April 20, 200916 yr My Mac Mini arrives in like a week, so I figured it's time to start getting excited about games again. What good PC games do you know of that come out in the future? I'm looking forward to: Diablo 3 Obsidian's Fallout Alpha Protocol Dragon Age It's not a big list. Surely I'm missing some things?
April 20, 200916 yr Diablo 3, I wish they'd include a non-human player character, just for once. Alpha Protocol and Fallout: New Vegas, for painfully obvious reasons. Half-Life 2: Episode 3, just because it'll be awesome, it's Valve and Cryostasis made me love nuclear icebreaker. And anything else, provided it's awesome and coherent.

April 20, 200916 yr D3 SC2 Alpha Protocol Assassins Creed 2 Mass Effect 2 Bioshock 2 (kinda) Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
April 20, 200916 yr There's the next Deus Ex game. While it almost certainly wont live up to the original, I'm hoping it will learn from the abject failure of Invisible War and at least be a decent DX-style game. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Even with dual boot the nVidia 9400 isn't really top of the line... I'm mostly looking forward to Diablo 3, as well as Half-Life 2 Episode 3 and Portal 2. Edited April 20, 200916 yr by Purkake

April 20, 200916 yr Author Anybody know about any good strategy games coming out? Or that have come out in the past 2 years?
April 20, 200916 yr Anybody know about any good strategy games coming out? Or that have come out in the past 2 years? Does Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13 count? Company of Heroes?
April 20, 200916 yr Men of War is supposed to be really good, haven't tried it myself though. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan

April 21, 200916 yr Hmm. Alpha Protocol will be bought, no matter how penniless I will be when it comes out. Dragon Age. I've been waiting for a new high fantasy game from BioWare. I suppose my wish will be granted later this year. I hope it will be worth it, else I'll burn someone at the stake. Br
April 21, 200916 yr Men of War is supposed to be really good, haven't tried it myself though. Its a good game but the horrible voiceacting does take away a great deal of that. It is without a doubt the worst Ive even encountered in a game and Ive seen a lot.

April 21, 200916 yr Anybody know about any good strategy games coming out? Or that have come out in the past 2 years? Does Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13 count? Of course it does, it is the best mod for the best strategy game ever. Well, Xcom wasn't too shabby either.
April 21, 200916 yr Anybody know about any good strategy games coming out? Or that have come out in the past 2 years? Does Jagged Alliance 2 v1.13 count? Company of Heroes? That. CoH is the only RTS I've ever been able to *really* get into, and I still play JA2 1.13 because it doesn't really have legitimate competition in turn-based squad tactical games.

April 25, 200916 yr There are demos out for Still Life 2 and Secret Files 2. This might turn out to be a good year for adventuring. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
April 25, 200916 yr Author People still play adventure games? Considering I never have, would it be worth starting now?
April 25, 200916 yr Yes!!! If you've never played them, there are good new games as well as old classics to try. Some of the best games ever made were adventures. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
April 25, 200916 yr Author OK, well besides those two above, what are some good ones to try? Preferably a mix of new and old (with the old ones designated). Thanks!
April 25, 200916 yr All the old Lucasarts adventures. This. As well as The Longest Journey. It was utterly fantastic. Some of my Youtube Classic Roland MT-32 Video Game Music videos | My Music | My Photography
April 25, 200916 yr All the old Lucasarts adventures. This. As well as The Longest Journey. It was utterly fantastic. This(TLJ), I just finished it for the first time and it's awesome. Some of the Lucasarts ones still feature the nonsensical puzzles of the early years, while most of the stuff in The Longest Journey is pretty logical(and still funny), so I would recommend that to begin with. Also, TLJ is on Steam while Lucasarts stuff is not.
April 25, 200916 yr Diablo 3 - Only because of Boyarski. I used to love Blizzard's graphical style in the old SC and Diablo games, but then WC3 and WoW came out and ruined that reputation. Starcraft 2 - Does not look as good at all as it's predecessor, but I think that regardless of a lacking visual style, it will be a good, balanced, fun online RTS. Hearts of Iron 3 - The sequel to the best WW2 RTS game ever. No additional comments needed. Alpha Protocol - Duh. Fallout: New Vegas - I thought the Fallout franchise would be lost forever to Bethesda and MMORPG silliness, but apparently not. Demigod - The next generation in online RTS games? Zeno Clash came out a few days ago (and was utterly awesome), so it doesn't count as a game I'm looking forward to anymore. Also, I am secretly looking forward to the Sims 3. Dragon Age has me intrigued, but I've really found it hard playing Bioware games after I was massively disappointed with NWN. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
