GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Oct 15, 2008

I mean, seriously, here in Europe, just in the next two weeks, the core games that I Will be getting are Fable II, Fallout III and Far Cry II.Other ""lesser titles"" which I"m still doubting, but Knowing MySelf, Will get are Little Big Planet, Dead Space and SpiderMan.:Web Of Shadows.(Not a SpiderMan fan, but the mechanics in this game Look AweSome!!!!)......Then two weeks later I'll buy Mirror's Edge, Banjo Kazooie.:Nuts And Buls,Sacred II and Tomb Raider.:UnderWorld.........Thats 10 Bloody titles. I can afford it, no problem,....its just that I dont seem to have The Time to acctually Play Them. OK, some Might say, why buy em All at once, give it 6 to 8 months and try em out then.....I'm Not That Person, if its on Sale.....I Need to have it.My Bad, but thats just The Way it is.

Its Late, So Bear With Me On My Spelling. AnyWay, Coming Back To the title.Who The Hell Thinks that bringing these games out so close ToGether is a Good Thing???? I mean, every game on this list Will suffer in sales because of it.Take Sacred II, comes out 2 weeks After Fable II.......Seriously, if they just wait for a couple of months, bring it out in January, sales would At the very least Be double.OK, Know what your Thinking.....Games have to Be released BeFore the Holiday Season.........Come On, thats just lame!!!! Core gamers( God, I hate that term.) Will buy it AnyWay, Hell, even more of em since they wont have to make a choice between games, and the little kids that know nothing about the acctuall quality of games, well, they wont buy these types of games AnyWay, they want flashy Covers and kiddy stuff like Mario and Yoshi(No Offence Nintendo fans, Own a Wii MySelf......A Huge One...), thats why Mario Kart Wii is still in the Top 10, not because its the best game of the year.

I recently found out that a 38 year old friend of Mine has a PS3, said He saw it on a commercial and Thought it looked cool.......So, Naturally, I asked him what game he has with his brand new system...his Answer......Ratatouille....Yes, the lame game version of the Pixar Movie....Apparently, he bought it BeCause he Liked the Movie....Damn.

I'm ranting so I'll stop, but I just dont get these developers. Mostly BeCause I've Been hearing of people AlReady getting early copies of Dead Space(Though, by Now, its out in america.), Fable II and Fallout III(Pirated version.), so WhatEver the Way they are getting it, it means those Games are Finished....So why not just release them to get before the rest of the gaming OnSlaught.

I'll Finish off with SomeThing else then games.

The Time has Come, for those of you that have Known Me for a year or so, you Know whats about to happen. In November, I Will be Leaving for South Africa , for at the very least, a month. Both for business and PleaSure, meaning I wont Be online in that Time, except to check in Once in a while.Like I said in PreVious blogs were I Annouced this, if I'm an Officer in your Union, and you Wish to demote Me, I wont hold it against you,Nor Will it affect My amount of posting When I'll RetUrn. By The Way, this is Also a Reason why I'll buy All these games, Since Now I'll have The Time to play them.

Ratatouille? Damn man. Brutal. However, I don't think you will be demoted in the UFVU. I won't allow it!

I hope you have fun in africa and those games are all awesome.

LADDIE!!!! What you say makes sense, I don't understand it either. if this is all about making more money, then why not release in a more favorable time frame where your sales can render more than you expect versus competition at the same time? Is it this impression that "competition is good for business", along the lines of giving "gamers a choice" depending on what genre they'll be buying? What makes them so certain their title will favor versus the other? All these freakin' uncertainties would lead ME (if I were a publisher) to release when the water is warm yet CALM at least.


Damn that's a lot of titles at one time, I neither have the money or time to play any game (recently bought TimeShift and never got back to it), but that trip to South Africa should do you some justice. Maybe uh.....................get you started for Resident Evil 5 for instance? Bwahahahahahahahaha

As long as you're back soon, I'll be OK.

And Ratatouille? Why? WHY?!?

I dunno, they just want to do it since Publishers believe the other games will beat out the other one. Just like how it is in the music industry. Sucks that you'll be gone for a bit, have a nice and safe trip.

See ya soon.

I feel you pain, man. Too many great occasions/titles just being published. So I'm going to deny them - nothing but Fallout is going to be issued, hooagh. All other boxes are just collector's pre-orders

Anyway, I have plenty of boxes at home I installed them, played 2-3 rounds, and put aside to try next one. Never found time to come back. But still I hope to do....

I totally agree about too many good games being released at once, driving me crazy lol.

Have fun in South Africa, hope you have a safe trip.
