What is Santa bringing you gamers this year ? :D

Lighthearted thread seeing as it's the silly season..
What's Santa bringing you all ?

Just in the process here of finishing my New Master Race PC but am tempted to pick up a Wii U now that they've dropped to a reasonable price (If only to see what ZombieU is like.

Picked up Metro Last Light too to play over Christmas.

Santa (aka my wife) is brining me Pokémon X, so I'll spending Crimbo being dreadfully anti social!

degrassinoel

i'll just splurge on the inevitable steam sale all through Christmas and probably end up resubbing to wow after a year off, out of boredom

chrislad

The Zelda 3DS XL with the new Zelda game. I originally had a PS4, but I don't have the time to sit down and play games of that kind right now, so light bursts of Zelda (and the free Super Mario Land 3D) will do nicely.

Banjo

Hopefully New Super Mario 3D World for Wii U or Zelda Link Between Worlds on 3DS, depending on how much of me my wife wants to see over christmas

Still haven't played a single game from last year's steam sales, I'm uninstalling the App from my phone and staying off the website this year.

Incidentally, ZombiU is great fun, if a little stressful, and Pokemon X will swallow your soul once you see how accessible (and yet time consuming) IV training is this gen...

I posted this in another forum, but it works here too! Here's the Xmas haul, for my son, I swear!

Duggy747

Treated myself to an arcade cabinet

Call Me Jimmy

Never really touched the wii upstairs so planning on getting some light platforming - super mario galaxy and donkey kong/ rayman origins.

ShadowHearth

I sort of have all games I wanted so far. More then I can play anyway. I will try to get some lego for myself as Xmas present. Nothing beats building with bricks something on Xmas day .

megaten

I have too many games to play but I might treat myself to the new Zelda to play over the christmas break.

Mr Bloat

A PS3 and The Last of Us, if my wife has copped on to my not so subtle hints. I left notes in various places with TLOU and PS3 written on them. Hopefully I won't end up with TULIPS or a PISTOL.

:eek: Lucky little.....:D

Agricola

Got The Last of Us and Uncharted 3 which I'll wait til Xmas to get stuck into. Other than that will probably pick something up in the next Steam sale.

readyletsgo

Pikmin 1 & 2 (cause I LOVE Pikmin 3 right now), Mario Galaxy 2, and maybe get ALBW if I'm very good.

Better than a kick in the gee

GTR63

Bought The Witcher 2, Fallout New Vegas and Sleeping Dogs in the last week for €31 so them along with Assassins Creed IV & Prof Layton and the Arzan Legacy.
Might get Zelda too

Grumpypants

Football Boots ! I have been told I have too many games. I say that's crazy talk.

Santa is bringing me NOTHING this year.
Again.

I guess it's okay since I don't believe in him.

A new monitor for my PC. My current one is really old and I don't always use it. I have been using steam in big picture mode with my TV, but its time I got a proper monitor.

Getting a PS4 though as of yet I'm not sure if it's bundled with a game or not. Going to be a quiet Christmas with a lot of gaming with my younger brothers.

Shiminay

I may pick up Assassins Creed 4, but between Battlefield 4, XCom: Enemy Within and a fking mental Steam Library, I don't think I need anything really except to get stuck in

For your son, remember? I'm sure he'll appreciate all those fun boxes, while you safely protect him from the potentially dangerous objects within.


The Santa list i sent off included 3D World, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Puppeteer and the new Layton.

Consider the PS3 TV , only 1080p but 3D and 24inch.
If you can find one in Smyths they are only 150 euro.

BopNiblets

It's unlikely GTA 5 is coming out on PC before the 25th so, nothin!
I'll be playing a bit more Arkham Origins and Planetary Annihilation beta I guess.

Not much I wan't myself really, will pickup TWD Season 2 and wouldn;t object if the new batman appeared in my christmas stocking. Apart from that the mission is to steal the brothers PS3 and copy of The Last of Us for and lock myself into a room for a few days over the holidays.

Dunno if anything game related will be waiting under ze tree for me, know my sister has my Amazon wishlist that has a few titles on it but have treated myself to a lot the past month (WiiU + WWHD, half dozen Wii titles, AC4, Starbound, Enemy Within).

Now to echo several people here and wish Santy for more time off to actually try play some of this mountain of a backlog

I notice you bought Zelda: A link between worlds seperately as well as the DLC code in the 3DS XL bundle.

Wait, what? Only €150, really?

crybaby

Your not really actually giving your son a Playstation 4, a 3DS and a PS Vita plus numerous game are you? Jesus I would have gotten one of those things in your picture when I was a kid.

Greyfox

Zelda a link between worlds, its now sitting under the xmas tree, it's been a few years since I've been excited about opening a xmas present
Actually forget xmas day, can't wait for stephens day when I can play the game in peace

No, but his wife may think this...

"You spent how much!!!"
"But it's for little Timmy."
"Oh, ok then I suppose."

Yeah I sold off the download code, so the physical version cost me little or nothing. Much prefer collecting physical games, especially when it's Zelda related.

The PS4 is the main present, the 3DS XL I got because I sold off some arcade cabs that were going unused, & the Vita I got when extra vision were doing them for €150, & that was funded by selling off a Jtagged Xbox 360 which was going unused. The NSMB U is courtesy of an honoured HMV voucher, Rayman Legends courtesy of an Amazon Lightning Deal for Black friday...so while it looks like a lot, I shopped smartly & just reinvested money from sold off stuff.

I suppose I could do what society accepts & spend a fortune on drink & cigarettes. I think my way is more fun though

Voice of experience?

There's not actually a huge amount of stuff out now or soon that appeals to me. I've been meaning to pick up Sir, You Are Being Hunted, and I'll have to get my hands on the XCom expansion, but no other big names are making me excited that aren't Kickstarters due out some time next year.

Well, my mother didn't know what to get me....so I just said a 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7. I'm well into my 30's. I don't care.

Can't wait to download all the old school NES/SNES game and complete them....again!

Girlfriend probably won't buy me that PS4 though!

I have Super Mario 3D World on the way but my son has Twilight Princess, Wind Waker HD and Disney Infinity on the way, all to be played on the WiiU, so I might have to play Mario when he finally goes to bed.

Unless you want it as a PC gaming monitor?

The asus mx desino is AH IPS and 1080p, excellent 3w speakers....33o euro

It's for PC gaming, yep. I don't have a PS4 and don't plan on getting one for quite a while. Too many PC games to play!
