2011 - a year of pestilence on all our wallets...

[thenamelessloser]

Don't give a poop about graphics. All I really care about with Deus ex is a crazy conspiracy with pseudo philosophy and intellectualism, air ducts, nanotechnological super powers, hacking computers in the game, and air ducts. =D

 

[Zeraki]

Games I want.

Arkham City
Skyrim
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
The Witcher 2(Still waiting for the price to drop more)
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Games I will most likely end up actually buying.

Arkham City
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Skyrim(maybe)

Since Mass Effect 3 isn't coming out until 2012, it Isn't on my list. But if it were still coming out this year, I would have probably listed it five times.

skyrim all the way, if it's as awesome as oblivion i wont need to buy another game for atleast another year. i plan afford it by tapping into my weed fund for that month if i need to, but i still have left over christmas money that i've been saving for exactly this reason.

Skyrim's a maybe at the moment. I never got into any of the previous series but this one looks a hell of a lot better. Do The Elder Scrolls games have a dense canon between them? Will it matter that much is I haven't got into to series so far?

Strike Skyrim and get Witcher 2 instead. You can thank me later.

I liked Witcher over the Elder Scroll games but I'm not sure I agree with this though. Depending on what the person's own personal proclivities are, I can see someone enjoying an Elder Scroll style game way over something like the Witcher 2. (note I only played the first one)

I think you misunderstand, if I want to do the multi screen thing I showed you, I would need to replace my 2 graphics cards with 2 ATI graphics cards. Radeon HD 6950's are 250 dollars, each.

You've been waiting your whole life for MW3?
So... you are 2 years old?

I'm a little excited for Skyrim and BF3, but honestly, I can wait the two months until they have a significant price drop, at the very least.

I was very excited for Human Revolution... that is until I played the "beta." Will definitely be waiting for a big Steam sale to pick that up. Anyone gushing over the "eye candy" of this game needs to see it in full resolution and not a tiny youtube clip. It does not look very good. I suppose they have 2 months to polish the crap out of the visuals, but as of now it looks like it was made 4 years ago.

 

[Feralcentaur]

Solution: Get a few friends that would be willing to split the price of all the games amongst ye.
Each person gets to keep one or two of the games at once and when they're done they pass it on to the next one who wants to play it.
Sounds like my system could work...
Assuming that they'd agree to this deal and wouldn't hog the games too much.
...
Oh **** I forgot! I mostly just play games on Steam...
This could be more difficult than I anticipated...

Then you need to play the second, because it is nothing (and plays almost nothing) like the first one. Everything refurbished to a shine... and it is just soo much better (personally thought Witcher 1 was "meh"). Imo it is what Batman: Arkham Asylum was to Brawler/Super-Hero-games a while ago e.g. quality and must get

I think someone may prefer elder scroll Skryim because maybe they may prefer having a huge area that they transverse versus the more focused relatively smaller areas of the Witcher games.I know I didn't say why but my thoughts had nothing to do with combat for why I was saying. And maybe for other reasons as well. I think mainly both game series focus on different things that may appeal to different people differently.

I seen how the combat is vastly different in Witcher 2 and that maybe something that may turn me off. I suck at action games. Besides combat, Witcher 2 seems to be like the first one with being about a warrior with a few magical powers who has to deal with ambiguous moral choices that you don't see the result of till hours later. I heard mixed things about the combat, and I think it is one of those things one cannot be sure how much they like or dislike until they try it. (hoping for a demo when it comes out for the 360... Will definitely at least rent the game to pay the game once for the aesthetics and story but not sure if worth buying if the combat doesn't click with me.)

 

[Waaghpowa]

I have the first two. I have to see how the reviews are and stuff. I actually reallly liked Deus Ex Invisible War believe it or not, so I have to pay careful attention what people like and dislike about three after it comes out. I may be looking for different things even than other people who played the first two.

If you can, get the PC version. This is why.

you can have up to 5 Monitors supported.

That's assuming you have more than one monitor, lol. But yeah, it's definitely going to look the best on PC like most titles. Especially since it has full DX11 support. Tessellation, all the goodies.

I have 2 right now, the second being mostly for multi tasking. If I did go all out and do this, I would need to spend about 500 dollars to replace my SLI GTX 470's for Radeon 6950's, then another 100-200 dollars on another 23 inch monitor. If it weren't for the fact that I don't have the money at the moment, you better believe I would do it.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Catherine
Disgaea 4
Record of Agarest War Zero
Arcana Heart 3
Deus Ex 3
Skyrim
Arkham City
That isn't counting older games that I'm getting. It will be tough on my wallet.

 

[Seieko Pherdo]

Well since I have job and Game Stop is within walking distance I can reserve the games I want (Alice: Madness Returns, Catherine, Deus X) and buy them I can afford them. I get a pretty solid pay check and if you good at spending in moderation then something like this is easily withered.

 

[TheKramers]

Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 are out. They're becoming clones of the previous games, just with a few minor changes and different maps, who gives a damn about the stories in those games too, if it was up to me those games would be only multiplayer. Get Mass Effect 3 (Honestly though, I could write many paragraphs on why Mass Effect 2 wasn't as good as everyone said it was.) DEFINITELY get Skyrim and Get Gears of War 3. (I know that wasn't on your list but at least that game isn't a clone ov its predecessors and the story mode isn't worthless even though multiplayer is still the only reason to really play it) I don't know about Deus though, I don't know anything about the first one and I don't know anything about this one.

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

I'll just list all the games I'd LIKE to buy.

-Bioshock Infinite
-Assassin's Creed: Revelations
-Deus Ex: Human Revolution
-Batman: Arkham City
-Infamous 2
-The Darkness 2
-Prey 2
-Resistance 3
-Gears of War 3
-Uncharted 3
-Mass Effect 3
-Battlefield 3
-Modern Warfare 3
-Far Cry 3
-Halo 4
-The Elder Scrolls 5


And that should about do it.

As to what games I'll ACTUALLY be buying....I don't know...Take down about 3/4 of that list.

Although a lot of people (Valve primarily among them, citing security risks) would probably get upset if you do this, some of my friends are already doing it:

They buy games on their steam accounts, then they "trade" the games with each other by temporarily swapping steam accounts.

 

[Burningsok]

Skyrim... thats all I care about.

well, maybe Saints Row the 3rd. Oh, can't forget about. dead island.

 

[Danceofmasks]

...

Y'know, I'm not spending money for this game in particular ...
Living up to Deus Ex is a tall order, and I'm not sure anything will be good enough.

But, seeing as I've been planning to build a super widescreen 3D home cinema for over a year now, being able to game on it is just sweet.

I worked this out back in January, if i was to buy every game that i wanted it was going to cost around £400 to get them all on day of release! And that's just the bare minimum games i 'have' to get, add all the "looks good i'll get it when it's cheaper" games and it's up to £600.

If i was only allowed 1 game this year it would be the WH40K Space Marine game, been waiting for that for years and i can't wait to get stuck into it. Though may have to cheat and get my brother to get assassins creed after watching the E3 video.
