This Fall/Winter is going to be very very expensive it seems.
Spore
Fallout 3 (this will probably take up more time than even spore)
Ghostbusters (if it's not delayed until next June)
GTA IV PC
Empire: Total War
There's another big PC game coming out..but I can't seem to remember what it is.
Honestly though, for sheer epicness, I think I'm looking forward to Fallout 3 the most. Ghostbusters is almost a tie, just because Ghostbusters was my life when I was a child.

Ah, I was only thinking PC games...but I forgot about STALKER.
Spore, Fallout, Crysis, KOTOR and STALKER are reasons enough to say PC gaming is not dead.
Um...was that implied anywhere? All the games I listed I'm buying on PC.
I offer a solution to playing Fallout(2) in Vista.
Download Virtual PC 2007.
Install XP on a virtual machine. I'm sure you have a disc or iso of it somewhere.
Install the game and all the patches
Profit!
(Don't use pointer integration, it doesn't play nice with the game engine)
You also get the side benefit of playing in a window if you like.
man.. those shots.. its as i feared, it looks and acts like oblivion, from waiting, menus and everything, like a tc mod or something.. the dialogue seems ok, but there's no bartering options? god-damn. also god-damn oblivion style quest hold my hand and tell me exactly what to do shit again, least knowing this it will be in xml format so at least it can be modded out, and i cant see that god awful compass shit anywhere either..

Uh, yeah there is. It's supposed to be exactly like Fallout; caps for currency but everything has value.
no i meant being able to barter with everyone you can talk to like in fo1 & 2, looking at the shots you only seem to be able to barter with select people who have the dialogue to do so.
I'm going through F2 again (even though I played it a few months ago, the allure of a good game such as this is hard to pass up when I've got a hard on due to F3 coming out soon) and I just know I'm going to miss these things in the sequel since I know Bethesda wouldn't go the distance on sex.
I will miss new incarnations of these things. Broken Hills Gimp. Oh the gimp. But I'll always have F2 for that.
Just have to love the Fallout Boy image made for that stat. And the "Big Bright Shining Star".

Crysis Warhead?
Man I still haven't even played Crysis. I figured I'd wait a while until the next gen of video cards, then buy it.

If you've played far cry then you're not missing much.
wrong
no i'm quite correct, unless you refer to the awesome
ice level and alien ship levels that were both way too short, the rest of the game was just a prettier version of far cry with koreans.
Except that's actually the 'bad' part o_O
thought it was quite good myself and wanted more of it after the samey hours and hours of jungle, its like in doom 3 when you see the same tech corridor 80% of the game and they give you 5 % of an awesome hell level and dump you back in the same tech corridor afterwards.
Way to sum it up in one convenient comparison. A reviewer you are not.
Crysis was just about the greatest thing an FPS fan could wish for. No doubt it borrowed from Far Cry the open-ended gameplay and tropical island atmosphere, but to say it's just a copy with better graphics is negligent. The game was an action FPS masterpiece (script and dialogue aside, of course). Edit: and I agree in saying that the alien ship level was the less enjoyable part of the game. If you found that the highlight, then maybe you should look into Freespace instead.
Hey, I just convinced my girlfriend to try Fallout the first. We're downloading the fan patches now and soon I will make her a devout follower of the ways of Science! Life is great!

The aircraft carrier at the end of Crysis was so epicly awesome looking even though the last fight was shit.
If you go into NMA, keep all objects usable to gouge out your eyes away from you at all times.
what is it with you guys and nma.
they aren't that bad, I've yet to see an intentionally over the top purist post.
Apples and Oranges, my friend. You put two together in the same room and leave them to their own devices, one going to eventually feed the other to a juicer. They both may be fruit, but they have different tastes in many regards.

It was a pretty cool setting. On a ravaged warship in the middle of the ocean during the night? Being attacked by a mecha squid monster? Good times.
Unfortunately, the giant walker boss bugged out completely for me and ruined that entire section for me. The boss just walked up into the sky where you couldn't touch it and sat there. Had to reload at least 30 times before it stopped bugging.:x

o.. okay. i think?
but yeah i forgot about the airship at the end, that was pretty cool too, apart from the ending and i think that boss battle scene would of been more awesome if they had of shown it off in a gazillion of preview vids and trailers before its release.

I dunno about 1 but in 2 some people flat out refuse to barter with you. And being able to barter with your village at the start would kind of not make sense.
Being able to barter with everyone was a lie. Every npc you could talk to had the button but 50% wouldn't actually barter and 90% wouldn't actually have anything to barter with (x30 caps, cabbage, iguana on a stick and x2 stimpacks hooray!)
On why the NMA hate:
If you haven't seen "truly purist posts" then you haven't looked. There have been posts on their forums where a guy said he punched his girlfriend because she saw F3 and said it looked good. There have been a lot of posts like that.

its the principle of the thing. least in fo1 (cant remember how they did it in fo2, but im playing fo1 right now) i have so far been able to barter with everyone, it doesnt really matter what they have, the fact that its there for roleplay is great.

M'aiq the Liar? He was in Morrowind, too. He's a joke character, an easter egg.
So like, massive screenshot leak. I'm not telling you where to find it, or what they look like because I haven't (and won't) look, I want as much to be a surprise as possible.

I'd rather they spend time giving extra NPC's interesting mini-stories or speech options for "roleplay purposes" as opposed wasting time loading them with a bartering inventory that's only going to waste my time.
And even more than that, is it even realistic that you can barter with everyone? If anything, that reeks of game mechanic more than anything...
That's like reducing the penny-arcade community to whoever troll of the week is.
Yeah, well, no it isn't.
We shouldn't derail this thread to talk about NMA, but the last time I followed a link from here I found a mulitpage-essay/rant about the devious history of Bethesda and why they were clearly unfit to produce a true fallout sequel.
Then there's people over there being all "hai guys it might be a fun game perhaps" and then getting banned for trolling.
Someone dig up that one FO2 developers post about their fanbase.
In other news: Is it true the game won't ship with the construction kit? I thought everyone felt that the construction kits included with Morrowind and Oblivion were one of the neatest features.

Actually, I've never played it either. I dunno what it is with me and FPS's...but while I generally like them I'm rather apathetic about buying them.
