    From the top 4 i will buy "3" of them. Still on the fence with BF3's console version. If i had a kickass PC it would be my most anticipated game on the list. Ill pick it up with the release of Diablo 3 (My excuse to get a new PC :D)

    None are anywhere near as exciting as Dark Souls for me.

    is that a 3?


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,408 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    It's a 6 if you count the King's Field game and therefore twice as good :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,548 ✭✭✭Harps


    Not too bothered about any of those to be honest, Battlefield, GoW and Modern Warfare are all meh for me, dont have a ps3 so no Uncharted, never owned either Saints row game so not too excited but might check it out at some stage.

    I'll get Assassins Creed eventually but assuming its another AC2 with a few new features I'll wait a few months and pick it up cheap

    Deus Ex is the third one as well isnt it? Not played the 2nd but I'm definitely planning on getting Human Revolution if it lives up to my hopes

    The only one that might interest me there is Saint's Row, and only if there's a good demo, or I can have a go some other way and like it a lot. 2 was fun, but flawed so if they can make the right improvements I'd pick it up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,283 ✭✭✭Glico Man


    Battlefield and Uncharted are the only ones on my list. Played BFBC2 to death and loved Battlefield 2, so am really looking forward to that. Uncharted, more of the same brilliance as before plus more.

    Finances dictate whether I'll have a look at SR3. I loved SR2 so it'll obviously be more of the same over the top fun.

    Dark Souls, F1 and Batman are the only other games I'm budgeting for at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,202 ✭✭✭el dude


    Mass Effect 3.

    Not even a hard choice for me.

    Edit, release date is 2012 i see. Boo.

    You missed Resistance 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,006 ✭✭✭✭callaway92


    Uncharted 3. By a mile.

    Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 are already on my must buy list for the month of September, October and November along with Dead Island, Rage, Twisted Metal, The Darkness 2 & Skyrim not sure with Saints Row the 3rd yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,324 ✭✭✭chrislad


    Just Assassins Creed a definite for me. I don't play online so BF3 is a non runner. Probably rent it for the SP which is a bit of a laugh.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 are definitely my most looked forward to 3's. Dark Souls is my most looked forward to game (well, except Skyrim).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Mass Effect 3, Ass Creed 2.5 or whatever it is, and Uncharted 3. Not bothered with Modern Warfare or Battlefield.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,228 ✭✭✭Chairman Meow


    Yeah, pretty much everything pales into insignificance next to dark souls.
    Dark Souls & Alice: MR, my 2 games of the year. Everything else is just filler.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Everything this year is just noise to my until Skyrim gets released.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,019 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Catherine, Dark Souls and Uncharted 3 are my three must buys for the rest of the year. El Shaddai as well, probably, and I tend to find Gears of War a guilty pleasure for what it is (junk food).

    I'm sure Skyrim and Battlefield will be great, but they each belong to genres I don't get particularly excited about anymore.

    Most exciting of all though, are the unsubtle hints from Rising Star games that more Cave shooters - hopefully Akai Katana and Death Smiles 2 - will be out before years end. Everything else can **** right off if so :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,085 ✭✭✭Grumpypants


    I looked at that list and realized ill be getting them all, only one that's a maybe is MW3 but i guess ill have to play it once to review it, but i've no interest in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    Diablo 3
    BF3

    After that there can be a world flood I wont give two ****s....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭Gandalph


    I suppose you could say the 3rd installment of Knights of the Republic aswel

    only game that interests me sr3 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,455 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    Is there going to be another Dawn of War game this year? We already had the expansion Retribution earlier in February or so... bit of a short turnaround.

    I'll probably get Diablo III anyways. Kinda turned off Battlefield 3 by the DLC shenanigans, but I may pick it up in 2012 in a Steam sale or something.

    I've not played the Uncharted series, is it playable on the PC (and if so - properly using a mouse and keyboard) ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 916 ✭✭✭Bloody Nipples


    Uncharted 3 is the only 3 I'm planning on getting. Rest of the games I'm planning on splashing out on are Arkham City, Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 (which I'm mentally telling myself is a 2011 game to get over the trauma of postponement :o)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,823 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    This poll fails for not including
    Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    Half Life 3, oh, wait.

    You know what, I won't be buying any of those threes though I've pre-ordered Mass Effect for next year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Not much love for Saints Row 3 so far, it's going to be all kinds of awesome.

    Im just downloading SR2 at the moment. Looking forward to kicking its ass.

    SR3 is gonna be da bomb yo


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,408 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Looking forward to Saints Row 3. SR2 was great fun and showed GTA 4 how sandbox really should be done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,932 ✭✭✭YouSavedMyLife


    Looking at some of the posts you guys are making mentioning other games and i gotta say, the next 5 months are stacked! That assuming most of them meet their release dates. Hoping Diablo 3 makes it into 2011 but you know Blizzard.

  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 23,282 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kiith


    Diablo 3 has no chance of being released this year :(. Blizzard will take as long as they need, and it'll be early 2012 at the earliest before we see it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Uncharted, Modern Warfare, possibly Battlefield, Assassins Creed and Gears for me, byebye money


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    You can pre order Diablo 3...which may of given me false hope.

    BF3 for the PC, gears 3 just for the SP, then trade in and get MW3 for the SP. Then also trade in. I could lie to myself and say i'm going to avoid MW3 but i'll still get it anyway for a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,019 ✭✭✭KilOit


    Only have eyes for bf3 on that list, everything else I couldn't give a crap about


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,734 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Assassin's Creed 2 (Part 3) is the top one for me. But I'll also get Gears 3, Uncharted 3, MW3 and BF3. If I had to drop one of those though, it'd probably be MW3.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,734 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Also, it's unfair to call AC:Revelations an expansion pack. Would you call GTA:San Andreas an expansion pack of GTA:III? AC:Brotherhood introduced not only quite a few new features and gameplay changes, but also an entire (and very good) multiplayer mode.

    I'll be getting Gears 3, Uncharted 3 for sure.MW3 not a chance,i'll wait & see with Battlefield 3. I'm hoping Gary Busey is in Saints 3. As for another 3 after E3 i'm really worried for Mass Effect 3 next year that turrett section with the Reaper Base stunk of a Gears wanabee.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,131 ✭✭✭Azure_sky


    Street fighter 3:Online. FPS games...yawn. COD virtually plays itself. Gears has the most depressing visuals I've ever seen and is cumbersome and the Sims is for casual gamers. 2-D graphics + developed in Japan = win. :pac:
