Short-term radar

[Yegolev]

It's October again, and here' what's on my short list and why.

Oct 21 gets me Fable 2 and Little Big Planet. Fable 2 is for the wife, who doesn't have any Bullfrog experience and actually liked Fable.

That's fucking it until December, which contains FFXIII and Persona 4.

What did I miss?

[schild]

Dead Space
Age of Booty
Saints Row 2

You made this thread just to bait me didn't you?

Also, this is with no investigation.

[Cyrrex]

 

Oh, and wait one GOD DAMNED SECOND.  FF13 is really coming out in December?  Really?  REALLY?  I had for so long assumed that that was a bullcrap date, so I haven't bothered to keep up with it.

[schild]

No, Yegolev is just crazy and making things up.

[Cyrrex]

Well, didn't I just fall for that hook, line and sinker.  There is a special place in hell for Yegolev.  It's right next to all them bitches not voting for Palin.

[Rasix]

Will buy this month:

Fallout 3
LittleBigPlanet
Fable 2 (may try and wait on this one)

Not sure how I'm going to buy 3 $60 games right around my wife's birthday. This may involve a parade of disappointing 360 RPGs making their way back to Gamestop.

Will buy rest of year:
Persona 4

Want to buy but family changes means I should probably control my spending:
Resistance 2
Saints Row 2
Gears of War 2
Mirror's Edge (fucking hell, already?)
Dead Space


Game I hope I don't buy:
Wrath of the Lich King (I really hope WAR doesn't manage to bore/disappoint me before then, because WoW pvp is dogshit in comparison)

There's been a lot of stuff released recently that I'd like to pick up (Witcher Enhanced, Spore, etc) and a lot of stuff I'm just forcing my brain to ignore that it exists (what PC? I see no PC games I wanted. NANANANA *plugs ears*).

[Reg]

Have they released the technical requirements for Fallout 3 yet? It's getting awfully close to the release date. Maybe this will be the game that finally forces me to upgrade my ancient computer.

[Yegolev]

OK, will admit that this thread was bait if schild admits his list contains at LEAST 50% bullshit.

I did forget Fallout 3 because I have it preordered and I am very "fire and forget". But YES to Bloody Mess.

[schild]

Oh, is this what I'm supposed to be buying? I thought you just wanted to know what was coming up.

Take off the following then if it's BUYING IT:
Animal Crossing
The Last Remnant
Gears of War 2
Tales of Symphonia

The rest I'm picking up.

[Yegolev]

Oh, hey, is anyone really going for that Castlevania fighting game bullshit other than schild and Killjoy?

[Yegolev]

I KNOW what's coming up motherfucker... However since I really do live under a Gamer Rock I will allow that. I mean RADAR as in what you will designate as a target to obtain before Q109.

[schild]

wtf?

Castlevania Judgement isn't on that list.

Order of Ecclasia is the new 2D sidescroller.

Where's your head, yeg?

 

[Sky]

Dead Space and Fallout 3 are on my list, but much later when I can afford them (and if they don't suck). GTA4 will be out for PC 11/18. Gothic 3 was ok, but I'm not sure I want to play through it again just for the expansion content.

I'd like to have 1/10th schild's gaming budget 

[Yegolev]

My head is in fucking beer right now. I honestly did not know about any real Castlevania game. I will need to investigate and report back to Killjoy, since he's an enormous douchebag.

Your list is still full of shit.

[Jain Zar]

If there is another 2d Castlevania game this fall, it means my short list has 3 games on it.

It, Guitar Hero 4, and Fallout 3.

My longer list includes piles of Atlus Turn Based SRPGs, and tons of Wii VC titles.

Plus existing games FF4 and Lego Batman.

I've got too many old games to play and money is tight and I would rather buy tabletop games instead. 

Hell, with VMWare Fusion I can now play lots of my older XP titles and with a copy of 98, a bunch of games XP shits on or makes a pain in the ass to run.
(WARLORDS 3 MOTHERFUCKERS YEAHHH!!!  Master of Orion 2!  Planescape Torment!  The SSI 40K games!)

Basically I need them to stop releasing new videogames that aren't named Dragon Quest for the next 3-4 years or so when I can catch up.

(Or Phantasy Star.)

[MrHat]

When we going to drink together fucker.

Also: Fallout 3 and Fable 2.

[Yegolev]

When we going to drink together fucker.

According to the wife: NEVAR.

However, time will tell.

