i've barely scratched the surface of a lot of fall and winter games. the only one i've completed is Gears of War 2. lack of time is definitely the culprit. and persona 4 is out next week. needless to say, i've spent more time purchasing shit than actually playing it seems. :-\ i'm hoping things slow down around x-mas.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on December 04, 2008, 05:37:30 PM: yeah, there was way too much stuff this season

i finished BiA, COD, Fallout 3, and...that's it

RB2 I just play with friends, couldn't care less about SP mode

LBP got kinda difficult, so I'm gonna co-op through the rest of it sometime

GOW2 - sold it, not my cup of tea

I've played through all the L4D "movies" by myself, but it's not really a SP kinda game

Sonic I will gamefly and finish after the holidays

Just got R2 and Far Cry 2 today, will play some this weekend

I really want to play some more COD and L4D multiplayer before everyone moves on to the next thing

Post by: littlemathletics on December 04, 2008, 05:41:10 PM: I only just got my 360 back - it was away for 5 weeks being repaired, and pretty much broken for two months before that. So I've got a heap of shit to go through.

Post by: duckman2000 on December 04, 2008, 05:49:27 PM: MotorStorm 2 is a great pick up and play game, so that would probably fit in well.
Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: AdmiralViscen on December 04, 2008, 05:50:12 PM: I've miraculously been beating every game I buy. I still haven't tapped the full potential of Gears 2 or ME though, or maxed out Banjo XBLA.

I'm getting sick of the balance of Gears 2 multi so I think I'm gonna buy Resistance 2 tonight, which will join Sonic Unleashed as my unfinished shits of the season.
Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: Tieno on December 04, 2008, 06:00:04 PM: Finished and sold Fable 2
Played Fallout 3 for 45 hours, still have to beat a few missions.
Played and finished gears of war 2. Haven't replayed it, played a bit of horde.
Played a shitton of Mirror's Edge, finished the story mode 4 or 5 times. Unlocked all the time trials, have about 45 stars.
Seeing as my gold account is about to expire I'm probably not going to bother with Gears 2 and just keep playing Mirror's Edge.

That is all.

Not getting any games till KZ2 probably.

It's so weird to buy (multiple) games and not open them immediately and play them. If you're not going to play them for a while why not wait and have the chance to buy them at a reduced price or 2nd hand?
Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: cool breeze on December 04, 2008, 06:02:57 PM: Surprisingly not as bad as I thought it would be. Biggest two I haven't played yet are Far Cry 2 and Valkyria.
Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: archie4208 on December 04, 2008, 06:03:24 PM: Tales of Vesperia (just hit the
spoiler (click to show/hide)
ghost ship
[close]
)
The Last Remnant (haven't opened yet)
Far Cry 2 (will hopefully have a PC that can play the game after I finish those 2 jappa RPGs)

:/

Disappointing year confirmed.

it's the byproduct of getting some pretty nice discounts on the games. i'm a sucker for good deals.

Post by: Bebpo on December 04, 2008, 06:19:25 PM: PS3
----
Valkyria
Prince of Persia

X360
---
Last Remnant
Infinite Undiscovery
Fable 2
Fallout 3
Sonic Unleashed
Brothers in Arms 3

PS2
---
Super Robot Wars Z

Still, I actually finished most of the important games so I don't think I made out too bad. I'm mainly saving rpgs until 2009 because rpgs take FOREVER and I wouldn't get to anything else this winter if I was playing them.
Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: MrAngryFace on December 04, 2008, 06:26:55 PM: Valkyria Chronicles (Chapter 7)
Last Remnant (6-7 hours in)
Tomb Raider (a few levels in)
Persona 4 (soon)
Luminous Arc 2 (1/4th of the way through this)
Rock Band 2
Dead Space
Saints Row 2 (2 gangs down, 3rd half done)
Left 4 Dead
NWN2 Expansion

Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: tiesto on December 04, 2008, 06:28:05 PM: I have so many unplayed games at this point it's not even worth it to list them all. LOTS of PS1 and 2 rpgs at this point... I haven't even touched Vesperia yet, that's getting play after Mother 3.
Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on December 04, 2008, 07:12:11 PM: Finished

Mother 3 - Total shit, regretted playing it

Being Played

Dynasty Warriors Gundam - 43,000 kills, 62 missions. Going to get the 100k kill achievement. Probably won't be a while until I get that.
Ridge Racer 6 - Did three races total. I'd like to play more of this but school schedule is brutal.

In the Shrinkwrap

Blue Dragon - Will most likely play once finals are over with. I hate to play RPGs by little bits and pieces.
Sonic Unleashed - I'll play this when everything else is played. I don't expect anything really good from this game so who knows when I will feel like playing it.

====================================

Probably won't get any other games for the rest of the year. TBH, I only wanted to get one game at a time but seeing the prices for the other games, I bit.
Title: Re: Fall/Winter Backlog: How good or bad is it looking?
Post by: muckhole on December 04, 2008, 07:18:08 PM: I still haven't finished single player in Gears 2, Saint's Row 2, or even touched Fable 2. Fallout 3 is getting all my love at the moment.

:bow RR6. best next gen racer to date.

Post by: Bildi on December 04, 2008, 09:53:25 PM: I don't track my backlog, I track games I've finished as it's much easier.

I think Dead Space might be all I finished this year and I still have achievements to get.

:gloomy

What didn't you like about it? I'm in the middle of chapter 5 and I think it's damn good, but then again I love oldskool RPGs with 2D graphics, good music, and fast combat.
