I never understood why people buy so many games. Maybe its because I am cheap but there are so many games that become boring after like 6 hours or less. I prefer games that last a long time like counter strike and brood war because those are the games with depth and offer the most satisfaction - money aside.
I buy games like i buy movies: pay for the good ones and torrent all the shitty (made for a quick buck) ones
Question, after pirating movies/games, if you do end up enjoying it, do you buy it after?

So why did everyone forget Civilization 5 and Elemental (forgot the subtitle, but it's made by Stardock)?

mmm that NFS Hot Pursuit looks mighty fine. I've been in a mood for a good racing game. Might check it out. Otherwise only SC2 for me. I wasn't able to run Crysis, so I probably won't be able to run crysis 2. Other games posted don't interest me.
@Fear 3. I regret buying Fear 2. It was such a huge let down after Fear 1.

SC2 is a must-have.
So is D3.
Then I may buy FFXIV since it's MMORPG.

If Fear 3 is anything less then amazing I'm gonna be highly disappointed

The minimum requirements are about the same for Crysis as for Starcraft2 and equal to Fear 2, you know. I can understand if you just didn't want to play it, though. I thought Crysis was decent and Warhead was pretty fun. I would have felt ripped off if I didn't get them both for $35. Definitely not worth >$20 each.

Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit was an excellent game.
Need for Speed 4: High Stakes was an even better game.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 was a terrible, terrible game.
I don't know if they made any newer Hot Pursuit type games after that, I kind of lost track because it's EA.
This new Hot Pursuit will have to go a very long way to get back on the right track. The fun of the game was completely fucking over cop cars when you plowed into them at 150mph and making them despawn, or making the cop cars roadblock each other instead of you, or shoving them off the road into a rock or tree. After NFS4 they made the cop cars ultra heavy so you could barely do anything to them, and their AI was improved so much that you couldn't play chicken with them when you met them head-on, so it became a lot less fun. EA has a tradition of "over-improving" new versions of their games to the point where they sacrifice fun factor, so hopefully this new game backtracks a bit on that.
EDIT: I just remembered what made me HATE the more recent NFS games. Fucking rubberbanding. Ever since they added that, where any car no matter how shitty could beat your souped-up car simply because the AI is programmed that way, it became extremely irritating. They need to take that shit out of the new Hot Pursuit.

Just make new PORSHE UNLEASHED. best driving game ever. still having nightmares about those back 180°

I hate what Bethesda did to the Fallout series. Horrible crappy engine, gameplay is about as unimmersive as can be, writing is halfassed and still in low quantity.
Bah, I'm just gonna reinstall FO2 instead.

Yeah I enjoyed Morrowind and a little of FO2 (haven't played much of it :\), but Oblivion and Fallout 3 are just really dull to me. There just aren't many elements to them that surpass mediocre, imo. I thought I read that one of the masterminds behind TES and Bethesda left when Morrowind released.

Really looking forward to mafia 2. Mafia 1 was one of the best game imo.
|
Civ5 by far after sc2. FFXIV might be decent, depends if you like the franchise and mmorpg's.
Rest of the games will be forgotten shortly after their initial launch, but will be a short fun moment, probably not worth buying.

NFS has been shit for a while now but this title could be much better since it's been developed by Criterion (who are the developers of the successful Burnout series) instead of EA.so it has potential to be great.

I spent hours playing the old NFS just trying to run from the cops lol. Hope they do the same formula in the new one cuz the past few ones have been decent at best.
|
Watching the trailer for FFIV, I was super excited until I realized it was an MMO.
EDIT: I was really looking forward to HL2 Ep. 3, but that's turning into a Duke Nukem Forever timeline of completion.

Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, Civ 5, Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3.
Then I can die happy.

modern pc games except a handful are terrible these days
yeah I went there
I wish Western companies would make good PC games like the golden years instead of rehash shootan game #938402 and a so called "game" which acts more of a measuring tape for a super gaming computer
I agree, there isn't much innovation in PC games these days, but unfortunately innovation isn't really what sells it seems. Crysis a good game....what has become of PC gaming?? Are there so few good games that people consider Crysis to be a good game? Apparently the answer is yes.
