Gaming is expanding,casual and core(much slower),isn't that what Nintendo wanted this gen?

Crying won't help now,adapt or prepare to see others taking money(people).Core gamers will be there,but only for core(content,content) games everything else will be met with...hmm,this shit is much cheaper on "insert platform here",not buying from you

Casuals,that audience must worry Nintendo,they will buy the hardware(when it gets cheaper),but software...tough times for expensive shovelware

it's not about crying. it's about standards.

now that people can get 1-2 dollar games off of the app store, why buy a full priced game? why even bother? when people start asking that, another gaming crash happens.

Looks like you're part of the problem.
Title: Re: Best Year Ever: Official Thread of 2011
Post by: Himu on March 08, 2011, 02:08:16 PM: 1. That post does not complain about casuals.

2. I still buy plenty of games new, but I also buy plenty of games used. Why buy Batman on day one new if I'm not sure if I'm even going to like it? Wait a year or two, and I can get it for 20 bucks new or used, but most likely used.

3. ??? 1-2 games is not the thing as getting a used game.

Title: Re: Best Year Ever: Official Thread of 2011
Post by: Himu on March 08, 2011, 02:11:20 PM: Who doesn't buy games used? It's a huge money saver, especially in this generation where games rarely ever drop in price. If you buy every game at full price, even old games, something is probably wrong with you.

I'm not seeing your argument and I'm esepcially not seeing how it correlates to 1-3 dollar bite sized games in contrast to 20-60 "full sized" games.

Next thing you'll be telling me is that I have to venture outside to acquire these so-called 'used games'.
Title: Re: Best Year Ever: Official Thread of 2011
Post by: Himu on March 08, 2011, 02:18:16 PM: same. if it's not a priority, I don't buy it at full price, but if used is considerably cheaper, I'll definitely snag it, but usually games that sell well. i try to never get a used copy of something that's not doing well like ghost trick or ys. I bought demon's souls used because it was doing so well. fuck it.

This. I don't buy used games unless I can't find the game new, and in this day and age, that pretty much never happens anymore. I also avoid brick and mortar stores as much as possible. Especially Gamestop.

I'm kicking myself for having bought Bulletstorm for full price a few weeks ago, when Amazon was selling it for $40 yesterday.

Some kinda beloved JRPG sub-series that never saw release in English before due to its massive script and being-on-pspness. It's known for having an absurdly heavy amount of text and boring politics of war type stuff combined with a grandia-like combat system.

In other words, it's your golden ticket, himu-chan.

I played some of those ones from Bandai [there were boring and bland], which is why I was pretty hesitant about Trails in Sky. But everything I've heard as that this game is actually really good. I'll have to pick it up sometime then.

trails in the sky has nothing to do with the three legend of heroes remakes, and i have no idea why they didn't just eject that title altogether

I don't know either, if anything it actually hurts the game's chances of selling.

Oh, I'll be building a newer computer and by all accounts it'll run BF3 well so I'm sure it'll run Skyrim just fine. I guess it really comes down to which platform has the best deal at the time of purchase. By default the PC version is $10 cheaper so we'll see.

No it won't. (http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Pc/dp/B004HYIAPM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=software&qid=1307733542&sr=8-1) On the plus side, Skyrim should be a Steamworks game since all of Bethesda's recent titles (except Hunted) have been.
Title: Re: Best Year Ever: Official Thread of 2011 [Now Showing: June]
Post by: Great Rumbler on June 10, 2011, 03:25:03 PM: Yes, unfortunately Bethesda has hopped on the "PC games for $60" bandwagon. Rage is also $60 on PC, but I found a nice deal on D2D to get it for $45, which was great since it's a Steamworks game.

Post by: ch1nchilla on June 14, 2011, 10:37:18 AM: This year's shopping list is ridiculously epic, and I don't see any way to cut it down (other than the fact that my 'maybe' section = 'no')... gonna have to mount up and start making proper scrilla:

Quote
Hardware:
-Sony Vita 3G all over my body
-White PSTriple 320GB (my original 40GB jump-off just isn't pulling its weight anymore. also, I want a Japanese DVD player)

The yes:
-Child of Eden PS3
-Dark Souls PS3
-Final Fantasy XIII-2 PS3
-Final Fantasy Type-0 PSP
-Gears of War 3 360
-Ico / SotC Collection PS3 (dat J-edition)
-Metal Gear Solid HD Collection PS3 (is ZOE dropping this year? If so, copping that too)
-Monster Hunter 3rd Portable HD PS3 (and probably Vita)
-Resident Evil Code Veronica + 5 Collection PS3
-Skyrim PS3
-Skyward Sword Wii
-Torchlight 2 Mac
-Twisted Metal PS3

-Vita launch titles (guessing Mingol, Ridge, Hustle Kings, Uncharted, Wipeout, Gravity, Ruin)

Maybe aka No or will borrow:
-Ace Combat PS3
-Alice: The Madness Returns PS3
-Halo Remake PS3
-Ni no Kuni PS3
-Shadows of the Damned 360 or PS3, depending on what lead was
-Yakuza 4 PS3

Modified to remove Anarchy Reigns. Gonna go back and add release dates soon so I can budget this ridiculous amount of shit out. Smh.

