New Releases are not really *NEW* anymore... Testicles... That is all
mabman | 5:29 AM on 05.05.2008 10 comments


Is it just me, or is everything hyped to the point of exhaustion. Or I may not have enough patience. Or maybe I'm bitter. Every game now garners as much hype as it possibly can and I'M OUT OF PATIENCE. Spore, how long was Spore introduced to the gaming community. 2 years - E3 2006?



If I see this god-diddly-arned image one more time, I'm gunna punch babies to the consistency of skittles. Give me a gaming site that did not have Nico's face pasted on it for the past 4 months. How long have we been waiting for StarCraft 2 - August 2006 it was beginning to be hinted at. Fallout 3 has been toying with us for more than a year.



Final Fantasy XIII was official come May 8th, E3 2006. Why are you telling me then - you should be telling me now. I am done with this waiting - nothing is a nice surprise anymore in this ultra-hype contemporary era. I can only hope for some surprises come this E3 as long as the clientele stop dropping out like a spider pig dropping off the Sears Tower. I do not want to even begin with those bound to be mediocre titles such as the hack n' slasher "Too Human" which was planned to be one of the PS3s launching titles. It screams the video game equivalence of "I Am Legend." Am I the only one tired of this waiting, of this ridiculous introduction and hype time - Spore looked as if was ready to launch a year ago - am I the only one taking crazy pills?

yeah i will have to admit, the waiting is taking its toll... i have just about stopped looking at games i would like to buy so as to leave some fun when i actually play it.

I was thinking the other day how cool it would be if suddenly out of no where a game no one thought would come... hits shelfs and totally takes the industry by the pants....

yeah ... never gonna happen.

I just realized that Soul Calibur IV is coming out at the end of July instead of June like I thought.

For every game that has been in the making for years, there's another that is announced and released silently without anyone ever noticing. In fact, a lot of the games I really love from last year were games that really got no attention. They were announced, and within a year released.

I think its less lazy development and more insane hype on 1% of the games that actually get released. Last I heard, Too Human may break the record of the most expensive video game developed to date (minus MMO's, I would assume).

At any rate.. waiting is fine, but there better not be any major bugs in the titles. They better be polished to a shine.

"Fallout 3 has been toying with us for more than a year."

That's an understatement. I remember frantically following Fallout signs to Bethesda's booth at E3 in 2005 hoping to get even the smallest nugget of information on the title.

Patience, young one.

I am still waiting on my damn PS4 for to arrive.. I mean I sent M$ my 360 when it RROD and they said I would be getting my PS4! Ugh, waiting is so hard :(

It works both ways. To release or not to release. At least Spore is more of a console title anyway. Though the RTS aspects may be a little more difficult to control in console.

 about me

I am Gargamel. I am a seemingly limited wizard and a bunglar at best. Depsite my wizardry I cannot outwit 3-inched small blue people nor outrun them... And according to the picture I have acute parkinson's disease... and I wear the same black robe everyday...sweet... I don't game, I hunt for Smurfs despite the fact they will eventually all die out - cause they're asexual. They can't reproduce. Ya, that means no expected Smurfette gang-bang. Its as smooth as a Barbie down there... But I don't care its what I do - my hobby. I am the Jack Thompson of smurfs \o/
