Your Big 5 for 2012

[Shadu]

The Hobbit...oh, wait...that's a movie...
Uh...Doctor Who. Nope, hold on, that's a TV show.
Hmmm...how about Sherlock? Oh, no, that's a TV show too...and not even guarenteed to have anymore.

Honestly, since being in college, I don't really follow what's coming out in the video game world much anymore. Maybe...Man, I really don't know.

Thing is, most of what I really want hasn't even released in Japan, so it's got a ways to go before I can play it, if it is even brought over here.

Edit: I misspoke. Sherlock is promised to have more, but probably not this year, in 2012.

Mass Effect 3

Metro: Last Light (Metro 2033 easily somewhere between 3rd-1st of my top five games of all time.)

Bioshock: Infinite

Half-Life 3 (I can dream...)

Halo 4 (mostly because I want to know if 343 will be any good at it.)

Sherlock is basically a TV movie series. I remember when I started it up on Netflix a bit past midnight once, thinking it was the standard "long form" 45-50 minute show. Then it was was around 2AM and I was thinking, "For fucks sake, when is this gonna end?"

Is that a normal thing for British TV?

 

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

I'll answer this question again because I like typing.

1. Guild Wars 2
2. Journey
3. Botanicula
4. The Last Guardian...pretending it's coming out in 2012 :<
5. Uh...Project Draco. (See same excuse for putting it on this list as above.)

It used to be The Last Guardian 'till Fumita Ueda bailed on it.

He's still working on it, just doing freelance work instead.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

What are the five games you are most looking forward to so far this year? Of course it could change down the line, but just games that are fresh in your mind that you know you're gonna want.

For me it's (in no particular order)

1. Bioshock: Infinite
2. Persona 4: Ultimate
3. Pokepark 2
4. Devil Survivor 2
5. Persona 4: The Golden

I don't know if the P4 games are gonna get localized this year unless you still live in Japan/plan to import.
If they do get localized this year:
1. Grand Knights History
2. The P4 fighting game
3. Dragon's Crown
4. P4 PS Vita port
5. BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend

 

[johnnnny guitar]

1.Bioshock Infinite
2.Max payne 3
3.Mass effect 3
4.Grand theft auto 5
5.Alan wake American nightmare

And hopefully the Last guardian will be released

From what I've seen, it's not uncommon for British shows to run 45-90 minutes each episode, and often they are only six episodes to a season (or series, as they call it). Most of the short stuff I've seen have a total running time (after commercials are removed mind) of 60 minutes.

Sherlock is a bit unusual in that it's only three episodes to a season, and they are 90 minutes. That is not unheard of, but not normal per say.

Edit: Also, by American standards, yes, it is a TV movie series. By British season/series standards, no, it's a season. Completely normal to have only like...four or five episodes a season, or series.

I don't know if the P4 games are gonna get localized this year unless you still live in Japan/plan to import.

I'm not worried about them because P4: G is supposed to have a Spring/Early Summer release, and that would give it plenty of time to be out by the end of the year (worst case scenario, early next year)

and P4: U is a fighting game, which are notorious for having Japanese and Stateside release dates incredibly close to one another, so I actually think we'll have that one by the summertime.

 

[mrhappy1489]

1. Mass Effect 3
2. Kingdom of Amalur
3. Bioshock Infinite
4. NeverDead
5. I don't have one as of yet

I hope you are right. I'd love to get my hands on that fighting game and I'd have a reason to buy a Vita this year.

 

[SH4DOWSL4Y3R]

hmm, lets see. no particular order here, but:

PC
Operation raccoon city
Diablo 3
Metro: Last Light
Kingdoms of Amalur
Torchlight 2

Vita
FFX HD
Gravity Rush
Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Blazblue (vita)
Persona 4

fine, shoot me, i picked more than 5, (unless seperate system lists are allowed). i can't be bothered refining it down. i'm not to any particular degree specifically looking forward to any of these the most right now. getting overly hyped makes the days till release go slower.

oh, and if A Sod Lurks get's a release for pc i might pick it up.

 

[Wayneguard]

Hitman: Absolution and Mass Effect 3. Nothing else has interested me that I can recall (unless Thief 4 is coming out in 2012).

 

[Phlakes]

ME3
Bioshock Infinite
GTA5
Paper Mario (at least I think it's this year)
Luigi's Mansion 2

Once those last two are getting closer I'll finally get myself a 3DS.

 

[omicron1]

Risen 2
Guild Wars 2
Torchlight 2
Diablo 3
Hegemony Rome

(not in order)

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

1) Twisted Metal (holy shit, Twisted Metal. I bought a PS3 for you)
2) Resident Evil 6
3) Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City
4) Prototype 2
5) Halo 4

And Alan Wake: American Nightmare, though since its an Arcade game, I didn't really count it.
