I know the feeling.Add in the likes of Gears of War 3,Battlefield 3,MW3 and Batman:Arkham City and it's going to be an expensive winter.There's no way I'm going to be able to afford that lot

by TheLaw Mon Jul 11, 2011 6:09 pm

Not forgetting halo anniversary edition, same release day as skyrim and bodycount, which is gonna be awesome, 'tis made by codemasters

by **SilentHunter** Tue Jul 12, 2011 8:20 am

I want to get Gears 3, Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City and skyward sword.

I know that I'll be getting Gears 3 (epic edition) and Skyward sword day one. Not sure on the others though. I will get BF: 3 day one if I have the money.

by **VampiricPadraig** Tue Jul 12, 2011 12:57 pm

I am actually getting more and more into PC Gaming.

I feel like that there is nothing good at the minute for the XBox. The only game that I am waiting for is Final Fantasy X-2 but...yeah, I am not pushed about getting it on Day 1.

Steam has just took over my life atm, and also I am working with a friend that is running a TF2 server, so that is pretty cool. Very Happy

by **crow-feet** Thu Jul 14, 2011 10:01 am

my hard drive fucked up and i lost 6 months of college work and all thesis work to date but when reinstalling everything for no real reason i think left4dead 2 finally plays properly, also loving the uncharted 3 beta, 3 team death match is great with a good partner, i like having my ps3 working again

by **SilentHunter** Fri Jul 15, 2011 11:08 am

Damn sorry to hear crow. Sad

Also I very happy to see that the Gears of war 3: Epic edition dropped from €130 to €100 on the gamestop website.

Now I'm just wondering, is this the online price only or is this going to be the retail price as well?

by TheLaw Fri Jul 15, 2011 7:54 pm

Anyone know if the limited edition Gears 3 console is going to be sold in ireland. None of the shops I have been in were able to confirm or deny?

Looks class

http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/en/news/gallery/2011-06-controller-console-announce

I'll be picking up a gears controller shortly as they go on sale in early august (or so i have read) - my second reach controller is on its last legs

by Yggdrasill Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:39 pm

I'd say if any shop in Ireland was going to get that it would be gamestop. If they are not getting it then I'd say none of the shops are.

They are. Gamestop have it on there website.

It's €45, but not sure if that price is only if you buy it online.

by Yggdrasill Sat Jul 16, 2011 3:16 pm

Thats just the controller though.

by **crow-feet** Thu Jul 21, 2011 12:35 am

my eyes are melted. my eyes get destroyed playing my ps3 but not my xbox. i wonder why.. ive been playing infamous all day today and i havent enjoyed a sandbox game in a long time like this. i find gta games become incredibly repetitive and the story never seems strong enough for me to keep at it, but really having a bit of craic with this, im really happy with my ps3 now that its working again, have a wad of titles to play through,

im looking forward to street fighter 3 third strike whenever its ready,

its been a few years i think but there should be a few good titles out this year, too bad i have to write a thesis and make a film during their releases Sad

by **SilentHunter** Mon Aug 15, 2011 9:22 am

Well I pre-ordered Gears of war 3: epic edition.

So many games coming out from now to December I won't be able to afford them all. Crying or Very sad

by **VampiricPadraig** Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:22 pm

Battlefield 3
Sonic Generations (I believe its coming to Steam..Not sure though)
Assassins Creed: Revolution (That wont be coming to PC for a looong time)
Skyrim (Maybe I will get it)
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive! <-- Me want the most!

(Yeah, I have switched my gaming to the PC. derp)

How much is the epic edition going to cost?I reckon I'll stick with the regular bog standard version myself

Personally I'm really looking forward to Warhammer 40000:Space Marine which is out Sep 9th then Gears 3 a couple of weeks later.After that who knows.There's at least another 7-8 games I want coming out after Gears.Probably won't be able to afford more than a couple of them

My EE pre-order is for €124.99 in my local gamestop. I also pre-ordered CE for my Brother € 64.99. They reckon there will be a midnight opening, so i am getting my bros and mates who are buying it to pre-order there so we can all get it and play all night, a bit lame , but we did it for reach and it was a bit of craic. Fuck, I get to do nothing nowadays anyway, 3 kids now, cant find time to do dead space 2 on hardcore.

