There's so many AAA titles coming out this fall and holiday that at least some of them are going to fall through the cracks. We all would like to buy 20+ games this fall, if for no other reason then to brag about it on message boards, but for most of us that's just not realistic. So what titles are you realistically planning to buy this year?

NOTE:, this is not a thread for you to grab and post the entire EBgames.com release list for your console, declaring that this is finally the year for the GC/Xbox. Make your own thread if you want to do that.

I'll likely only get 2-4 games for the rest of the year.

Must haves- guarrenteed

Half Life 2
Halo 2

On the bubble- I might be able to afford 1 or 2

GTA:SA
Warhammer 40k
Tribes Vengance
WoW

Everything else is going to have to be a rental, or wait until 2005.

MGS3 should've been on must have if it was released this year in EU, which it won't

 

[Diomedeskun]

Will get Star Ocean around release (plus or minus a week, I assume).

Must buy:
Paper Mario 2, Suikoden IV, Metroid Prime 2, Baten Kaitos, Fire Emblem

Want:

MGS3, Kingdom Hearts: COM, The Bard's Tale, Demon Stone, Prince of Persia 2 (three Western games?)

I may also get Metal Slug Advance if it more resembles the Neo Geo Pocket versions thant the excessively hectic arcade games.

Oh, I forgot about:

Shadow Hearts 2, Growlanser, Phantasy Star Trilogy, Pikmin 2, and Phantom Brave, all of which I want, but probably won't get.

I want some delays until next year even more.

Again, the DS is liable to change these plans (as in I will probably get one when it releases as well as some games, which depends on how they turn out. I do not mean that the DS will use its power to influence me away from some games and towards others while laughing maniacally, although that would be entertaining.)

I was just like you in 1997. I bought every PS1 RPG released the very second it came out and by the time I got around to opening them they were all $10 in the bargain bin at Gamestop. Half of them are still unopened. You might want to consider holding off on some of those purchases until you have time to play them, your wallet will thank you.

 

[DarkAngyl]

Hehehe...I know what you mean. I think my wife won't kill me in my sleep if I wait too. It all depends on wether or not I can control my inner junkie.

Will be mine ...

You're going to spend $1800 on games this fall?

That will probably be halved. IT BETTER!

DEVELOPERS, DELAY YOUR GAMES!

But yeah, I have to do further filtering. I can't even think of getting that many games.

 

[Prine]

Fuck!

Totally forgot KOTOR II ships this year!

Time to make another pre-order

Hm, this thread is definitely much more realistic.

Definite for '04
Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings & the Lost Ocean (GC)
Chulip (PS2)
Final Fantasy XI: Online: Chains of Promathia (PS2)
Growlanser: Generations (Deluxe or Standard, haven't decided) (PS2)
Musashi: Samurai Legend (PS2) (if it makes it...)
Phantasy Star Online: Episodes I & II: PLUS (GC)
Phantom Brave: Limited Edition (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (PS2)
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: Sith Lords (XBox)

Everything else will likely get pushed to next year:

Slipped to '05 (* = Maybe purchase)

Shadow Hearts: Covenant (PS2)
Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga (PS2)

Virtua Quest (Multi)*
Wild ARMs: Alter Code: F (PS2)
X-Men Legends (Multi)*

Ouch. Here's hoping half of those hit the bargain bin by early next year.

 

[DarkAngyl]

*ack* I forgot about X-men legends. That one is going to have to wait. I do want it, but finances and time are going to have to dictate here. The good thing is with so many games coming out, a lot will be bargin bin fodder sooner rather than later. I hate to see that, as I wish they would all sell well, but there just ain't no way.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Probably totally pointless as I'll buy games I can't remember now. Planning on:

Halo 2
Fable
GTA
SMT: Nocturne
Dog's Life
NBA Live
Gradius
Galleon (can't find it)
DOA: Ultimate
Mortal Kombat
Midway Volume 2
X-Men Legends
KOTOR II
R&C 3 (if online is fun)
Conker
Paper Mario 2
Chulip
Monster Hunter (depending on reviews)
Prince of Persia 2
GT4
Forza (depending on reviews)

Lot of other good stuff, but I'll try to wait for the post holiday hysteria. With having to finish Tales of Symphonia and Madden and Rainbow at home now I have no business buying anything to play.

 

[Defensor]
