyboard and mouse experience ,so much so that I purchased one of those gadgets for my PS 3 to enable it to be used with a mouse and keyboard but it turned out to be more nuisance then it was worth. I currently own an Xbox 360 and PS3 . I have not yet upgraded to a PS4 which if I were to buy a console I would invest in the PS 4 as I enjoy a lot of JRPGs.

    Forget Doom. Shadow Warrior 2 is where it's at. I can't wait, it's gonna be awesome! And the next Tomb Raider game, if it comes out this year. And No Man's Sky. Sadly though, that's pretty much all I'm looking forward to. The forecast for 2016 is quite droll for PC games so far.

    AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

    NAwwwwwww. They also have Xenoblade Chronicles X and if you dont know what that is. Well its by far the best rpg available on the wii u. Honestly i would place it pretty high in the top X list for all games.

    Regarding TW 3, Blood and Wine MIGHT not be the last expansion they push out for it, given that 2016 is to be "The year of the Witcher" I doubt they can achieve this with just one expac... and then there is this.

    I want to enjoy the 3ds releases so bad, but I'd need to upgrade to an XL at the very least to even make the experience playable. The original 3ds was a complete disaster for ergonomics as the DSi had a much better size ratio. I haven't touched my 3ds since Fire Emblem Awakening.

    Cloud based console gaming, do you mean video streaming the game play from a server? If so glad I'm not into consoles. Besides what about bandwidth and then the different data caps? Never going there myself.

    Good luck if your provider is Comcast with a download limit. With the state of ISPs today, it would not work very well.
