Monthly games bought poll.

I think SteamKiller's idea of a monthly poll across the
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.* newsgroups is a good idea.

In know there has been a kind of poll already started on *.action, but here
goes anyway;

If anyone interested in gaining an insight into what others are buying and
why, then please also post your games purchase during the month of June
below;

I'll start the ball rolling with;


Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - published by Take Two (?); Dev is Rockstar
North

Battlefield 2 - published by EA. Dev is Dice.


I think I bought Silent Hunter 3 in June, but not sure.

I made no gaming purchases of any sort in the month of June but should point
out that it is uncommon for me to go for a whole month without buying a game
of some sort.

I got if for cheap as it is Beta, updates to future versions are free.
Had nice time with it, but there is little to do besides combat and
training units, and there is no reason to take part in the big battles
which might pose a risk. Plus losing a battle costs too much (*all*
own units).

What genuine discipline !!

I am unlikely to buy anything in July and August -- enjoying Summer,
unless I find something tempting when wandering the bargain-bins.

However, some very interesting (to me) offerings begin to show up in
September.

LOL, yeah, I don't know how I managed!

Seriously though, it really was a case that I did not find anything
particularly compelling, or could not find something at a price I wanted.
Also, I have to admit that the StarForce copy protection scared me away from
a couple of games.

Even though I've made the switch from CRT to LCD, my computer still
generates more heat than I would like in the summer (although it is more
bearable now). This in turn discourages me from gaming very much except
when it's cloudy and cooler out.

This is likely to be the case here too.

Hey, the Yachtsman is going to have your a** for only buying
discounted titles. Even Resurrection of Evil, which is selling very
poorly, and already discounted to $19.99.

Thanks for the list.

I used to love turn based wargaming - from playing hex/board games such as
Swords and Sorcery or Battles of Russian front (a massive paper board hex
based wargame we had to set up in our loft) to the Battle Isle series.

I recently tried Combat Mission, didn't like it and unwittingly started a
very long flame war after posting about it. I'll try out Decisive Battles -
sounds good!

Ah, thanks! I had completely missed the release of SH3! Just ordered it and
noticed that the German version comes on a DVD is and significantly more
expensive than the US version (40 Euro vs 30 USD). I hope there's some
extra content on the DVD, too. I used to be a real SH junkie, but totally
missed out on SH2. I don't normally buy, play or enjoy war simulations, but
this one I can't resist. Hopefully it's anything like the prequels.

People get to know each other over the years of participating in these
newsgroups. Part of this is that you learn their tastes, what games they
enjoy, and how compatible their opinions are to your own ones. Of course,
you're right that without a reason, these lists may not be all that
insightful, but still, I find it interesting to see what games the regulars
here purchase, if only because it provides an opportunity to ask how they
liked the game and whether they'd recommend it.

I think that most people here are adults with jobs, and thus can afford to
buy three or four games a month without having to save. Granted, there are
also regulars who are currently unemployed, but I don't assume that people
go out of their way to upset others who face financial hardship. Also, I
picked up Thief 3 just earlier today because I saw it for ten Euro; I think
that this is well within the price range of everyone who has a computer
that can run the game. If someone wants to "swing their dick", they could
simply post titles of recent games, as nobody can verify that their claims
are true.

Most games I buy these days fail to attract me. That started perhaps six or
seven years ago and still continues. I'm grateful if I get ten hours of
entertainment out of a new game right now. It's certainly possible that I
developed attention deficit disorder, though that wouldn't explain why a
select few games managed to keep me addicted to them for years (Ultima
Online, Diablo 2, some others). Perhaps I've just become jaded, I don't
know. Twenty years ago, new games tended to keep me tied to them for
months, and it was the rule rather than the exception. I'm not saying that
games have gotten worse (that's Trasher's theory), but the fact remains
that most of the games fail to keep me attracted for longer than a week.

My list of PC games purchased in June, 2005 (all newsgroups cut except
C.S.I.P.G.A):

Some fairly recent, some not-so-fairly recent, and some' "old" mostly
Adventure genre games, and all for PC:

Aura: Fate of the Ages:
Sentinel: Descendants in Time (look for a re-name from the publisher, The
Adventure Company soon)
Nancy Drew: The Curse of Blackmoor Manor
Dark Fall II: Lights Out!
Doom 3
Vampires Masquerades: Bloodlines
Still Life (again, PC only)
Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Silver Earring
Bioscopia
Silent Hill 3 (again, PC only)
Syberia
Syberia II

Stiil want to play Schizm II (Mysterious Journey II: Chameleon) and Alida,
but haven't run across these yet

As one may well surmise, I upgraded my PC and can now play all these games
smoothly (where I couldn't before).

Thanks!

Pirates of the Sword Coast premium module for Neverwinter Nights
(excellent!)

I bought it because it's a D&D game and I was craving for good NWN
modules (still am, I want more).

The only two other games I've bought this year were Sims 2 and Freedom
Force 2. I also occasionally pay a month of City of Heroes.

I have the money to buy more games, but I don't see any more superhero
or D&D games coming out, so games companies don't get my money. Their
loss, my more free time.

Okay, here are the reasons:

Fate: It's a very well-done, "light" breed of Nethack and Diablo 2, which
quite appeals to me. There's no story line, no complex gameplay or steep
learning curve, it's just plain fun for whenever you have an hour or two
for hack'n'slash and treasure hunting. I particularly like how available
the developer is. He even provided his own Excel sheets for various
monster, skill and treasure stats when asked via email. For 20 dollars,
this is a real steal. Get this one if you remotely like the genre, even if
just to support low-prices games.

The Fall: This game came out in Germany in last fall already, but it was
bug-ridden and incomplete like so many titles lately, so I had skipped it.
The developer continued to provide patches and eventually released a 1.2 GB
large update, the "extended version". Most of the bugs had been fixed and
various interfaces were changed based on user feedback. So, I finally went
out and picked up the game. Haven't regretted it yet. So far it seems like
a fun apocalypsic CRPG with pretty graphics and an immersing plot. I'm not
normally into "...in the Ashes" (I'm almost embarrassed that I read these
books!) and "Postman" settings, but I have to admit the setting is very
atmospheric. It's a good game. Patch 1.9, which should be released soon,
will rebalance the weapons and finally introduce facial mimics in the
dialogs, so the international/English release shouldn't be far off. This is
a game I can *now* recommend.

Dungeon Lords: Oh, well, what can I say? Great design, plenty of potential,
but the game is terribly incomplete and unfinished, even after patch 1.3. I
meant to return it to the store, but the softie I am I decided to keep it
anyway. If the developers keep working on it, this could turn into a real
neat fantasy CRPG. As it stands right now, I can't really recommend it,
though.

Preview for next month: I picked up Silent Hunter 3, Thief 3 and Sacred
Underworld (yes, yes, I bought it -- sue me!) yesterday. Haven't had much
time to play those yet, so it'll be a while before I have formed an
opportunity on these games. I doubt I'll buy anything else in July, but
we'll see. SH3 looks extremely promising, and I normally dislike WW2 games
(am too close to the history of my people, and had a grandfather who shared
many of his wartime experiences with me, and he never glorified them --
deep down, I find it perverted to turn the suffering and desperation of
these men and women into a source of entertainment).

Totally unrelated: I just re-read the first six books of Terry Goodkind's
"Sword of Truth" cirlce (had read them in 1995-97) and still believe they
are more worthwhile than most games.
