If You Could Only Play 3 Games This Year

April 1, 2009 7:03:45 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

If you could only play 3 games this year, what would they be?

  1. Demigod - Just because it's awesome, and the MP rocks.  It really needs no other explanation.
  2. Ghostbusters - This is one of my all-time favorite movies, so the chance to play as a Ghostbuster cannot be passed up.
  3. Battlefield 1943 - I'm a big Battleifled fan, and BF 1942 is one of my favorites, so this arcade style game looks appealing.

Alright, now it's your turn.

1.  Demigod - Have had nothing but great times with the beta, balance issues aside.

2.  Duke Nukem Forever - C'mon man, git 'r done!

3.  Diablo 3 - been playing Blizzard games since Warcraft 2 - go ahead and flame me, but their games are fun!

1. Modern Warfare: 2 - CoD4 is the best multiplayer FPS I've ever played. The multiplayer more than makes up for the short single player mode. I'm hoping MW:2 will be even better.

 

2. Starcraft 2 - Starcraft is the best RTS ever made in my mind. Did you know it has a single player mode in addition to multiplayer? Starcraft 2 is looking like its keeping the feel of the original while improving upon the formula that made the game so fun to play in the first place. Blizzard is also making the game largely data driven, which should mean it'll be easily modded.

 

3. Elemental: War of Magic Beta or Dragon Age: Origins - I needs my fantasy fix! I'd even trade one of Annatar's kidneys for beta access to Elemental! Its way past due for a good Might and Magic style game.

 

I really enjoy the way Bioware weaves storylines into their games and it looks like Dragon Age: Origins will be no different. The mask reveal in KOTOR was epic. Hopefully DA:O will hold me over until Mass Effect 2.

 

Anywho those are my picks. I'd also like to repeat:

One of Annatar's kidneys in exchange for a beta key.

 

It's not like he needs all three of em.

For me...

 

probably Dragon Age:Origins, Divinity 2:Ego Draconis, and I'm not sure about the third. Maybe D3 or Alan Wake.

Sins, Dragon Age: Origins, Jumpgate Evolution (do MMOs count?).

I'm actually really looking forward to Jumpgate, it might finally be a good space-themed MMO that's a bit lighter than EVE (great in its own right, but not quite the type of game you jump into and just shoot crap for a little bit).

There would be more competition to the list if it wasn't restricted to this year only. Diablo 3, Elemental, Mass Effect 2 being the next 3 contenders.

It's a fun game for parties.  Two of the Stardock devs, the SD infrastructure guy, and the games publisher play fluxx every day at lunch.  Good times.

BF 1943 sounds horrible to me

Low player limit, a few maps (most from 1942) and no unlocks. Its meant for consoles as DLC and I don't see why its coming to PC... or being made at all

I'll have to look into Jumpgate that Anny mentioned. Ever since I quit WoW I've been itching for another MMO (and I've tried EvE, I hate it   )

 

For me it would probably Sins, Garry's mod, and TF2 (or Demigod... I'd flip a coin if I had to decide )

I assume you mean FROM this year, in that case...

1.) Starcraft 2 (I hope it's this year.)

2.) Demigod

3.) Not sure, I have heard some good things about Dragon Age: Origins, but if it's published by EA then I'm not going to buy it (unless they use something more sensible like GOO for their DRM). Maybe I'll go with CoD:MW2.

1.  GalCiv2.  If it has to be a specific title, Dark Avatar.

2.  Chess.  The old board game against real people, that is.

3.  Almost anything on the WII with my grand nieces and grand nephews.

1- X-Com:UFO Defense; in a dosbox, tactical gameplay so tight & immersive i'd still kick weirdly imaginative Aliens off the Earth again and again.

2- cEvo; open-source version that bares some ressemblance to Civ2 or Civ3, but goes waaaaaayyyy beyond strategy in terms of non-simulation & deterministic *perfection* since all AIs for it are provided by external modular Client/Server code & some real programmers individually. THAT way nobody can claim having a better or worst Algorithm than even commercial games for many reasons such as unlimited potential. Let's see if you are really smart by compiling a dll worth playing against; right now, Seti030 can beat the crap out of a few more... including the occasional challenge of Civ-S or Crystal.

3- Dark Avatar; 'nuf said.

I've almost exclusively played Sins on the PC for the last year.

Just the Gal Civ 2 Ultimate for those quiet nights when Sins is not happening (Australian nights <> US/Europe prime time)

So those two are on the list.

Not sure what #3 would be - was thinking about TW:Empire, but have been put off with how poorly the demo ran on my PC (Q6600, 8GB, 3870X2, Vista Ultimate 64). Plus all the bugs that people are reporting...

  1. Mass Effect 2 - nuffsaid! (that is, if it makes it in '09, which is doubtable)
  2. CoD6: Modern Warfare 2 (if even just to get over the dastardly disappointment of CoD5) - and CoD4 was a real gem
  3. Now it's getting harder, (UFO: Enemy Unknown already has to many hours of my life, wont... give... it... more... ) maybe Battlestations: Pacific, as I found Midway to be kinda decent and a good mix of arcade flying/boating and RTS. Other than that; maybe Company of Heroes, with the upcoming Tales of Valor, Dawn of War II (with upcoming DLC), SoaSE (ofc!)... Call of Juarez 2 maybe. Oh, and the Sims 3, just for the heck of it ^^


Little bit more than 3, but the last point is any one of the given

According to EA logic everyone that is not buying all the games they release are pirates.

3 games this year?

- Demigod

- Sins

- Left 4 Dead

High on the wish list: 

- Dragon Age: Origins (depends on reviews), if it is released without activation DRM

- Starcraft 2 (will buy it probably buy without really looking at the reviews )

- will look into Elementals, sounds interesting

- Diablo 3 (will buy it probably buy without really looking at the reviews )

- DNF whenever it gets ready

- Mass Effect 2, if it is released without activation DRM

Games i didn't buy for its DRM, to high price:

- Mirror's Edge
