    Skyrim and Saints Row The Third are both better looking and more engaging action experiences with RPG levelling mechanics.  So no.

    I might pick it up once the price has gone down, I don't feel ready for another hefty RPG just yet.

    The demo killed most of my interest. I'll pick it up when I see it for $20.

    This kinda. Waiting to see what the Giant Bomb crew think of it. A lot of my gaming decisions are based on how the QL looks, and which of the crew are into it.

    Also I played the demo and it didn't wow me as much as I hoped it would.

    I am going to skip it for now. I would love to buy it right now but I already own way too many games that I am not even close to completing.

    It really has nothing to do with the quality of the game. I played the demo and I enjoyed it enough.

    Rent. I rent pretty much everything, then decide if I want to keep it or not(Gamefly). I don't think I will be keeping Amalur, though. Too close to the release of ME3 and Xenoblade, both of which I have pre-ordered and I don't want to buy a game 3 months in a row. Especially considering that I'm getting the more expensive collector's edition for Mass Effect 3.

    Not sure yet, I must admit that it tickled my World of Warcraft fancy, when I saw the graphics in the trailers.

    This is one of those times a quick look gave me the final push and convinced me that buying a game at full price would be something that I regret. So at this point I got (when it comes to my taste) "better" games to play, but I will most likely pick it up during a Steam sale some day.

    I'm skipping, I can't recklessly spend my money anymore. I'm waiting for the MGS HD Collection to plummet in price and to see if Mass Effect 3 sucks or not. Aside from those two not really planning to buy any games for a long while.

    Edit: Gah I forgot SF x Tekken

    RPG is my favourite genre but the demo wasn't very fun so I think I'll skip this game, or buy it when it gets a 66% sale on Steam

    PC, Steam sale.  
      
    Other priorities, and games, that I have to/want to deal with before I buy this. Probably when it hits the $40 mark on a sale. I'm also wary until Jeff drops his review.

    Skyrim and Chrono Trigger have really scratched my RPG itch. I'll buy this and Mass Effect 3 when on sale or used. Preferably <$40

    I've no interest. I still have skyrim and with the Creation Kit out today it's bound to renew my interest in that game.

    I'm pretty interested in checking it out but as always, my stack of unplayed games is currently too high for me to justify running out and buying anything.

    I voted undecided before the QL went up. After watching the quicklook, I felt that it just does absolutely nothing for me. Back to Skyrim it is then (With that fancy new Creation Kit around the corner).

    I played the demo to unlock the Mass Effect stuff.

    It looked like a bad rip-off of Fable 1, and it felt like a bad rip-off of Fable 1.

    I will be skipping this game as hard as I can.

    PC version at launch. Still waiting on my box to appear. Should be here tomorrow or the day after that. I'll never get why EA doesn't do global releases for all their games. In fact, I bloody hate the practice.

    I dunno. There's parts of it that seem cool, but then I played the demo, and I just didn't like it at all. The combat didn't seem great, the story stuff didn't seem great.

    No. I don't think I am. Not unless it's mad cheap or someone convinces me that the combat gets way better later on in the game.

    I dunno if ill buy it in the near future. I mean if I saw this pre skyrim, it would probably be a day 1 purchase. But now the game looks kinda meh to me, especially when compared to skyrim which I'm still not done with. So Ill probably just hold off.

    I'm going to wait and see if it goes on sale durring the steam summer sale or something. The Skyrim creation kit comes out today, so I'm going to be too busy with that for a long time.

    I can wait a couple of months for this one and pick it up a third cheaper. I'll pay $30-$40 for this when it goes on sale. Nothing about it says "buy me right now", though.

    The demo honestly didn't do much for me, so its a toss up between me getting it on a steam sale and me not getting it at all. It will probably be the former, all things considered.
