    Zelda Skyward Sword, Starfox 3D and Mario 3D for me.

    Modern Warfare 3
    Space Marine, Deus Ex - HR and Skyrim for me.

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
    Just Battlefield 3 and Uncharted 3 for me and I've already pre-ordered and paid for BF3 on Origin so my winter gaming shouldn't be too expensive.
    For the first November in a long while I wont be getting Call of Duty. I'm breaking that addiction.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    After completing the first and loving every second, I'll definitely get Arkham City. Gears 3 is a maybe, in that I know what to expect but they are a "guilty pleasure".

    Dead Island looks like Fallout combined with Borderlands so I might just rent it. Rage had promise but it's Doom\Fallout with dune buggy racing.

    Deus Ex.............I'll have to see as well. I loved the pc games so the new one better do them justice..........or else! Or else what? Exactly.

    The rest can feck off.

    Well I still can't decide to kick off the gaming season with either Dead Island Or Deus Ex. Batman is an absolute must. Uncharted 3 for obvious reasons and then Ass Creed and Saints Row on the same day???? Santa's gonna have to make a stop to the local gameshop!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭Sabre0001


    So many that I want to get......Will prob have to make do with FIFA 12 for a little while.

    Dark Souls is the only game I'll be getting on release.

    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    I'm on the fence about Dead Island (leaning towards yes though) and hadn't been thinking about Deus Ex at all really and am even less inclined to spend any money on it after the news yesterday.

    Definites though:
    • Rage
    • Batman: Arkham City
    • Battlefield 3
    • Saints Row: The Third
    • Assassin's Creed: Revelations

    I can't decide which I'm looking forward to most because they're all ticking a different box in my gaming fun centres of the brain :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,954 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    Ya Shiminay, I honestly can't tell whats gonna get GOTY out of that lot alone, never mind the games at the start of the year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 301 ✭✭GarH


    Saints Row: The Third
    Pretty much all of them, except FIFA and Forza


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,506 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    Saints Row: The Third
    elder scrolls
    battlefield 3
    cod mw3
    uncharted 3

    i will probably buy a few more as well , but will be getting the above

    also will be getting the new zelda for the wii. that is what i am most looking forward to really.

    there are so many games all coming at the same time. going to be an expensive few months feeding my habit :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭VenomIreland


    Modern Warfare 3
    Deus Ex, Dead Island, Arkham City (although I still have to play the first, I've watched my brother play through it), Skyrim (I just hope it's not a letdown like Oblivion, which was still fun though) and Dark Souls (although Demon's Souls constantly kicks my ass).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,896 ✭✭✭penev10


    Modern Warfare 3
    Dark Souls and Uncharted 3 are pre-ordered but bar those I'm waiting on reviews of Deus Ex, Dead Island, Skyrim and Rage before I buy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    I'll be honest, my mate will buy almost all the games I want to play, I reckon i'll just split the cost or buy them off him when he wants to trade 'em in.

    Skyward Sword and Batman would be top of the list. I still haven't played Uncharted 2 or finished Gears 2 yet. Or Donkey Kong Country Returns!


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,012 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Dark Souls and DoDonPachi Resurrection are probably the "must-buys" for the remainder of the year for me, along with Uncharted 3 (a series I'd be surprised if anyone actively disliked), Skyward Sword and Arkham City.

    After that, all depends on funds at the time I guess. Wouldn't mind picking up a copy of Persona 2 PSP for the collection, and Gears of War is always a guilty pleasure. I have little to no interest in another military shooter, but Battlefield 3 does look more exciting than the norm. And I feel like I've invested so much time in Assassin's Creed it would be rude not to continue...

    Urghh, that's a lot of games :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,954 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    Do ye think the GOTY is in that list? The only other game I could think of released earlier that would be a contendor is Portal 2 but don't think it will win. I think officially Uncharted 3 will probably win it but personally out of that list, I think Batman is gonna be my GOTY.

    Surprised Saints Row 3 isn't doing better.

    Dark Souls isn't on the list so no :P

    Uncharted 3
    Will definitely be getting Batman and Assassins Creed. Will also pick up Battlefield 3 and Deus Ex, but will wait for the price to drop on those first.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 492 ✭✭Sl!mCharles


    Modern Warfare 3
    Ahh probably Deus Ex next week if reviews are solid, then BF3 & Skyrim when they come out :D. Would love to get Batman as well and Dead Island too (also depending on reviews) but man I just don't got dat paper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,411 ✭✭✭✭gimli2112


    Saints Row: The Third
    Resistance 3
    MW3
    UC3

    ???? anything with 3 in it.:rolleyes:

    Will probably pick up Battlefield 3 as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Saints Row: The Third
    Xenoblade tomorrow,
    Deus Ex: Human Revolution
    Fifa 12
    Rage
    Battlefield 3
    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    A couple of months ago I would have said Gears of War 3 too, but after playing Vanquish, I can't go back to the slow and dull pace of the game.

    As Retr0 said, you left out GOTY by not including Dark Souls.

    I'm in two minds about MW3, might wait a while before getting it.

    I plan on getting Dark Souls on release.
    From your list, I'll get BF3, U3 and Dead Island.

    Others I plan on getting are Ico/SotC HD, Oddworld: Strangers Wrath HD, Resistance 3, MGS HD and Child of Eden.

    I still have to pick up Shadow of the Damned and Alice: Madness Returns.

