Autumn Game Forecast Has Me Broke

[tay120n64]

There sure are a lot of good games coming out this fall. Hell, today alone Gears of War 3, Kirby: Mass Attack, and Persona 2: Innocent Sin came out!

Anyway, it's a busy season for me. I'm gonna pick up as many games as I can, but I may have to pass on a few.

Games I want to buy:
--Kirby: Mass Attack
--Professor Layton and the Last Specter
--Batman: Arkham City
--Kirby's Return to Dream Land
--Sonic Generations
--Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
--Super Mario 3D Land
--The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
--Mario Kart 7

I also need to pick up Mortal Kombat 9, Portal 2, and Red Dead Redemption GotY at some point. Why do they release so many good games all at once?

Is anyone else planning on getting any Autumn releases?

Lot of good games released in Q3 or Q4, due to holidays. Some people tended to do Christmas shopping early before chaos hit all shopping places.

I can't afford to get all games I wanted at once. I had to resorted to a game or two per a month.

October: Batman: Arkham City (Steam version)
November: Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
December: Star Fox 3DS and Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy
January: Kid Icarus: Uprising?

Steam Wishlist: 32 games

Please noted that Batman: Arkham City has a pre-order bonus for each different store (retail or d2d) such as Best Buy give Robin skin as GameStop offers Kevin Conroy's Batman skin. I have no idea about what Steam offers until Batman: AC page becomes available.

PC version of Batman got delayed until November, in case you hadn't heard.

I read that on 1up via RSS reader. That means LoZ: Skyward Sword still remained as the game to buy in November (I had it pre-ordered).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! WHY?!?

Did I heard the PC version get all skins, don't it?

[edit] Batman: Arkham City may likely outsell by Skyrim, also due in November anyway. I read the comments on both 1Up and Joystiq.

Probably going to go grab Persona 2 tomorrow. ...probably going to preorder the new Zelda title though.

...browsing through RPGFan's stuff makes me look forward to games coming out in the Winter though, and stuff that was just announced makes me HAPPY *_*

Because Steam isn't compatible with my Xbox 360.

I'm a console gaming peasant.

I guess not having a 3DS is budget friendly:)

Tay, you still have a key code to Portal 2? I have Steam since I'm mainly PC gamer. The game was on my Steam wishlist (32 in total).

I don't know who had the preorder bonus, but I also saw Batman: Dark Knight Returns costume, current DC Batman, 70's Batman (The grey costume bith the blue cowl and cape) and, the one I want, Batman Beyond.

The only two titles I wanted this holiday season (Scratch that- planned to buy) was Resident Evil 4HD, which I already got, and Halo Anniversary, which is out in November.

I plan to get Arkham City... later. I never finished Arkham Asylum yet, as I was an idiot and tried to play the game on hard the first time through.

I also wanted to check out Skyrim, since that game looks awesome.

I think Collector's edition get Dark Knight Return skin. I bet Steam get Batman Beyond skin. I'm not sure about get the game on Wii U instead of the PC version unless Wii U version has something I can interest in.

You should finish it... I kept come back for challenges to prey on poor criminals for fun. Proximity bombs are totally cool once they are planted on top of ladder or stairwell and watch criminals do flying. I hope Arkham City offers more fun with gadgets and new environments to take advantages of.

Well according to all the interviews they said they're sticking with essentially what worked in Arkham Asylum... I think they might be adding a few new gadgets. What I was really interested in was the chance to play as Catowoman- she has her own gadgets and fighting style, so it's a completely different experience than playing as Batman. If she's any good, heres to hoping they have a few challenge maps for her.

I plan to getting back to AA. What I did play I actually really enjoyed alot. I've always loved the Kevin Conroy/Mark Hamill dynamic, going all the way back to the animated series. They've played these roles so long hearing anyone else is jarring.

I just started Resident Evil 4HD, I was playing Duke Nukem Forever (Good lord this game is disappoint) and a few others I'm in various stages of completion.

Are you talking to Tay or actually me? I had a Portal 2 key for sale, -5€ than the regular price, but it's already sold...
