im thinking (hoping) this Q4 will be less painful on my wallet than last Q4

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #4 on:** August 17, 2008, 11:33:29 AM »

This semester has much busier than I expected. Might just get one title for each system to limit myself from playing too much. Will definitely pick up Gears 2 and Red Alert 3 though.

Fall is going to be insane. Worst day is Oct 21st since it has Fable 2, LBP, Dead Space, Far Cry 2, and Castlevania Order of E. I wish they would spread this shit out a bit better.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #6 on:** August 17, 2008, 11:45:21 AM »

add in mercenaries 2 (8/31) and from the abyss (8/26)

after that, october is MONIES CRY TIME with fable 2, saints row 2, castlevania ooe, and dead space :'(

muckson · « **Reply #7 on:** August 17, 2008, 11:51:48 AM »

i was gonna get infinite undiscovery on release day (or the closest day i could get to the store) but then i found out about rico and ruccha, the twins. after dealing with the twins from ff4, then even worse the kids from lost odyssey, i'm not so sure about this. they might be annoying enough to ruin the game.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 17, 2008, 01:36:23 PM »

I'm going to be renting games like mad this Fall. The only three games that I know for a fact that I'm buying are Resistance 2, Gears of War 2 and MotorStorm 2. Fall of sequels.

cubicle47b · « **Reply #9 on:** August 17, 2008, 01:38:15 PM »

I'm getting

Dragon Quest IV
Chrono Trigger DS
Wrath of the Lich King
Rock Band 2

Do you even play 1/2 the robot games you buy? Or do you just buy them for the cover art?

Thank gyllengod gaming continues to bore me. Only three games.

WrikaWrek · « **Reply #19 on:** August 17, 2008, 07:31:09 PM »

This and that, sure, a dozen of them. etc etc etc

Bottom line is. I really wanna play Wanted, the gameplay they showed rocked, awesome graphics, framerate, curve the bullet, i can't wait.

cool breeze · « **Reply #20 on:** August 17, 2008, 07:39:07 PM »

Is Wanted coming out this year? The footage on gametrailers did look great. It looks like it is between Gears and Max Payne.

ferrarimanf355 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 17, 2008, 07:57:33 PM »

Midnight Club LA and possibly LBP is what I'm looking for.

I think so yeah. At least that's what some game release list said, i believe the dude at GT said that too.

Does anyone use Gamefly? how reliable is the service? do you normally get the game in the mail the day it comes out? I am trying to find another way to lessen the wallet rape I suffer every year, and games like Mercenaries 2 don't seem like they are worth keeping for the long term.

double post

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #25 on:** August 18, 2008, 11:04:31 AM »

my fall list is actually pretty sparse:

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
King's Bounty: The Legend ( going to compete with Sins for strategy goty)
Hinterland (city-builder rougelike from Tilted Mill)
NWN2 Zehir Expansion

Warhammer is going to be an insane timesink so I'm not getting hyped up about too many other games this year. However, the other ones I did list hit the genres I dearly love and just can't be ignored. I do wish there was an A-grade naval or air sim coming out this fall, I generally like one of those a year and nothing this year has really scratched that itch.

UnoIllNino · « **Reply #26 on:** August 18, 2008, 11:10:02 AM »

Shit man. I don't even know what games I'll actually be buying. I'm trying to kind of ignore the release list because just the "big ones" are already enough for me to go broke.

Resistance 2
Gears of War 2
Fable 2
MotorStorm 2
(fuck there's a lot of 2's in here so far)
Little Big Planet
Street Fighter 4
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise

That's probably just half of them. Then there's a bunch more that I want to play, but am not sure I want to buy. Turn a few of those "rents" into "buys" and the list grows even more.

Blaaah.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #27 on:** August 18, 2008, 01:32:01 PM »

There's several major titles I'm interested in releasing in September.
Lego Batman
Wario Land Shake It
Star Wars Force Unleashed
May very well be the first time I buy a 360 game full price at launch. Still don't have Lego Indy and both it and Batman will get cheaper eventually so I think the bat is going to be on hold. Wario is going to be $50 for all eterntiy because Nintendo are dicks so that is in the running but I think Force Unleashed is what is going to get my monies.

How's your current PC? You could save close to $100 by getting the PC versions of those multiplatform games.

Now I'm buying four games before the year is up. :'(

That's a decent rig. You can run most games at fairly high settings if you get a 8800GT. You can probably find one for $100 now.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #35 on:** August 18, 2008, 05:56:06 PM »

really? i thought i'd be hampered by the processor

and i only need to run games at 1366x768 (if the game offered that setting) to get the full effect - I have my PC hooked up to my LCD HDTV

Thankfully I have a lot of free birthday money and work money to spend.

I'm only buying 2 games releasing this fall, though. The rest of the games I'm buying come from clearance sales.

I love Gamefly. So far the service has been great. The only down side is the long delay between returns, but I live in bumfuck Georgia so that could explain it. It takes about 3 days to get new games. And you get them reliably as long as you don't have any games rented out and have the new game you want at the top of your queue.

If you wanna sign up let me refer you so I can get $20

cool breeze · « **Reply #39 on:** August 18, 2008, 07:06:42 PM »

I would be fine with doing the whole referral thing, but I already have an account at gamefly from a few years ago. I just did the free trial thing and played a bunch of old games, but never tried it with new games or actually paid.

siamesedreamer · « **Reply #40 on:** August 18, 2008, 07:31:02 PM »

I added up my wanted games this fall and it totaled $999.83 (minus taxes).

Needless to say the wife ain't gonna have that.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #41 on:** August 18, 2008, 07:51:09 PM »

I pretty much used to consider myself lucky in that the only store that I used to have for games up north was a Wal-Mart, but they built and opened a Gamestop in the span of a week this past week up here now, so I have lots of games to catch up on, and now can get all those inane jap games that people rave about now.
