Too many games are coming out

This is definately one of the best times to be a gamer but there is only one problem...Too many games in a really short period.

Aug - Mercs 2; I thought about skipping this but then I actually watched some gameplay vids and I just can't do it.

Sept - Force Unleashed, Silent Hill Homecoming, and spore if you have a pc

Oct - Fable 2, Fallout 3, EndWar, Far Cry 2, Dead Space,

Nov - Left 4 Dead, Gears 2, Mirrors Edge, Prince of Persia, Banjo Kazooie

I'm excited yet depressed I can't afford them all. Saving up for college I can only afford about one game a month. Even this list is really small leaving out music games and other promising titles like project origin. Who can afford a music game for 180 dollars when all this gold is coming out? Back to the main topic is anyone else going to have to choose Fallout 3 over Fable 2 and Far Cry 2? Gears over Banjo and prince...this is VERY depressing. I may skip the month of sept all together but I can't bring myself to skip Mercs; it just looks way to good.

I agree all of the top games are suddenly coming out in the space of a couple of months!

Not to cause increased depression but there is also COD 5, Tom Clancy's endwar, Saints Row 2, FIFA 09 and Lord of the rings conquest if you like any of those games.

Yea I got my must haves picked out already.

Too Human, NHL 09, Fallout 3, Gears 2, Project Origin, Left 4 Dead and Prince of Persia. I have the money, my problem is I don't have the time :( I'm already behind with games I need to finish.

Hah. sometimes I feel the exact same way. Seeing at how I can only afford one brand-new game every 6 months, the other games I get are usually 2-4 years old.Slipstream720

Yeah, ^^he's right. I know for sure I'm getting Mercs 2 and Hells Highway on release day! I already have them paid off. Other than that. I might pick up Force Unleashed, not sure yet though. I probably get Madden 09 next week as well. I will agree that we are moving into/gearing up for the "holiday season" release madness though. :?EnderSR388

assuming I'm male now are we? Although I am, use he/she next time, you never know :o

anyways, my personal list of games I'll be picking up this year is small. just dead space, castle crashers, persona 4 and prince of persia, mirrors edge is a maybe.

one word Gameflywukepingu

yeah, good luck with gamefly. they really need to improve their stock of games. i don't think they've realized yet that they're doing quite well and people are waiting for the games they actually want to play.

blockbuster, 2 game pass +

and come on man, don't ever say there are too many good games coming out. consider the opposite of this - contrast and compare...

I dunno though...isn't it a chick thing to fault somebody before they've made a mistake? :)

Maybe :?

i kno wat u mean man

i cant decide between mercenaries 2, star wars: force unleashed,fallout 3

one word Gameflywukepingu

Yeah, but to get all the different story changes and different endings, in games like fallout, fable, even in force unleashed, you'll need to rent them like a dozen times=$$$

A lot of replies complain about the pricing. But that's not the big problem, it's the time to put into the games that makes the current gamer glut. Even if someone gave you 20 new games as they were released this Fall/Winter, you wouldn't have time to play them all. You could try multi-tasking & just touch a few highlights from each one, but you wouldn't be satisfied. I know I wouldn't. I've already got a ton of games & haven't had a chance to go through most of them. In fact, my back library has refrained me in some ways from buying new games as I haven't finished or started the ones I've bought a few months ago.

Yeah, pick out the games you will want to buy at launch, then just save the rest. This is why Capcom makes so much money though. They wait until Febuary to release triple A's.
