What Games Are You Excited Over?

I would say that Uncharted 3 is a bit better than 2, the gameplay is pretty much the same except that the melee is more refined so now you can fight properly if you can't get you gun out fast enough. The graphics are also better and the lighting is more realistic. So far I am enjoying it.

Resident Evil 6 looks like its gonna be pretty awesome. At least i hope so, i've played the series from the very beginning and the only one i didn't like and didn't even bother finishing was RE5.

Dear Esther has my attention - it's an exploration game, very much more related to story-telling than puzzle solving even (and I would guess to no platforming or shooting.)

It's based on the source engine, and was a mod, but got the green light from Valve to be turned into a standalone game (I'm assuming some allowances made in the licensing costs or similar.) This "indie game" background also makes it appealing to me along with the story-telling focus.

Finally, it does look rather amazing graphically too

Resident Evil 6 does look good and it looks like they will have moving+shooting.

ME3 and Halo 4 are on the top of my list. Also probably getting Borderlands 2.

I decided that i wasn't going to buy a PS Vita but the game "Gravity Rush" looks really good and now i'm reconsidering. I bought the first PSP only because i wanted to play FF7 Crisis Core, which i loved but i never picked up my PSP again once i'd played it.Its been sitting on a shelf collecting dust for quite a while now. So should i do the same as i did with the PSP and buy a PS Vita just for one game? Hmmmmm.

 

[devilsgrin]

will say that i WAS looking forward to ME3 like theres no tomorrow, tho with the looming necessity of the absolute, computer spying Origin... the excitement may have been dampened somewhat.

Origin's a deal breaker for me. I'll get it used and play it on Xbox a few months down the line.

I'm pretty hype for Max Payne 3.

Origin, devilsgrin?

It'll depend on more info down the line, but the rebooted Tomb Raider could be cool (should come out in Q3). I might get this year's F1 game, if there is one, and I've started thinking more about Dragon Age 3. I really hope that lives up to its potential.

Origin is EAs version of Steam. its essentially a form of spyware masquerading as a gaming platform, since it scans practically your whole drive.

DA3 should definitely be better than 2. Its already had a longer development period than DA2 did, so it can't be worse.

Sounds suspicious and unwelcome. I've never been a PC gamer, but I sympathise with those who are when they have to put up with stuff like that.

Precisely why I am a console only gamer.

Put the game in and away you go.

with the mass effect games, had 1 been on PS3 i would easily agree. Since its all but un-moddable (there are a VERY few mods for ME and ME2 - mostly outfits and hairstyles).
Alas, PC also has a significant graphical superiority over consoles. its difficult for me to buy any game on a console if i know its also on PC.
Which consoles allow insert and play? don't they mostly require installation too? i know ps3 does require installation... is x360 insert disc and away you go?

it IS suspicious. What does EA need all that info for anyway, and who do they think they're going to sell it to? Certainly a third party. The other big concern, is that since origin runs so deep, it could also be used as a piggyback to all sorts of viruses.

Captain America: Super Soldier

I saw the walkthroughs for the X-Box 360 version. It was incredibly cool. Just like watching another Marvel Comics movie. Set in World War 2, the sinister Red Skull along with the evil underground group known as HYDRA battle against the mighty Captain America with steampunk soldiers and far-out robots.

Being a tremendous fan of Marvel Superheros, this game is definately for me!

Last two guys from the past?

Looking forward to a glut of great action-RPG's in the near future: Diablo 3 (duh), Torchlight 2, Path of Exile, and Grim Dawn if it happens (that wouldn't be exactly near future).

I'm also keeping my eye on the X-COM reboot, the next-gen MMO project Titan that Blizzard is working on, Wildstar, Borderlands 2... I really don't know what Bethesda and Bioware are working on next, so that's pretty much it right now. I imagine there are more that just aren't coming to mind, but with Diablo 3 looming large, it's hard to see past it to anything else.

Warlock - Master of the Arcane
Turnbased fantasy strategy game which has just enough depth and complexity to be challenging, and yet is a pretty simple and very well designed experience. Plus it avoids that darth that many turn based games have of having a lot of dead/transitional turns as you build up/advance/explore - instead it gets right into the action from the start and each turn is both streamlined and yet important.
Best thing is that the demo is out a week before the official release - really refreshing in todays market to play a game that feels polished on release and where the developer is confident enough to do a demo before release (though I respect that some do open betas and suchlike).
