The problem is somewhat mitigated for me due to the simple fact that the majority of the games just aren't my type of game. Oh sure, there are some decent RPGs coming out, but a lot of them have wound up on my likely "wait and see" list due to the simple fact that a lot of them seem to be being dumbed down to an extreme degree.Orwellian37 said:
In roughly 5 days one of my big purchuses/risks for the year comes out, that being "DC Universe Online" which I have spent nearly $100 pre-ordering the collector's edition of. I decided this after being in the beta for a while, I just hope it lives up to the potential and we see content additions quickly enough for it to maintain a player base.
"Old Republic Online" is going to be another major hit, and perhaps the source of some hard desicians since I simply can't afford to maintain three simultaneous MMORPG subscriptions. It's slated for release this year, but I'm not holding my breath. Truthfully I'm suspecting the "EA Louse" called it right on the criticisms and the game is being held back while they get it in shape for release. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed up until Christmas or into next year.
2011 seems like it's due to be a good year for casual and mainstream gamers, and as a result doubtlessly a good year for the game industry's sales figures sadly enough. On the other hand I am suspecting it's going to be a drought of sorts for me, with me waiting for a lot of reviews and impressions over the long term, and probable price drops.
I will also say that I do not think "Skyrim" is going to see 2011 release. It would be nice, but it seems bloody unlikely knowing Bethesda.
