Most anticipated games of 2011

Post » Thu Jul 01, 2010 12:57 pm

Just read http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33076/Survey_Shows_Gears_Of_War_3_As_Most_Anticipated_Purchase_In_US_UK.php about the most anticipated games of 2011 - Skyrim doesn't even make the top 25 - I don't get it!

I thought there was a real buzz for this? The Gameinformer Hub had a huge number of hits.

It's on my list of purchases anyway :)

I am only going to buy two games this year. Shogun II: Total war to start this year and Skyrim to end this year :)
Both are not on the list but I don't care. Lists are stupid...

They must be really excited about Mortal Kombat as it doesnt just appear once on their list but twice.

Where is Age of Decadence? Curse them, curse them all! *shakes fist*

...oh...

It's a list based on a survey of what the largest number of people are looking forward to / intending to buy.

Firstly, surveys like this can be worded very manipulatively depending on who is paying for it. Secondly, Avatar.

Look at the bottom of the list. Sample size = 1000
"Ipsos' data is based on internet surveys of 1,000 game players and purchasers"

---- plus: people had to vote on games that were on a list that the survey company had set up. Maybe Skyrim wasn't even on the list (because the client feared it would overshadow the other games :P)

This survey isn't worth the bytes it was written on.

Heck, they don't even have the Witcher II on their list. No Skyrim nor Witcher II. Wankers. :verymad:

Are you people bashing this list in specific or just all lists there are ?

Because "top ??" lists are pointless, they are only there to increase sales and don′t have any relevance to how good a game is, one can make a personal list, but a definite "top ??" list is just stupid and disfunctional.

I like my spaghetti with sugar and ketchup the most (and no I do not replace the salt with sugar, I put salt and sugar comes later when the spaghetti is out of the pot), is spaghetti with sugar and ketchup now number 1 of the best 25 spaghetti recipes out there ? Will everyone think it′s the stuff of legends, the best spaghetti ever to touch ones lips! Well I think so, but... not so sure about the rest of you guys.

http://www.technama.com/2010/top-10-most-anticipated-games-of-2011/


This article is just as much of a troll as the first article, it said:

Other Worthy Mentions:
Dragon Age 2 : too quick for my liking im still getting used to the DLCs, hence the drop in anticipation levels.


But it has Modern Warefare 3 up there, and both games were released at around the same period, but COD has a lot more clones than DA's DLCs.

It's not just that, though. One of the GI articles, the one about asking TH questions, I think, that had more comments than any other Game Informer article EVAR!!!!!!

That's how anticipated Skyrim is.

Who gives a [censored]. The truth will surface once E3 roles around. There is no other studio that does what BGS is doing with Skyrim... it will sell far better than Oblivion I reckon and if you like games and still dont check out TES.. well Im sorry. Enjoy your Madden if it even releases this year.

Skyrim needs more advertising - showing the same pics only gets the hard core fans excited and talking about spears.

Mortal Kombat is actually shaping up to be a great game, unlike MvC3.

The list doesn't feature Portal 2, Skyrim or Deus Ex: Human Revolution, so it can't be taken seriously.
