Games you're buying this month?

[Foamhead]

October:
Fallout 3
Fable 2
Farcry 2

November:
NWN2: SoZ
Left 4 Dead

Dead Space is a possible.

You mean Obsidian or Atari doesn't even give you a free copy of the game you helped make?

You mean you aren't sick of looking at it after all these months?

 

[Frau Bishop]

+1

 

[MLMarkland]

Next couple of months:

Dead Space - Trailers look pretty sweet
Fallout 3 - Sue me
Far Cry 2 - This will own
Left 4 Dead - This will be the greatest co-op you've ever played. I can't imagine this not being game of the year on most people's lists
SoZ - This is going to be a classic. Seriously, I've not had as much fun playing a DnD game since IWD

 

[The Rambling Sage]

The only thing i will be buying between this month and new year is Jade Penetrate, to complete the collection and maybe have the original give me enough luck to 1cc the damn thing, and Persona 3, just to have the original making company to the rest of my MegaTen collection. Most new games stink or become boring after half a run through and i never get to see the ending, so it is torrent for them.

...

i m having a blast playing the Fall from Heaven mod for civ4 (new version just released few days ago) and expect to continue so for at least the next half year. otherwise the only thing i play in between is crysis/warhead (trying out new mods&maps as they are released) so those 2 games or rather the custom content for them already cover my gaming time - for free.

none of the titles scheduled for release in the next half year look particullary interesting either, i.e. at best mediocre, so i m gonna save my money and instead maybe upgrade my graphics card.

possible exception being SoZ but i m still not sure how an exploration/full party creation type of RPG ( i love the concept ) is gonna work with NWN2s crappy Combat - MOTB was definitly a great game but that was because its was very story focused so you could ignore the shitty combat system. for just 30 bucks addon-price i may actually try it though, if FFH lets me ^^

 

[Konjad]

1. Storm of Zehir (if it'll be released in Poland at that time)
2. Age of Decadence
3. Perhaps King's Bounty but I have to play a demo first
4. I might also buy Gothic III: Forsaken Gods, but only if it won't be shitty as retarted G3. Though I don't believe it won't.


To the guys who are going to buy Fallout 3:
I fell sorry for cRPG players because of you, guys. It's your fault dumbfucked games like that are developed, so fuck you.

You're trying too hard.

 

[Jaime Lannister]

King's Bounty has been the only game this year worth buying, the rest are torrent fodder. I assume this trend will continue as Fallout 3 and Fable 2 are thrust upon us.

Does it get bad in the late game or is the whole game as good as the demo?

 

[Herbert West]

Far Cry 2 will have securom YAY

Aww fuck. I'd have no qualm about buying it and downloading a crack to enjoy the game instead of tearing my hair out in desperation when the DRM goes FUBAR.

However, now when publishers are going berserk with this pointles SecureROM shit that so far has managed to make thousands upon thousands of their paying customers very angry, I have my doubts about supporting their efforts with my money...
What's the bloody point of this securerom crap? It eludes me completely! Their games get cracked on day 1 or earlier when they get leaked. It is NOT meant to fight piracy. Is it meant to prevent people borrowing their games to their friends? Whatever the point is, it's moot, since we've seen publishers loosening those restrictions after their outraged customers complain.



Ok Skyway, your turn.

I'm about 85% into it, I'm assuming. Game has been great pretty much all the way through so far, pretty well balanced and challenging still. Even when you think you have a badass army, you'll still run into equally tough opponents making you think before you act. I'd say if the demo left a good taste in your mouth, don't be afraid to give the full game a go. Lots of quests, dialogue and a large variety of characters.

 

[Micmu]

King's Bounty (need to "legalize" it, EU version comes out at the end of Oct., fucking noob businessmen).

My machine is too lame for Far Cry 2, so I'll probably pass.

Other than that, none.
Edit: I assume SoZ won't be avail. here in Oct.

