I wouldn't call myself an optimist, but I guess I am one when it concerns video games. Reading articles on upcoming games there is often so much negativity, and people that have already dismissed a game on some supposition.
I am excited for Dreams, even though there is still no release date. I am excited for Days Gone, even though Sony already has another zombie game. I am excited for Death Stranding, because trailers so far have been cool and Kojima finally has total creative freedom again. I'm also excited for The Last of Us 2, even though I felt The Last of Us was brilliant on its own already. I'm hyped for Sekiro as well, even though Activision is publishing it. And so many more games.
I don't like every game that comes out and obviously some are going to disappoint, but there's no way to tell before they have released.
Anyone else looking forward to pretty much all upcoming big PS4 games?
@Kidfried Actually, I am the eternal optimist as well, as it relates to upcoming releases. Some may call me naive, but I am drinking the Kool-Aid. The quality just looks too good and the recent exclusives (God of War, Detroit, Spider-Man...) have been absolute killers with the critics. Who’s to say the train won’t keep going? It may be a character flaw, but I also feel very optimistic.

@Kidfried Days Gone, Ghost, TLOU2, Death Stranding, I'm pretty much going to get them all. Reason is pretty simple. I like action-adventure games, don't really care for the theme, I'm open to pretty much anything. And like @Th3solution already said, I think they've done a great job so far with their exclusives. From God of War and Uncharted 4, to Horizon and The Last Guardian. Even Spider-Man, despite being a generic open world game at its core, is more enjoyable than most other games, and far from a bad game. So yeah, I'd buy them based on track record alone. It's the same reason why I'm looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077, because if it'll anything like their other games, it'll be a great game.
Well for the first time in months a friend of mine was able to come over (we have both been really busy) last night. We played the Capcom Beat'em Up Collection and got through Captain Commando, and Final Fight. Also got to b.s.ing about how much video games have changed and become like movies now as forms of entertainment. In all it was a pretty good night. Now to just get rid of this hangover 😂

@RogerRoger Thanks, man. Being a Pollyanna is often looked down upon on the internet. But I just can’t help it sometimes.
@WanderingBullet Whoah. That looks pretty awesome. And mind-blowing. I’m not sure why I haven’t ever heard of this game before, but that trailer makes Death Stranding look like a simple children’s story.

Also, apparently Microsoft is going to host a fan event a la PSX, called XO18, including a livestream. Meanwhile Sony... hasn't announced anything yet.
Oh my God. Just disassembled and reassembled my Dualshock 4 to replace a faulty trigger. It's working again, but man... that's not something I hope I'll ever do again. There's too much going on in there. It's pretty difficult not to break anything with how compact that thing is.
