Your 'to buy' list

Archive: 46 posts


I was just looking at the release schedule for the PS3 and decided to take a note of what games I`ll be buying this year, to see how much I`ll be spending etc and thought it might be an idea to see what everyone else will be getting.

InFamous: I think it looks really good. The open city + super powers just clicks with me for whatever reason and I`ll be getting this on day one.

Prototype: Same as above really! It`s the spiritual successor to Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and that game was great fun so this one goes on the list too.

Ghostbusters: I might wait for reviews of this one before I buy it, as I`m scared it`ll suffer from the movie licence curse. However it does look awesome and even of the gameplay is only average, I`m sure the writing will lift the game up to a higher standard.

Batman Arkham Asylum: Wasn`t the slightest bit interested until I saw the recent video with Batman hiding in the shadows and planning out attacks rather than just beating everyone up left right and centre.

Modern Warfare 2: The first one introduced me to online play and I think it may well be my most played game ever. Evolution rather than revolution required here and if it`s anything less than incredible I`ll cry.

Heavy Rain: Might turn out to be crap, in which case I`ll give it a miss, but I really like the idea and hoping they can make a game that lives up to their ambitions.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves: This is my most wanted. I loved the first and the footage from the second so far looks amazing, despite being shot on a camera phone. Can`t wait!

There are a few others that I'll probably pick up used, or when the price drops like Wolverine, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and Ooperation Flashpoint 2.


What will you be picking up in the near future?

Well, here goes, eh?

InFamous: Electricity makes such a cool super power. I like the karma system in this one.

Prototype: I was sold on this when I saw the "Top 10 Reasons You Need Prototype" video.

Ghostbusters: It's Ghostbusters!

Brutal Legend: This one looks interesting. Tim Schafer's games are pretty fun, so I have high hopes for this one.

Uncharted 2: I loved the first one, and the second one looks even better.

Excitebots: Super sandwich!

Fat Princess: This will be fun for multiplayer.

The Legendary Starfy: I've been waiting for this series to come out in the states for what seems like ages!

Fez: This one reminds me of Cave Story a little bit, with a touch of Echochrome.

Ugh, I can't think of any more at the moment... I know there are more on my to buy list, though...

Don't Yell at me for this one:

Killzone 2. Yep, still haven't got it. Yet, I don't really care. I'm too addicted to LBP and Pokemon

I want a DS for the new Pokemons (stupid slow laggy emulators!)

InFamous:
I blame the Karma trailer. It looked awesome!

Brutal Legend:
Tim Schafer is awesome. Psychonauts was easily the BEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED, too bad my copy broke. Anyone who didn't buy it deserves to burn.

WHITE KNIGHT CHRONICLES!!!
I was one of those kids who likes First Person Shooters, but now it's just getting ridiculous. Game developers: You will never recreate Halo. Never. This game sounds awesome, though. I could see myself really getting into it. Hm...All this RPG talk has me wanting to go beat FFXII.

Final Fantasy XIII
This is still a "maybe" for me. It looks a lot like an action game.

Borderlands
This will be an awesome game. Not sure if it will come out this year, but it will be awesome. Remember when we're all playing 4 Player Co-op in a high speed Mad-Max style car chase to thank me.

And... that's about it. Most other games I buy a little bit after they come out or only get hyped for right before they come out. I might have to buy some old games. Never played any Team Ico games...

Actually i'm tired of JRPGs. I once loved them but pretty much didn't like any since FF9. I LOVE SRPGs though. I'm a total Fire Emblem madman.

I'm interested in Brutal Legends just because I have high respects for Tim Shafer. But this time since the game is more like some beat 'em up, it doesn't hit my heart like Psychonauts did...

Okay, I love cute little games like Fat Princess, it reminds me of Castle Crashers for the 360, except it's more multiplayer friendly, day one buy if it's 15 and under, which it probably will be since it's a PSN game.2009-04-15 07:36:00

InFamous: Same reasons as earlier peeps
Prototype: OH COME ON COULD A GAME LOOK MORE AWESOME
MadWorld: I need a good Wii Title, and this looks sweeeet
Resistance: Retribution: The other games were awesome, and I just saw a review of this; if it's anything like the other games, it's a must-buy.

Monster Hunter 3 (Wii): I'm still addicted to MH Freedom 2, so this is gonna be sweet (even if it is on Wii)

OH OH OH! Oh my god. Anyone here get Game Informer? While I usually hate the magazine, they ALWAYS manage to get the best exclusive stuff...which is weird. Probably because you can get a 12 month subscription for like, 5 dollars, but this issue they talked about Assassin's Creed 2. It looks soooooooo good! GRR!!!

I hope it comes out this year, but it probably won't. It COULD though.

Uncharted 2: Loved everything about the first game and love Naughty Dog so definite buy.

GOW3: Won't be out this year but first day buy when it comes out.

