What game are you waiting for?

[junglehunter87]

Real quick, I'd like to state what this thread is about. In case the title was a wee bit confusing.

Just as summer is the time of movies. So too it is the time of great game releases or rather late summer-early fall. ANY HOO, This thread is about what games you are most excited about and if you are planning on getting it when It comes out.

So remember kiddies, have fun and play nice.......Mwo...Ah, screw it. LETS BEGIN!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What I'm anticipating this summer/fall-

[glow=red,2,300]FABLE III[/glow]-
I have been in love with this series since its inception way back in what 01? 02? 03? Well Its been awhile now, and although FABLE II was fun in terms of the content it brought. The story was lack luster and left me with a very over hyped Deus Ex Machina- type of boss fight. If you could really call it a fight.

So with the recent prospect of FABLE III and the enticing idea of becoming a King of Albion (aka England). I have to say this might be the sequel worthy of the original. But then again I have little faith in Peter " Over 9000 Leaves " Molyneux. However this won't stop me from pre-ordering the game.

[glow=red,2,300]DEAD RISING 2[/glow]-
" I've covered wars you know? ", Well no I didn't nor did I care Mr. Ugly as shit West also known by his alias Frank West. I'm a huge Romero Dead fan, and 1978's DAWN Of The DEAD was my favorite of the trilogy (NIGHT Of The LIVING DEAD (1968), DAY Of The DEAD (1985) ). An to see a game essential about that film with a few tweaks here in there to avoid losing the lawsuit that followed. It was a Romero and Sand box fans dream. I mean who doesn't love killing Zombies?

Well this time we have a slightly more original approach to the Zombie apocalypse this time its set in Fortune City, USA (aka Las Vegas, Nevada, USA); Where we follow a new and alittle less ugly protagonist CHUCK GREENE!!! Whose main focus is to save his daughter from turning undead. This time the game boast weapon creations such as the deadly "Freedom Bear" basically mix Teddy bear, AK-47, automatic turret, and red head band. Voilà! You get a killer Rambo-Esq turret device for all your Zombie killing needs. This will definitely be one I'm pre-ordering.

[glow=red,2,300]HALO: REACH[/glow]-
Purely for the Multi Player content nothing else really as the story by now is so convoluted Its rather sad. I mean where was all this tech in HALO: COMBAT EVOLVED? Explain that one logically Bungie. I dare ya.

[glow=red,2,300]FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS[/glow] -
I never did play any of the original Fallout games. But when I heard the Bethesda creator of the awesome ELDER SCROLLS series and at the time the bad ass ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION, was helming the new sequel and essentially putting there spin too it I knew it was something I had to play. An play I did, I gulped in every mission story point and V.A.T.S. slow-mo kill. All with the excitement of a child.

Well since Bethesda is busy, doing whatever. The reigns of a spin-off have been given to Obsidian (who some might know for the sequel too Biowares hit Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ) who is offering a different approach , yet again, to this series. Turn Based combat! While that doesn't sound good I have faith. Already the story elements seem to be something worth while. Also the " follower " system is way better and each follower has a part in the main story. Something that Fallout 3 missed as your follower was essentially your automated turret system rather than a human/super human/ghoul being. Yet again pre-ordering.

[glow=red,2,300]CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS[/glow] -
I hate the Call of Duty series for a multitude of reasons. But this installment gets my attention for 3 reasons-
1. Cold War
2. Vietnam War
3. The Anachronistic appearance of the Franchi SPAS 12 gauge

Nuff said'.

I'm looking forward to all the same titles haha

Call Of Duty: Black Ops
I'm looking forward to Black Op's for similar reasons, and with the included fact that there will be Nazi/Imperial zombies in it which was one of the things that made World at War a fun lasting game. Another reason is personally I like Treyarch a lot more than Infinity Ward but that's a different topic.

Dead Rising 2:
This game looks pretty awesome with all the weapon combinations, I hope that with all the new stuff they're adding that they don't forget to create a good story like other games do.

Dead Rising 2- I've been looking forward to the sequel ever since the original was released in 06 and even though I am gonna miss the main protaginist of the original game Frank West I am extremely looking forward to this especially the whole city idea.