Anyhoo, i was in gamestop in bray last week, i was in bray for work, The chap there showed me an email they received from microsoft saying that the gears 3 console and pads wont be sold here or in the UK, only in the US.

I thought fuck it anyway as i was thinking about getting it - then i walk into GAME in blanch and it is advertised there for 324.99, I asked the chap in that shop and he said it was a GAME exclusive. I'll probably just get a new pad - my second Reach pad is on its way out.

by dooley Tue Aug 16, 2011 8:18 pm

€124.99

That's pretty saucy.It'd want to be pretty feckin epic for that much

I know it's expensive bit since I'm a big fan of the gears series and I decided to get the epic edition since it's the last game in this story line in the gears series.

by TheLaw Wed Aug 17, 2011 9:08 am

'Tis a bit expensive, but the Halo:Reach was the same price, as far as I can remember.
There is more in-game unlocks with the EE as well as a marcus figurine and service medals compared to the CE
I think some of the unlocks will be available thru DLC or obtaining certain medals during the game play after launch.

Hell I'm a big fan of Gears as well but 2 and a half times the price of the game on it's own!!Not a chance

Anyway Skyward Sword has been confirmed for Nov 18 in Europe

Anyone getting Deus Ex human revolution this week? I want to get the augmented edition but I would probably have to pre-order it and I can't be bothered:

by dooley Mon Aug 22, 2011 5:01 pm

It looks pretty cool and it's getting great reviews but I won't be getting it this week.I'll definitely pick it up at some point though,maybe when the price drops a bit.Space Marine is going to be the next game I buy

by **crow-feet** Wed Aug 24, 2011 1:46 pm

awh man when does the playstation store update? i badly want third strike online edition and it hasnt updated Sad

they have parasite eve 2 up, which is part of this weeks releases but no street fighter 3 Sad

by **SilentHunter** Wed Aug 24, 2011 6:32 pm

Does look good. I need to start the second one though I heard it not good as a deus ex game. Deus Ex is one of my top games ever made, so thats one of the things that worrying me about playing the second.

I wouldn't worry tbh.Yes it's not as good as the first but that doesn't mean it's a bad game.It's just a victim of the bullshit hyperbole and exaggeration that people on the internet are so fond of so if a game doesn't quite live up to the standards of it's predecessors it automatically become "the worst game ever made" and "a travesty".As long as you go into it with an open mind there's a decent game there

by **namesRhard** Mon Aug 29, 2011 3:15 pm

Anybody been following this game?

El Shaddai

I only just saw it the other day (I think it's out in a month or two) but it looks pretty good. Kind of reminds me of Bayonetta.

by Yggdrasill Mon Aug 29, 2011 8:12 pm

Finished Deus Ex Human Revolution last night. Easily the best game this year so far.

you get the cheev for watching all the credits?

by Yggdrasill Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:07 pm

Yeah I did. Did you play the original Deus Ex?

Spoiler:

by Quadnike Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:11 pm

I started playing it a few days ago but couldn't get into it on the laptop because the controls were awkward as hell but i skipped the credits but i looked it up on youtube and listened to the end

by Yggdrasill Mon Aug 29, 2011 9:14 pm

Oh ok. Well you may not want to read this then. Spoiler for first game. The guy after the credits,

Quadnike wrote:Oh right cool did you find any of the cool easter eggs in it?how did ya manage not to kill anyone?

Yeah I found a few easter eggs. In the police station there were two cops talking about Robocop and one of them was called Alex Murphy. Towards the end of the game I found some weird email about aliens or something.

Spoiler:

Can't really think of anymore of the top of my head but there were more.

Not killing anyone wasn't that hard. When ever I am offered a choice not to kill in games (metal gear, alpha protocol) I always make sure to never kill anyone. The only sort of hard part was when I had to save

Yeah Dead Island does look pretty cool but it's released the same day as Space Marine so looks like that's another game to add to the "will get at some point" list
