  • 2002: The Game Year

    Just wondering, do you consider 2002 to be one of the best game years?

    Just look at the games released this year (or close to it):
    Zoo Tycoon
    Empire Earth
    Neverwinter Nights
    Homm4
    Warcraft III
    etc.

    Compared to the last 2 years, 2002 is just amazing

    -
    So... do you think that 2002 is a reverse year in the history of computer gaming. Will it once again begin to release some good games again?

    No, not a particularly good year. None of those games you mentioned interest me in the slightest. Just another year.

      At the end we might get Hearts of Iron and Lionheart. IceWind Dale II isn't that bad supposedly. SimGolf was pretty fun for a while.

      It wasn't that bad.

        Where is Morrowind on your list, DC?

          The obvious, and pedantic answer is "nowhere". So I shall give it.

            Okay, how about "Why isn't it on the list?"

              Re: 2002: The Game Year

              Zoo Tycoon - Wasn't that released last year?
              Empire Earth - Never tried...
              Neverwinter Nights - Never will try
              Homm4 - Got no clue whatsoever this is...
              Warcraft III - It's good, but it lags on replayability
              etc.

              How about mentioning the games that's about to be released (go to www.gonegold.com to find a good list, of yet-to-come games)...Just to mention a few:

              RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 - The first one was great, so it'll be nice to get some more featues

              SimCity 4 - Damn it looks good, if it'll be released this year, then it'll be the game of the year (If my computer is fast enough to run it...)


              But apart from those two games, there's nothing special about the games released/to-be-released this year...

                Morrowind- not on my list because I hate most 3D games- Empire Earth/.Newerwinter Nights being the only good 3D games that I know of. But it probably should be on the list because it is considered a 'good' game

                RCT2 looks horrid. All they seem to be adding are 'real parks' which is a disgusting rip off.

                As for simCity4- it looks promising- but I doubt it will be released this year.

                  But if you don't think 2002 was that great a year- what was the best year for games? 1994- Civ II
                  or some other year?

                    Well...graphics haven't been what dragged people into RCT... But at least (from what I've read) they have changed the most annoying things from the original game, and added some stuff...though it looks more like an addon, but it's still among the most funny/replayable games to be (or has been) released this year...

                    At the moment it is set to be released late this year, and they told they were ahead the schedule... though I wouldn't be supprised if it wont be released this year (But you're allowed to hope, right?)

                      I haven't looked that much on which games was released which year, before now, so I can't tell...

                        I remember one year, I think both Starcraft and Myth 2 came out…

                          I don't know. This has been a good year. I keep thinking that either 95 or 96 produced a number of fantastic games, though....

                          yet to come this year is moo3. darned if I know if it will come out this year, or it will be that good.

                          but this year has been good for rpgs. Dungeon siege got a lot of hype, but it has died out pretty quick.
                          Morrowind and neverwinter nights have both come out to more than make up for it. maybe even as the best rpg's ever done.

                          from all that I've heard, homm4 and zoo tycoon are lukewarm.

                            '94 => civ2
                            '99 => SoF1


                            btw maybe you guys don't enjoy games that much except civ


                            AoW1 and2, Stronghold, gp2, caesar2, stonekeep!, age of empires 1 and 2 .......... Baldur's gate1 and 2, Thief: The dark project, gta1 and 2, homm3..., warcraft, monkey island, ...the list is endless


                            there's nothing like a good or bad year.. kickass games have been released for years, for an addicted pc-gamer like me anyway

                            of course there's a lot of trash too like q3, CS and so on
                            most crap is released on console though, hell, everything on console is crap!

                              Zoo Tycoon? But that game, um uh, sucks.

                              And to answer your question, no.
                              Yeah, Moe, that team sure did suck last night. They just plain sucked! I've seen teams suck before, but they were the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked.
