PC games are getting worse and worse...

Maybe I just have too high expections but I just bought Fifa 2004 and Max Payne 2. The Story is quite cool in Max Payne 2 and also the gameplay but I'm already bored somehow. And Fifa 2004, don't even get me started... where the heck can I change the controls? The manual is a joke. The menus look like a$$... a couple years ago, it was like the games were made with passion and love but today, it's more of a lets-get-the-sequel-out-as-fast-as-possible. Bleh.

BF1942: It's only fun if you are like 20 friends playing that game, otherwise... I think I'm just not impressed anymore by the graphics. Never got into homeworld and that's true. Medal of Honor rocks... is Call of Duty an Add-on or a sequel?

It's because they are all the SAME as previous games. New story, same gameplay makes the games get boring quicker.

Notice how all of those are boring fist person shooters. Get some exciting games d00d.


Call of Duty is anything but boring, same with BF1942.

I agree though, a little variety might do some good. Civilization 3 is a good time waster when I'm just not in the mood to play a FPS.

1942 is great online.

call of duty is by the original mohaa team🙂 its not a mohaa addon/expansion bullsh*t.
 
There are several nice ones, though:
Worms 3D is/will be a great one.
Tony Hawk 4 is quite long, too, if you like it.
I miss really good strategies. Zero hour was too short, AOM Titans is still too fast-paced and lacks real strategies. WC3 FR is too fast and mindless on the net, where mass-rushers rule.
FPS games are getting too common, too short and seem more and more content-free in SP. I play FPS games online rarely, I didn't find any of them addictive.
 
LOL, ndee wirsch en langwiligä erchwachsnigä😛

ok, back to english😉
there weren't many games this year that i went back to after playing them through. i've too much the feeling of "been there done that".

that said i always get back to rainbow 6: raven shield.
if you want a single player game that has 20+ hours gameplay (i'm at over 30 and finally at the last level) grab yourself a copy of thief 2: metal age. gameplay is just fantastic (if you're into stealthgames that's the one to go for).

that said, grab yourself a girl and have some quality play-time😛
 
DUDE!

FIFA 2004!!!

CONTROL SETTINGS!! YOU TOO?

Man.. I just started up the game and futzed around for a while and gave up because I couldnt find out where to change the controls.

The game seemed way too slow compared to the old ones too. I am going to go back to FIFA World Cup and uninstall this one.

Oh well.

yeah, stupid controls... damn... I hate it when I can't customize the control settings... and the menus are sooooooo cheap... bleh.
 
I think once you have played several games from a genre, the "newness" factor has worn off. I loved MOH so much because I hadn't played much FPS in a few years. I was mostly playing strategy games. While there is always a lot of hype surrounding new game releases, the fact is you can only change so much in a game from release to release. When you play a lot of games, they become dull and repetitive.

I am SO looking forward to Worms3D!
 
i agree that FPS are really boring at this point. by the time quake 2 came out i was tired of the genre (of course, i was always a big adventure game fan)
it seems like they are just sticking with a formula that works. graphics mean nothing to me...i want a good game.

And I didn't say MP2 sucks, I'm just saying it gets BORING and if you say BORING = SUCK, then the game SUCKS. But not in my opinion, only in yours.

Idiot, games aren't made by single people. He could probably make a storyline way better though. It's not hard if you can think for yourself, sit at a computer for an hour, and type.

You see, the whole thing from american games/movies this day and age is to find a good Japanese movie (Ring, Avalon, etc.), and some good anime with a lot of action, copy it into English, make some new looking badguys, but copy the stories, and you have a great new product that will make the US gamers rave for weeks!
