where's the good pc games?

bigafroyo think of what you say before posting it on the forum. RTS/RPG are great and you do not have to go to that extent to express your personal opinion.
 
im dieing for black mesa to come out

my mate works on the development team, but theyr still in the alpha testing stage atm :(
thats going to be an interestingly fun game :)
BACK TO HL1 :D
 
When did GRAW launch? I thought it was '06. And didn't R6 Vegas launch at the end of 06? I think they are great games.
 
i thought FEAR was an '06 game...?
well fear extraction point was even better IMO
and i agree, Riddick was/is an amazing game i got it off amazon a month ago for a fiver:)
 
riddick is a blast, and i love breaking necks ;)
 
Vegas is a great game, bf2142 was enjoyable but short lived (it's just not bf2), FEAR rocks.
Hows that for FPS in 2006 not bad i reckon. Elsewhere DOW 40k=awesome, and Star Wars empire at war (2006????).
I'm looking forward to Crysis (duh) and C+C3 looks great (but then its C+C), MOH Airborne and Ghost Recon 2.
Think i'm gonna have to start saving for March.
 
i want somebody to make a new version of total annilation, best RTS ever, i would even take a simple opengl update to it :P
 
The one I am waiting on is a total conversion for Doom 3. HEXEN!!!! It's been in development since 04 and I can't WAIT for it.

supreme commander (it's the 'spiritual successor' apparently)
 
I've been waiting for another "GOOD" game for about 5 years....

Everything is the same with different graphics, all same engine... And 1st person shooters bore me to death... I love a *GOOD* *HARD* strategy game, and I like REAL role playing games, the ones that make you think, not that are step by step obvious...

I mean I'm still stuck on starcraft, ultima online, warcraft 3, and on occasion ages of empire.. I play first person shooters from time to time but..... Tried Wow way tooo easy, EQ was way toooo easy...

Beh. Maybe I should just go to school for programming and make my own.

CIV4? C&C3?
 
niko, try silkroadonline, its skill setup is closest i have see to UO, tho no crafting skills last time i checked(they planned to add them sometime later on) but the combat skills are kool, and you arent stuck in 1 class, you build you charictor as you like, using the skills you want not forced to be a "pure mage" or "pure knight" type crap :)

WoW is for kids.

starcraft needs updated to allow 1600x1200 res's and such, 640x480 is just to low res for me anymore.
 
and niko, Fable is fun, not as detaild as it could be but the base system is pretty good, if you havent played it then you should(cant remmber who had posted in that fable thred)

love the system where if your good you become goddly if your evil you become demonic!!!!

Never heard of it.. I still play uo, I have like 6 accounts, and pvp all day... Still hard and rough especially because with the guild I'm in I always get jacked 3-4-5-6 v 1... Sometimes I get 2-3 kills first though :) But I still like uo, because there are just sooo many different types of chars you can make its just endless... And every time they patch they mess something up so there is something new that now works that really probably shouldn't...

*Electronic Arts next patch for UO*
"A Grand Master Miner with Grand Master Blacksmith will hit another player for up to 120 damage with a shovel...."

I'll check that out.

Ya WoW is lame... Starcraft ya the 640x480 looks bad on my 1280x1024 17"...

Ya I tried Fable... Not quite my style.
 
what drove me from cs was cs kiddies, the games full of 12yo little arseholes who just want to talk sh!t and start fights then try and hack.

and when you kill them they then get mad and try and get you banned from the server because the only way you could have killed them is that you must be hacking, because they are "1337" ROFL

gime ut2k4 or tribes(mods) anyday over that crap!!!! never will you find cs kiddies in tribes1/2 they cant deal with how complex the gameplay is!!!!! "omg.......6axis movement.....skiing........this sucks cs is better..." *cs kiddie leaves server* :D


Agreed Ashen! I thought that this flick was pretty funny.....for those of you that havent seen it....its worth a look.....

We need a real sequel. ;)

The last good game I played was actually Knights of the Old Republic (I haven't played Kotor2). The things I'm hoping for are C&C3, Supreme Commander and Assassins Creed.

EDIT: @ahsen: Tribes.. I recently played the Demo for the latest game and it was very interesting. Veeerry nice game indeed.

*Votes C&C 3*
I wonder what gameplay will be like.
If its the original units with lots added on, and some of the functionality and micromanagement from C&C Generals i will be filled with uber happiness.

Apocalypse Tank FTW!
 
long live Fallout!
Perhaps Bethesda can do something with it....
I had high hopes for Feargus and the rest @ Obsidian, but so far have been quite disappointed.

I'm looking forward to Bioshock the most.

One overlooked title of '06 was

Condemned:Criminal Origins


just about the most brutal and suspenseful FPS I've played in ages - published by the same company as FEAR (and quite similar at times visually) - check it out. Like all games, there were some things about it that could have been better, but it's a wicked intense difficult MELEE-FPS....with sledgehammers, pipes, 2x4s, fireaxe, etc.

i am beta testing supcom and i must say its really a nice game. similar to TA i've seen fights with several hundreds of units going at each other... if your pc specs can take it.

sometimes it needs quite some micromanagement but other than that i can only recommend it to everybody
