2012 Games That You WILL Buy

[aether-x3]

Mass Effect 3 [Collectors edition]
Silent Hill: Downpour

I was considering the Silent Hill HD collection, but I have the PS2 games so it would just be a waste of money, since the games I have are perfectly fine.

 

[jtwolf85]

Soul calibur 5 and diablo 3

 

[Atmos Duality]

Borerlands 2, if it's even slated for this year.
DotA 2, if it ever sees the light of day.

I had others, but I dropped them for one reason or another:

-Starcraft 2 (I can't put up with this always-online DRM idiocy any more. I fail to find ANY real benefit from using Bnet 2.0, it has done nothing but be a colossal pain in my ass since day 1)
-Diablo 3 (same reasoning as above. Blizzard doesn't trust me enough to buy a "product", and instead turns their game into a "service", then I'm not buying their game. That, and I have no intentions of getting caught in another grind-trap.)
-Twisted Metal (It's on Playstation 3. Sony is still on my shitlist so I'm not buying their products. Pity, this game looks rather fun too.)

 

[Mushroom 118i]

Mass Effect 3, Soul Calibur 5, Silent Hill HD Collection, Bioshock Infinite, Darksiders 2, Borderlands 2 (after I get my hands on a Borderlands GOTY edition)

 

[Shakomaru]

Bioshock infinite and prototype 2 are the ones I'm really looking forward to. I can't really think of anything else *shrug*

 

[Kilroy17]

Definites:

Borderlands 2
Counter Strike:GO
Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY (I know 2009 etc)

To take under advisement:

Bioshock: Infinite
Prototype 2
Hitman Absolution

Well I already payed off my Mass Effect 3 Preorder in full even though I know for a fact that it will suck harder than a rocket powered vacuum cleaner. I just got sick of bursting into tears every time a news article came out saying "Bioware CEO says 'Writing is for queers, get ready for Gears of War 4!'" so I finally cashed in every single "benefit-of-the-doubt" point Bioware had left after Kotor, Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins and that turned out to be just enough to pay full price for their Kinnect compatible cover based shooter.

On the flip side of that two games I'm actually looking forward to are Bioshock Infinite and Soul Calibur 5

But the games I'm really looking forward to are the ones I don't even know about. You know the ones that don't have a number fixed to the end of the title. The XBLA summer of Arcade hardly ever disappoints. (Well it hardly ever disappoints 5 times in a row). Maybe a japanese game that I haven't heard about until 5 minutes after it comes out.

==" NONE....have to wait for what yahtzee's about to say..

[sub]Even if you don't feel like posting in the thread then at least watch the video[/sub]

Actually, I'd be glad to respond, but the shameless self promotion is what I don't pay attention to, rather if you listed the games as a thread starter

OT: None atm. But I do have an eye on a few titles, most notably Far Cry 3. If Ubisoft pulls off a transition between FC2 to FC3 like they did from AC1 to AC2, it could be a phenomenal game. And the trailer we saw at E3 looked very promising.

The Hitman game interests me as well, but I don't have high hopes tbh. ME3 is something to definitely look into, but like Hitman, I think it might just be a rent.

 

[GrandmaFunk]

Guild Wars 2

maybe SSX if it comes out for the PC.

 

[Sonicron]

-awesome video snip-

Oh look, it's my list of games to buy in 2012!

Well, not completely. Never heard of Overstrike, and Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect 3 aren't must-haves for me either, but aside from those I want every single game appearing in your video; already preordered Darkness 2.

Didn't you make one of these back in 2010 as well? I remember a video featuring a kickass song from the Toybots soundtrack; I think it was called High Seas of Gasoline, or something like that.

I'm not a fan of Borderlands or Bioshock, especially Bioshock: Infinite where you will be playing the worst kind of souless murdering villain, a fucking Pinkerton.

I seem to remember you saying something to that effect elsewhere.

You'd seriously skip a game just because the protagonist is a rent-a-cop/strike breaker?

 

[tooWhite2ball]

Only two off the top of my head, Bioshock: Infinite for sure, but the definite one im looking forward to is the NEW SSX! It seems like im in a select group who absolutely cannot wait for another SSX. The previous titles gave endless fun, so hopefully this one delivers

This! I miss my SSX.

 

[kyogen]

The Last Guardian
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Risen 2

I will at least also consider:
MGS Collection
Metal Gear Rising
Hitman: Absolution
and whatever GOG releases

As the son of a teacher and a fitter and turner in the automotive industry, both of whom were shop stewards, yes. It is made easier that the two previous games in the series failed to deliver me any enjoyment though.

Going off the list on Wikipedia,

Buy:
Final Fantasy XIII-2 - What can I say, I've owned all the previous ones.
Crusader Kings 2 - Paradox Int. owns my soul.
Mass Effect 3 - Can't let series go unfinished, goes against my nature. Plus I want to see how they handle it.

Rent:
The rest of the releases.

 

[Jaksteri]

Top of my head
UFO: Extraterrestrials 2

 

[GartarkMusik]

Mass Effect 3 is the only definite for now, but I'm probably gonna check out Prototype 2. Bioshock Infinite and the Silent Hill HD collection are also in my list of games to check out, and I'll give Skyrim a go over the summer, when I actually have more time to play it.

EDIT: Let's not forget the new Hitman, but I'm a little uneasy with how they're handling it. Only time will tell.........

 

[darkcalling]

Games that I WILL be buying. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Mass Effect 3, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. I'm interested in quite a few more but those are the MUST buys.

 

[EmperorSubcutaneous]

100% going to be getting:
Guild Wars 2
Journey
The Last Guardian (if it comes out this year)
Botanicula

Waiting on reviews:
Silent Hill HD Collection

Mass Effect 3 will be purchased in this house, but I'm not interested enough in the series to buy it myself (or even to play it myself; I just watch and kibitz).
