I sunk more time into Just Cause 2 than any other game. That's the best sandbox to play in in any video game I've ever played, and its just a big dumb action movie in video game form. 400 square mile map in this iteration too, JC2 took 30 minutes to drive around the primary island and 15 minutes to fly from one corner to the other in a military jet. Just phenomenally big. Don't buy it if you're looking for an awesome story, the map and destructibility are the stars.
Cloud/Midgar DLC hitting Smash tomorrow along who knows what kind of news also coming out of the December Smash Direct @ 5pm EST.
Expect the unexpected.
It IS the final one tied to the game so it should reveal any other future DLC plans, final amiibo release dates, and should discuss the Smash Poll winner and what they will release with it.
Word on the street is a Geno (SMRPG) Mii Fighter Custume hits tomorrow as well.

So before the first 2016 AAA game (Currently FC Primal) we have Life Is Strange physical release, Unravel, and AC Chronicles. So an episodic game and some platformers. I'm stoked on each one of them honestly after seeming more gameplay of Unravel.

It's crazy how big of a month March has become for games. FC: Primal, Uncharted 4, Hitman, Street Fighter, and The Division are all slated for March releases right now.
And through that, the late holiday season is pretty much barren...
Since November we've got:
The half-game Battlefront
Just Cause 3
Rainbow Six: Siege
CoD v5.0
Fallout 4
So basically three versions of the same game with different skins, a great game that no one will buy, and a buggy as hell game that is unwieldy as all hell that everyone creams their pants over. Pretty lackluster slate for Christmas shopping.
EDIT: As someone who bought the season pass for Life is Strange when it was massively discounted on PS+, I highly recommend it IF you like story driven occasional button pressers and can cope with the dialogue that's been put through the hipster machine one too many times. Very cool premise and an interesting story.

Notice how March features at least 3 games that got pushed from Holiday timeframe. March/April are always pretty loaded and then it's kinda quiet until E3

Finally beat Yoshi's Woolly World. Probably my favorite Yoshi platforming game since SMW2. The unlockable Yarn Yoshi skins you can get are addicting to obtain. I have all of them sans the Special Level ones which are actually themes based on Nintendo consoles. The platforming skill needed to get them though is insane.

No more Uncharted in March...I'm beginning to wonder if it'll ever get done!

Still in April! It's pretty much done they just needed a little bit more time before they sent the gold. Naughty Dog is one of those devs that wants it perfect when it releases. Plus March was a bit packed whereas April can be an exclusive battle.
June will have some big releases than July will be E3. August will feature DE and September sees the sports games. I'm interested in which games will actually be released this year and which are next year.
Horizon, Detriot, Neir, ReCore, Scalebound, Crackdown, etc. All of those are in the will it won't it category that I'm interested in.
Also will we get a Forza Horizon 3 or create a third main series (maybe a rally game?)?
