My son has AC Syndicate and I pumped at least 5 hours into it before sort of deciding on playing something else. I've grown tired of Madden. Things change. Maybe I'm just getting old. I've read a lot more (just discovered I've read 24 books this year for a personal record) and find video games aren't holding my interest as much.

I think my most anticipated game is actually For Honor. I really enjoyed the alpha and playing online. That and being a pilot in SW Battlefront area about the only games I've ever really played online.
I'm excited for For Honor as well. That'll probably be a game that I give a few months to see how the response is and then grab for $40 or so. I'm interested in Battlefield 1, but not to the point where I'm going to run out and buy it. Dark Souls 3 was the last game I really poured a lot of time into, but, even then, it was only like 30 hours total or so. I beat the game and bought and beat the DLC. I'll gladly buy the next DLC when it comes out, but it's not something that I'm going to put more time into before that.

I do have the new Tomb Raider game coming in the mail and my best friend has been playing the crap out of it so I'm excited to play it, but it does seem a bit too open world for me and I'm probably going to have a hard time playing it consistently.

Before buying Madden a while back, I hadn't touched a sports game in ages, and it didn't last long. It was, once again, a giant disappointment to me. Felt like the exact same game from like 5 years ago, just prettier with a few more options. Still played the same. Still had the same issues. Was sad to see.

I've personally gotten into retro gaming more than playing new stuff. Need to fire up my PS3 again and play more Tales of Symphonia Chronicles instead of playing stuff I don't much care about right now (too much League of Legends again, sadly, because I'm a stupid addict).