    Is demon souls really gonna be that good? Cuz I really can't afford to be adding any other games to my list :)

    Have you not played Demon's Souls yet? Seriously, get it. And then when Dark Souls comes out, get that too.

    Demon's Souls is pretty much stuck in my PS3 for the last few weeks(playing a lot offline for PBWT).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,954 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    No, never played it but always see it mentioned on these boards. Jaysus, another game i'll have to check out! Think it will go on the back burner til after Christmas tho.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,579 ✭✭✭BopNiblets


    Battlefield 3
    Deus Ex and Batman for sure, Battlefield 3 and Dead Island look interesting though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,266 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    Definitely: FIFA 12, Batman: Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Saints Row 3, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Resistance 3 and a couple of HD collections probably.

    Should keep me busy for about a year :D.

    Maybe: Driver and Dead Island.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 866 ✭✭✭LuckyFinigan


    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
    Uncharted 3 is a definite and possibly Rage if I have money when it comes out. Theres too many good games coming out this year, I can think of at least seven other things Id like to get if only I could afford them.

    Demon's Souls is pretty much the best game of this generation for me. If you can handle a challenge, and to be honest the games difficulty is blown way out of proportion, then it's a must buy. Don't listen to those tools from Giantbomb either that don't have a clue.

    Okay, just been reading up on Demons Souls and it sounds class! The MP bit of seeing ghosts of other players fighting and dying sounds mad. It looks like Oblivion with more sword chopping and less yapping, would that be correct? Wonder If I could pick it up cheap now.

    How long does it take to clear? Because there are one or 2 games coming out soon that I want to play :D


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,382 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    It's nothing like oblivion. Oblivion is a huge open world while Demon's Souls is a more linear and focused game. The game is very combat based.

    The game takes a while to clear, probably about 40 hours. Also the first level can take a while to beat until you learn how to play the game properly but it's worth it. Just remember you're going to die a lot but dying is part of the game and don't feel ashamed at getting help from the Demon's Souls wiki which is an invaluable source fo information!

    I've seen videos of it being cleared in an hour. Speed run by people who know the game inside out.
    But you would do well to get to the first boss in an hour.

    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    Right, i'll be getting them all bar Fifa.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - 26/08 - Going to wait for a few reviews before i pick it up, so not a release day purchase.

    Driver: San Francisco - 02/09 - I loved the previous Driver games, but again i'll be waiting a while before picking this up.

    Dead Island - 09/09 - Again, wait for a few reviews, not a release day purchase.

    Gears of War 3 - 20/09 - I'll wait a while to get this, as i only want it to complete the trilogy and finish the story, MP doesn't interest me in the slightest.

    Rage - 07/10 - Again, i'll wait a while to pick this up i'd say, but if i haven't picked up any of the previous games here, it may be a release day purchase.

    Forza Motorsport 4 - 14/10 - In 2 minds about purchasing this on release day, probably wont, but i will pick it up at some stage.

    Batman: Arkham City - 21/10 - I'll be outside the shop at 9am waiting for this.

    Battlefield 3 - 28/10 - Release day purchase for this.

    Uncharted 3 - 02/11 - See Arkham City

    The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - 11/11 - As above, but will take a back seat to MW3

    Modern Warfare 3 - 11/11 - I'll be waiting from 9pm the night before to pick this up at midnight launch. Considering i have 20+ days clocked into MW2 this was an obvious choice (i may even buy the prestige thingy :eek: )

    Assassin's Creed: Revelations - 18/11 - I'll pick this up on launch

    Saints Row: The Third - 18/11 - Pick it up on launch, going to be hard to decide to play this or AC:R first, if i can put MW3 down! :P

    An expensive end of year, not including xmas, but i've €600 saved for this! :D

    Also, with everyone going on about Demons Souls i may have to pick it up. One question though, is it like DMC?

    I'm fairly skeptical of dead island since no gameplay was shown in the trailer,(even though it's on YouTube somewhere).
    No Resistence three?Ah lads.
    Cool idea though.

    I picked the games that would have the majority going out to buy them and the poll definitely shows that, good mix of results there. I had more games added to that list but the poll would have been too big (thats what she said :(). I thought Resistance 3 is coming out after Christmas?

    Sonic generations im getting day 1

    In order of importance - Arkham City, Deus Ex, Uncharted 3, Skyrim, Gears 3 and AC Revelations are the essentials.

    Dunno if I'll have time to devote myself to Skyrim for a while, but I'm super excited about Deus Ex and Arkham City.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,805 ✭✭✭jammstarr

    Arkham City is the big one for the Autumn for me. Can't wait for it. Really excited about Battlefield 3 too.

    Uncharted 3, Assassin's Creed and Skyrim should keep me busy for the rest of the autumn!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    Assassin's Creed: Revelations
    Well have Deus Ex pre-loading for free (thanks Steam prize draws :D )

    Then gotta scratch together cash for Dead Island, Space Marine, Arkham City, AC:Revelations, Battlefield 3 (and the processor and MB upgrade needed), SR: The Third, Skyrim, might pick up RAGE, hopefully theres gonna be a demo. Also can add the various HD packages in there (MGS, Silent Hill, Z.O.E.)

    All that and Sony releasing the cheaper PSP, so probably get that and the PSP games Ive missed so far.

    And possibly a cheap Wii for Zelda and Xenoblade and the SMG games.

    :rolleyes:
