Games that are going to suck...

[Racecarlock]

Guys could you take your "Did fallout 3 suck or not?" discussion somewhere else? This is not the thread.

Anyways, if there are any games whatsoever that are announced or coming out in the future until the end of time that are based on accountancy and/or being a regular joe, I'd cast my vote for those games.

Modern Warfare 3.

glad you think the same, MoDern warfare 3 is just modern warfare 2 without the curse of the unding CoD tag.

Crysis 2, cod clone, with nano suits.

Have you played Crysis?

Have you ?

Played played the 360 demo, I wanted my time back. Would feel terrible if I paid to have my time stolen too.

Yes, you know, the whole first two games. That are nothing like CoD.

The multiplayer - which has changed from what it was, admittedly - is not the attraction of the series, and doesn't show off singleplayer gameplay.

-Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Squeenix has claimed that they're giving Ubisoft free reign on this title; and I'm hoping this is the case. Then again, there have been HOW many terrible, awful titles backed by Squeenix released in the past year alone?
(Answer: Far far too many. Well beyond FF13 and FF14)

It's being made by Eidos, and to be fair, it has received glowing previews across the board. I mean, you'll rarely read a harsh preview, but if something's obviously not good you can still tell.

Rockpapershotgun had a batch of articles on it recently if you wanted to check it out.

Episode 3...

Skyrim

Fallout3 may have been an improvement over Oblivion in some areas, but the worst animation, dialogue and voice-overs in the triple-A industry and weak plots, have been a constant in Bethesda games. Also bugs.

The succes of Oblivion means they won't have any incentive to stop dumbing down the gameplay. We can prolly expect Beth to moderate the level scaling somewhat and that will be the only good news.

Yeah, I meant Eidos Montreal, not Ubisoft...
This is what I get for staying up well past my normal bedtime while sick...

The previews so far look OK I guess, though it's the level design and dialogue that I'm most interested in (and if the original design philosophy has been retained at all).

EDIT: Good thing I sometimes read through. This one didn't appear on my notification..

I might be misunderstanding this, but "this last" one? You have DNF, Serious Sam 3, Bulletstorm, Rage (possibly, but doubtful in terms of old style shooter), and Painkiller Redemption (hopefully won't suck). So there are a lot more this year than usual...

I didn't think People Can Fly was doing a double-shift with another Painkiller title right on the tail of Bulletstorm.
Bulletstorm, while it looks neat is definitely NOT a throwback title; it's an adaptation of current shooters to a different tone (one that is crude, inappropriate and very arcade-esque).
Rage is another id-Software title that's bound to fly under the radar. As amazing as the Doom 3 engine was, I didn't really get to see a whole lot of action from it outside of, well, Doom 3. Quake Wars came about 5 years behind its time. This doesn't leave me with a lot of confidence.
I've heard rumors of a Doom 4 being made in the style of the originals, but nothing more.

Finally: Serious Sam 3? How did they manage to get Croteam back together?

This thread was MADE for Skylanders. That new character design for Spyro (purple zombie Gollum) would easily have doomed the game even WITHOUT the help of that spectacularily idiotic gimmick that requires you to BUY a damn TOY FIGURE for each unlockable character you want to use.

Seriously, I just can't believe it. Immense production values, scriptwriters and character designers straight from Hollywood's top layer, music by HANS ZIMMER - and then they turn it all into a shameless attempt to flog cheap-ass merchandise. That game is destined to make history. And not in a good way.

I googled the game out of sheer idle interest after reading this post...and I wish I really hadn't

Is this [http://www.aussie-nintendo.com/up/news/SpyroSkylandAdventure.jpg] seriously what has become of Spyro the Dragon?! I remember when the original game came out and just how much fun it was...and now we get this?!

Shocking.

ME3 is gonna suck because with such huge expectations it's easy to get disappointed...unless people have decided to love the game no matter what happens...in which case they are ardent fanboys.

Only time will tell I guess.

Modern Warfare 3.

*Gets flame shield*

lower thy flame shield good sir, there's a rumor that it'll star Ghost... what, that Gaz wannabee that had maybe 5 lines and then died? the multiplayer will probably be the same ol schtuff (if you like it, youll like it, if you dont, you wont) but the story will suck bawlz.

how would it star ghost if he's dead :S
unless its called of duty modern zombie combat?

prequel. you know, because we were all chomping at the bit to find out where he came from (even thought they made a comic explaining it. he's a high ranking soldier who likes to wear the skull balcava. that's it.)

 

[blankedboy]

I can safely say Duke Nukem Forever and Skyrim won't be all that good.

I'm gonna quote you on that when Skyrim turns out to be your GOTY.

Skyrim won't be all that good.

I'm shaking my head at you in utter disappointment. Remember the last time someone doubted Bethesda?

BOOM

You guys are forgetting Oblivion.

 

[wrecker77]

I have little to no faith in inFAMOUS 2. The magic is just gone to me. Other than that, I really can't think of anything. Seems like evereything I see lately is made of win

Maybe its the ecstasy

Modern Warfare 3.

*jumps behind it with you*
For me, I think I can safely say Duke Nukem Forever and Skyrim won't be all that good. Portal probably won't be as good as people are assuming, but still pretty good... hm.

*Hides behind you as well.*
Duke Nukem looks really lame. I guess we'll get a feel for how well it's going to sell based of how well Bulletstorm sells.
As far as Skyrim is concerned, I reckon it'll be bad compared to Morrowind or Oblivion. Standing on it's own I expect it to be damn good.

 

[blankedboy]

Good game, got boring a little too quickly, what about Oblivion?

It didn't even nearly live up to the hype, or the standard set by Morrowind. And who seriously expects a franchise running since 1994 to still be good? That's never happened before :/
