Title: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q1?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on January 30, 2010, 02:52:57 PM: Which is now the new QUARTER FOUR.

Everyone cool already picked up Mass Effect 2. I'm definitely nabbing Bad Company 2 and Super Street Fighter IV, but I'll fence sit on everything else. MAG looks pretty neat, though - what's the word from our Sony faithful?

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on January 30, 2010, 02:56:11 PM: Nothing but backlog.

I'll be renting most of the disc based games. I'll be buying a few XBLA titles like Rez, Virtual On, and After Burner Climax if it comes out this quarter.

Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q1?
Post by: iconoclast on January 30, 2010, 03:21:33 PM: Super SF4 is actually Q2 (April 27). I've already got Bayonetta, Mass Effect 2 and No More Heroes 2. Getting:

Yakuza 3
Final Fantasy XIII
Mega Man 10
Perfect Dark XBLA
Pokemon HeartGold
SMT: Strange Journey
Resident Evil 5 DLC
Sakura Wars, eventually
NeoGeo Battle Coliseum, Metal Slug 7 XBLA, and After Burner Climax if they're out

Not sure about:
Shiren the Wanderer
Monster Hunter 3
Bioshock 2

I'd also like to get Espgaluda 2 next month, but that doesn't seem likely at this point. I think all those games are Q1 anyway, haven't payed much attention to delays outside of Lost Planet 2 and Super SF4.

Not yet, but I'm sure it'll come over since all N1 stuff tends to and even 3d Dot Game Heroes is coming. The only question is if it'll be NIS or Atlus.

Yeah, forgot about this. Have it on pre-order but if it's not region free I probably won't be able to play it until I fix my J360 >_<
Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q1?
Post by: cool breeze on January 30, 2010, 03:56:19 PM: I only have Bioshock 2 ordered because I'm getting it really cheap from Amazon.

Considering God of War 3, Yakuza 3, Just Cause 2 and Bad Company 2. I think Bad Company 2 has the best chance of getting bought if there is a steam 4-pack deal and because it's a multiplayer game. I might finally get gamefly to check out some other ones.

Mostly just hoping to get games from last year cheap

Actually, Amazon sent me an email yesterday saying Mafia 2 was moved up to February. If that's true, then that is the second game I know I'm getting.
Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q
Post by: duckman2000 on January 30, 2010, 04:04:56 PM: Picked up far too many games already, only to sell them. I think the first game I'll buy to keep (for a while) will be Bad Company 2, and then God of War III after that. Won't have time to play games in Q2-Q3, so I guess that's it. Maybe Mass Effect 2, but I don't see myself having the time to really get into it.

It's out in May unless that changed
Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q
Post by: duckman2000 on January 30, 2010, 04:14:54 PM: Willco, I'd rent MAG. It's worth experiencing for sure, but I don't think I could recommend an outright purchase to anyone (especially not with Bad Company 2 just around the corner), expect maybe some dude who lives to play commander in games. It's functional, some people I know love it, it runs better than it has any right to do, but I for one mostly got a headache from it.
Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q
Post by: The Fake Shemp on January 30, 2010, 05:02:27 PM: Balls.

I'm on the fence about BioShock 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction, although I want to like both. I forgot about Afterburner and Perfect Dark Zero. I'll pick both of those up. Why are people seriously considering buying Final Fantasy?

There are a handful of titles that I'm interested in, but don't know how they'll pan out. Splinter Cell and BioShock 2 chief among them. Oh well.

I can only think of a Dragon Age expansion, hopefully Gears 3 is this year, and I suppose I'll get Halo Reach despite not really caring for its existence at this point.

Post by: Green Shinobi on January 30, 2010, 10:04:01 PM: So far I just bought Bayonetta. Mass Effect 2 will be the next one I get. I'm also thinking of picking up Darksiders at some point. Probably Bioshock 2 unless the reviews suck.
Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q1?
Post by: Trent Dole on January 30, 2010, 10:41:53 PM: There's not really anything on the horizon that has a must buy immediately status with me. I'm trying to resist snagging NMH2 but that probably won't last very long, and I'll get ME2 on the cheap in a few months. A 10 hour game is not really worth $60 to me. If FFXIII has a LE version in the US I might spring for that just for the hell of it since I have no deluxe versions ofgames unless you want to count the PSX remakes of Lunar 1 and 2 that Working Designs made nutso packages for but since those were the only versions of the gmes availabe I don't really count them.
Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q1?
Post by: demi on January 31, 2010, 12:55:46 AM: ME2 is hardly a 10 hour game, given the requirements to survive the last mission. Each mission is strictly unique as well.

Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q
Post by: The Fake Shemp on January 31, 2010, 01:38:20 AM: Mass Effect 2 is honestly a solid 25 - 30 hours, and that's not including multiple playthroughs and doing the mundane stuff (the tiny sidequests, mapping the galaxy, etc.).
Title: Re: Fuck sales, let's talk games (sorry Wii owners): what are you getting this Q1?
Post by: pilonv1 on January 31, 2010, 01:59:54 AM: Bioshock 2

SEGA Racing

That's enough for me. Steam backlog will do me fine for now.

Mass Effect 2 is honestly a solid 25 - 30 hours, and that's not including multiple playthroughs and doing the mundane stuff (the tiny sidequests, mapping the galaxy, etc.).

I completed most of the side-quests and the game itself in just under 19 hours, and I wasn't trying to speed through. However, anybody who thinks they'll play through Mass Effect 2 once is only fooling themselves. You'll get at the very least a solid 30 hours out of ME2, after all is said and done.

It's all a bit confusing. For my PC, 4x AA is better than 1 or 2, and another speed up is turning up AF to 8. Usually it is the opposite.

Post by: ch1nchilla on January 31, 2010, 06:48:33 AM: I probably won't end up getting a lot of these because my backlog is insanely ridiculous, but here's what I want to get (things with question marks are a maybe / probably not). I'm not even sure if all of these are this Q, but this is my list for games that have a release date because I was doing this anyway:
-FFXIII US (already bought J version)
-God of War 3
-Super Street Fighter 4 360
-Lost Planet 2 360
-Resonance of Fate 360
-Bayonetta 360
-Monster Hunter Tri

-RE5 DLC?
-Mass Effect 2?
-Tatsunoko vs Capcom?
-White Knight Chronicles Int'l?
-Yakuza 3?
-Sakura Wars?

He's wrong. But if you avoid doing the side missions and mining the planets, I can see the total playtime being only a little over 12 hours.
