  • The games of 2005

    What games are you most excited about that is set to be released this year?

    If you don't know which games are set to be released then there's is a nice list here


    My number 1 is defently Dreamfall - The Longest Journey... TLJ was the only adventure game I finished twice, and this game seems to be more interesting to reply because there's 3 different endings
    Not sure when this game is set to be released, but IIRC we wont see it before summer... though according to the above link it's set to be released today... but I don't really trust any of the release dates on gamespy or any of those game-sites

    GTA - San Andreas is also a game I'm really excited about... if it's just as good as GTA 3 then it's great, though it seems to be much much more

    I'm also looking forward to Fallout 3 even though there's not much info about it yet... I just hope it's at least as good as Fallout 2

    Battlefield 2 looks great and I'm getting a bit excited it... I've only seen a few screenshots, but they look nice and I did like the gameplay in the first Battlefield game... though I believe my computer needs to get upgraded to be able to run it...

    S.T.A.L.K.E.R. sounds interesting too... finally an FPS game with lots of possibilities (a bit RPG'ish) and from the little I've read about it, it sounds like the AI is a little more advanced than in most FPS games

    According to the mentioned link Duke Nukem Forever is set to be released early december... I'm looking forward to this game, though for some reason I just don't believe we'll see it this year either


    I also noticed a few games on the list I've never heard about, but I'm already excited about them because I liked the other games in those series:
    Carmageddon 4 - Always great for MP
    Serious Sam 2 - Not much gameplay, but I defently like the humor
    Speedball Arena - Who didn't like Speedball 2?



    So? What's your games?

    Many for me, this time around.

    Civ4 - no comment needed, it's Civ, and so tops any game wishlist.
    AoE3 - I'm a fan of the AoE series, and so this one deserves some attention. Looks like a good RTS game in AoE tradition.
    Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion - From the looks of it, it's really going to be better than Morrowind, so I really want this game as well! Probably going to be good for 200 hours as well.
    SWAT4 - not going to get it at once, but an interesting game nonetheless, SWAT3 was a good tactical shooter for SP, I expect SWAT4 to be the same.
    Stargate:Alliance - the official game based on Stargate SG-1, so get it as fan of the show.
    Doom3: Resurrection of Evil - Loved Doom3, would love to get more of the same, though the expansion might even be a bit more than the same.
    STALKER - I am curious to see how it turns out, although I'm not sure if I will play it. But I'll definitely be interested in looking at the reviews.

      Of course if Civ4 will be released in 2005 it should be on my list also, but I haven't heard any release date for now...

        well so far its Elite3 - FFE
        But on a more serious note i'm caustiously optomistic about the news of people being hired to work on Elite4.

        Elder scrolls 4, although it will most likely be many years before i have a system that will run it.

        Jade Empire on the xbox is most likely the last game i'll buy for that system?

        hmmm thats about it i guess.......

          - dreamfall - the longest journey - i'll keep an eye on this game despite the fact that i haven't played the original

          the movies - it could be an interesting tycoon game...

          - dungeon siege II - well, i liked the first one, a very underestimated game in my opinion

          -desperados 2 - cooper's revenge - mostly because i liked the first one

          - fallout 3 - i don't need to explain, do i?

          two comical highlights:

          A Hello Kitty game! And it is a MMORPG!
          Come on, a game called Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse cannot be bad, can it?

            Day of Defeat: Source
            Battlefield 2
            Civ4
            - ONLY IF IT IS BETTER THAN CIV3 WAS


            those are the only games I know about that interest me so far... not many of the games I've seen mentioned here are blowing my skirt up.
            To us, it is the BEAST.

              Dungeon Siege was beautiful, nice sounds, etc., but still lacking IMO. It was completely linear, which is wrong for a RPG game. Also, the story was not more complex than in most shooters. RPGs are typically known for freedom and stories, though. DS was still a good game... but I could somehow never finish it.

                Maybe I liked DS because I approached it without any expectations previously built up. I had read about it in some websites and everybody looked to be so disappointed, so I was not expecting a story-driven and deep RPG...

                  I wasn't disappointed either, in fact I had very little prior RPG experience. But I still got bored with it. It was a bit too much of mve into area, collect items, move into next area, collect items, repeat. Also, my party was generally very powerful, maybe that was the way I approached it... I just found something lacking to finish the game.

                    If you haven't played the first game, then what are you waiting for? I believe it's a good idea to have played the first game before playing Dreamfall, just to get to know the universe... I do believe they'll try to make the game so you can still get into the game, even though Dreamfall is the first game you've played, but there does seem to be lot of stuff in Deamfall that refers back to TLJ1

                    Forgot all about this one... yep, defently a game I look forward to, though I must admit there are some parts of the game I don't like (like having to make sure the stars don't get a drinking problem) and it seems like they've spent too much time on making sure you can see the movie on the computer later...

                    Forgot this one too... I loved the first game (replayed it one more time about 6 months ago), so I'm defently looking forward to this game

                          There's a couple of movies out.
                          Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                              The thing is I don't want to see those movies because then I get even more excited about the game, and knowing that my current computer wont be able to run the game only makes it worse, so I prefer not see any movies about it
