Are there any games out there right now that you are on the fence about purchasing?

Dead Space 3 - I liked the first two, but the demo for 3 seemed off. about a third of the enemies in the demo were necromorph infected soldiers, using their guns. It reminded me of the latter half of Resident Evil 5, which I didn't like because of the gunplay at the end.

Resident Evil 6 - Again, played the demo and wasn't a huge fan of it. I do like the Resident Evil series and would like to give it a chance.

Darksiders 2 - I didn't like the first one, but I keep hearing how good the second one is. The first one just felt very bland.

Assassin's Creed: Whatever - I only played the first one, and I liked the story, and didn't mind the gameplay, but it just got boring to me when you were given three targets in three cities. I think I killed one of them and was just drained by the game.

Metal Gear Rising - Can't say I'm a fan of the MGS series, since I've only played the first one, and wasn't exactly wowed by it. I tried the demo and watched a level on a Let's Play. Looks like I just needed to learn to parry to enjoy the game more.

The reason the demo seemed off is probably because it was made up of bits and pieces of the rest of the game. So far I've not encountered that many of the infected soldiers, they've only popped up once or twice so far.

I'm also on the fence about the new Tomb Raider, it looks good but I'm hoping for a demo and some good reviews before I make up my mind.

Yeah I really try to main Makoto but i'm not naturally in-tune with a boxer type person. I just default to Hazama because looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. He's such a troll. Such. A. Troll.

Getting wrecked by somebody? No chance of winning? Spam taunt. It's so good.

*getting fucked up by Arakune*

"Really? Come on now!"

It's like he knows how cheap it is. I never taunt unless i'm 100% sure i'm fucked though. It's no fun for either of us if i'm practically a training dummy.

Oh and he starts laughing at Ragna. My LoL senses tell me to laugh bait. Must. Resist. Laughing. I get owned by Ragna all the time. I think I can do something then INFERNO DIVIDER! Oh fuck off
Yeah im not in tune with Makoto either but shes so likeable I have to main her I am actually best with Hakumen as in I can sometimes win some matches with him. I really like Hazamas personality and his role in the story hes just so deliciously evil but I cant use him to save my life.

I am waiting for Persona 4 Arena I have been hyped about that game for ages and then they go and fuck Europe over so hard its not even funny atm it looks like it will be released in Europe about 1 year after the rest of the world when it should have been 1 week originally after the US release and a month after japan.

OT I am actually on the fence about getting it now I really want it but I know the majority of people still playing online will be amazing now which makes it a frustrating affair still hopefully it will sell enough in Europe that I can play some other noobs like myself. I really hope the DLC is included on disc like it was with CT because if they try and charge for it after the disgusting amount of time it took to bring it here (with no localisation I might add this is the exact same copy as the US version) I may not get it on principal.

I am also no longer undecided on Tomb Raider I decided to take the plunge and order it for 33 pounds from Amazon I hope its good I am still undecided on Rising though I just cant justify it atm.

I am also undecided on Darkstalkers resurrection I will probably get it as I really want to see a proper new darkstalkers game but its just I know I wont have time to play it much for a while especially as I have recently just started trying to get into UMVC3 with my X-23, Doom, Strider team (took me ages to decide on) dammit theres too much.

Oh and I am undecided on whether to import Jo Jos Bizarre adventure (when its out) , Aquapazza and Hatsune Miku project Diva F from Japan again its a time thing as well as expense will I get enough enjoyment out of them to warrant the amount it will cost me?

Also Naruto Shippuuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is another undecided purchase I liked the second but I am not sure I am hungry enough for more yet.

There are 2 Games that will be out by the end of the year that I'm on the fence of purchasing: Destiny and Watch_Dogs. The Former because It's just gonna be like Halo, and while Halo is good, I don't wanna play as Master Chief anymore, especially when those aliens are so original; The Later because it looks cool, but it might not be my type of game...

Oh GOD, do not remind me about P4A. I was so hyped over it. I wanted to go and immediately main Shabrys day one because the evil laughs and slightly disturbing Astral sold me on her completely.

Nope, it's Catherine all over again. This time for a higher profile and more anticipated game. Not to mention I need to be avoiding spoilers because it's fucking CANON and Persona 4 is my favourite game ever.

I would love to know how Atlus can this consistantly incompetent. Really, I would. Inb4 Persona 5 is years late in Europe then too. I would never be able to avoid the bloody spoilers...

I'm over it now though, just so long as they drop the price. Could they add any DLC though? They could add Yukari or something but all the good characters were already used. No offense to Yukari, Yosuke covers the wind person and you can't put a full time healer into a fighting game. They can't just invent a new character can they?

The Last of Us. Not because I'm worried it'll turn out like Colonial Marines, but because it's PS3-exclusive and my PS3 recently got a YLOD. I'm also going to be building a whole new computer (my budget's around $1400) by the summer, around when The Last of Us comes out. I'm also not content on trying out the homemade YLOD fix, and send it in to Sony will be about $150 or so to get fixed.

I'm not sure if I'll get The Last of Us simply on the fact that I probably don't want to use my budget to fix my old PS3 AND spend another $60 on the game, when I could just use any leftover money to play some games I currently have on Steam and/or any new ones I may buy.

So for the time being, The Last of Us is probably just a game I'll be watching playthroughs of and unleashing my rage on the people who get the play it.

Fingers crossed it doesn't turn into I Am Alive. Dear god did I hate the direction they pulled with that game...

Any DLC is unlikely to be a new character as the characters are tied closely to the story as far as I know so just adding another one would not be easy, the DLC would be new colours, unlocking all the system voices (instead of trying to do the seemingly almost impossible score attack mode), glasses and that kind of stuff.

I wouldnt be surprised if Persona 4 Arena Extend was out in Japan by the time we see the game though. Also I wouldnt get your hopes up on a lower price point apparently they are preparing something special to make the wait worth while so probably some art cards or a poster it also allows them to justify a higher price point its not like anyone can import it cheaper.

I am also avoiding spoilers I really like Persona 4 its not my favourite RPG ever but its in the top 5 I was so hyped when I learnt about it a year before its release and then well you know the rest.

I'm on the fence about this strategy game on Steam called Sengoku. Last I checked it was like 10 bucks but I'm just not sure if I want it.

If anyone here has played it can you give me some reasons to either buy it or not buy it? I haven't seen a decent review for it on the net so I'm kinda in the dark about it.
