No new blockbuster games recently to my knowledge. The ones that I'm tracking & which system I want them for (The majority of these are available on 360, PS3, and PC)

PC:
Battlefield 3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Diablo 3

PS3:
Driver: San Francisco
Twisted Metal
Uncharted 3 (**** - I still need to play 1 & 2!)

360:
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Final Fantasy XIII-2

All of these games will likely be worth it.

Uncharted 3 will be great, as will AC:Revelations.

Batman:Arkham City should be very good too.

Aside from:

Minecraft 1.8
SWTOR
ME3 (I'm replaying the Mass Effects all the way through again. Can't get enough.)

There's really nothing I'm interested in coming down. yeah I'll get Skyrim because... eh. it's elder scrolls. But I predict being bored being unable to finish the main quest with an assassin without getting my arse kicked every 3 seconds just like in all the rest of the ES series.

Preorders for Star Wars: The Old Republic just opened this morning.

Also I just saw that there's a Fallout MMO coming.

I'm gonna be single forever. :-/

I'm definitely pre-ordering it with the hopes that "early access" means beta at some point. I'm very sad I haven't gotten into beta yet.

I will be pre-ordering this!

madwilliamflint · 07-21-2011, 08:42 AM

Better hurry. They're talking about limiting the number of preorders.

There was a whole "we'll email you in 48 hours to see if you got one" thingie. Maybe it's fake, but maybe it's not.

And the collector's edition is $149 (no, I didn't. that's more than I'm going to spend on the thing + subscriptions.)

As long as they have an actual class system instead of the "instagimp" abstract skill system Fallen Earth uses, it'll be possible. There's a lot of room for some great content there.

Too bad V.A.T.S. can't make the translation though

Brutus2600 · 07-21-2011, 09:43 AM

Just was reading up on it and the legal troubles between Interplay and Bethesda. Unfortunate that they can't work together to create something awesome.

That's true. I guess their hope is to take the setting & control scheme moreso than the actual game. Removing VATS and changing the leveling system are HUGE changes

Absolutely. The only thing that really CAN survive the translation process is content and "flavor." Everything else has to change, from the console-like interface to the levelling system.

They've got a leg up with the way they've been going with crafting and such.

It can work. But it's definitely not going to be Fallout 5 (or whatever that number would end up being.)

Apoco · 07-21-2011, 09:32 PM

This Star Wars pre-order is absurd. Limiting a DIGITAL game? Are they afraid they'll run out of bites?

And a PRE-ORDER FEE? Are you ****ing kidding me? Even gamestop, which is known for nickle and diming people to hell, doesn't charge a fee for pre-orders. $65 for a MMO that you will then have to pay a monthly fee for?

No. EA - **** you. This is completely unacceptable and I absolutely refuse to support it.

Brutus2600 · 07-21-2011, 09:35 PM

I agree...I preordered it off Amazon for the actual price of the game. Got my early access code in about 3 seconds

Well, a legitimate reason to throttle preorders is starting server capacity.

Yeah that bit's pretty stupid.

I did the same. I also went ahead and created a guild. If anyone is interested in joining let me know. It is Sith/PVE

Bill86 · 07-22-2011, 02:05 PM

Yeah most of those are later this year right?

I really hope Diablo 3 isn't pay to play.

Playing the Battlefield 3 alpha right now. Little rough and EAs new origin service kinda sucks compared to steam. Also picked up Captain America, which pretty much ripped off Batman Arkham Asylum. Which is a good thing, game is pretty decent.

Bill86 · 07-22-2011, 02:46 PM

Interesting. I play games for the stories anyway.

I think I'll look into Captain America.

It's worth a look, it's surprisingly good considering it's a movie tie in.
