I'm waiting patiently for Batman: Arkham City and Mass Effect 3. Not much else on my radar.

All Amazon, all the time. With Prime, I get free 2 day shipping. I can wait a couple days to save some cash. Amazon provides deals while Gamestop all but steals.

It currently goes for $50 (if you know where to look), but I'm waiting for 2 things: a patch and a drop to $40. When they both happen, I'm in.

I blame the Illusive Man.

If normal is too hard for you, you're doing it wrong.

I'm hoping Mass Effect 1 & 2 go on sale during the Steam Holiday Sale. I plan to buy both, if they do. I haven't played them yet, but a friend at work highly recommends them and I love good, SINGLE-PLAYERRPGs. If they add multiplayer, it will undoubtedly shorten the single-player experience considerably (it ALWAYS does). I refuse to buy games with 6 hour campaigns and multiplayer. In fact, I hate multiplayer. Please EA, don't mess up a great (so I've heard) RPG series before I even jump into it.

When I finished DA: O, I was desperate to continue the awesomeness that was DA. So, I followed the hype and bought the Witcher Director's Cut off of Steam. Let me tell you that I'm glad I only dropped around 13 beans on it because I could not get into it AT ALL. I forced myself to play into the 4th Act and just couldn't take it any longer. I doubt I'll ever finish it.

So, in summary, I'll second the notion that The Witcher is not special. At all.

So, carry some bandages or scavenge some. They're everywhere. Bleeding is a non-issue IMHO.

I like all the STALKER games. In Clear Sky, I didn't like the heat-seeking, radar-locking grenades (GRENADA! - holy ****, run like crazy, hide behind a wall, and 3 of them still land on your big toe). Also, the ending was clearly rushed. However, I don't believe it's as bad as some people go on about. Of course, I didn't play it until far after the release date (somehow missed it completely). It was patched up pretty good by the time I played it. Personally, I liked the hectic firefights.

I bought the Steam version of The Witcher (Director's Cut). I tried to like it. I mean, I really tried. I think I forced myself to the 4th Act. Then, I just couldn't play it anymore. I doubt I'll ever finish it.

I wasn't going to buy Dragon Age. I've played so many medieval fantasy themed RPGs it's not funny. I figured it was just another cut and paste - and it pretty much is. However, it does just about everything better than any other RPG I've played. As long as the quality remains, I'll be a Dragon Age fan through many, many sequels.

So, I pretty much hated The Witcher and loved Dragon Age. To each their own...
