    Elder Scrolls is about it. I will probably eventually buy MW3 and Batman Arkham City. In any case I won't buy any at full price.

    I dunno why, but I'm looking forward to Skyrim and Saints Row. I haven't even played their predecessors. :confused:

    If Rockstar manages to port LA Noire well, that's a no-brainer for me. I played it a bit with my brother this summer, and it's the most innovative and delightful gaming experience I've had since Amnesia.

    I had such a good time with the first Batman that AC is 100% for me.

    Too bad D3 was pushed back to around March (from December) :(

    I already have Skyrim and MW3 pre-ordered. The other ones I'm in no rush for.

    Speaking of which, pre-loading MW3 on Steam now!

    Looking forward to Batman AC and Skyrim. But won't pre-order either them, nor play em on day 1. I'll probably wait a few weeks, month for things to settle. Both are console port titles and I expect some disappointment for PC on day 1 release. Wait for at least a patch to resolve some of those issues. I just don't have any faith that Bethesda or Rocksteady will do a proper PC relesae on day 1.

    Diablo 3 is delayed til 2012 last I read

    Tried to play the first game, tried to play the 2nd. Got so bored with em never finished either. For me personally, AC series ranks #1 as most overrated game of the decade.

    Also AC:Rev is no longer a November release. Believe it's been delayed until December.

    Does AC have that God awful DRM - constant internet connection required?

    I'm really surprised to see Skyrim twice the votes as Batman Arkham City.

    Definitely cannot wait for Skyrim and it gets my vote. I'll be standing in the cold at 12am Friday to get my copy, rush home to install it, and play non-stop!

    Everyone I come in contact IRL that plays video games keeps saying Skyrim this, Skyrim that. I didn't know what it even was until all the talk at work/school influenced me to google it and find out, so I'm not surprised it's over-taking Batman in the polls :p Almost half a dozen people are booking the release day off work too.

    The Youtube videos look good, but I'm not willing to try it ...can't be overloaded with too much games. Already have Heroes VI/Battlefield 3 (getting soon)/Batman: AC (soon) as my trio for this year ;)

    Absolutely love Heroes VI (way, way better than Heroes V in-case anyone is considering it). Fully customized heroes (melee or spell caster), huge talent trees, etc. ...best one since Heroes III.

    Then Skyrim at the start of 2012 for you!

    By then most of the patches hopefully will be out, the game will be bug fixed and then revamped properly for PC cause you know a release Skyrim will be a console port disaster (PC Gamers crying). And possibly a smaller price tag.

    I like your thinking.

    Well, I think it's probably two things. One, people still have an aversion to movie/comic based games. Two, I think a lot of people that wanted AC already got it for a console.

    I'm buying Skyrim this weekend because I'm a sucker for fantasy RPGs. I expect to be locked in my room all weekend.

    Ive never played any of the previous Skyrim (morrowind) games. I'll get Skyrim, but may wait till the new year / its on sale. Fingers have been burnt with Dragon Age II, and Skyrim is also 'dumbing' down (as compared to old fashion RPG's in the Baldurs Gate sense)

    Batman Arkham City is on pre-order, got it for a nice price (£25 with Blu ray's of Dark Night and Batman Begin's), so just waiting on that to drop through the letterbox. Brought the first one (Arkham Asylum) a year ago. Still never completed it (I end up getting half way through and restarting it for some silly reason), but thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was. :D

    Ive brought Battlefield 3, so this will take most of my November (and December) gaming time away!! haha

    Off topic, but why do Brits say "brought" as the past tense of "buy"? You wouldn't "bruy" something, so why would you have "brought" it? Always confused me.

    Brought is a word. Bruy is not. Look it up.

    More than likely he's just got brought and bought confused today, lapse in brain.

    Skyrim

    All the rest I will simply wait, or skip.

    Skyrim is a game I should be salivating for, given my overall tastes in games, but I'm not. MW3 is a game I shouldn't be salivating for, given my overall tastes in games, but for some reason I am. Go figure.

    Honorable mention to Arkham City, but I'm not buying it until I finish Arkham Asylum, and it'll probably be cheaper then too.

    I know that brought is a word, but it does not mean "to have purchased".

    British people commonly say brought instead of bought and I just never understood it.
