Only for 5

[Starwars]

I will only buy games that cost a maximum of 3.3452 dollars, have a maximum of 6 bugs (will stretch to 8 but ONLY IF NONE OF THEM ARE CRASHING BUGS), and receive exactly 4 patches (because if there are less then the developers clearly don't care, and if there are more then the game is clearly way too buggy to begin with). Also, there should be *always* be a letter of apology from the developers on the main screen of the game where they apologize for daring to release such a buggy product to me, the all-mighty customer.

 

The game being fun and creative is clearly a secondary issue here. I want a *PRODUCT* that is flawless and that looks good.

[LadyCrimson]

not too much Dungeon Siege 3 here. I expected to see it in every single post

For myself, I still don't know that much about the game...not enough to make a hard decision about whether to get it or not. I liked the first two quite a bit, so it's pretty likely I'll get the 3rd, especially if it has a bit more story flavor to it or whatnot, but too early for that decision.

Most excited about

 

Batman Arkham City

Brink

Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Duke Nukem Forever

Mass Effect 3

Max Payne 3 (It is coming out 2011 right?)

I'm not sure if this is still true, but at one point it was PS3 exclusive.

Yeah, it's no longer PS3 only.

Sony got in exchange some other game as PS3 exclusive.

[taviow]

For sure... Dungeon Siege 3, Portal 2, The Witcher 2 and Diablo 3. Not so sure... Dragon Age 2 and Deus Ex HR. That's pretty much my entire list for the year.

Edited December 26, 2010 by taviow

[Malcador]

Witcher 2, Deus Ex HR (who knows it may be fun or something)

[Mamoulian War]

Dissidia 012 and Witcher 2 for sure, everything else depends on DRM and available platform.

[I want teh kotor 3]

Oh and Gears 3.

I liked the recent demo they showcased. and the funny thing is I got tired of DS1 and 2 so very fast... they seemed like a beggar's version of Diablo.

[Nepenthe]

Honestly, what I know of the first two Dungeon Sieges has put it in the pile "games, that I won't get no matter who the developer is". Right next to Sonic Chronicles.

[Tigranes]

That's true, but this one has about as much in common with them as.... well, nothing.

[Nepenthe]

Well, I guess I'll have to open my mind a bit and take a look at it at some point.

[Zoraptor]

I'll probably get TWitcher2 and Crusader Kings 2, assuming it makes 2k11. Can't think of any other games I'm likely to get without significant discounts.

 

So far as I can remember I only bought one full price game this year.

LOL Sonic Chronicles didn't suck though

Bugs are a fairly individual issue. I didn't encounter anything major in AP or FO:NV. Polish is also pretty deep in the personal opinion realm, I mean neither game is what I would call ugly or clunky.

 

Polish isn't based upon opinion at all, hell I never loved a Blizzard game, but they're all polished to a gleam.

 

AP and FO:NV are fugly games from all kinds of professional perspectives, being technically poor, and artistically void. AP was certainly clunk from a gameplay perspective. We can expand this analysis if you wish, the simple point is that basically polish isn't based on opinion, its based on obvious improvements due to development iteration.

 

Obsidian games lack polish, I'm fairly certain that the games go kicking and screaming out the door, and nobody is ever fully satisfied, hell I'm certain some people are downright unhappy.

 

Diamonds in the rough, and its been that way for a very long time.

 

Regardless, the focus on story makes them a win for me, if they could focus on gameplay and technology I believe Obsidian's rep would change.

 

I'd hate to guess the AP budget, but what I saw looked like a 5-8million dollar production, if it was more, it was in some serious development hell, and that stuff lays in the hands of individuals in power, I've seen it done first hand, and heads tend to roll when things get exceptionally bad.

 

I like Obsidian, I just wish they'd go less is more, and polish the crap out of something.

[Azure79]

Everyone pretty much mentioned what I'm getting.

 

I'm also interested in that Hunted Demon Forge(?) game that Brian Fargo is doing. I like my generic fantasy (hey it's my guilty pleasure) and I like my 3rd person sword swinging action games (Ninja Gaiden and God of War) so if this can deliver on both while also giving me a riveting story, I'd be more than happy to purchase it.

Uh, I'm not a professional developer. I'm just a gamer. As an untrained pleb, I thought AP looked good and FO:NV looked fantastic. I found both interfaces easy to use.

 

If you really want to spend time educating me about this, feel free to. But I imagine it is a lot like comparing art. Sure, there is a huge difference between an untrained and a trained artist, but it gets a lot harder to explain why Picasso is such a big deal compared to some other neo-expressionist Joe Schmoe.
