Video and/or Computer games you want!

Sapphire Wolf · Post by **Sapphire Wolf** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:31 pm

Write down all of the videogames you want at the time, in order of greatest to least greatest. Then you rate the list above you. Post when you find out about new games you want, or priorites change( BTW, systems and other hardware for video-games count, like controllers and stuff).

Here's mine:
1. Nintendo Wii
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl(for the Wii)
3. Metroid Prime 3(for the Wii)
4. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess(for either Gamecube or the Wii)
6. War World(for the PC) Note: this is one of the new Mech/Mecha games.
6. Mario Kard DS(for the Nintendo DS, as usual)
7. PSP
8. Core Decision(for the PC)

That's all I can think of.

UT2007
Halo 3
Core Decision
That other RPG.... forgot the name. The one about a nuclear explosion. I think THQ is making it but it has been so freaking long since I have seen anything from it.

Supposedly it should have allready been out by now.

Supreme Commander.
Core Decision.

I also want to play games that will never be made, in particular Kotor 3, Thief 4, Mechwarrior 5, or even a decent Deus Ex clone. Innovation has gone out the window when the only notworthy innovation is when you can flip upside down in a god-damn FPS.

Funny, seems I recall you and I thinking some FPS we used to play together was revolutionary because you could fly upside down? Think it started with a D..... can't remember the name....

Sirius · Post by **Sirius** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 6:57 am

Actually, reading this, there are a few games I intend to at least look into if not buy outright. Can't say I'm that impatient right now though.

1. NWN2 (hopefully it'll be decent)
2. GW Nightfall (time will tell though - Factions wasn't that great)
3. UT2k7 (mainly for potential. I care a fair bit more about mods than the base game)
4. Core Decision (should be worthwhile if it happens)

Haven't the faintest what plans are for any MW series continuation, and it looks like FASA Studio are busy with a Shadowrun RPG - which the hard-core fans apparently hate because they changed too much - for the meanwhile, so it'll likely be another year or so before they try their next project.

Seen Oblivion and played it a bit recently. It's not bad, at least in some areas - but unfortunately they didn't use the technology they had as well as they could have. Compared with Guild Wars, which had great texturing and pretty decent engine capabilities, Oblivion seems to have taken a more minimalist approach to the artwork and just thrown shaders at it like crazy. A lot of stuff works well, and the cities and open areas are more impressive than Guild Wars - but sadly the character detail and animation is flat out worse, and there isn't anything to justify the fact that it basically won't run on anything less than a relatively recent machine (P4 3 GHz/GF 6xxx series or better). My brother, who is running a Celeron 1700 and GF FX5200, was getting about 2-3 FPS in Oblivion, compared to perfectly playable in GW (at least 40). Oblivion was on bare minimum detail, versus GW on almost full.

Other than that, the gameplay at least is kind of different. The world reminds me very much of Zelda 64 - except, yes, prettier by a fair way - and the combat style is a throwback to games of old such as Hexen and Amulets of Armor (for those that recognise either). Incidentally it allows both first- and third-person view, and allows a near-ridiculous level of customisation of the character - to the point of having dozens of variables to define face shape (unfortunately it's still difficult to get them away from \"kind of ugly\").

Ergo, gameplay original and fairly interesting... but the graphics engine wasn't really worth it.

TIGERassault · Post by **TIGERassault** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:06 am

I just found out today about Micro Machines V4. I woulda added it to the list, except I found out about it in my local games store with €30 in my posket.

Messenger, have a look at the market right now. How many Descent-like games do you see out there? Now compare that to the number of Quake-like games. I rest my case.

X2 what Sirius said, I lost interest in Oblivion because it didnt have that "glue" that Morrowind had, and on top of that I got tired of tweaking my system so I could get decent frame rates. They could just have easily spent some time to create a separate set of shaders or tone it down a bit like what some are doing here so that people on older hardware or those who want high FPS could play it, but alas they didn't care.

