	Games Wish Lists Put an end to popups!

I know Christmas has came and gone among other holidays where you get loot.. .er presents.

I have a small wish list of games, they all are on the PC platform. Not neccessarily in the order of preference or anything like that.

Pirates!
Tribes: Vengeance
Rome: Total War
Vampires Bloodlines
Baldur Gate 2 (complete collection)

The following are I'm kind of interested but not yet sure if I want to buy those:

Beyond Divinity (the version that also includes the first game)
Diablo 2
UT 2004

If I had PS2 I'd look at DDR and Dynasty Warriors series. Other than that I do not know too much about console games.


IRL I do not have that much spare time to play games so I am very reserved and choosy about what I buy. So I'm curious what you guys are interested in - so far you guys seem to have good taste in games

I will not be much help on what to buy. My recommendations would be Half-Life 2 and Rome:Total War - I don't like RTW, but it's great for those who enjoy wargames.

I have a very big wishlist for this year, though.

Civ4 - must-get, the day it's available. Civ game, and therefore overrules any other game.
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion - another game in an excellent series, and looks to be possibly even better than Morrowind
Age of Empires 3: Age of Discovery - they make great RTS games, and I'm curious to see if Ensemble can also make a decent one this time around. Most probably will be very good for multiplayer fun, as always.
Stargate SG-1: The Alliance - I'm not sure about those TV-to-game things, but this one seems fun.
Doom3:Resurrection of Evil - I want the expansion even if it's just more of the same - but it looks to even have some new stuff in.
SWAT4 - in its time, SWAT3 was probably the leading tactical shooter. With a modern engine, this one can be an interesting continuation of the series.

Plenty of releases for me to look forward this time around .

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

some of these might be older games. some aren't out yet

Pirates
Knight of the Old Republic II (not out yet- for PC)
Civ4
Elder Scrolls 4
I hard good things about jagged alliance- 2 I believe. I'd like to try it out.
beyond divinity I might want to try.
Europa whatever that name is. Never tried it. I just think it's too risky to pay for. There's a good chance I won't like it. But this is a wish list after all. If I got these game for free I'd try the out and see if I like them.
Master of Orion- never played them.
dominions -2 I believe.

I forgot some. btw my wish lists are games I wish to have for free- including subscirption costs. I doubt I'd play these games if I had to pay for them- hence why I do not already own them.

World of Warcraft
city of heros
battlefield: vietnam

TES IV is definitely on my list, I didn't include it since it's not out yet. Same for CIV. I prefer to wait for reviews before making my decision.

I want to get Pirates...it's just that with limited funds (and time) it's on the backburner.

Right now I'm entered in a contest to win it. If I don't, it might be the summer before I pick it up. It looks fun...just not something I want right now.

These two are both awesome, though Europa Universalis can be a bit of an aquired taste (I didn't like it much right after I bought it, but when I picked it up again a few months later I really got into it).

Cheapskate. Sure to play for 3 months will cost you $30 more than with a normal game, but if it is your main game you will get 150 hours of play easily. You've posted $1/hour as your target, and WoW or CoH will hit that with ease.

As for games:

WoW (European release)

Civ4 later on.

No current or older games, though I have a few I still need to play but already own.

Yeah, RTW is good, but it's just not my style of a game. I still understand it's great for its genre though. Civ 4 might be out for next Christmas... maybe. No real idea here - nothing has been announced.

SWAT4 was scheduled for this spring. AoE3 is only going to get announced, but it's scheduled for October/November.

And yeah, AoE2 is still a great game .

Having this older machine, I only play older games. I already have more stuff I want o play than I'm going to instll in the next few months, but I'm down to just a couple on my "go into the store and see if it's there and cheap" list

Freelancer
Heroes4:Winds Of War

I just can't bring myself to be interested in anything else.

I'll certainly be watching for Civ4, though. probably won't buy until it gets down to 20$ even if it is so great.

I wouldn't mind it if it's a next year release as long as the game gets the polish it needs. I'd rather play a polished Civ4 a year from now than a buggy Civ4 10 months from now.

Everytime I read a statement like this I wonder what the company thinks

would it be:

A-Release a great playable game

B-Release a Great Playable Game then patch it

C-Ask Marketing what they think.. never mind we know what they want

I do agree Solver..lets get a good playable version..

question will still be..by whom's standards

hm, now that i'm thinking, i might buy Pirates! in the next days... i don't even have any more space on my HD for new games, and Half-Life (the original from 1998) is the one i'm playing now - beside Civ3 and SMAC.

Frankly, based on Firaxis' previous release schedule, 2006 would be pretty much definite. The only way I can really see 2005 would be because of whoever the new publisher is.

	03-01-2005 01:54									#28
	Got spare money?

Well, I prefer old games:

If you don't have them already, I'd suggest:

*Europa Universalis 2 (a great TBS/RTS/Risk hybrid!)
*KOHAN: Immortal Soverigns (Possibly the best RTS ever- no downtime, and its story based!)
*BG2 is a great game, I must agree- but I also suggest BG the original and Icewind Dale II (two other amazing games)
*And if you're still waiting for THE MOVIES, how about you pick up HOLLYWOOD MOGUL, a text-based, but addictive game about the same situation. You can order it on the internet. It runs like Baseball Mogul and other text-simulated things and you can hire and fire actors, directors, etc. and write screenplays and fund all sorts of different things from SfX to advertising!

I'm praying that Firaxis themselves bought the rights so no dickhead publishers can dictate terms, like Atari.
