Most Anticipated PC Games of 2025

I like how The Outer Worlds was, conveniently, left off of Obsidian's "resume".
Big civ fan here, Ive played every single one since the first and every expansion. Probably over 10k hours of my life in the series.
Everyone always hates the new when it comes out, this is normal, fear not. I know a lot of changes are coming. It will be like going from civ 4 to 5, feels like a different game, uncomfortable at first but after awhile, you cant go back.
I think we will be fine and am very hopeful for one of my all time favorite series. Hell, I took that Friday off, lol.
I believe even if the initial release doesn't knock it out of the park, the dev and the community will take whatever comes out and over years, patches and maybe DLCs... turn it into something special. That's just what happens with Civ games.
I probably have my highest number of Civ hours in Civ 3 or 4 just because I had more free time to play them when they were current.

you should give it another shot because clearly you never learned how to play eternal.
some people enjoy learning, clearly you don't
Some people, those people being smarter than you, will see in my post that I do enjoy it. "There are other more profitable learning experiences when that's my goal. " I can only conclude that your days are spent in aimless gaming and you are upset because you know it and I pointed it out to you and your feelings were hurt.
I'll wait for the reviews. Anything "Made by Obdisian" seems to have some Internet following that auto-ascribes "it must have epic writing" onto everything they touch simply because they have fond memories of enjoying Fallout New Vegas. However, I've found the 'quality' of their writing in more recent years to be quite 'variable', with The Outer Worlds and Tyranny a bit "flat", PoE1 plot grinding to a halt after Act 2, and PoE2 filled with more plot holes than a sieve...
You are the type of grandfather everyone needs, full of wisdom, I like reading your comments
I agree, gaming shouldn't be a chore, just fun and easy to pick up, that is why I mostly play single player games now.
Thank You. That means a lot to meYou are the type of grandfather everyone needs, full of wisdom, I like reading your comments

Agreed.
Civ 4 to me was the golden age. The mods added so much life to that game. I remember discovering all the fantasy based ones and it just blew my mind.
Civ 4 will always be fondly remembered as the best IMO. Dont get me wrong, I now love where 5 and 6 took the series and cant really go back to 4 but much like you, I had a lot more free time back then, haha.

Looking forward to Suikoden 1 & 2 remastered, Lunar Remastered Collection, Lost Records: Bloom and Rage, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei, Judas, Okami 2, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Remake, Phantom Blade 0, Max Payne Remake, Pragmata, & Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.
Thanks, Rob! I knew about NONE of these upcoming titles and added several to my Steam wish list so they stay on my radar. 2025 has some promise after all
Clearly, I didn’t, but thanks for reminding me why I stopped trying.

At least they've got rid of the grappling hook that turned Eternal into Doom-themed platformer with guns.

Battlefield is just a name now... it no longer represents Commanders, and squad leaders and assets and Sided War.

This is true... but it is possible they make a come back. I'm not holding my breath, but I'm hoping. They are talking about returning to their roots.

I heard the new slow doom doesn't have MP at all. Is that true?
If that's true then the little bit of interest I had became nothing at all. The MP of eternal was an absolute failure and incredibly boring. 2016 MP is the classic MP modes that everybody loves. Dark ages just rolled over at the thought of MP? That's pathetic leadership at ID. TDM, Infernal Run, domination, just classic fun modes. Doom has become some odd kids coloring book. Hugo goofy af.

DICE Squandered so much. It hurts to think of what could have been.
Submersibles, Battleships, Goliaths,.. 0.o my..!
I wish we could get more FPS games like in the 1990s-00s range, focused on shooting instead of platforming and/or mah feelings touchy feelie crap. The new real FPS games have come from the indie side; AmidEvil, Prodeus, Project Warlock, Turbo Overkill, Hellbound, and Trepang 2 have uncontestedly put the slew of fidgit faux shooters to utter shame.
In general, just the thought of how EA and the new wanna be iD have troped out such inferiority while the greats such as Doom 1/2, Quake 1/2/3, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Halo, Duke Nukem 3D, Jedi Knight, Jedi Outcast, 00s Star Wars Battlefront I/II, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, GoW 1, etc. is just tragic. A true AAA FPS experience is a rare thing in the modern era; replaced by prettier graphics and watered down, nigh neutered, testosterone

We think exactly the same. I'm a longtime FPS gamer from the early days—I grew up with Doom as a kid, then switched to QuakeWorld in the '90s, playing at LAN parties. Then came the clans. I've played shooters my whole life and watched the industry change over the years, especially, and sadly, id Software. True AAA FPS gems are indeed rare nowadays, and some indie shooters are actually more fun to play.
I came here to express my fear that the new Doom 2025 will just be another ammo-forced melee fest with updated Glory animations constantly interrupting your flow — only to be told by Doom Eternal fanboys in this thread that I don’t "understand Eternal." Gladly, I must say. "When it's done" doesn’t bother me anymore like it did in the old days.
There’s btw so much discussion on Reddit about this topic, whether in r/doom or gaming subs, about how the modern shooter industry is going downhill. Topics like "Is it safe to say we’re in the worst era of FPS games ever?" keep coming up. Of course, it helps to be an FPS gamer of the first hours to have the full perspective on how games have changed because you actually grew up with the classics.
To conclude: I liked the way Hellbound handles its marketing—"No Glory ****."