Expecting it a little later, but I'm waiting on Gears of War 3 for April 2011. A new lancer with a normal bayonet to compliment the chainsaw bayonet version, a new double-barrel sawed-off shotgun, and a lock-on Piranha gun are just a few of the new weapons, and the new enemies look sweet. It'll definitely be worth the wait.

Always been a fan of Gears of War for the brutal combat and fairly tactical gameplay compared with most shooters, and Gears of War 3 is looking to follow the pattern and improve on it.

[Wke113]

Not exactly a summer game but I can't wait for it also, it does look pretty epic. Not to mention the beast mode looks pretty cool to.

Have wred alot about Aliens: Colonial Marines and it appears to be quite promising co-op game with alot of nice Alien action. But the game that I'm really waiting for, is Diablo III. Nothing is needed to add to that one.

Also as an Metal Gear Solid veteran, can't fait for the fifth part.
Ofc, a Resident Evil professional like my self, I've heard that they are making a 6th game with more co-op action and more old spices from the older games. Will be a blast, I hope ^^

I'm pretty excited for Fallout: New Vegas. As a huge fan of Fallout 3, I'm hoping it will consume my soul.

But the main game I am waiting for, rather impatiently I might add, is Mass Effect 3. I had the first one for a long time and never got into it, so I sold it. Earlier this summer, on a whim I decided to buy it and fell madly in love with all things Mass Effect, and beat the game in a course of 3 days. The day I beat that game I had been up all night, and once it was close to ten I set out for gamestop to get Mass Effect 2, came back home and passed out, then proceeded to play through it in 3 or 4 days doing almost everything I could.

I am in love with Mass Effect, and I can't help it. It's like a girlfriend going on vacation. While she's gone, you get to do all of the things that she might disagree with, hoping she won't find out, and then upon her return fully devote your attention to her for a little while. I don't think I'm the only one like that. But I did just cross the nerdiest line of my life, comparing a video game to a girlfriend, so I think I'll just act like this whole post never happened.

Mass Effect 2... oh boy don't get me started.
The day I bought that game I just couldn't stop playing it from then on. Even now I still replay it because personally I really liked it and would love to get the first Mass Effect. I'm also looking forward to Mass Effect 3 and hope they do a good job like they've done with the rest.
Honestly I was hesitant on posting my opinion on Mass Effect because I have heard and read so much hate on the games. Glad to know someone else has good taste in games unlike others who I dare not mention..

That's all I've got in mind for now for future games, I'm more into the older games like BattleField 2142.

COD Black Ops. Not sure if Treyarch can do a modern shooter as well as IW but we'll find out in November.

That and the Force Unleashed 2. Dual lightsaber action ahoy baby!

Only this time, they better have the Imperial Guard as a playable costume - can't beleive they charged you to get a C3P0 skin but left that one out of the DLC, the fools.

Treyarch will not make a COD game as good as IW

Nobody can make a video game worse and more damaging than MW2. It's literally like Rambo Part II to the first movie.

[Wke113]

I liked World at War a lot better then both Modern Warfare's personally. Nazi zombies was one of those reason's but so was a better and longer campaign. That's why I'm looking forward to Black Ops, I just hope that they can make it better then World at War; heck they're going to have zombies so that's a start.

[Still Churchill]

I'm not referring to single player modes, or anything like that. COD is only kind of entertaining with just single player. If you're going to have a really good time with COD, you need to play the online. And Treyarch has come nowhere near the greatness of online multiplayer that Infinity Ward has reached in my eyes. I might just be very opinionated. But I am going to be getting Black Ops, and from the way it looks, it could be better that Modern Warfare, which I'm hoping for.

I've never been able to stick with Modern Warfare games. I played the online of World At War for a REALLY long time. And it's weird, because I've played World at War twice, hell maybe three times more than Modern Warfare 2, but I still see MW2 as a masterpiece for online FPS games (atleast referring to consoles. PC gamers -- I don't want to hear your shit.). So while I may play Treyarch's games more, I still think Infinity Ward's are better. Some of the strange things in life, eh?
