Your most anticipated games of 2012? (in Off-topic)

Just wondering what games everyone is wanting to buy this year. I dont think there is as many big titles as last year but I'm sure to buy a few.

Mine is Mass effect 3 (PS3)

So, what are yours?

Diablo 3 assuming it's coming out this year.

Wish my computer could run it and id get it too, it pay to play or still free like Diablo 2?

D3 too!

I'm rather excited to have a new fast-paced FPS, and this year may give us some good ones: Firefall, Tribes: Ascend, Nexuiz, and PlanetSide 2 all look great, and I really hope they survive beta.

Besides that, all hail the glorious D3!

I'm not excited by D3. :(

It's far too similar to D2. It's not innovative, and offers nothing new. I'll be getting it for free though, so I'll play it! ;)

There's FF13-2 coming out, and a few more sequals, so 2012 should be good for gaming. ;)

Borderlands 2. ;)

Err...

Oooo the new FF13, but its so boring playing FF13, i might give it another shot sometime, just so linear!! (only played for 20 hours)

Borderlands 2, watched my dad and my bro play it, looked very cool indeed. May give it a shot! (unless it's just xbox)

Twisted Metal

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Guild Wars 2
Diablo 3
Borderlands 2
Mass Effect 3

Tekken Tag Tournament 2

The English Olympics.

final fantasy 13 part 2 and any other final fantasy that gone come out this year

Diablo 3
Borderlands 2
Mass Effect 3

But neither of my computers can handle Diablo 3, so I'm stuck waiting for the inevitable 360 port.

Good call Bast, I shall be watching most of it!

Halo 4
Diablo 3
Mass Effect 3

In that order.

Well, supposidly, Square-Enix have fixed all the complaints that FF13 bought. Like the linear 'tunnel crawl' gameplay.

So they're innovating on their past design.

D3.

It's even the same 5 classes, just repackaged. /bleh

Tekken x SF
SF x Tekken

;)

/meh

We're gonna win a handful of medals. The same events as we do every year.

Everyone else will win the same events they do every year.

TV coverage will be primarily of the beach vollyball.

But highlights will be gymnastics 'fails'. ;)

But the downside is for about 6 months I'm going to be unable to get to work, yet still be expected to make it in on time.

:'(

Olympics. You can have them.

Please?

Hey, the Olympics can do phenomenal things for a city.

For example:
Vancouver 2012: Lots of people downtown, no riots.

Diablo III or so it was until it became known that it is pay to play and does not contain a single player.

Do what now? The last I checked, it does -- just with DRM that required an internet connection to start.

CB3?

Or at least some real changes to CB2!

When did they announce D3 was pay to play?

Bioshock Infinite.

Indeed, everything I've read has said it is free to play. You can sign up for 1 year of WoW to get the game free itself I think though.

I'm looking forward to:
Survivor: Apocalypse

It isn't coming until December though.

Shade may have just invented "accidental trolling." :D

I haven't been able to find anything official stating its going to have monthly fees. Between SC2 still being free and the Auction Houses for real money (I think blizz takes a cut) it had better be free to play. If not, as much as I loved and played d2, I would pass on it.

D3 definitely has Single Player, and blizzard hasn't even hinted at pay to play... at all. However, since Activision-Blizzard, I see where you are coming from Pit.

Just wait till Blizzard merges thier Battle-net accounts, and makes you have aone to play any of their games.

Oh and charge you that monthly fee they do for wow for the priveldge. ;)

The Most Deadly Game.

That's right, hunting people for sport!

But seriously, I dunno, I can't buy new games right now as it interferes with my school. :( That's why I haven't bought Skyrim.

The Last of us.

afaik the signing up with WoW only gives you free availability to play it for 1 year, after that it's back to pay to play online...

Nah mate, the yearly subs for WoW lets you DL the game form Blizzard for free. ;)

There's no monthly subs.

Yet.

Nobody else for Bioshock?

Also I am Alive
and SSX deadly descents

Yeah, purchasing an annual pass from WoW gives you a few things, a mount in wow(Tyrael's Charger), guaranteed beta access to the new expansion(MoP) and then also the game client for D3, which is as most people have stated "supposedly" F2P. I'm pretty sure with their USD AH they will take a small cut, which will even out their lust for making it a pay to play game.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is my number 1
Diable 3 is my number 2

I already have Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning held for me at my local Gamestop ^^ Can't beat the fact that R. A. Salvatore and Curt Schilling worked together on this game ^^

Not to mention Ken Rolston and Todd MacFarlane in addition to those two :)

Anyone else wanna see South Park: The Game?

YES!

I forgot about this, I too am very very excited for this.

Not heard of it, sounds like a PC title?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdoms_of_Amalur:_Reckoning

I'm excited b/c it's an RPG and Ken Rolston the lead designer of Morrowind and Oblivion is working on it.

Ooo, cheers for that!!

For those so interested, Kingdoms of Amalur currently has a 2/7 shipping date

That'd be very good!

But the Single player requires on line play.

There's no off line single player in D3, unlike the previous.

It's not online requirement, it's probably going to be something very similar to Starcraft 2. You have to just log online once every month to play single player offline. Yes it's a little stupid; but it could be worse.

So i just tested out Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning on the playable demo for Xbox 360 and OMG I CAN'T WAIT!!!! Love the gameplay and the graphics are phenomenal!

Draco, what type of RPG is it? Or is it a mixture? Is it open world or more like a dungeon hack n slash?

I could obviously go watch tons of videos about it, but i thought asking you would be quicker!

I have heard you always have to be online with D3 so that they can monitor in game errors and cheats, so players can't take advantage of the real money AH... Those kinds of things...

AH is only available with multiplayer.

As far as i'm aware mate, you still have access to AH in single player, but single player is online, just like multi player is.

Reminds me of Fable type of gameplay and map usage... but i have only hit level one thus far so don't have alot of experience in the game yet ^^

Fable. *sad eyes*

Fable 2 was poor, never tried 3 due to how poor 2 was. I'll check reviews etc out soon though.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning also has some sort of link to Mass Effect 3... a special unlock when you buy the game or something... I received it when i played the demo... but don't remember what it said exactly

You should find out, b/c I'll be buying both!

Holy hell, Kingdom of Amalur is amazing, it's not my style of graphics, but the game play is awesome even in the demo. The fighting system seems pretty cool, and the plot looks like it's going to be pretty awesome.

Isn't it sweet? I am falling more and more in love with it by the minute!

/flabergasted

Damn me that game looks good...

Titan, with those 2 games you get an exclusive in game bonus( i dont believe its been fully disclosed exactly what it is though) for purchasing the other. So buying 1 grants you something in the other in both.

Yeah, playing through the demo it said I got an exclusive weapon and some skin. I'd assume that's what comes with ME3 when you buy KoA:R.