Pixeljunk Eden Encore: Still playing through the original but playing it a lot more frequently lately. Excellent game, very original and stays fresh especially if you play it like I have and get all Spectras and seeds in a Garden before moving onto the next one. Can't wait to see what the surprise is when you get all the spectra. Supposedly it completely changes how you play the game so that playing it all over again will be fun.

Assassin's Creed 2 if it comes out this year. I think there's a decent chance of that.

Infamous: Never played the Sly series, really regretting missing out on them now. Game looks very good, not quite as fun as Prototype, the pace seems slower but I don't mind that. The world looks excellent, the gameplay looks fun and well designed and the boss in one the vids looked excellent. Almost definitely picking it up.

Prototype: Looks very hectic, fast-paced and fun. Very high on my list. My only concern is that it will get repetitive. Also I heard that you start the game with all powers (ie. in the future) and then go back to the beginning. I absolutely HATE that.

Batman: Really looks excellent. Love stealth games so this should satisfy that need easily. Also the hand-to-hand combat looks great. Looking forward to it but might not buy it straight away.

May get Fat Princess if funds allow but I'm not big on MP games so might skip it. I'll see.

Also still need to pick up RE5 and may end up getting Riddick.

Oh wait forgot The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf. Should be excellent!

And almost definitely getting Trine, it looks fantastic!

Bioshock 2: I've read lots about this game, and I'm pretty sure I'll prefer this one to the first.

Batman Arkham Asylum: Basically, I like what I've heard and seen.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves: It's hard to not buy this game, especially after you've experienced the thrill of the first.

Overlord II: You probably haven't heard of this one, but I beat the first game, therefore I have to play the second.

lol, nothing is "needed" outside vital stuff...

Just meaning that if there's DLC your should buy in your life it's the MGS pack. It's just that the content it gives (especially if you like to create) is very very very useful. In overall, it's ridiculous underpriced compared to any other DLC for any game to date. Scratch that, it's the only DLC that has been priced right since the beginning of time. Everything out here is clearly overpriced bull...

I'd have to agree with RZ. I never bought DLC in my life before the MGS pack, it's $ - new content ratio is pretty good.

Although I guess it's a bit moot since you can play with the paintinator even if you don't have it... it's mostly for creators and loners who like the MGS pack levels (I thoroughly enjoyed playing them alone and local MP)

Well I might get Infamous but it's looking pretty average and prototype is looking even worse. I haven't seen anything but just mindless destruction in these games but at least Infamous has a character development and tactics (i.e need for electricity) whereas Prototype is just a godmode game which doesn't appeal to me.

Ghostbusters has been described as Gears of War light

Batman looks pretty bad as well since it'll probably be very repetitive but I might rent it.

Cod MW2 I won't buy unless it has a zombie mode since I'm personally not a fan of Cod's rather tiresome gameplay with everyone out for themselves.

Heavy Rain looks like a rental since I don't see any repeating it or I will be able to repeat it with a 2 day rental.

Thought that was next year; probably


Just been reading some old OPM mags and apparently Infamous has a detective side to it as well(if it's still there) so Batman is completely off the list and Infamous is looking like a buy.

The problems I see with MAG are:

- Getting 256 people online at the same time
- Getting 255 people online who aren`t idiots

I like online gaming. But you only have to read the comments in your LBP levels, play Ken 40 million times in SFIV, watch players spawn camp with a rocket launcher in KZ2 and swear as someone team kills for a laugh on CoD4 to see that online games live and die by who plays them.
I can play the games I mentioned with friends without any problems and with the bonus of avoiding the net morons. With MAG however, you will have no choice but to play with strangers. You might get lucky when you play CoD4 and you get 12 guys who will play properly. You will never get 256 people playing online without some ruining it for everyone else.

Hmm, I just don't agree with this really. First off, 256 people will be pretty easy. Every time i check LBP it has between 4000 and 10000 online at one time. So that's at least 16 games at one time online.
Also, the game is just kill the opponent, so there's not really much to be spoilt. The maps will be big enough to outsmart campers etc, and even in smaller games (such as CoD4) i rarely come across players ruining it for others. The closest thing to compare MAG to atm is Warhawk, and i never had a single experience of someone ruining it for others.

Yeah but there will be different modes. Capture flag, team death match etc so the numbers will be spreading out. Plus LBP sold 2 million copies so far, so there are a lot of folk to choose from.

If there is a way for people to ruin the game, they'll find it. Whether it is glitching out if the map, spawn camping, killing team mates or whatever, you can be rest assured folk will exploit something. With 256 people playing the one game, the chances of you having a moron in your team will be a lot higher than usual.

I will agree that Warhawk doesn`t have folk ruining it so we can all hope it`s like that. However I would say that MAG`s closest relative right now is SOCOM as it`s by the same people. by most accounts that`s pretty duff so I`m not getting my hopes up yet.
