Haitoku Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 It's 2006, and already see immense potential. After watching this amazing 17 minute trailer, Persona 3 is easily the game I am absolutely drooling over. I've recently finished Persona 2 : Eternal Punishment and it's easily one of the best RPGs I have ever played (clocked in over 100 hours ) and without a dout the best PSone (Yes, even ripping that slot from Chrono Cross...). I have extremely high hopes for this game... just reaching the US will be a grand task. Like most Atlus games, Persona 3 features incredibly controversial themes... In fact, the main characters summon their anima by shooting themselves in the head... The last patch of Atlus games made it here without too much censoring, I sure hope this holds true to Persona 3. Another game I am looking forward to is Xenosaga Episode III: Also Sprach Zarathustra. This games story is just epic. It easily has the most diverse and developed cast of characters I've ever seen. This game is the last in the series, hopefully it will rap up all the lose ends. Of course I am looking forward to Neverwinter Nights 2. After playing KOTOR 2 I've really fallen in love with Obsidian's storytelling style (It's the journey that matters, not the destination!). Though I have never had much love for games that follow the D&D style so closely, I am very optimistic about this game. Few others I'm interested in... Red Orchestra which is being released via Steam in a few days! I really love the idea of making an intense, realistic FPS. I've never missed a Final Fantasy title and I don't plan on missing Final Fantasy XII. Also, though I hate to say it, I am also looking forward to Oblivion. It's worth a shot at the very least. Anyways, what games are YOU looking forward to?
Oerwinde Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Suikoden V - I own I-IV and enjoyed all of them, and from what I've seen it looks like they fixed all the stuff I didn't like in IV. Neverwinter Nights 2 of course FFXII - Liked all the others except VIII and XI(never played), and this one is from the guys who did FF Tactics and Vagrant Story, two of the better Square games. Xenosaga III - even though I haven't started II yet. I need to finish replaying the first one so I can transfer my save data, but the one boss in the middle of the first one is a pain. Spore - Looks possibly like one of the funnest games ever. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Nartwak Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Spore Final Fantasy XII Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence Neverwinter Nights 2 Persona 3 Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Darque Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Shadow Hearts: From the new world (w00t) Oh, wait, picked that up yesterday. Nuthin'. ...............maybe Persona 3 though.
kumquatq3 Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) Zelda: Twilight Princess Basically anything using the Revolution controller for new gameplay NWN2 Oblivion somewhat, mostly cuz of the insight into possible effects on Fallout most of the '06 games I was waiting for (not many) have already hit Edited March 10, 2006 by kumquatq3
Lare Kikkeli Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 nwn 2 bioschock oblivion (somewhat) new zelda, whatever they call it call of cthulhu
kumquatq3 Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Duke Nukem Forever <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A True Believer
Haitoku Posted March 10, 2006 Author Posted March 10, 2006 Shadow Hearts: From the new world (w00t) Oh, wait, picked that up yesterday. Nuthin'. ...............maybe Persona 3 though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've been thinking about trying out the Shadow Hearts series... What are they about and are they all connected? Also... have you finished playing the first Persona? Or starting the second? (Persona 3 starts a 'fresh' new storyline, you can expect guest from the previews games though) Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence I really want to buy this game... However, I already own the game... Dunno if the online play is worth the extra $30. Duke Nukem Forever Serious Sam is a good subtitute... even though it's such a blatant rip-off.

alanschu Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Doomsday NWN2 Oblivion That's all I can think of at the moment.
Nartwak Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) I really want to buy this game... However, I already own the game... Dunno if the online play is worth the extra $30. It would be less if you trade in your copy of Snake Eater. I didn't pick up Snake Eater myself, so I've put in a preorder for the Limited Edition of Subsistence. Edited March 10, 2006 by Nartwak
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Dragon Quest VIII (yep I know we are way behind but at least this one is coming over here). Final Fantasy XII Twilight Princess Chibi Robo The Revolution Trauma Centre I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
karka Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 - Of course NWN2. - Fallout 3. (Yes, i am looking forward to it too. I can't stop myself) - Dragon Age - Mass Effect (I am a Bioware fanboi) - Hellgate London (For some mindless action) - Eschalon: Book 1 - The Witcher - Starcraft: Ghost - Me and My Katamari
Maedhros Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Metal Gear Solid 4 Goldeneye: Source Perfect Dark: Source Twilight Princess Oblivion Fallout 3 Neverwinter Nights 2 Starcraft 2 Don't know how many of these will be released in the nearest future, but these are the games I'm really looking forward to anyway.
SteveThaiBinh Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Dreamfall - Game of the Year for me. Broken Sword 4 - though I doubt it will be out so quickly, despite what the developer says. Galactic Civilizations 2 (already out, but I'm waiting for them to tweak it into perfection). Oblivion - I liked Morrowind, and hopefully this will be even better. Neverwinter Nights 2 - I'm hoping for Baldur's Gate 2 with pretty graphics. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
karka Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 It's 2006, and already see immense potential. (Yes, even ripping that slot from Chrono Cross...). Now, that's interesting
mkreku Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Gothic 3 is at the top of the list for me. Rogue Galaxy (for the Playstation 2) is another one I'm keeping a look-out for. Boiling Point 2 has been announced, but that is faaar away. Still interested. STALKER still has me pondering. I will at least check it out if it's ever released. And of course the 'naturals': Oblivion, Neverwinter Nights 2, Spore, Bioshock. Those are all I can remember off the top of my head. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
BattleCookiee Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Supreme Commander Dungeon Siege2 Broken Worlds S.T.A.L.K.E.R NWN2 UT2K7 Runaway 2 Dreamfall Red Alert 3 (if they return to the roots instead of the Generals junk)
astr0creep Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) Oblivion NWN2 FF12 Mass Effect Dragon Age I'm really behind for 2005 so I will get up to date and pick up the 2006 lineup when they reach "Greatest hits" status. FEAR, DQ8, God of War, GalCiv2, Darkwatch, Quake 4. Edited March 10, 2006 by astr0creep http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
