The anti-negativity thread

[geldonyetich]

I can't do it: my negativity in regards to the gaming world runneth over.

Mass Effect 2, both Halo games, Blood Bowl, Arkham Asylum, Lord of the Rings Conquest, Dawn of War II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are the games I'm looking forward to the most in 2009. As for last year, Fable 2 was quite good, and Mirror's Edge was fun once you found the good bits (speed runs are my favourite). Oh yes, and on a particularly positive note I've actually started to enjoy playing Oblivion.

Destroy All Humans: Path of THe Furon, despite the flaming it gets from certain gaming sites (-Glares at IGN-), plays on a much larger scale then the first two...Plus, calling in an F5 tornado, watching other aliens land and start tearing up the helpless humans in the city that you are in, while you're flying over in stealth mode never loses its charm.

Forgot about that... I really need to pick up a copy of it at some point.

Good thread, I just played through still life, as writhe with game-play, legibility, and writing problems as the game was, the cinematics were top notch and the art was incredibly beautiful.

If your happy and you know wait for the next WoW expansion, check

The game that every single review I read said was crap but I found good was Haze, admittedly the online does majorly suck and its rather short but apart from that it was a game I throughly enjoyed. For 2009 I'm looking forward to Empire: Total War and Dawn of war II both of which should be good.

Seeing someone's face explode in slowmotion in Fallout 3 never gets old

I'm looking forward to getting myself a new PC so I can get back to fragging fools on BF2.

I lost half my social life this year to fallout 3 which I guess says something positive about it... or does it?

can't wait for resi 5 and

MASS EFFECT 2!!!!!!! gonna rule... I hope you get to punch news reporters again....

I loved the part where you get to smack that girl... hilarious.

Even though STALKER was a terrible, terrible video game adaptation of Roadside Picnic, it was still a totally awesome game. (Both games.)

Even though the film adaptation of Roadside Picnic slated for completion in 2010 has John Travolta in it and will probably include way too many action scenes and explosions, I still can't wait to see it, and will probably go see the first showing in my area. It's actually the only movie I'm really looking forward to right now... wait, no... "9" looks pretty appealing...

EDIT: And yeah, so far, this thread seems more about pointing out good points of things despite their flaws, which balances out to 'neutral,' instead of 'positive.'

I really enjoyed Fallout 3. Exploring every inch and finding every location sucks away so much time, but the world is so atmospheric and immersive, I can't stop.

Also, I'll say it: I like Sonic Unleashed on the 360. The camera was a can of farts, and the coin-collecting was a stupid idea, but I have to say that the gameplay is some of the best platforming I've played outside in a long time, and it has one of my favorite soundtracks of any game.

Despite the fact that people rage quit 5 minutes after a versus match of L4D makes the game very annoying, and levels are somewhat repetitive the overall game play is still amazing in nearly every sense.

Its refreshing how a game can be so good when its so simple in principle...grab some mates and shoot stuff

I love Bacon Sandwiches.

Me too!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R was awesome ...when it was stable.
Lords of The Realms III was very nice, a tad unique and interesting. When it was stable.
Z: Steel Soldiers was also very, very deliciously good and humorous when it was stable.
Maelstrom was good when it wasn't on.

Is that positive...?

 

[Random Argument Man]

I got a big one. People will call this BLASPHEMY or LIES... World of Warcraft is a good game

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Ok, The new Prince of Persia. No matter how dumbed down, no matter how bad the combat, no matter how painful the dialog...it so fucking pretty! The princes platforming moves are epic, from crawling along ceilings like a monkey, to the classic wall run, he so fluid and smooth and dam fucking awesome! And the view! Whenever I had to sit though another cut-scene where they spouted some bad jokes and told us some plainly obvious plot points I'd stop, take a deep breath, and just pan that scene baby.

Also, Spore's Creature Creator was so, so awesome! I'll never touch the main game again, but I still have the CC on my computer. Whenever your listening to your favorite podcast it's just so relaxing to sit back fuck with nature.

I'm quite anxious for Zeno Clash to come out. I'm really looking forward to this game.

I love Bacon Sandwiches.

Positive enough for you?

Gaaahh! It's too positive! Quick, kill somebody!
On topic: I am excited for Prototype, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and Bioshock: sea of dreams.(If '09 is when Bioshock: SOD is coming out.)

That bird-man thing that is speaking about its children is freaky!
