What games are you buying/looking forward to?

[StrawberrySmiles]

Yay! Star's laptop has one! Now to talk to him about it. Hopefully I can finally play these games and not have my eyes hurt within 5 minutes.

 

[candle]

sorry, but most laptop hdmi ports are out only, meaning they will only send a signal out to another monitor/ tv, not bring a signal in to display on the laptop itself. in fact, i have yet to find any that are in or in/ out ports

 

[Necrile]

Is anyone else as excited as me for Disgaea 4 and (hopefully) White Knight Chronicles 2 later this year?

FUCK YES. PVP in D4 and a faster combat system in WKC2 along with 6 party members and more emphasis on the player? Oh god, fucking nerdgasm all around.

 

[Jason]

@candle Aww that's gay, I've only used my monitor and not a laptop, I just assumed that, because they have an HDMI port it'd work the same too, didn't even think about it, lol.

@Necrile PvP will be fucking amazing in Disgaea 4 and can't wait to see my character be of use in White Knight Chronicles 2, I wonder how the customisation for our knights will be...

 

[psiclone]

just got killzone 3. haven't even opened it yet.. what am i doing what is this

 

[Anopob]

but yesterday i was informed that mirror's edge 2 was cancelled

Noooooooooo I was always looking forward for this. Sucks.

But other than that, this year (as many others have already stated):
- Uncharted 3
- Skyrim
- Killzone 3 / Resistance 3 (sorta)
- Pokemon
- FFXIII-2

And for next year, Diablo III.

 

[Velocir_X]

The only things I'm really waiting for this year are Bioware's releases:
Dragon Age 2 (<-depends on how the demo plays)
The Old Republic (<-especially)
Mass Effect 3 (<-Collectors edition again baby)

Otherwise if anything comes out along the way that catches my eye, I'll be sure to pick it up.

 

[Yeyinde]

I am looking forward to just two games: La-Mulana (WiiWare), and Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, The (Wii)

 

[Jason]

So today I went to buy Killzone 3, but forgot to take my ID with me, so didn't get served (Lolwut as if I don't look 18!), so I've asked 'em to keep a copy behind the desk for me, going to pick it up tomorrow with my ID, and I bought Nier too, but not got around to playing it yet, I've heard so many good things about it, and I finally got it!

I'd have bought Two Worlds 2 as well, but it's been delayed in UK... yet again. 1st March --- Next Friday, well, it's Amazon.co.uk exclusive from 25th Feb to 1st March, and then it'll be on sale in stores, that's proper gay and now I've decided to save my money and buy it when it's cheaper instead, lol.

Can't wait for Yakuza 4 and Motorstorm: Apocolypse next month!

 

[Necrile]

I heard bad things about two worlds 2..I would hold out for skyrim if I were you.

 

[Jason]

You DO realise I can afford both of them, right? And besides I've heard nothing but GOOD things about it, and it looks REALLY good, but I'm waiting until it's cheaper since they've delayed it for no apparent reason...

 

[moxie]

Catherine

it's by the Persona team and it looks weird as hell, with really cool creatures & monsters except it's not an rpg, it's like a puzzle game so what the monsters have to do w/ anything i'm not sure. gameplay looks basically like the social link aspects of persona combined with hectic, block-based(?) puzzle and chase sequences

the advertising is really silly though

 

[Jason]

It's also heavily based on sex and sheep, lol, and they've got no plans to localize it outside of JP apparently.

 

[moxie]

yeah, they're gonna localize it

atlus is actually pretty great at localizations these days, the downside being that it tends to take a while so it's probably gonna be 3-5 months after the JP release

edit: nevermind i am a silly dumbface!!! i could have sworn they were whoops

how strange that they're releasing it for the 360 w/ no plans for localization

 

[Jason]

Oh well, atleast there'd be a chance of you getting an Atlus game, they sort of don't even acknowledge EU's existence...

 

[Ellie]

Pokemon black and white is intriguing me now that everybody is talking about it and we have a "family DSi".

 

[Velocir_X]

It's really just the same 'ole same 'ole pokemon,
with some screen cuts at new angles and the addition of "oh my god so revolutionary" 3 pokemon at a time battles.

From what I've read I'm quite disappointed actually - it's nowhere near the "amazing 3d revolutionary pokemon game" it was supposed to be (for god's sake it's not even on the 3DS) - not that I was planning on buying it anyway.

Funnily, a day or two after I post this, they announce that they're localising it, lol. Even if it came to EU, which it wouldn't since Atlus as I've said before, don't even acknowledge our existence, lol... I wouldn't buy it, since I think if games need to resort to sex to sell, they can't be very good...

 

[moxie]

what
wh
WHat

they

they're going to localize it now after they explicitly announced they wouldn't??

why you gotta keep playing games with my heart atlus

 

[Jason]

Yup, July 26th apparently, lol.
