I considered this game for a first day purchase, but previewing the release lists only a week will separate it and Borderlands. Honestly that game rates higher on my list of games. Being that it is online, player skill based, and sandbox. Should result in a game with strong replay, and it will sadly probably retain its price point longer.
I am looking at a October game that may hold me over to the holiday. I want to hold on to as much cash as possible for the first quarter of next year for obvious reasons. Mass Effect, Alan Wake, Bioshock, and a few other notables. So I am not entirely sure where this will fall for me. I doubt it will even make my Christmas list I am looking more favorably upon Risen.
Had it launched in August it might have had a chance at my gaming dollars, but as it stands now September is Halo, October is Borderlands, and I do not intend to by buying for myself beyond that point for the rest of the year. At best I see me buying this game in late spring.
