Maria Caliban Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 You know I'm getting it. Trapping people in rooms with no exits so they die of starvation, getting everyone to fight and woo-hoo, and setting the house on fire - these are a few of my favorite things. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Pidesco Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 The Sims is like a masterclass in making a hardcore PC game appeal to the masses.

aries101 Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Dragon Age: Origins for the PC looks interesting. So does the English version of Drakensang - the dark eye. Eschalon - book 2 looks great, too.Alpha Protocol looks semi-interesting as well, at least for me. For adventure games, I'm looking forward to Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper.

Morgoth Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Drakensang is very average. Not bad, it does technically everything fine, but it lacks the brilliance and maturity of a Bioware or Obsidian RPG. This year is a good year for games, especially for RPGs. Dragon Age, ME2, AP, Aliens, Risen... man, that's 5 RPGs, in a single year? Is I in heaven?!!11 Edited January 18, 2009 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Wow. Hadn't noticed that before. I am going to love this year. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Bokishi Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Yep I'm getting 3 copies of Sims 3 Current 3DMark
Deadly_Nightshade Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Yep I'm getting 3 copies of Sims 3 All for you? "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Hell Kitty Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I'm really looking forward to The Sims 3, what with the whole open world thingy and the fact they've completely redone the rule system. Of course the real question is, will it still take a Sim an hour to take a leak?
Mamoulian War Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 It's only a month until The Sims 3 comes out. I might get a couple copies of that as well (one for me and one for my little sister), but only if it has no limited-installations or on-line activations.

Pushtrak Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 My most wanted games aren't the most well known. L.A Noire Saboteur The Outsider Heavy Rain (Thats likely the best known) L.A Noire has been in the dark for far too long. Same with The Outsider.
Morgoth Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) I just learned that "I Am Alive" gets released this March. That's pretty soon, considering that we basically still know nothing about it. A trailer from E3 2008, some screenshots, nothing else. I'll keep an eye on that. Edited January 21, 2009 by Morgoth Rain makes everything better.
Calax Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Why is it I'm able to call "Good game/Bad Game" based solely on previews? I mean that I watch a preview which the people are glowing about how great it's going to be, but when watching the gameplay I think "You know how fast that looks like its going to get boring?" People were gushing about Iron Man before it came out, then it pops out and it's a boring repetitive game. I'm now looking at inFamous and thinking "sure it sounds good on paper but who in the world walks around with their hand in held out like that?" I saw a preview where they showed off a couple of things and all I could see was that the Demo guy was using the same 2 combos, and the climbing mechanic seems like it came from 4 years ago. I'm almost willing to put money on it as a "Bland cross between grand theft auto and the force unleashed". Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Maria Caliban Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Meh. If we're not supposed to speculate on whether a game will be good or bad before we've played it, then how did this thread reach seven pages? It's something we do. It's fine to disagree with another's speculation - this is the interwebs after all - but I see no reason to take someone to task simply for speculating.

Tale Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 People were gushing about Iron Man before it came out, then it pops out and it's a boring repetitive game. Who were these people? Are you sure you didn't imagine their existance? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Are you sure you didn't imagine their existance? Actually there were several previews that said it looked like it would be a good game (Xplay is the one I get off the top of my head, but I think there was a Gameinformer preview as well). There have actually been several games where I've looked at them and said "looks boring and repetative, probably will get bad reviews". Of course then there are also those games that are just terrible and have NO publicity behind them (Legendary for example) Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Deadly_Nightshade Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 ...Legendary for example... Only because they had just released the "wonderful" Turning Point: Fall of Liberty and had no money to ad-spam. "Geez.

Dark_Raven Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 They still make good games? Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 They still make good games? Occatinaly... That's mostly by accident though... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Deraldin Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) They still make good games? Nope. Absolutely not. Anyone who says otherwise is a dirty rotten liar. There hasn't been a good game in years. The best you can hope for these days is merely acceptable. Edited January 31, 2009 by Deraldin
