October is going to be a good month...

[Darko]

Two Worlds II and Fallout: New Vegas?

I'm excited about both of them. I have been wanting to play something like TW2 since I played through the horribly glitch-ridden Divinity 2 on the 360. DA:O was a good game, but I lost interest fairly quickly (25 hours in I believe). Fallout 3 is one of my favorites ever, so NV is a no brain buy in my mind.

Splatterhouse and Fable III are also coming out, but I'm not as excited about them as the others. I've just never been able to get into Fable. Splatterhouse has some major potential, but I want to see it before I commit.

Rockband 3 comes out in October as well, but...meh. I enjoy playing guitar hero/rock band games, but this will be a $10.00 used copy pick up for me next year.

What do you guys think? Is anyone else looking forward to October?

[Reklawnoom]

Kirby's Epic Yarn :)

[Darko]

Kirby's Epic Yarn :)

Ha. Yeah, guess I was only thinking about my 360.

[portnoyd]

Dead Rising II will be so awesome that it makes October better.

[jonebone]

No mention of Deadrising 2 at the end of September?!?! Blasphemy!!

I'm a RPG fan and thoroughly enjoyed Dragon Age, you missed out on a classic. I've heard nothing but good things about FallOut and Fable but never played any of the originals.

Do you think it would be worth me hopping in mid series and starting with one of those? My backlog is already horrendous anyway and I don't see myself going back through them in order...

Edit: Port beat me :(

Well, 9/28 isn't really October :)

I've never played the first one. I need to pick it up!

I liked what I played, but just lost interest. I might pick it back up. Thinking back, I was probably actually into the 30-35 hour range. I forgot that I played a little more a few months ago.

Fallout 3 was the first in the series that I played. You can ABSOLUTELY play it without worrying about missing out on anything. NV is supposed to have a completely different story/main character from 3, so that's an easy yes also.

You can get the Game of the Year edition of Fallout 3 for cheap now. You might pick it up if you can find it. It's worth it IMO.

[Robocop2]

Don't Forget Force Unleashed II in October.
Between that, Fallout NV, Dead Rising 2, Splatterhouse and the new Hot Pursuit I'll be set for the rest of the year. Might pick up Halo Reach when and if the TRU buy 2 get one sale comes around this year.

[exit]

Only game I'm looking forward to is Dead Rising 2, but even that I may end up holding off on for a bit due to an overwhelming backlog, as well as trying to cut back on my expenses. I'm also interested in New Vegas, but again I'll me holding off on that because I still haven't finished Fallout 3 yet.

[Robocop2]

My only concern about NV is reall if they put out several peices of DLC and I end up having to rebuy it in a year just so I can get all of the DLC on a disc.
I'd probably wait on Dead Rising if it weren't for the Zombrex edition. For some reason I really like that package

I thought about that too, but I want the CE so I'm pretty much stuck.

[portnoyd]

Oh, and while it's November related, are they fucking kidding me:

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=83933

Great. Another $150 for a game I will never play.

[Icarus Moonsight]

Is that an RC car? That's a very unpredictable, if not somewhat odd, LE bonus.

[portnoyd]

Dude, it's an RC car with a fucking camera on it and the remote has a monitor to see what the car sees.

Which is why I can't turn it down, just like the NV goggles.

I can't wait until next year when they just give you a live grenade.

[Darko]

I'll be picking up the Prestige Edition also. I didn't get the PE for MW2. I don't know if I regret it or not (I've had plenty of fun playing the game without the NV goggles. BUT...

[garagesaleking!!]

I think Dead Rising 2 and Halo Reach will make September the better month.

[fuchikoma]

I had zero interest in Black Ops until they announced the RC camera car edition.

[Malon_Forever]

The only game in October I'm looking forward too is Fable III. I played Fable II to death when it first came out.

I'm more looking foward to September. Friggin' NHL 11!!!! OTP (online team play) is awesome, and tournaments glore! Also Halo Reach comes out in Sept. Not sure if I'll pick this one up yet, but it's on my radar.

[The 1 2 P]

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is the only game in October that I'm looking foward to. But I'm not sure if I really want to pick it up at release because you know they are going to make DLC for it and eventually repackage the whole thing for a much more affordable price.

[Aussie2B]

October should be great for me, but I'm probably the only one on the edge of my seat to import Solatorobo. :P I haven't been this excited for the release of a new game in many years.

[Robocop2]

I thought about that too, but I want the CE so I'm pretty much stuck.

Yeah I can understand that. The CE does look pretty sweet for Fallout

[Dire 51]

Splatterhouse or bust for me (which should be absolutely no surprise to anyone).

[kupomogli]

Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Splatterhouse, Dragon Ball Z Raging Blast 2, Tenkaichi Tag Team, Final Fantasy 4 Heroes of Light, and Vanquish for me.

The only one I might buy on day one is CV Lords of Shadow so I can get the Collector's Edition, but all the others I'm going to wait until I find them at a sale price or a lower price.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 got pushed back to 2011 and Phantasy Star Portable 2 comes out on 09/14. Ys7 Limited Edition is on its way to my house right now. I'm going to wait on Valkyria Chronicles 2 since I'm not going to be playing it immediately and there's really no reason to purchase day one in that case.