Title: Re: Best Year Ever: Official Thread of 2011 [Now Showing: June]
Post by: Great Rumbler on June 14, 2011, 01:16:38 PM: Definite buys:

-Batman: Arkham City
-Rage [already bought, actually]
-Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-Skyrim
-Saints Row: The Third
-Dark Souls

Still wait-and-see on a few others.
Title: Re: Best Year Ever: Official Thread of 2011 [Now Showing: June]
Post by: Bebpo on June 14, 2011, 03:56:42 PM: Rest of the year:

Shadows of the Damned
Dungeon Seige 3
Devil Survivor 2
Black Rock Shooter - The Game
Tales of Xillia
Super Robot Wars OG3
Resistance 3
Uncharted 3
Dark Souls
Twisted Metal
Batman AC
Ico/SoTC remasters
MGS remasters
FFXIII-2

Maybe Gears 3. Probably will wait it out for a price drop or two. If Vita comes out I'll grab that and most of the launch lineup since it's franchises I dig (Golf, Uncharted, Wipeout, Ridge, LBP, Siren team).

Way too many games coming out. I still haven't played most of fall 2010's titles, let alone spring 2011's. Will buy and backlog most of that. But will make some time for Xillia, Uncharted, Dark Souls and FFXIII-2 at least.
Title: Re: Best Year Ever: Official Thread of 2011 [Now Showing: June]
Post by: iconoclast on June 14, 2011, 04:28:51 PM: Might as well put together my buy/rent list for this year as well:

Buy:
-Dark Souls
-Catherine
-Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon
-Otomedius Excellent (probably not day one tho)
-Ico & Shadow of the Colossus
-King of Fighters XIII
-Metal Gear Solid 2, 3, Peace Walker

Kinda interested, but I could probably skip these and not really care:
-The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
-Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
-Serious Sam 3
-Guild Wars 2
-Gears of War 3
-Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
-Sonic Generations
-Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
-Rage

Rent:
-Duke Nukem Forever
-Child of Eden
-Alice: Madness Returns
-Shadows of the Damned
-Silent Hill: Downpour
-Batman: Arkham City
-The Darkness 2
-Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Not sure if I want to rent or buy El Shaddai yet. I'd be better off renting it, but I'd rather support a game like that by buying it. Skyrim looks okay, but since it's a WRPG, I'll wait until next year for the complete version before playing it. And I think that covers it for retail games.

Post by: naff on June 14, 2011, 09:54:24 PM: If it's released in the west by the end of the year, PS Vita, Day 1.

Probable day 1 buys, in order of importance
- Skyrim (PC most likely, or 360 if my lappy won't handle it well)
- Dark Souls. Probably PS3, since Demons Souls used SCEs PhyreEngine I'm anticipating a better PS3 release and possible Vita integration
- STARHAWK
- Wipeout 2048
- Battlefield 3 (360)
- From Dust (360)

Yeah that's it. I have no interest in getting most games day 1

Will def purchase sometime... Maybe not this year though

- Deus Ex (360)
- MGS Collection (PS3)
- Arkham City (360)
- Uncharted 3
- ICO/SOTC
- Everybodys Golf Vita
- Torchlight 2 (mac)
- Ms Splosion Man

Might buy, or just borrow off friends or rent. Not sure

- Catherine
- Shadows of the Damned
- Rage
- Saints Row 3
- FFXIII-2
- Forza 4
- Child of Eden
- Red Orchestra 2

Definite rentals
- Sonic Generations
- Modern Warfare 3
- Ace Combat
- Dead Island
- Resistance 3 (unless I get that PlaystationTV bundle)

Post by: ch1nchilla on September 01, 2011, 04:11:45 PM: September Shopping List gogogo:

Already bought:
-PS3 Slim 320 GB black (giving my original PS Triple to my girlfriend for the purpose of monster hunting on the netz)
-Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD

Incoming:
-Dark Souls (depending on whether or not I get the JP version, this may come in October instead) PS3
-Gears of War 3 360
-Ico / Shadow of the Colossus JAPAN MEGAPACK PS3
-Resident Evil HD Collection PS3

This year is going to be brutal, this month alone was pretty expensive, but I'm glad I could knock out one of the two hardware items I plan on getting this year in terms of games, the other being a Vita. (Also gotta buy iPhone 5 and MacBook Air if possible)

Post by: chronovore on October 07, 2011, 06:55:33 PM: Actually, that is a little worrisome. It's not like they didn't sell a lot of Dead Rising 2, including the XBLA titles, but is Off the Record being sent to die?

It's hard to see it selling well at all: a re-hash in practically the same world as its predecessor, sent out against all this AAA stuff?

Maybe but I have to assume this wasn't an especially high budget effort. Fast turnaround. Reusing assets, etc.

There's new content and features. It's also $40.

Continue being ignorant tho, Count Chocula. Thx

There's new content, in that there are new combo weapons. There's a little bit more real estate, with an added section of the mall. But new features? Are you just referring to the return of Frank's photojournalist gameplay from DR1, or does the missing online count as a new feature, bear greaser?
