Crysis 2 is coming out, cannot decide yet.

Crysis was good, yeah... but my god does it age badly
Besides the graphics, the only real remarkable thing about it is the real-time modding of weapons & nano-suit... which are


EDIT: Oh yeah and the fact it didn't take place in the middle east... ++++

Can't say I have played a good game after BF2. Fun yes, but nothing I could potentially play as much as I have played BF2

This is how I feel. I feel confident that singleplayer wise there will always be an amazing game that comes out of nowhere despite the (in my opinion) general decline, exemplified by Portal. Overall all though I dunno if anything will ever match the experience I had with BF2 though. TF2 was really good, CoH even comes damn close, but I am afraid the heyday of BF2 might have been my peak.

At some point you have played more titles than you will play in the future KEN. You're an old fart, you should know that.

KEN thinks MW2 > MW1 > CoD2

Actually i thought MW2 and 1 were shit.  Doesn't mean I didn't have fun playing them.  I don't expect every game to break the mold or be the best game ever.  I also don't think its smart to think that we've already passed the 'golden age' of gaming.  Graphics are getting better, processing power is improving...it would be stupid to think that COD2 (or any previous game) would be the best game ever made.

Have you played SC2?  It's amazing.  Better than the first one.

im stoked about the campaign and the custom maps people will be making
also matchmaking and the ladder, but i dont know if it just seems right, it was more of a warcraft 3 thing

Man this shit has nothing to do with game play.

*Looks at Crysis and Bad Company 2 among others* Depending on what game it does.

Bad games. Crysis I played the demo with zero inclination to play the whole game and BC2 is a small, unbalanced experience.

Unless I want a graphics card benchmark I really do not care about how pretty it is. I would scrim CS any day over BC2.

omfg, let the first balance patch come out before deeming the game unbalanced x_x

I listed the positives of crysis imo in an earlier post

I'm surprised people are relating time played to quality. I mean, yes I mentioned earlier that I've beaten certain games many times over because they were just that much fun, but there are also games that really had an impact on me and I've hardly spent any time on them. The most time I've spent on a single videogame was probably on BF2, but I would never consider that the best game of my life either.

I think some my my favorite games have been completely linear and non-multiplayer...

e.g.
- Mass Effect 1 & 2
- Half-Life 1+ & 2+
- Fallout 3
To pick some of the resent ones,, (they are closer in my memory, so can't compare them to oldies)

Shadow of the Colossus
Rez
Metal Gear Solid (linear on a large scale, not as linear on a micro scale)

I am not saying there is a "golden age" of gaming. But it certainly seems like there has been a decline. BF2 came out 5 years ago, and nothing has topped it. The best foreseeable chance for something to top it would be EA making BF3, but then EA is a clusterfuck of a company. Combined that with the fact that friends to play multiplayer games with are getting fewer and fewer as I get older - it's not a ridiculous claim.

It does to an extent though.  I thought NBA on NBC was a great game, does that mean I would bust out my dreamcast to play it?  No, because the graphics are atrocious compared to now  You are the one putting expectations on games before they come out as opposed to treating each new game as a new experience.  Not my fault if you can't let go of certain games.

And CS has horrible mechanics in my opinion.  Super clunky and seriously dated.

As to your claim that you are losing gaming friends, that's probably just you.  All my friends game, and I'm 29.  Definitely not the norm.  I've been playing video games for over 20 years and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.  Maybe you need more friends FM

that's like being sad that your life is eventually going to end - it's all downhill after 37 years...or being sad after the climax of a good movie...the crescendo of a good classical piece.  Everything comes to an end my friend.
