"Video Games!" or "What Are You Looking Forward To Buying In The Next While?"

Seil · 05-10-2014, 10:00 PM

So I visited my local EB, and drooled over a demo kiosk. Let's see what's on Seil's wishlist:

Doctor Who: War of the Extras

Silent Hill 5

Thief 4

And yes, I know Thief 4 is already out, I'm just trying to figure out if Yahtzee's review was accurate. Because it's in my top five game series and I want it to be good, I also don't want to plonk $60 down to listen to Not-Garett talk about Dishonored.

Thief 4 is pretty trashy even if you are not a fan of the old series unfortunately.

As for me, I guess I will get around to that new Kirby at some point and Tropico 5 is preordered, and that new Smash for 3DS in the summer. After that, hell if I know.

uhm

My next five planned purchases aren't games. So, I don't know.

A friend of mine is making a porn game and I could not be more hype.

Ladykiller in a Bind

Quote:

"Really, dating sims are inherently about manipulating other people � pick the right dialogue choices based off what you think they expect, learn about their interests so you can give them perfectly tuned gifts, make decisions based off whether you'll impress them or not � but like to pass it off as being about romance.

"Well, fuck that. You can still do that in Ladykiller in a Bind; we're just not going to pretend that it's anything other than manipulation. It'll have consequences."

also i love the full title

Yeah seriously Seil, Thief 4 is bad and not even the kind of arguable if you like the series/genre you might like it bad or the good bad like EDF. It's just terrible.

I'm looking forward to a week or two after the Watch Dogs and Wolfenstein releases, they look interesting but want to hear about it from people and not press.

Also Pillars of Eternity is probably the thing I'm looking forward to most right now.

I loved Thief 4, but mostly for the stealing of stuff. As a part of the series it's way to linear and the plot is... Well, it's pretty bad.

But stealing shiny things? It's pretty great at that!

I'm in an awkward spot with games to expect.

Because of fucking Sunset Overdrive.

I'm a big fan of Insomniac, and now I'm in a lose-lose situation.
If it's good: I have to buy a console I had no intention of buying before finding out about this.
If it's ok/bad: Goddammit Insomniac that's resources you could have put toward the next Ratchet and Clank game.

Also Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire look cool, but I'm half tempted to hold out for Chaos Emerald when it's released.

Ryong · 05-11-2014, 08:35 AM

What I'm looking forward to buy? Well, let's see...
PC:
Transistor
FTL ( I missed the last sale )
Vita:
New Atelier Rorona
Freedom Wars
Ragnarok Odyssey Ace
FFX+X-2 HD Remix
BlazBlue Chronophantasma ( if it doesn't get a PC release )

Although most of these have actually already been released but I really, really don't have the money.

My interest in gaming has seriously taken a massive dive over the last year. Last 2 games I tried playing were Dishonored and Bioshock Infinite, never finished either. They just bored me about halfway through. Since then I've just been playing Magic 2014 all the time instead.

And there's nothing new coming out that even remotely interests me. The new Infamous turned out to be pretty mediocre and pointless to the previous games plotlines, Watchdogs is apparantly the next series Ubisoft are already planning to serialise and run into the ground with yearly versions ala Asscreed, which just has me not even wanting to touch it.

I'm just really dissapointed in this new generation.
