What games are you going to buy for the rest of the year... I know it's going to be an expensive one for me anyway.

Modern Warfare 2
Fifa 10
Uncharted 2
DJ Hero

and if they're out:
MAG
Grand Turismo 5

What are you buying?

NotorietyH · 31-07-2009 12:02pm

Batman Arkham Asylum's my next purchase.

Uncharted 2, probably Ratchet and Clank. Might hold off on Modern Warfare 2 for a while.

Huh, I thought there was a load of games I couldn't wait for this year, turns out it's just one or too. I think I just heard my wallet give a sigh of relief!

nedd · 31-07-2009 12:27pm

COD:MW2.
Uncharted
Assasins Creed 2 could be good (assuming its not as repetitive as part 1)

noodler · 31-07-2009 12:32pm

Hmm I have to finish Uncharted (finding it a chore).
I just bought Oblivion GOTY and am looking forward to that.
MGS/BF1943/COD4 online.

Not sure about PS3 purchases. Maybe COD5, maybe I wil try R&C, GTA4 and Batman looks excellent.

I will defo get Fallout 3' DLC at some point - prob via GOTY edition cos I reckon we are going to get fleeced online for it. I am also going to have to try Bioshock.

I will also get Fat Princess soon cos it looks ace.

On the PSP I have MGS: PO to finish, CC to finish, and Jeanne D'arc to start. I also want to get FF Tactics.

ON PS2:
Have to finish Persona 4 as well.
Start Rogue Galaxy.
Start Odin Sphere (maybe).

CyberWaste · 31-07-2009 1:22pm

wardides · 31-07-2009 1:26pm

most likely just fifa 10..maybe cod but got very bored of world at war

Snakeblood · 31-07-2009 1:27pm

Uncharted 2 is the only thing that I'm 100% getting. After that, possibly the Batman game depending on reviews, probably Modern Warfare 2.

Huh. I used to be a lot more into games.

Oh, Assassin's Creed 2, but the reviews will have to tell me that they fixed all the rubbish stuff.

World at War wasn't done by the guys who made Modern Warfare. It's the difference between hacks working to a formula and artists.

Borderlands
IL2 Sturmovick - 'cos I love flight sims

Batman Arkham Asylum and Uncharted 2..

I've enough games to keep me going til xmas.

Haven't even got into Prototype or Fallout 3 yet. Far Cry 2 either so that's enough til after xmas

Then probably get COD6 and Dirt2

Don't quite know why people base their purchases on reviews either.... the reviewer might not like the game but you might. Rent, then buy if you like...simples

Damien360 · 31-07-2009 7:19pm

Modern Warfare 2
Fifa 10
Uncharted 2

That is exactly what I am planning this year although Uncharted 2 might get the chop depending on funds.

I assume like me they read more than one review. I read as many reviews as I can find. I usually go to metacritic, read the most positive, the most negative, and a few in between to get an idea of if I'll like the game or not. One reviewer might bring up something that annoys me in games, that another reviewer would ignore because they don't mind and all that. Generally gives me a good enough idea about whether or not I'll like a game. If I'm on the fence, then I may rent it. No point spending even €8 renting a game I'll more than likely hate.

McGrath5 · 01-08-2009 12:24am

- Uncharted 2
- Modern Warfare 2
- GT5 (hopefully if it's released before christmas)

There the games i'm definitley going to buy.

Gunmonkey · 01-08-2009 10:58am

Since I just got a PS3 recently I have to flesh out the back catalogue but on the horizon:

-Batman: Arkham Asylum (fighting looks a bit repetitive and one-buttonish but rest of teh game looks ace)
-Uncharted 2 (playing the first one now, funny but combat can be annoying)
-Darksiders: Wrath of War (was a bit meh on this before but the more I watch the better it looks)
-Assassins Creed 2 (I liked the first one so was a no-brainer for this one)
-Borderlands (art style looks good, co-op focused games are always good, plus it has 87 bazillion guns)

Find a reviewer whose opinion you respect.

noodler · 01-08-2009 2:19pm

Its not like I am not guilty of it myself to some extent, but looking at this thread it is clear why some publishers don't take enough risks and we get inundated with sequels.

C'est La Vie!

Kev_ps3 · 01-08-2009 5:38pm

Bioshock 2
Modern Warfare 2
Uncharted 2
PES 10
FIFA 10
Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising (depending on reviews)

Yeah but you could argue that when you're trying to decide which games to buy this far in advance, you're going to gravitate towards franchises that you've already enjoyed in the past and are familiar with. I imagine I may pick up a new IP here and there, but it'll be more of a week before it comes out to few weeks after type decision. Like Dead Space was for me last year. Dead Space 2 on the other hand I already intend to buy whenever it comes out!

noodler · 01-08-2009 6:19pm

I guess thats true enough too. I mean I didn't know much bout Valkyria Chronicles before it was out.

People (me included) will probably buy more sequels etc still though, sales figures will tell you that. I just don't think it's quite as overwhelming as this thread makes it look.

Part of the problem is that most games are sequels or part of a franchise because games are so expensive to make and they try to go for the same winning formula each time. So we don't have much of a choice really. Much like Hollywood.

So games companies are sitting there thinking "Wow, they sure do love sequels," and we're sitting here thinking "Wow, I really wish I could buy something besides a sequel!"

I thought of one original IP I'm almost certainly going to buy though, Brutal Legend.

Pretty much what I was saying alright...

I tought Fallout would be a smller IP and I intended to get that early on but then EG, among others, made it their GOTY.

Liathroidi Dana · 02-08-2009 1:09am
