Thread: The Forecast for gaming in 2012 is....

  1. #1

    Default The Forecast for gaming in 2012 is....

    Kind of Meh for me so far.

    I currently have the following games Pre-Ordered.

    Borderlands 2
    Lolipop Chainsaw
    Twisted Metal.

    I'm probably going to be adding Devil Survivor 2 to that list shortly, but on a whole I find currently announced games uninspiring.

    Tales of Grace F, Sly Kooper, and Anarchy Reigns look like possible options, but don't seem like they are worth full price.

    This year may be me catching up on games I missed last year, like Katherine and Dark Souls, possibly Ascension of the Metatron, or whatever it was called.

    This year also has the possobility of a new Atlus Title, which I will probably end up buying if it looks good, and definately if it's P5.

    On a whole the year is starting off looking dim compared to this last year however.

    So, thoughts on the up coming year in gaming? Do you take my slightly pessamistic out look? Does more intrigue you? Are there simply not enough announcements to catch your eye? Do you just not give a smurf?

    Journey and the Last Guardian are the games I'm looking forward to. I'll keep an eye on SSX, but I'll need to play it before getting my hopes up. That's all I think.

    Thus far the only new game that I plan on buying this year is Borderlands 2. But then again the only new game I think I bought last year is Disgaea 4.

    Xenoblade Chronicles is the only game I have pre-ordered at the moment. I would say The Last Guardian, but considering it doesn't have a release date yet, I'm saying that's a long shot entry as well. So not much in the way of "new" titles. So I'll be spending my time catching up on all the late 2011 releases like Arkhum City, AC: Revelations, and Skyward Sword.

    Well I don't really pre-order games, I'm not worried about whether I get a game months after release or not. However there are a lot of games I am looking foward to such as:

    Journey
    Final Fantasy XIV v2.0
    KH3D (which means a possible 3DS buying)
    Bioshock Infinite
    Guild Wars 2
    The Last Guardian
    Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm
    And... Perhaps Final Fantasy XIII-2


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    Has this been confirmed to be coming out in 2012? I figure it has to be close since it was playable at some event recently and they've shown off all of the new units, but I hadn't heard a firm release date yet. If it does come out this year, then it's officially the only game other than Last Guardian that I can think of that has me excited right now.
