Well, my faith in the game industry is at an all-time low right now, so I don't expect to be buying too much (aside from games that have already been out for a decade or more...and then only once I have a decent source of income), but in 2015, I should at least be getting Soul Saga, Mighty No. 9, Yoshi's Woolly World, and Bravely Second if it gets released in North America this year. I might also pick up Citizens of Earth and Rayman Legends.

I got 100% completion. The amount you'd have to pay me to go for 200% would be enough to buy another entire new console. If the underwater levels weren't so horrible or the secret levels were better (and making world 6 less lame wouldn't hurt either), this would be my favorite game of all time, but as it stands, it's hard to say whether it's better or worse than Returns.

I'd probably forgive Activision if they made a new Crash Bandicoot game with the gameplay style of the first four games, as well as Capcom if they made a new (good) Mega Man game (Mega Man 11, X9, or ZX 3, presumably). Beyond that...it's mainly because they have been so stingy with those IPs that I don't like them.

If anything, I prefer linear games. I have never played an open-world 3D game that I liked, and the only nonlinear 2D games I liked were Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent (and Yoshi's Island if that counts), and even those were fairly linear within the areas. In my experience, open-world games mostly just tend to make me lost and force me to do a lot of backtracking and repetition, two things that will kill my enjoyment of something very quickly.
