Tell Us Dammit

12 years ago

November 24, 2011 at 11:00 am

I’m almost a little sad. All the big hitters of 2011, minus maybe Mario Kart 7, have been released and now all that’s left is to bloody play through them all. Maybe it’s time to look ahead to 2012 — what are you guys looking forward to next year?

I’m looking forward to new hardware. I like getting shiny new kit to play with, and I’m particularly looking forward to checking out the Vita and the Wii U.

Software wise — it’s mostly the games I was hoping would come out this year. Journey and The Last Guardian being the main ones.

Oh and Bioshock Infinite.

What about you guys, what are you hoping to see from 2012?

Battle to the death between BioShock Infinite and Mass Effect 3 for me. Can’t wait to get hold of the new Hitman too.

Next year are a few maybe games:

* Max Payne 3
* Final Fantasy XIII-2
* MGS Rising?
* Mass Effect 3 (yes, it’s in my maybe pile, even though I’ll almost certainly buy it)

Nothing I’m doing cartwheels over, though.

  I’ve had a few people say that to me – that they are waiting for the Skyrim GOTY edition. I just don’t quite get the mentality here.
  
  Just buy it if you want to buy it (unless you are on a tight budget). It’s worth the extra money that you’ll pay to get all the expansion packs (what like an extra $10?) and you don’t have to wait 18 months.

    I can agree with the logic in these situations though, unless it’s a game that you absolutely must play now, there is no harm in letting some games slide through until a complete edition is released.
    
    Nowdays most people have large backlogs anyway, so being time poor would be a very strong factor. So why not work on a backlog until a GOTY edition is brought out? You don’t miss out on the experience of playing the game for the first time and have the complete package, it can be win-win!

      That’s pretty much it. I’ve got plenty to play at the moment (Battlefield 3, Dark Souls both in progress and Batman: Arkham Asylum still to be started, and I’ve even still got a few outstanding quests in Fallout 3 GOTY), so I don’t need Skyrim now. I’m happy to wait 12 months and get the DLC thrown in (which will be a lot more than $10 – probably more like $50-60 depedning on how many packs they do and what they charge for them) plus hopefully have to endure fewer bugs assuming there will be a fair few patches between now and then.. I’m in no rush – the game will still be good this time next year.

I’m most looking forward to some more 3DS games (Kid Icarus and Luigis Mansion in particular), as well as more info on the Wii U.

Not really all that hyped for the Vita personally, but it’ll be interesting to see the coverage of it anyway. I can’t think of anything off the top of my head for the PS3 that has me super excited either, but I’m sure that will change.

I’ve been so focused on the end of 2011 I haven’t really thought much about next year. 😛

Umm, little project from a tiny little studio tops my list, some of you may have heard of it. It’s called DIABLO 3…

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned this yet. Kotaku must be more console-dominated than I first thought.

Hardware: I’m really interested in the Vita and how it will launch.

Software:

LAST GUARDIAN( I really hope this game has no preorder and DLC nonsense)

Bioshock Infinite (the sky riding looks great)

GTA 5

FAR CRY 3 (I enjoyed Far Cry 2 and I’m intrigued at the chance of exploring an open world FPS)

Something you guys may have missed.
Yesterday Paizo announced their plans to begin work on an MMO based on the Pathfinder pencil and paper game (otherwise known as the better man’s Dungeon and Dragons). Sounds a little bit Ultima Onlinesque.

http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lcut

As a long-time pencil and paper role player, and a hater of most MMOs, I find myself strangely intrigued. If there’s anyeone that can get it right, it’s Paizo.

Mass Effect 3 – I haven’t read the spoilers and don’t plan to, though I’m sad to hear apparently the story isn’t very good. Sadface. Still, this is the thing I’m looking forward to most.

I’m also looking forward to Bioshock Infinite, The Darkness 2, and Lollipop Chainsaw (which will be trashy but fun, much like Shadows of the Damned). Oh, and Hitman: Absolution, assuming it actually comes out. Been waiting for a new Hitman for a long time.