Xamindar · Post by **Xamindar** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:10 pm

OMG PORTAL!!!

Finally someone thinks of an original idea. I'll have to get this game.

Other than that: Core Decision if it ever comes out.

Dakatsu · Post by **Dakatsu** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 3:27 pm

PC Games:
1: Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
2: Unreal Tournament 2007
3: Core Descision
4: Halo 2
5: Halo 3

Xamindar · Post by **Xamindar** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 4:42 pm

I wonder why Core Decision wasn't at E3? Words from Koolbear a while ago suggest that it is at least at an \"E3 demo video\" stage. Wouldn't they want to promote it as much as possible? Or is it really expensive to register in E3?

Sirius · Post by **Sirius** » Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:52 pm

It probably is significantly expensive.

Kyouryuu · Post by **Kyouryuu** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 2:25 am

- Guitar Hero 2
(PS2 - Because the first one was so much fun)

- Mega Man ZX (DS - A hybrid with Mega Man gameplay in a Castlevania \"open world\" format)

- Prey (PC - Technically, it's on the way. Not since Descent has a game been so delightfully insane about gravity)

- Shadow of the Colossus (PS2 - The largest bosses of any game I've seen. Waiting for this to hit the $20 Greatest Hits line-up)

- Quake 4 (PC - Impulse... it's $20 now and it includes Quake 2)

- Half-Life 2: Episode 2 (PC - But I wish they'd fix the crashes with Episode 1

)

It's a good game. The Colossi are the only creatures you face in it, but you get 18 of them and the scale and detail is simply great. Probably one of the better games I've beaten in the last few months.

Games I'd like to get would probably be...
Prey
UT2007
Half-Life2 and expansions: Simply because I haven't played it yet, hadn't had the PC for it.

Perhaps GuildWars & Expansion...not sure if I want to get involved in an MMORPG, but its free so...yay

Probably be a few more eventually

Sirius · Post by **Sirius** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 2:41 am

Tyranny - the original game of Guild Wars, most people agree, is better than Factions. (Nightfall is coming out at some point, but obviously no word on quality yet. After next weekend when they run a beta there may be though.)

Thus, if you plan to get any of it, make it the original. Factions isn't TOO bad, but it's not the first one to buy.

Stupid · Post by **Stupid** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 9:55 pm

1. Xenosaga Episode III: Also Spracht Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra)--End of the series (until maybe PS3 or PSP)
2. Final Fantasy XII (^^Ep. 3 will be out before FFXII supposedly, when FFXII was (at one time) supposed to come out on the same day as XS Ep. 2, heh heh))
3. Rogue Galaxy (new Factor (or is it Level) 5 game (same company that did Dragon Quest VIII.)
4. Valkyrie (SP?) Profile: Lenneth (PSP)
5. Depending on whether or not I like Lenneth, the new Valkyrie Profile game for the PS2 (Sylmeria?)

Yes, I didn't even know that it was possible to make a blank post. ^_~

All I want right now is Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Runs great on this system. ^_^ I don't think that the Nintendo Wii and Metroid Prime 3 etc. count because they haven't been released yet, so I'm not going to list them.

DarkFlameWolf · Post by **DarkFlameWolf** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 8:37 am

Only two games have my interest right now for purchase once I finish BOT training:
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (for Gamecube)
Prey (for PC)

That's about it. I would try Quake 4, but it seems like it would be more of the same old stuff from Doom 3, just more frentic and more wide-open spaces. Where Prey really looks like its updated and revamped the FPS gameplay.

Sapphire Wolf · Post by **Sapphire Wolf** » Tue Aug 01, 2006 12:31 pm

I frogot more:
Robotech: The Macross Saga(for GBA)
That one Fire Emblem game for GameCube
Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap(GBA)
StarFox Command(Nintendo DS){When it comes out}

Plus the weapons in Quake IV aren't really any good.
