Forums - Gaming - Big Games You WON'T Buy This Holiday Season

Dolla Dolla on 03 November 2008

As the thread title suggests, what big games are you not getting this holiday season, starting now.

I won't be buying Resistance 2. I played the beta for a bit and I wasn't impressed.

I won't be buying LBP, either, but will put it on my Christmas list and hopefully someone will get it for me.

I won't be getting Banjo and Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, either. It's a pretty game, but I wasn't into the original Banjo, so it doesn't hold my interest as much.

I probably won't get Mirror's Edge now, but perhaps down the road when I have more time, after Christmas or something.

I'm on the fence about Prince of Persia. Haven't decided yet, so I'm lumping it in with games I won't get now.

What about you?

(Please, ONLY games you WON'T get, and tell why).

I won't be buying Banjo, as I have spent more than enough money this Fall on LBP, R2, Dead Space, Fable 2, Gears 2, Bioshock PS3, Far Cry2, and Fallout 3. it would have to score somewhere on the Super Mario Galaxy scale for me to buy it.

I am on the fence for Prince of Persia and Mirrors Edge, but may purchase based upon reviews.

Same like you guys, I'm probably not going to buy the new Prince of Persia and Mirror's Edge. Prince of Persia looks like Okami 1.5, and Mirror's Edge is probably going to be a very short game. I will rent both games for sure though.

Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Mirrors Edge -Just not sold on the first person gameplay
Little Big Planet -I prefer to play a great game rather than create one. I used to spend days creating wrestlers in WWE games. If I had LBP, I'd never leave the house.
Far Cry 2 -Maybe when it's older and cheaper. FPS's are not my favorite genre.
Wii Music -I'm into girls. Sorry.

I won't buy Wii Music and Animal Crossing, because I can no longer support Nintendo's ambitions to destroy gaming as we know it.

Yet, you bought Endless Ocean. Care to explain why?

It was cheap and I had the impression that it was the popular thing to buy. Also, that was last year, so it could very well be the reason why I don't want to support Nintendo's evil plans anymore.

Oh right, you Australians usually get ''those kinds of game'' early. Another fine example is Sonic Chronicles... Do you ever feel like a lab rat?

Disaster: Day of Crisis is another example. Sonic Unleashed is the next game I'll buy which Europe gets before America. Your comparison with a lab rat is quite fitting.

Honestly, that sounds more like a cute mouse to me. :/
