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

Gears 2 - Didn't like the first one at all. A definite rent tough, and if its legendary i'll buy it

LBP - I'll probably buy it down the road some time likely used, but won't buy it soon

Left 4 Dead - I'll rent it first, but the main reason i probably won't buy it is i'm running out of money!

I'm gonna hold off on Dead space, Mirror's edge, Motorstorm 2, and Farcry 2. I just got fable 2, Little big planet, and Fallout 3, and I have Resistance 2, Gears 2 and Cod WaW on reserve. I think i'm set for some months to come.



~Currently Playing Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank: FTOD, and Resistance: Retribution~

For Playstation 3:

Mirror's Edge - Loved the demo, but it's still a rental unless it has a lot of replay value.

Fallout 3 - I'll get it for the 360 later on.

Far Cry 2 - Rented it. Good game, but there were a few stuff that annoyed me.

LittleBigPlanet - I rented it. It's an cool game, but this game is way overrated and overhyped though. No where near as amazing as the reviewers or fans put it out to be. Playing user-created levels is pretty fun.

Call of Duty: WaW - Getting Resistance 2 instead.

Motorstorm: PR - Renting it. Wasn't a big fan of the first one.



CoD: WaW - Treyarch sucks.

Gears 2 - Can't validate the $60.

MS: PR - Too many games

Far Cry 2 - Maybe a rental later

Animal Crossing - I don't like a over glorified Sims rip off.

Wii Music - I rather GH and RB.

GH:WT and Rock Band 2 - They cost too much.

I think of the games I was planing on getting, it would be VC, Resistance 2 and COD5.

Current List:
Wii:
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
Little King's Story
360:
The Last Remnant
Gears of War 2
PS2:
Persona 4
Ar Tonelico 2

I might cross out Last Remnant and add in VC.



 

Well I don't have an Xbox 360 or a PS3 but I definitely WON'T be getting Wii Music. It just seems incredibly lame plus I don't generally enjoy the genre.

 



None of these games are definite all because of one reason with reasons why they got pushed down for each game in no particular order:

  • Little Big Planet (PS3) - It's fun but it didn't blow me out of my seat.  I'd rather give time to see if the community turns out good and let it develop if it does turn out to be good.
  • World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lick King (PC) - I have a WoW account I haven't played in a few months.  If I get this I'll play again, otherwise, meh.
  • Resistance 2 (PS3) - I've heard really good things about it so I'm willing to give it a try but I wasn't a fan of RFOM so this game never had that great of a chance of getting ahead of other games.
  • Sam & Max: Season 1 (Wii) - I've always heard such good things about this series, just never played it.  It always ends up near the end of my lists and usually gets forgotten about.  I know, I suck.
  • Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party (Wii) - I love these games to death but the second was the same as the first and would be surprised if the third is the same as the second.
  • Chrono Trigger (DS) - I want this game *so* badly but I've played it many times and even still have it on the SNES so no reason to hurry to get this.
  • Fallout 3 (360) - I want it, just other games in the way.  I would rather play this anyways when I have a large amount of time.
  • Left 4 Dead (360) - I'm already getting the PC version, I just want this version to play with some friends.  I won't be upset if I never get this version but I'd like to.

I'll likely get all of these, just after the holiday season when game releases aren't so bunched up.
