Why would I want to buy repackaged old games?

I was gonna get the GoW Collection, but will pass on it for now.  Bayonetta > *.

Still kind of interested in NSMB Wii.

I never played the original PS2 releases.

Correction: I played GoW1 but never finished it.  GoW2 came out when I was already done with last generation.

Why would I want to buy repackaged old games?

it's funny because all of the games on that list are very arguably "repackaged old games," not just GOW :lol

btw, I just realized that it's not just the next two weeks, these are pretty much the games for the rest of the year.  Off the top of my head, The saboteur and Zelda DS are the only two out in december.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on November 10, 2009, 05:42:15 PM
Assassin's Creed 2 is pretty much a pass for me. I could never get into the original, no matter how hard I tried. A pal of mine that has a review copy isn't too thrilled about it either.

Same here.  It's going to take a lot to convince me to try the sequel.  Already got tons of other stuff to play, so I don't really care.

I'm still on the fence about Left 4 Dead 2. I'm thinking about waiting until it drops in price, and maybe picking up Dragon Age for $40 on Black Friday. Between that, Borderlands DLC and Modern Warfare 2, I'll be set until Mass Effect!
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: bork on November 10, 2009, 06:18:12 PM
I probably won't get L4D2.  The demo was fun, sure, but I never played enough of the first game to warrant rushing out to get the second.  I think I'd rather get Borderlands first.
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: Jansen on November 10, 2009, 06:18:30 PM
just l4d2 for me. everything else for the rest of the year is in the rental category

Pretty much, yeah. None of those are a priority for me.

I don't know why, but God of War has never been my thing, and I don't feel like encouraging Sony down Nintendo's road of re-releasing every game on all subsequent systems. Still, that's not exactly a mean-spirited price, and the HD treatment may warrant it.

The others, yeah, more of the same, what? Go buy Brutal Legend and support something without a 2 or 3 or 6 on the end of it.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on November 10, 2009, 06:51:01 PM
I still need to get Batman.  I'm passing on MW2 because from what I've seen of it, it'll get the same amount of love from me as CoD4 did; aka, only two weeks worth.

Honestly, I don't really care about games this Christmas.  I want Batman, buy a few of the Fallout 3 DLCs, and I'll be set.
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: demi on November 10, 2009, 06:51:06 PM
Brutal Legend isnt a good game, though. Why would I buy a bad game?
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: iconoclast on November 10, 2009, 06:57:15 PM
You forgot the most important game of all. Dragon Ball Raging Blast. $50



But seriously, I'm probably getting L4D2 and MW2 for Christmas. Gonna pick up NSMB eventually, but my interest in Nintendo games is nearly non existent these days.

Also, Phantasy Star Zero US release :hyper

it will be less than $30 in january anyway

I'm so buying Dragon Ball Raging Blast when it's less than 20 dollars.
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: Bildi on November 10, 2009, 07:23:49 PM
DB looks pretty amazing but I suck at fighting games.  I'll probably pick it up cheap one day.
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: cool breeze on November 10, 2009, 07:34:49 PM
I tried the Raging Blast demo and it seemed like BT3 with less characters and slightly better graphics.

I also checked, and yeah, there really isn't anything else coming out this year.  Early 2010 will be insane, though.
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on November 10, 2009, 07:41:41 PM
Raging Blast is just Tenkaichi 4. Which is sweeeeeet.
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: iconoclast on November 10, 2009, 08:23:13 PM
Gamefly just sent me Raging Blast this morning. Gonna try to 1000 it within a few days, hope it doesn't take too long.

Gonna whoop some SSJ3 Vegeta asses with Videl. 8)
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: bork on November 10, 2009, 08:27:07 PM
Raging Blast has like 1/3 of the characters from the third game.   :-\  I liked the huge roster in the previous title.

Isn't Phantasy Star Zero supposed to be garbage?
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: iconoclast on November 10, 2009, 08:42:46 PM
I read mixed impressions about PS0. It's supposed to be closer to PSO than PSU, so that's good enough to get me to try it out. Plus online co-op should be cool.

Though I'm gonna drop it in a heartbeat when Phantasy Star Portable 2 comes out.
Title: Re: The next two weeks are crazy.
Post by: bork on November 10, 2009, 08:54:48 PM
Will download then.

PS Portable 2 I will probably buy.

Of course, it's not a turn-based oldskool Phantasy Star.

I just want AC2. I have the others I wanted. Going to wait it out for the price drop come January for most other new releases, maybe even for AC2. I have 3 games I just got from BB and amazon that could last me months. Combined with a backlog of RPG gmes to play and I'm on easy street until retirement in 2035.

Raging Blast has like 1/3 of the characters from the third game.   :-\

Which is fine, because 2/3 of that game's characters were useless anyway.

I actually liked it because it had characters from Dragon Ball you never see in the games, like the pedophile General Blue.

The only "new" character in Raging Blast is SSJ3 Vegeta, which is like, sure.

Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on November 11, 2009, 12:04:37 AM
I guess the character count doesn't matter to me because I really don't care about any of the characters. Halfway through the Frieza saga is all I've actually ever seen of the show. I just like the combat system.

Actually, forget the next two weeks, if you import games or play rpgs it's insane all the way through march.

November
----------
CoD MW2
NSMB Wii
GoW Collection
AC2
L4D2
Mushihime-sama Futari

December
-----------
Zelda
SH Wii
*Tales of Graces
*FFXIII

Jan
-----------
Bayonetta
*KH BBS
*DQVIr
*ME2
*EoE
NMH2

Feb
-----------
Bioshock2
SplinterCell5
JustCause2
DantesInferno

*games that will probably eat up 30-50 hours of your time alone

I'm sure there's even more stuff coming out in that period; those are just the one's I wanted to play but considering how they stuck them all together there's no way I'm playing even half of that.  Especially since I haven't played any of the Sept/Oct games since Demon Souls outside of Torchlight/Machinarium >____<

I can't wait for Mushihime-sama; by far my most anticipated game of this fall. Too broke to afford it till I get some Christmas money though. :gloomy

Any JBore play Phantasy Star 0? Is it worth picking up? I'm interested in playing the game locally with my wife.

I just downloaded the English version.  Will try a bit later.
