I still never beat BotW for a variety of reasons. Really didn't like the climbing/stamina system or lack of direction, as I kept just getting stuck shortly after leaving the Plateau. Never even found any armor or anything, I just died every 20 minutes either from trying to climb a cliff and falling, or enemies (couldn't even kill basic moblins without dying over and over and over and over). Just had a series of extremely frustrating play sessions that really put me off. I hope to give it one final try before the sequel but eh...
God of War is the one I'm most certain I'll enjoy. I like the first one a lot, even if I find it a bit overrated (not even in my top 10 for the PS4). The sequel promises to be more of the same with some refinement, so I'll at least really enjoy it.
I voted Starfield in the end, even though there's a good chance it'll end up disappointing to me and we've seen nothing of it. Fallout 4 was my biggest disappointment of last gen, so I'm not super confident in BGS at the moment. But nobody makes actual Role-Playing Games like they do, and it's been over 10 years since the last game that adequately satisfied that itch (Skyrim). I'm getting tired of replaying Skyrim and New Vegas over and over, so I'm really hoping for Starfield to be a return to form for the studio.

trust THE TODD, FO4 was a big disappointment for me as well, but Starfield is a new beginning and a new IP, Todd is going to deliver
Lack of boss battles plagued the first God of War in 2005, too.
I'm thinking now they are much more comfortable with the existing formula, they'll have much more time to push the boundaries with crazier set pieces and bosses.
Botw2 just edges it for me.
I am really excited about starfield, but I expect to ultimately be a bit disappointed. I was really excited about fallout 4 but ultimately didn't finish it as I found the experience shallow, same goes for skyrim.
I'm sure I will like God of War, but I haven't played the PS4 game yet! I have all the prior games on ps3 and would like to complete them in order.

Nah, when Bethesda gives a date, it usually sticks because they are late in the development cycle.
OT: This one is hard for me because I'm getting them all and they will be very different games. I'm excited for the all equally, but give a slight edge to Starfield because it's a new IP.

Starfield and BOTW2 are neck and neck for me. Bethesda's single player RPGs are the best in the business and no one else makes games like them. Add in how long it has been since Fallout 4, and I'm definitely ready for the next one. BoTW 2 is the sequel to the best Zelda game in decades. All things being equal, I'd probably be slightly more excited about BOTW 2, but having to play it on Nintendo's hardware deflates the enjoyment a bit. So it is Starfield by a nose for me. I'll pick up God of War when I finally pick up a PS5 (hopefully after a redesign).
To the folks saying 2023 for Ragnarok and Starfield... what are y'all smoking?
GOW:R will probably be the first to hit the store shelves, hell, probably even sometime midway through 2022. Then Starfield will come out, without delays, as the title has already been pushed back for an entire year due to the pandemic, as it was initially shooting for 2021 (one of the reasons why PlayStation was pushing for a timed exclusivity deal for the title last spring/summer, before the Zenimax acquisition).
The only one I'm feeling iffy about is BOTW2, because Nintendo is Nintendo and also in part because of the Switch Pro wild card (which we don't know when will it come out due to the chips shortage crisis).

I doubt they will be too, just stating it's the hypothetical premise of this thread and why HFW isn't in the list.
Damn that poll is really close, I think I'm currently more excited for Starfield. Purely because we know the least about it and have barely seen a glimpse of the game, but BotW 2 and Ragnarok I expect at bare minimum to be amazing games so it's more of an agonising wait to play them.
Both BOTW 2 and Ragnarok are sequels to 2 of the greatest games of all time and easily the best games of the last 5 years.
Its very hard to pick between them, but Zelda just has so much potential. If they take the BOTW formula and add actual dungeons, better more Zelda like items, and a few other minor adjustments it might just even beat BOTW out and become the new best game of the last 10 years (or even the GOAT)

GoW is my most anticipated game at this moment. The other two aren't even close. It's one of my favorite franchises of all time.
Will probably play Zelda day 1 as well because my wife will buy it anyway.
I am excited about Starfield but I will wait how they will expand that game with DLC and I hope for a GOTY Edition. Like every Bethesda release before this most likely will be a bug fest at release. So I get a better and more complete experience later for less money. Was so worth it with Skyrim and Fallout 4 and I am trying to repeat it here.

That's what I'm looking forward to the most hopefully. I'm still not a fan of the over the shoulder perspective for it but I thought 2018 was pretty good overall. Just need a bit more. Im confident that SSM have it in them.
Hard choice between Starfield and BotW 2, but I went with Starfield. A big new IP from an accomplished developer like Bethesda is pretty exciting. I also really like the Elder Scrolls/Fallout open world formula, so I expect I will be pretty happy with the game. That said that formula has been surpassed by other developers so hopefully they tried some new things with Starfield.
And Zelda, what can I say? It's my favorite video game IP of all-time and Breath of the Wild is my favorite entry in the series (edging out Majora's Mask). I will likely enjoy playing it more than Starfield, but getting an open world scifi RPG is such a rare treat I had to vote for it.

Sony usually tries to avoid Nov if they can. It belongs to the yearly COD game or other third parties might try to squeeze in, like Suicide Squad or FFXVI.
Sony doesn't really release first party games past September. Occasionally something in October. If not out by September, then I doubt it's going to make 2022. They coast on third party games sales in the late Fall/Early Winter months.
I voted BoTW 2 because the Zelda fan in me won't let me vote for the others. Plan to be there day one for all three though!
All 3 I'm very very curious about. Breath of the Wild 2 has been in development for a long time, even considering Covid slowing things down. I think it's very likely that it'll be a bigger and more inventive game than we're expecting.
God of War Ragnarok is telling a story that I'm much more interested in on paper than the original, but I am a bit concerned that the game won't offer enough new to really entice me, but I have faith in Santa Monica.
Starfield sounds absolutely awesome, but I have to keep in mind it's been a decade since I've loved a BGS game. I am still excited for it, but it's the one I'm most cautious for

Wow close vote!
BOTW2 for me, without a doubt. The first game is one of my favourites ever so I hope we get a lot of new areas to explore.
