I'm not too sure how much interest I'll have in MW3. I've never been bothered by the Treyarch CoD games so IW being absent for this one is a bit of a concern.
To be honest I didn't overly like the last one but the Fallout games have been so good I am going to give them another chance.
Make sure you don't accidentally buy Scrolls instead of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim! http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/08/elder-scrolls-vs-minecraft-dev-scrolls-is-our-word.ars
How come you are not getting Dark Souls? Was Demon's Souls too much for you? I admit I haven't been able to finish the first game but I did really enjoy it so the second is a must get.
I'm a bit pants with games that require actual concentration. All it takes is about 20 minutes or so of not playing and I'll be back to button mashing like a monsly.
Dark Souls, Uncharted 3, and the Team ICO games are must-haves for me. I will absolutely be buying all of them. Dark Souls is a strong candidate for my Game of the Year if it lives up to the standard set by Demon's Souls. I will buy the PS3 version of Battlefield 3 as soon as I find it for a decent price. I've already pre-purchased the PC version.
Ive still yet to finish the end story of Disgaea 3. I'll have to wait for 4 for a few years. Dark Souls, MW3 and U3 is what I am looking forward too. Then there is the Silent Hill, ZOE and MGS hd packs to look forward to.
I'll be buying MW3, Skyrim, Sonic Generations and Gears 3 at launch. I'm still not sure about Battlefield 3 and I can wait a few months for Batman and the other games I want.
Christmas isn't far off now so I may leave a few of the maybes off and ask for them as presents. Might be an idea to leave one of the must haves too so that I really look forward to at least 1 of them. Saying that last year I asked for and got Castlevania as a maybe and really enjoyed it a lot.
I stopped looking forward to the Silent Hill games after they moved into American developer's hands. Homecoming was awful and Shattered Memories was beyond lame... It's a real shame since I used to love Silent Hill before they SHAT ON MY DREAMS.
It really lost a lot of the flavour of the original Silent Hill and the "reimagining" of the original story messed up efverything, as well as any sense of paranoia. If it wasn't icy, you were completely safe.
I never played Sh2 or 3 so they will be great, but with HD graphics. If I can get past getting scared that is.
The second one was OK but when I played the third I never got too far before I got bored and turned it off. For me the series never quite matched up to Resident Evil.
It wasn't really meant to be like Resident Evil, it played with its fear in a much more subtle way. A bit like how Asian horror films spend most of their time making you feel really uncomfortable, whereas American horrors are more interested in shock moments.
Disgaea 4 has been pushed back to October (when a lot of other games are out) so I probably won't pick it up at all now. Also it means there are now NO games I want this month as Resistance 3 just doesn't appeal. What a boring month this shall be. I might get the ICO + SotC pack on the 30th but that is so far away that I am not counting it. Also Dark Souls is out the week after which will take priority.
I got 3 weeks to come up with the money to buy my PS3 before my brother moves away to Uni. I should have that coming in very soon hopefully. Just in time for Uncharted 3 plus all the games I have missed out on since the last time I had one. Which means cheap too.
That's fine grim, it'll give us time to plough through EDF and Dungeon Hunter. @Phisix, make sure you get whatever flavour of the month, multiplayer game we're playing.
Everytime I put my PS3 on neither of you bastards are online, infact in your case it says you haven't been on for 11 days. I am beginning to feel like you don't love me anymore!
