Games you are KIND OF interested in, but not completely sold on

[Gorilla Gunk]

For me it's Rage.

I mean, the game looks like a nice cross between Borderlands and Fallout and the graphics looks great, but I'm not to keen on the whole vehicle combat thing. That's one aspect of Borderlands I really hated. Another thing Rage supposedly shares with Borderlands is that although they say they have a huge, open world it's actually a bunch of medium-to-large sized maps all sectioned off from each other. But Rage does look a lot more detailed than Borderlands in that you can actually go inside buildings are there are suppose to be all these underground bunkers like Fallout.

Another is Battlefield 3 (GASP). I know I'm suppose to love with all my heart and soul it because it's not MW3 but I'm kind of getting tired of realistic shooters and while I like Bad Company 2, at times I find the game too slow. I think I'm just more into arcade style shooters. And the marketing for it is really turning me off. Yes EA, we know you don't care for your competitor CoD and you think your game is better but must you constantly go out of your way every chance you get to hammer that point home? It's childish and it's getting annoying. The only message I'm getting from that is that if I buy your game, I'm encouraging you. Plus I've always hated the vehicle sections in the Battlefield games. If I wanted to drive a tank in a game, I'd get a tank sim. I'm not saying I'm NOT going to get BF3. I most likely will. Just maybe a few months after it's released. Until then I'll probably be playing MW3. It may also be a realistic shooter but at least it's got that off-the-wall Michael Bay feel to it that keeps it from being too serious.

Prey 2... it looks cool a nice departure from the things that limited the original and the trailer was awesome... but Bathesda's name is now attached to it... and I've never honestly played a Bathesda game that I thought was better than an interesting idea gone awry and poorly executed...<.<

 

[Duck Sandwich]

X-Men Destiny: I like the idea of a beat-em-up where you can customize your character's abilities, but the combat looks fairly bland, much like the Wolverine segments of the X-Men 3 movie game.

Devil May Cry (the new one): Even if "Dante" is an annoying, unlikable garbage character with no redeeming qualities, I'll still get the game if the gameplay's as awesome as the previous DMC's. Haven't played any games made by Ninja Theory, but then again, I haven't heard anything good about them as far as making combat systems goes.

Kingdoms of Amalur: I've been waiting for an Action-RPG that actually has a fun combat system for a long time. A lot of things I've seen from this game give me a sense of "OMG AWESOME." I just hope that the game doesn't end up being a Diablo 2 style grind/farm fest, where you have to kill some boss monster 100 times until he feels like dropping the Uber Awesome Sword of Kickass, with which you'll finally be able to replace your Shitty Weakass Club of Shit that takes 20 hits to kill a random grunt.

Mega Man Legends 3: I like me some good Mega Man action (especially the Zero series), but I've never played a Legends game before.

Terraria. It looks fun, but it also looks like the kind of game that would egt boring really fast if you didn't play with friends.

Haven't played any games made by Ninja Theory, but then again, I haven't heard anything good about them as far as making combat systems goes.

Combat's good, but overall, it's ok. Great rental though. You could probably beat it in a week, or weekend if you had the time.

OT: Team Fortress 2, I have the game but I'm still not sure it's my thing. I loved the class based coop multiplayer in Resistance 2 but I'm not really into competitive games.

Case and point, I bought Starcraft 2 for the single player campaign...

 

[King Toasty]

Dishonored and Prey 2.

I don't know anything about Prey, but it looks pretty cool. The aesthetic looks very, very sleek. Brink broke my hearts with first-person parkour, though. I was damn excited for that game. :c

Annnnd Dishonored? It's by Bethesda, so I'm automatically interested. (Well, published by Bethesda. Shush.). I haven't seen enough to make a judgment on it, though; it was only announced a few days ago.

 

[evilneko]

Skyrim. I'm slightly curious, mainly to see if it's more fun than Oblivion. More fun than Oblivion in this case doesn't mean much though.

 

[ChupathingyX]

Skyrim.

Oblivion was a big letdown and Fallout 3 didn't have the whole role-playing aspect down quite well.

 

[kickyourass]

Let's see, well, I've gotta say the persona series, I know that everyone I've talked to says that they're awesome, and they really do sound fantastic, but I'm really hesitant.

 

[Triforceformer]

Battlefield 3. Technologically, it is amazing. But the extended Fault Line trailer kind of killed my interest in the gameplay.

 

[JustJuust]

Brink
Battlefield 3
Call of Duty
Asscreed revelation

 

[NickCaligo42]

Mass Effect 3. On one hand, yeah, I enjoyed the second one. On the other hand, I know at this point that Bioware isn't going to add any feature that's going to somehow make this game any more interesting than the others. I get this feeling that it's going to come out and it'll be like, "if you played the other two, you've already played this one. Move along, nothing exciting to see here."

OT: Team Fortress 2, I have the game but I'm still not sure it's my thing. I loved the class based coop multiplayer in Resistance 2 but I'm not really into competitive games.

TF2 is awesome if you don't play it competitively. I jump in and have some fun for a few hours every once in a while. It's easy to pick up and if your on a 'for fun' server, it's not really competitive. Just choose the right servers and you will have a blast. I'm not usually one for online multiplayer myself, but I find TF2 to be the only one I play consistently.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

The new Neverwinter MMO.

After how poorly the IP was handled for Daggerdale, I am sceptical that they can pull it off here. Oh well, here's to hoping they can.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

RAGE. It seems interesting enough, and I really appreciate the work put into the environment (I mean hell, EVERY rock is hand made and no textures are reused, it's AMAZING) but I'm feeling a little burned out on post-apocalyptic games that take place in the desert.

Deus Ex. How can it possibly live up to the awesomeness of the first game? Also, I'm really not into the piss-yellow aesthetic.

 

[bushwhacker2k]

A bunch of steam games, ESPECIALLY ones without demos, they tend to make or break my decisions on whether or not to buy... so without them I generally just end up not buying them.

I know they're both on sale for 5$ or less, but that's not exactly new on steam so I still hesitate:

Dungeons of Dredmor and Revenge of the Titans look kinda interesting but without demos I'm not really sure whether I'd like 'em or not. That's how it generally is without demos, and without some idea of the content, people often aren't willing to commit, wish devs who don't make demos would learn this.

On the other hand, Dungeons is 4.49$ and that's 10% off, so if it's ever 50% off I'll just buy it regardless

---

Ah, also Skyrim to some extent, I think it looks good and I've enjoyed Bethesda's games in the past but I keep hearing people say it's being dumbed down and that it actually lacks some things and blahblahblah...