[Morfiend]

Dead Space
Saints Row 2
LBP
Fable II
Fallout 3
Gears of War 2
Resistance 2
Mirror's Edge
Left 4 Dead

Guitar Hero World Tour?

[schild]

When we going to drink together fucker.

According to the wife: NEVAR.

Sounds like a reasonable response.

[FatuousTwat]

Dead Space
Saints Row 2
Fable 2
Fallout 3
Left 4 Dead (I really hate using the 4 instead of for)

That is pretty much it I suppose.

[eldaec]

October : Fallout 3

November : Red Alert 3

December : GTA4

January :

February : Empire Total War.



I have no idea if I have the dates right.

[stray]

I'm less than thrilled.. As far as newish titles go, it seems like there are lot of shooters out or coming out (PS3) :\

Deadspace, Socom, Resistance, Fracture, Brothers in Arms, Mercenaries

LBP and Fallout are notable exceptions, but I've pretty much disliked everything Bethesda (not to mention Fallout is probably shooter-like too?). And LPB just seems like an occasional diversion (albeit it neat one).

[Azazel]

We need one of those comprehensive lists, broken down by platform like we used to have.

At least for the now-Christmas period.

[Velorath]

We need one of those comprehensive lists, broken down by platform like we used to have.

At least for the now-Christmas period.

Feel free to make a list of the 350+ games coming out between now and the end of the year (and that's counting multiplatform stuff as just 1 game).

[stray]

Geez? If I can't find something between now and then, then my gaming days are definitely over. 

[Strazos]

Dead Space, if it does not suck.
Fable 2, hopefully for free. 
Mirror's Edge. Hopefully I get to confirm I want it when I get to play the demos.
Persona 4. Never even opened my copy of Fes. Don't care, still buying it.
Fallout 3. AT first I REALLY did not want to get this, but damn, it's grown on me....just hope it's not post-apocalyptic Oblivion.

Gonna take a hard look at Gears 2. And I need to see how Valkyria Chronicles is.

[Yegolev]

No, see, I want to avoid that because I have looked into the Eyes of the Beast and it's full of Barbie Horse Adventures.

[Moaner]

Fuck.  This holiday is going to suck as I'm saving my monies for a trip to Greece next year.  WOLK, Fable 2, and Left 4 Dead are the only games I'm allowing myself this season.   

[Chenghiz]

Far Cry 2
Mirror's Edge (not for a while, thanks EA)
Empire: Total War

Gee, looks like I won't be dropping as much money on games as I thought I would be. Was going to get WotLK but now I'm not so sure, I do enough other stuff that WoW would be getting in the way.

[Sky]

I see EQ2 is putting out another expansion (via amazon's email, wonder what busted the wheels off SOE's propaganda cart). Was thinking about playing a bit more come winter time, but also considering the new WoW expansion since I haven't played WoW since a few months after release with my 58 hunter. Kinda wish the WoW exp had both expansions.

[Yoru]

I'll be picking up Fallout 3 probably in mid-November, but that's the only guaranteed buy. I'm in wait-and-see mode for Deadspace and Fable 2 (is F2 even on the PC yet?), so those are candidates for December. Late December I'll probably pick up WAR.

Left 4 Dead will be dependent on whether it gets a lot of play at the office; there's no way I'm playing that against random internet idiots.

That's about it until The Sims 3 in February, I think.

[Azazel]

350 Games? Damn, thats a lot of companies making a loss in a crowded market then.

Gonna watch or buy these:

Left 4 Dead
WotLK
Saints Row 2
Lego Batman
Fallout 3 (maybe)
GH:WT
CoD:WoW
Clancy: Endwar
GoW2

[Murgos]

My immediate future is Fable II (I'm a recent victim of the pre-release hype), Fallout 3 and GoW2.  I would have had Saints Row 2 in there also but recent reviews have left me thinking it will be a good 'some other time when nothing else interesting is around' game.

I mean, why ass around with 'good' when there is 'GREAT!' just waiting for your time?

[schild]

I can't care about Gears of War 2 with Left 4 Dead, Killzone 2, and EndWar coming out.

Something about the way UE3 titles from Epic (namely Gears and Unreal 3) look. They're just 100% unappetizing to me.

[Murgos]

Honestly?  I don't play that many shooters.  GoW is the last one, I think, and I played it to completion so I am willing to give it another go.  Heck, I haven't even played HALO 3 or Crysis or Far Cry yet.
