And Why not Bioshock 2? Explain youself x2! For me, Modern Warfare 2. "
Lol, I didn't mention Bioshock 2 because I just have a feeling it's going to be a sequel just mooching off the success of the other one. I'll still be getting it for sure but just have a feeling that's all.
I'll never say never (unless I absolutely hated the previous game), but I'm not sold on Bioshock 2 and Max Payne 3.
With Bioshock, from what I've heard (I haven't finished the game yet), the game has plenty of closure & there's no real need to explore Rapture again.
With Max Payne, it looks like such a departure from the first two games. The second game is one of my favorite games of all time- I replay the game on a yearly basis. I loved how over-the-top & hard boiled the game got (even when the game itself became an almost self-parody). But now, the redesign of Max looks way too self-serious and "gritty" for my taste. If it still retains the awesome feel of the previous games, I'm in. But at this point...I'm not so sure.
not buying bioshock cause the story ended in the first one. the magic is gone.
mass effect 2 cause the first one sucked. it was too short the combat was primitive the leveling up system and inventory sucked. and the storyline was garbage. sidequests sucked balls too.
Too Human 2 The first one was fun the first day and then steadily declined. The game really suffered from only having 2 person multilayer. (That type of game really needs 4 or more) And most of the levels seemed very similar and empty.
" Super Street Fighter IV, or I will at least wait for it to be in the bargain bin. Should have been DLC. "
No it shouldn't have been...that is far too much to be added as DLC, it changes the gameplay. "
And rebalances every character. "
Yes. Many things. If they added it as DLC, it would either have to be free (which would be ridiculous because it changes everything) or everybody would be forced to buy it or they wouldn't be allowed to play the multiplayer.

And not to forget it will not be a full retail price game.

I see what your saying, but it just isn't very appealing to me to buy a similar game a year later (even though I probably will end up doing it).
Dead Rising 2. All the flaws with the first game were deliberate gameplay decisions, so apart from cutting out the constant harassment by walkie-talkie, I can't see the sequel fixing any of them.

I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about that ever happening. Infact, any developer who designs their game as a trilogy right off the bat desevers their game to fail.
Unless it's done Bioware style like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, where the universe is designed to be fleshed out and expand, but the first game is still a complete story.
*adds to hate list* In all seriousness, Bioshock is amazing IMO, but I guess some people do not appreciate perfection. "
He never said he didn't like it. I liked it and I think it should never, ever have a sequel. It was the one game that would benefit from standing alone. If you think BioShock was perfect then a sequel would only drag down the reputation of the original. And BioShock, while very good, was far from perfect.
" @Akeldama: You should give it a try it really is leaps and bounds over the first. "
i rented it. I wholeheartedly disagree with your statement. "
Oh Well..sorry to hear that. Is that just not your kind of game what were your issues? "
No matter how hard I tried, I could just not get into the game. It felt like a 1.5 upgrade from the first. I took issue with the climbing as well (coming off fresh from Uncharted 2)
I tried my best not to compare certain aspects of the game to Uncharted 2, but it was really tough. Its like the InFamous > Prototype thing for me. Both games are significantly different, yet comparable in many ways.

Well I think if a game is really good you would get it.

I don't know you well enough to know whether or not you're joking. There are no pragmatics features in text. I know plenty of people who would seriously say BioShock was better than perfect.

I'm not quite sure about about Bioshock 2, but time will tell I guess. Other than that, I can't really think of any sequels I'm not buying (in the realm of what I'm interested in ofc)
I probably won't be getting Bioshock 2; never even finished the first one. I have pre-ordered Mass Effect 2 however, and Spirit Tracks, which is kind of a sequel too.

Bioshock is not perfection. I like it a lot. "
There is no such thing as perfection. I loved the first Bioshock, so much so that a direct sequel of any kind would not appeal to me. Maybe, maybe another "spiritual successor" would work, one that explores similar themes, but in a new setting with new ideas and mechanics...maybe not even an FPS.
@cazamalos: I'm not sure they're using VATS in New Vegas. It's being done by Obsidian, a team made up mostly of ex-Black Isle guys who worked on FO 1 and 2. I'm hoping they bring it a little closer to the original two as far as gameplay goes. I love Fallout 3, but I prefer the classic Fallout style.

I'm worried about Bioshock 2, there's what, 4 studios who worked on it? I dont think its possible to go through so many studios and end up a quality product. I'll wait for reviews but im expecting something bad.
You won't see me buy Dragon Age 2. I wish i could resell my steam copy... what a waste of money, in my opinion. I know tons of people are loving it but I just can't.
And you wont see me buy a Modern Warfare. I like battlefield.

Agreed. The closest thing to it is Ocarina of Time IMO. "
Huh? Majora's Mask, the "sequel" to Ocarina of Time, was a great game as well.
