Speaking of Overwatch, Blizzard has really started to try getting their heads out of their asses this year in terms of doing what people have been asking for (kinda, this is Blizzard, after all :P ). Heroes of the Storm is finally getting new heroes, and a LOT of them. It's really shifting things up, which is what the game has needed for a while. Blizzard has been so gun-shy to change anything at any rate in any of their games the past year or two while their competators have been pushing out new stuff all the time. We're getting new HOTS Heroes like every few weeks for the past few months! Hearthstone hasn't exactly made getting cards any easier (they sure ain't Eternal on that front), but in terms of just releasing content more often and trending more towards whole new card types that radically change the meta, good things are happening. (I don't follow Overwatch, SC2, or WoW at all, so I can' comment on those Xp ).

This year made me love my PS4 so much. From the mentioned releases to the stuff like limited print stuff from LRG and Play-Asia. It truly is one of the best years in gaming. Not seen it this good since the 90s. (never thought 2007 was all that great)

Edit this is what I have gotten this year on physical 2017 releases.

Gravity Rush 2
Soldner X-2
Astbreed
Night Trap
Nier Automata
Ghost Blade HD Limited Edition
Persona 5 TYH Edition
Wonder Boy The Dragon's Trap
Darius Burst CS
Final Fantasy XII HD
Wipeout HD Collection with Steelbook
Sine More EX
Zelda Botw
RiME
Yakuza 0
Yakuza Kiwami
Ys Origin
Ys VIII CE
Metroid Samus Returns
Gundam Vs (just because it looks like Virtual On)
Tokyo Xanadu
Raiden V
Battle Chasers
.hack HD collection
USFII

If I posted every single game I got I would post it in that other thread. I just posted games that technically released this year in some form. I know many have longer lists but for me, this is insane as I normally for a year do at best a third of this for new releases.

I should point out I was being a little objective in my first post too, not everything listed there resonates with my personally... but the point is ultimately that this year is a home run for us all. It's a win for everyone and the best time to be gaming.

I don't normally play a lot of new releases but 2017 has done a good job of making me stand up and take notice.

I've been working my way through NieR:Automata and while I'm not as in love with it as some of you guys it has struck me as feeling like something that could have easily fit in during Square's glory days.

Hmm we agree a lot, especially on mecha anime... I wonder what you'll think of it by the time you wrap up ending C. It's the closest thing to Xenogears/Xenosaga to me in the greatest ways ever. Probably my GOTY, somehow defeating Breath of the Wild.

I own two 2017 physical releases. Breath of the Wild and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World.

I did see a Switch for the first time the other day though so that was cool.

Haha oh yeah, I forgot about my avatar. I guess that makes my post agreeing with you a little redundant, since my opinion was probably already a given :P

Nier is a narrow second for me. Yakuza 0 just beat it personally. Nier Automata is a fantastic game.