 

[serch]

SoZ
The Witcher EE (The package just reached this morning)
King's Bounty
Far Cry 2
Mas Effect PC when and if they drop the illegal DRM scheme

 

[hakuroshi]

Nothing will be removed from inventory.
Or added for that matter.
Maybe I'll try SoZ, but that means to install NWN2 again... :\

 

[Korgan]

Evercrack 2. I've heard it's ok and doesn't even have a lot of grindan.

 

[Lothers]

Dead Space probably, FarCry2 likely and PES2009 for sure

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

I'm buying it just for the DC characters. And it looks reasonably good. Also, it's Kollector's Edition has the aforementioned bestest evar cover by Alex Ross

That is a nice cover.

Since DC is involved, it might not actually be complete ass when it comes to the fighting part. I don't know if DC has any experience in this area, but any other input other than from the MK team is a good thing. Hopefully, DC took over most of the production, with the MK team just working on the engine basics and janitorial duties. We might also not be seeing those fucking horrible "extra modes" that MK has been injecting to over the past several titles.

As far as I know, no extra modes are there (though Chess Kombat was fun). The main story mode is a bit different from usual it seems though. If I've understood right, you only pick either DC or MK and then go.

Writing was taken over by DC. The bad news is that they put Palmiotti on the job. I'd kill for having Johns, Morrison, Rucka, Ross or Waid writing this. But, the story went through DC. Hopefully picked some LSD fumes from Morrison (btw, Final Crisis seems to be shaping up to be BETTER THAN WATCHMEN).

Gameplay itself seems to be the PS2 era MKs on steroids. Heavy steroids. The most EXTREME I've heard is someone saying it's easily his second favourite fighting game (the bad news is that the favourite is Capcom vs Marvel 2, which doesn't say good about taste). Nonetheless, the gameplay looks good. Only the fact that the animations have a lot of the same ones from the previous MKs is a letdown, since a lot of them don't fit DC characters at all. But the new fighting mechanics are very good it seems. Finally some good grapple mechanics.

Not to mention they've promised more characters as DLC (LOBO LOBO LOBO LOBO LOBO!!!), which will help with getting a lot of good DC characters missing in there. Particularly Martian Manhunter, Animal Man, Killer Croc, Sivana, Black Adam and more Green Lanterns (and of course, Lobo).




But a game that has Captain Marvel in it can't possibly be less than good or great.

 

[fastpunk]

I don't think I'll be buying many games as school is keeping me busy. Basically, I'm only looking forward to NWN2: Storm of Zehir and Tomb Raider: Underworld for the rest of this year.

 

[Naked Ninja]

SoZ
Farcry2
Fallout3


Maybe :

RA3
Deadspace.
Witcher EE

 

[DiverNB]

1. Storm of Zehir (if it'll be released in Poland at that time)
2. Age of Decadence
3. Perhaps King's Bounty but I have to play a demo first
4. I might also buy Gothic III: Forsaken Gods, but only if it won't be shitty as retarted G3. Though I don't believe it won't.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll score Codex Cool Points with someone.

I still can't believe I'm the only one looking forward to Saints Row 2, seems a lot like San Andreas with the amount of crazy activities.

 

[Darth Roxor]

seems a lot like San Andreas

Which is enough of a reason for me to not get it.

Shit used to keep me busy for hours.

 

[Hümmelgümpf]

Bought World of Goo today. So should you if you want to be cool.

 

[Brother None]

I might pick up Fallout 3. I dunno. My interest isn't high, but I can basically get it for free since either NMA or GB will compensate me for the costs of purchase. Can't really decide if it's worth it.

I already picked up Hinterland and World of Goo. Hinterland isn't all it could be, but World of Goo is fantastic (well ok I had WoG on pre-order already, but I only got it this month, so it counts).

 

[SimpleComplexity]

I ain`t buyin`if ya`catch my drift, mostly cuz` im out of mo`

But i would buy the following:
King`s Bounty
Far Cry 2
GTA IV (probably for november)

 

[Wyrmlord]

So everyone is buying Far Cry 2, then? Cool, so after we're all done with its SP, maybe the Codex can do a bit of Far Cry 2 MP.

You should totally do a Clark Kent LP.



Wait, don't.
