Re: What games are you looking forward to this holiday season
I love Diablo and Fallout 3, so I'm really looking forward to Borderlands. On the one hand I hope its awesome. On the other I hope my schedule doesn't turn into work, play, and if I'm lucky, remember to sleep and eat like it did for a bit there with Fallout.

Re: What games are you looking forward to this holiday season
well.... i can tell you what i pre-ordered....
Dragon age origins
left 4 dead 2
boarderlands
Modern warfare 2
I would've picked brutal legend up at release if it had a nice limited edition, but as it stands i can wait due to the fact i have all those games to play already. I might burn it to take it for a spin if i get a bit board or need to cleanse the pallet a bit, but it is a shafer game so i know i'll buy it new at some point. I love what that guy makes and I want to support him.
I'm most excited for boarderlands just becuase it is pretty different. All those other games i kinda know what is in store for me already. Don't get me wrong- all look like great games that i'm excited for. But boarderlands... i just have no idea what to expect with it.
Next I'm excited for is L4D2. I clocked so many hours into the first and the second seems like just a better experience overall. Plus, playing the new map pack was such a thrill. I forgot what it was like to be in that world and not know exactly where i was walking to. It was really fun to get to use my skillset in a foreign environment. A whole game of that is going to have me playing for days strait.
Dragon age I'm least interested in. I picked up the pre-order so i could get that sweet set of armor in mass effect 2. I'm kinda in love with that game and just had to have that armor. I'm sure the game is going to be good. Bioware makes good shit. But... the whole dragon thing is just... kinda... played out a bit. It doesn't really interest me that much anymore.

Eh, I've already got Demon's Souls. I'll also be picking up Brutal Legend when it comes out, although Uncharted 2 might just have to wait 'til the holidays. I loved the demo, but I have to support original licenses when I can.

I will buy Brutal Legend eventually but gonna rent on GameFly till price drops.

Most games I was interested in have been delayed until Q1 2010 thanks to MW2. That's how pathetic the industry has become. Have fun knowing you financed the franchise abusers that is Activision.

Re: What games are you looking forward to this holiday season
Yeah, no kidding a ton of titles I was looking forward to got pushed to Q1 2010. The amount of great games to select from in early 2010 is going to be insane not just financially but finding time to play all of them.Pulsar_t wrote:Most games I was interested in have been delayed until Q1 2010 thanks to MW2.

Many, but all my hard earned money will go to my stupid graduation project and I'll buy none.
