You're waiting on that - I'm waiting on the new Final Fantasy, the new Call of Duty, the new God of War...

Priorities. I have them

New FF MMO? The style of the old one (11? I'm never sure.) was really slick but it took forever to do anything and get anywhere.

I just took up the machining habit in October for the first time. Moved in April and need some widgets to set things up. It's currently more interesting than video games (though I'm becoming a serious minecraft whore.)

As for games, I'm waiting for Skyrim, ME3, SWTOR and... I can't remember what else. What I need is for Steam to pick up the old C&C series :-)

EQ1 DING FTW! Seriously. That makes me salivate every time I hear it.

Thing about EQ now is that there are new starting zones, so Qeynos is a ghost town. Freeport has been totally redone though, it's freaky.

I still wanna kill Sgt. Slate and Holly Windstalker.

[Apoco]

That reminds me - for my Shaman I had taken a screen shot of him at each level up. I wonder if I still have my EQ screenshots saved somewhere...

And who cares about Sgt. Slate and getting to KOS with the Freeport faction. I need to go to Oggok and farm myself a Crude Stein for the +CHA!

EDIT: I just had a thought - are emulated EQ servers still around?

Ah see now that would take me back. I didn't think to make screen shots.

Don't know about emulated servers. Too busy searching for secret ale recipes.

I am POSITIVE that I still have my WoW screen shots...just not sure about EQ...that was a long time ago and many formats have occured since then

I spent most of last night just playing either Beat Hazard or Sanctum.

Beat Hazard is a fun game to hop on and just goof around with.

Sanctum is a fun Tower Defense/FPS game.

No new blockbuster games recently to my knowledge. The ones that I'm tracking & which system I want them for (The majority of these are available on 360, PS3, and PC)

PC:
Battlefield 3
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Diablo 3

PS3:
Driver: San Francisco
Twisted Metal
Uncharted 3 (**** - I still need to play 1 & 2!)

360:
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Final Fantasy XIII-2

All of these games will likely be worth it.

Uncharted 3 will be great, as will AC:Revelations.

Batman:Arkham City should be very good too.

[Bill86]

Yeah most of those are later this year right?

I really hope Diablo 3 isn't pay to play.

Yeah - pretty much all of those should be out late Q4 of this year or early Q1 of next.

Also - did anyone watch the SHOUTcraft Invivational 2 this weekend? I can't BELIEVE the outcome (I won't say it in case any of you are going to watch the videos on YouTube and don't want it spoiled).

Essentially - if you want to play Driver: San Francisco on PC you have to have a constant internet connection. This is for your computer to have constant communication with their 3rd party DRM server. (Been done before and REALLY annoying. If your internet connection blips off for a second you're out of the game and have to restart. Here's to hoping their autosave feature is good)

In addition - Ubisoft is really going to start laying into the Uplay system...it will cost about $10 to get access to multiplayer on consoles. This is to make sure that they will get a cut of all used game sales. Oh wait - I mean to help them cover server costs. Yeah - that was the official statement I mean.

I really don't like some of the things that have been happening in the gaming industry lately. My fear is that crap like this becomes standard.

[madwilliamflint]

Aside from:

Minecraft 1.8
SWTOR
ME3 (I'm replaying the Mass Effects all the way through again. Can't get enough.)

There's really nothing I'm interested in coming down. yeah I'll get Skyrim because... eh. it's elder scrolls. But I predict being bored being unable to finish the main quest with an assassin without getting my arse kicked every 3 seconds just like in all the rest of the ES series.

Preorders for Star Wars: The Old Republic just opened this morning.

Also I just saw that there's a Fallout MMO coming.

I'm gonna be single forever. :-/

I'm definitely pre-ordering it with the hopes that "early access" means beta at some point. I'm very sad I haven't gotten into beta yet.

Also I just saw that there's a Fallout MMO coming.

wut. This...is awesome.

I'm gonna be single forever. :-/

#nerd

I'm not single...but hopefully my gf can weather the MMO storm that's a'comin' rofl.

As long as they have an actual class system instead of the "instagimp" abstract skill system Fallen Earth uses, it'll be possible. There's a lot of room for some great content there.

Too bad V.A.T.S. can't make the translation though

That's true. I guess their hope is to take the setting & control scheme moreso than the actual game. Removing VATS and changing the leveling system are HUGE changes