I work private security, and I can think of many work related uses for that thing. I think I'd also buy one just to get a good and easy look at cramped spaces or running cable/wire through a crawlspace at home... I like the whole camera equipped RC vehicle angle. So, screw the grenade, I'd hope for a Predator Drone. I honestly find the RC stuff more useful than the grenade already. Why go backwards? LOL

If a Predator Drone is too far fetched for ya, could I interest you in a BB/Air-soft Gatling gun? :D

[Fuyukaze]

If people knew what it was, I'd say a few more would be happy to see it but I doubt many will know it has anything to do with tails.

[kupomogli]

Solatorobo

If it was in English I would pick it up. The DS has had very little to look forward to for quite awhile. I might pick maybe five games up for the system that are released, or have already been released, this year.

[Darko]

The DS has had very little to look forward to for quite awhile.

No kidding. Other than DQIX, I've just been going back and picking up some stuff from the last couple of years that I skipped over.

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

I picked up DQ9, Blue Dragon Awakened Shadow, Again, Secret Files Tunguska, Lego Harry Potter 1-4, Puzzle Quest 2, Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey for the DS

I also have Pre ordered Professor Layton 3, FF Warriors of light, Ghost Trick

[ScourDX]

My wallet is gonna be hurt because after October because WOW expansion & COD: Black Ops will be out in the first week of November.

[portnoyd]

The date hasn't been announced for Cata and I would really be surprised if it makes November. They have a lot of ground to cover. Achika is in the beta and she runs into bugs and unfinished stuff all the time.

[Icarus Moonsight]

To give Kupo some ideas, I reviewed my 2010 DS nabs.

Released as of today and owned today:
Korg DS-10 Plus (twice)
SMT: Strange Journey
Glory of Heracles (~$10@amazon, haven't touched it, hear it's kinda weak)
Warioware DIY
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (bye bye Apollo... the skipped series entry)

Preordered:
Etrian Odyssey 3

Planned pick-ups:
DQIX
XG Blast

I'm doing better than 5, but barely... Stranger when considering DS is my most used current system. It's not just this year either, for me last year was a little slow too.

2009: 10 games
The rest of my games... Some recent purchases are not included because they're not on the spreadsheet.
2008: 25
2007: 17
2006: 22
2005: 24
2004: 5 (only 2-3 months, scaled to 12 months that 5 becomes a weighted 20-30)

[Darko]

I'm glad that the DS gets some love here from so many people. It has some great titles for sure (just like the GBA). I still need to pick up Strange Journey and Devil Survivor. I let the DS sit for over a year due to the 360 playing I've been doing. I picked it back up for DQIX and I'm REALLY glad I did. If you're a classic RPG fan and you don't have a DS, you are missing out on a ton of future classics. My favorite game for the system is Puyo Pop Fever though! Cheesy I know, but Puyo Pop is the most addictive puzzle game I've ever played.

[Jorpho]

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2 is the only game in October that I'm looking foward to. But I'm not sure if I really want to pick it up at release because you know they are going to make DLC for it and eventually repackage the whole thing for a much more affordable price.Yes! That is going to happen to everything!

There is nothing worth getting excited about anymore, except maybe a big price drop on Steam - and once your Steam library gets clogged with games you haven't played, not even those are terribly exciting.

[otaku]

I still need to finish dragon age and start playing star craft 2. No money for new releases (or time)

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

I also picked up Glory of Heracles, Sands of Destruction and Ace Attorney Investigations

[Aussie2B]

I dunno, even though I don't buy DS games that often, I don't really see a drought in releases. Of the five current systems, I see the DS as having the largest assortment of interesting titles released at any given time. It seems like there's always something big coming out worth getting, like Dragon Quest IX and Etrian Oydssey III as of late, and then there's a steady stream of cool, obscure titles as well.

[jaekwon15]

Vanquish, Spatterhouse, and Castlevania. yes, October will be a good month.

[DisastrophE]

Ah yes October should be a great month for gamers. I'm mostly interested in RB3 and one of the new NBA games. At least those are the only ones that I'm going to pick up at launch. I'm totally geeked for the RB3 pro Fender strat guitar.

Also, on the subject of CoD: Black Ops, I kinda want to preorder the prestige edition but I have some doubts. Is anyone that is going to get it worried that it's going to be a piece of shit that doesn't work properly? Or made really cheap?

I know a friend that made the mistake of purchasing the MW2 Prestige edition. The goggles were ATROCIOUS and I doubt that the car will be any better. If you really want it, I'd pre-order the regular edition and purchase the Prestige edition used on eBay later.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Medal of Honor yet. I've already pre-ordered it and I anticipate that I'll be playing it long after I've sold Black Ops (MW2 was a huge disappointment for me, I ended up selling it in January). I'm only buying Black Ops because I'm a sucker for Cold War games.

I also plan on getting New Vegas later this year but I have to get around to buying the GOW edition of Fallout 3 and beating it first. Can't believe I waited two years to play Fallout 3; it's an epic game. Even though New Vegas isn't a direct sequel, I want to do everything I can in the third before moving on.
