Sooo.. a fantasy RPG from BioWare.. looks pretty decent.

Who's pre-ordered? Lots of pre-order bonuses, apparently, including armour for Mass Effect 2. Yay?

The marketing for this game is fucking awful but it'll probably be pretty good anyway

I'm currently fixated on Borderlands, but I do have high hopes for this one, too.

Borderlands will suck (it will be very average). Mark my words.

Also, I would buy Bioware's poop if they put it into a nice box with a fancy name on it.

I suppose I'll find that out for myself. On the 26th.

I have to agree.

It's just.. bad. It's a dark, mature, game but all the marketing seems to be aimed towards teenage males from the use of heavy metal backing music and things like general "U WILL BE AWSUM AN POWRFUL" trailers.

It's like the marketing department doesn't even know what the game is.

I'm waiting for reviews on this one. It could be good, it could be bad. In my mind, they failed pretty hard on Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, so my expectations aren't too high for Dragon Age.

Right now I'm waiting for Tuesday for Brutal Legend.

Both, really.

Then, in November: Assassin's Creed II (fuk), God of War Collection (whee!)

Assassin's Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2 welp

I really want to pick up ODST, but I'd like to at least pretend I spend my money responsibly

I didn't like NWN, but I thought NWN2 was enjoyable.

Too short though.

Same here. NWN2 was good, great even.

Though they still haven't surpassed the Baldurs Gate series (1, 2, and Throne expansion) which was just.. epic.. in every sense of the word.

Actually, Obsidian did NWN2. Bioware lost the license or something.

Fully agreed. The Baldur's Gate series (really, the Infinity Engine games in general) was amazing.

I liked KotOR and Mass Effect better than either Baldur's Gate.

It's really good after the initial stealth mission.

Yeah

I was used to video games behaving as video games rather than board games before I played Baldur's Gate. In other words, I didn't like it that much.

I didn't mind it. I only hit a fail state twice, though, so that probably colors my perception.

Definitely continuing to use stealth takedowns whenever possible, though.
