Icor Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 October 14: Saints Row 2 October 15: Dead Space October 21: Fable 2 October 22: Far Cry 2 October 22: Little Big Planet October 28: Fallout 3 I reserved all of them. I'm going to lose my job and start getting Fs in school, but it won't matter. (Dead Space, BTW, is as scary as they advertised. Just don't play it for more than 6 hours straight like I did last night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchaeius Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 At roughly $60 a pop for brand new games, and factoring in the %5 Wisconsin sales tax, you (as a college student living in a country with a current ailing economy) just dropped $378 on video games. ... Sir. I envy your passion and dedication to gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRins Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Dead Space does completely crush skulls. It is so freaky I was playing in the living room last night with all the lights on and I was still jumpy as hell...damn surround sound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icor Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 You forgot one. November 7: Gears of War 2 Well, I reserved Gears 2 for my brother, just wasn't an October release so I didn't put it up there. I'm buying Fable II twice (collectors edition, so those are more like $85 a piece), getting the PC Far Cry 2 and the Xbox one... and I still have to get a PS3 to play Little Big Planet. The truth is, I was given a considerably large sum of money for my 21st birthday because my grandparents are barking mad, and I pooled some of it into a personal savings area for gas for the car and games. I'm buying a Mac Pro after Christmas sometime which will run me about $3,500 (veeerry old savings account for that one), but this is a business expense because I'm a freelance designer, so there's a tax write off. On top of all this, I have about eight or nine people to go Christmas shopping for. Somehow I have to own all these games and keep my job, which is an ironic situation considering the fact that if I lose my job, I'll have to sell the games to afford Ramen noodles. @ KRins: I know, right?

Icor Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well... we share expenses as well as the bounty. It's a birth-day gift, but we'll both play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Well to paint a pretty picture of my experience with Dead Space. I just gathered snacks and drinks for what seems to be about 5 people. Plopped down and demanded that my girlfriend call before she opened the front door so I didn't freak out, assume she was the undead, and knife her out of pure hysteria and fear.

songofsixpence Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 From what I've heard about Dead Space (no personal experience as I have only a Wii), after awhile you start getting used to the rhythm and it becomes less scary (except for the ambiance). Wish I had the money/time to play some of those though. They look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 People are used to the rhythm...already? Its only been out like 2 days. I do notice some similarities in their little ambush points and things like that...but that might just me being more observant of potential ambush points or a fact. I am still skittish as heck to just pop around a corner...but in a fun way. I hope I don't get down the rhythm until I'm done with my first play-through.

Icor Posted October 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Wellllll... the scariest crap happens when you run out of med packs and stuff, cause some of the stuff you have to kill is just really tough. Me and my brother sat around making fun of the game for the first two hours, but when we started running out of jokes, things got really stressful. 'Course, it doesn't help that I'm playing on the harder difficulty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I-Brake-4-Minotaurs Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I've been giddy about Fallout 3 for a while now. I got 1 & 2 off good ol' games recently and I've been replaying those. I wish I had a 360 and PS3 to get all these games, having quit WoW a couple months ago I have time to play other things! But unfortunately I'm saving up for other things at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icor Posted October 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Fallout 3 better be a classic like the last ones. Hopefully they didn't dumb down the complexity so that they could market it to a wider audience. Just beat Dead Space. My ribs feel really gooey for some reason. This game is nerve wrecking.

Pali Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 From all the previews I've read and videos I've seen, it doesn't look dumbed-down at all. It looks much more like a game that will rival this one for how many hours of my life have been spent playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyeSeeU Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Fable 2, Gears 2, What am I gonna do besides play them both? Not much, not much at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrothum Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I brought Fable 2 home on the 21st, after work....what did I do? Play FL for a 10 hour session. Heh. I've got Infinite Undiscovery, Lost Odyssey, and Fable 2....I haven't touched any of them. As much as I hate to love this game sometimes...just hard to get away. Did load up Fable for a little awhile today....can't wait to dive into it. Will serve as a good plan B for awhile until I'm ready to play here again.

Icor Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Going next Wednesday for Far Cry 2, Little Big Planet, and Fallout 3. Gas is down to 2.90 a gallon, that helps quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killalou Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 im interested in fallout 3. I dont know if I will like fable 2. After I listen to the reviews of the orgies you could have in the game and the possibility of contracting a STD, the eyebrows were raised a bit. Games nowadays have too much sexualization that is not needed in any game in my opinion. I am def. looking forward to fallout 3 and farcry. I love games where I can rp a n/n mercenary. Yay!!!
