Ending the summer drought

Post by Dog Pants »

Having had no real decent releases for months over the summer, it looks like next month we'll be hitting monsoon season. Lots of 5punkers have chatted about their expectations and priorities, so I reckon the subject sounds like fine fodder for a poll.

So, what will you be buying next month? Extra poll options added on request.

All of them, but I'll probably end up sweeping a couple.

technically i can't play them right now, but hopefully things'll be fixed when stalker comes out. I pre-ordered stalker and fallout 3, and i'll no doubt end up buying COD5. Spore doesn't grape my squildo as much, to me it looks like a game where you have to make an effort.

I will probably buy Stalker and COD and Fallout at some point, but only once they have come down in price a bit. I will however be buying GTA IV once it comes out as I am a big fan of the GTA games

All of them, but mostly Spore, then Fallout.

I've kind of gone off FPS games, what with TF2 being dicked about with and the noob tubing in COD.

(Or possibly I've been playing Warcraft rather a lot.)

:above: is why I fucking loved stalker, if a game actually manages to make me scared, it's a fucking miracle and deserves playing.

Then, I suppose how you handle it depends on what sort of person you are, perhaps stalker is a FPS RPG or something.

Also, try it with the darker nights mod, then it gets really fun :)

Pretty much that for me.

I've pre-ordered Spore, the Creature Creator sold it for me.
I've never disliked a Fallout game, so Fallout 3 will be got assuming it doesn't get slated by 5punkers.
I'll wait and see about COD5. If it takes off as a replacement for COD4 then I'll get it, but I can see it being shit.
Clear Skies isn't graping my squildo. Stalker wasn't bad, but single player FPSs need something more to get my attention nowadays.
