I support the apathy idea, but I say apply it to all the games. Assume that they will all suck and that they have all sold out to the lesser masses and that you will despise their pathetic excuse for a game that is obviously just a cash-in. Then not have to suffer from disappointment since you will either be proven right in your beliefs (and get the glow of self-righteous satisfaction to go with it) or be pleasantly surprised as the game exceeds your lower (and therefore more realistic) expectations, as you won't have bought into the hype.

As far as the fact that they are packing titles, I think it might have something to do with the fact that May is when most people get off of school and the studios want there to be some awesome titles waiting for students when they hit the big break.

TW2 and heroes 6. Maybe get ds3.

I desided to get tw2 from gog and a physical copy when its cheaper the problem is i wont be able to run it till i upgrade, i think.

But i want the pre order. Arg. What use is that when i wont be able to use it for a month. Not happy

NOW WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE

There's a Heroes 6 coming? An actual, true to form, new Heroes?

yeah, it was in development for a while now

http://might-and-magic.ubi.com/heroes-6/en-GB/home/

It's coming out soon and there even was a collectors edition revealed

There are many things that I'm worried about it though, I honestly hope to God it will Improve even further on V instead of screwing it up completely...with ubisoft...you may never know what can happen but I pray that the game will be a triumph

You don't want HOMM6. I know you may think you do, but you don't.

Hahahaha! Yes!

Well in May only Witcher 2 and HOMM 6 would be sure buy (if HOMM6 wasn't released by Ubi), I am still yet not convinced by DNF nor FEAR3 and I wouldn't want to touch Fable 3 with a ten billion kilometers long pole (I had the "honor" of playing part of it on XBox, IMHO the worst Fable yet but then again I am not a huge Fable fan to begin with), also I am not sure Brink is really interesting in solo.

So in the end I guess the only game I will buy in May is probably going to be Witcher 2.

I always feel like Fable games don't get a fair shake and it's mostly Molyneux's fault, for hyping them. Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe they are bad.

When someone says "Fable games are linear", I buy that, they are. Linear isn't always bad and it's not like we went from an open sandbox Fable game to a linear set of sequels. If anything Fable has managed to make their linear areas feel and look more open than they actually are. So I don't count it as a knock against it, other than it's not what the big M promised.

When I heard "the morality is stupid" well that's vague and possibly valid or possibly not, I can't do much with that one. "Combat is lame," is also vague, I mean Fable has always been "equip the biggest sword or spell and get awesome with it" this mechanic has never been challenging really (if you want challenging combat, there are games for that, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow comes to mind). I think they actually did a pretty good job making the player feel like a Hero, something beyond human, in this last installment with the flourishes.

I can totally buy that Fable isn't the game you wanted to play. That seems reasonable. But if you avoid anything Molyneux is spewing, Fable seems to do pretty well living up being what it is. It's an epic story (a fable, duh!) where you play a Hero, one of those people who is more than human and shapes the world around themselves.

As an addendum, anyone who paid 60 bucks for Fable when it first came out and got that truncated storyline because they had to ship before it was finished has every right to be pissed. That copy was my birthday present that year... grr!
