OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
Very intresting to know what ppl are wating for.
My list: TBS: Dominions III (most anticipated); HOMM IV; Glactic civilizations II; soulquest ; realms of hope (MOM remake); RTS: Spell force II. RPG: Diablo III (heard a rumor that it's being developed...) I must add that I would have loved to see a MOM-II but I know chances for that are slim http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif |
Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
Disciples III and Dominions III
|
Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
Dom3 and Heroes of Might & Magic 5.
In the meantime, i've got Civ4 and Makai Kingdom to keep me occupied. =) |

Definitely looking forward to what Dominions_3 will bring... lets hope a disable/enable setting will be available for spells, items and magic sites. |
Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
Dom III of course.
Also X3:Reunion (Elite-style game just about out). HoMM5 doesn't look like they're adding too much content - just going back to HoMM3 play and redoing the graphics. They need to learn what the Dominions devs already know - content is king. |
Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
I wonder if they'll change the battle mechanics in Disciples III. I liked the first two installments but the battles are too abstracted for my taste.
And sorry for the typo, of course I'm waiting for HOMM V, not IV. IV is only good for MP (if at all) because it lacks AI, you're basically playing against the maps not vs. AI. I have played Nival's previous games, the etherlords ones, and they were nice. Very good graphics and some intresting ideas. overall I liked them for a while. I liked their decision to put dark elves city in HOMM V. As for MOM-II, I had the briefest of time when I hoped stardock will do it, but it turned out to be yet another disappontment. My greatest expectations are from Dominions III. Now with the hugh market for games today, that fact is meaningful. It either means that good strategy games are on the extinction list or that I've become some sort of a freak with weird taste for content and depth. |

Though I do play other things than the hardcore strategy (I just got a 360) and enjoy them, it seems that a really good strategy game of any sort of package deal are few and far between. Luckily we also got Civ4 recently. |
Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
Oh, and in case it's not obvious for infidels: I'm also waiting for Deadly Rooms Of Death: The City Beneath. (DROD:TCB). The best puzzle game ever.

Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
- Dominions III (like anybody lurking these boards I guess http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif ).
- T.E.S.IV : Oblivion (the sequel of the sequel of etc...) - The Dark Mod. A Thief-like mod for Doom 3 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif . |

Dominions III (Surprise!)

No doubt there are others I'm forgetting, but the above should keep me busy. |
Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
Lessee...
Dom 3 Supreme Commander Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth JADE S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl. Though it'll probably suck. If it's actually released. Operation Flashpoint 2. Though it won't compare to the original. X3 - Reunion. Sorta. Haven't picked up Civ IV yet, either, but that'll shortly be remedied. |

Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
I have played ADOM. What is ADOM delux?
And what is "Call of Cthulhu - Dark Corners of the Earth"? I have noticed that a lot of people are not excited with HOMM V. I wonder why. BTW, those of you who've played AOW-SM, be sure to check the community patch. Imo it improves the game. |

Mind you, what I meant to say was JADE, aka ADOM 2. Unfortunately, I was too cripplingly sleep-deprived to notice. Shall edit my original post now. Quote:
I just wonder when this thing'll be released for PC. |

Check out the HoMM Community, everyone there idolizes the 3rd game as the ultimate game (in the series, and in general). I think its quite obvious to Ubisoft the best way to please its fanbase is with a game that is "True to its origins". Also, you have to remember its their first game in the series, they just recently purchased the rights to HoMM, and therefore would probably want to take minimal risks and make minimal changes on its very first realese, a game which will leave a "first impression" on all future games on the series. |

Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?
My current wait list isn't particularly long.
Dom 3 (the happiest expectation on the list, of course). http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Civ 4 (technically, I'm waiting for a chance to read an in-depth review of the finished product before springing for this. Likely to be my next actual buy if the reviews are good, but I'm not jumping on it. I liked Civ 3 far less than Civ 2.) Sim Golf 2 (not a chance--about 1% on the "which old game to redo" poll at Firaxis.) web page Colonization 2 (second place in the "which old game to redo" poll at Firaxis, at 31%.) Master of Orion 4 (given what happened to MOO3, not likely any time soon--I really hope MOO3 has not sunk the frachise.) Xenocide (current fan development of the classic game, UFO Defense, total vaporware for the forseeable future, IMO.) web page Skaven mod for Civ3 (currently under development on CivFanatic site). web page Actually, I haven't been doing a lot of looking recently, and own far more computer games than I have mastered. I'm still looking for a more satisfying 4x space game than anything I've seen so far (MOO2 without the 7th inning stretch would be an ideal starting point, IMO. I like elements of Space Gold IV, but some of the micromanagement busywork drives me up the wall. Also, I find that universe not immersive enough; MOO2, Star Trek, Babylon 5, and Star Wars are all much more so; but all five, plus Reach for the Stars, beat Galactic Civ by a wide margin on this count.) |

The early online buzz on Civ 4 indicates teething problems not solved by the first patch, possible directx problems, and heavy system overload in the late game, as well as its exceptionally high ratings. I've spent the last week trying unsuccessfully to download the demo, only to have it show up today on the PC Gamer Jan issue demo disk. That saves a deal of time, though I haven't actually fired it up yet. Hadn't been tracking Mark of Chaos (I like Skaven more than Warhammer as such), but checking it out put StarWars: Empire War on my radar screen, so thanks. ((I still play the old Rebellion game, which always seems to find its way back onto my computer. After MOO2, it's probably the most persistant returnee--although Birth of the Federation keeps getting back on each time I forget why I took it off, maybe once every 18-24 months or so). By comparison, Dom2 has never been off my system.)) I looked at the new Shrapnel demos: Weird Worlds, Lands of Legend. Been, done, gone; not my cup 'o tea, but both feel like good lunchtime games for casual play. I have not been able to get excited about Galactic Civ II. The first game had an exceptional AI, but the game universe had all the immersion value of pushing LEGO blocks around on a Chess board. My suspension of disbelief was totally trashed by the arcade-style powerup mechanic. Following MOO3 as it did (MOO3, the last time I bought a computer game before waiting for the reviews), it was a crushing disappointment. If I want an abstract strategy game that rewards metagaming, I will play chess. If I hear that GCII is substantially different from GCI in its approach, I will be more than pleased. For now, I remain skeptical. Endoperez: Thanks for the WildFire reference. I have a friend who I think would be most interested in this. |

If you give up on trying to get either demo to work, I suppose you should wait for the next patch before deciding on whether or not to pick up a copy. It's difficult to imagine Firaxis not fixing this in the near future, but you never know. |
Civ4
Performance issues? Memory leaks? Well that seals it away for me. My compy P4 is running about 3 1/2 years old now... Great for running Dominions, though.

Re: Civ4
Morkilus: I wouldn't be so quick to write off Civ4 for now. Over at CivFanatic, there is a fanpatch that reportedly fixes the late-game memory issues.
And I could just have a bad demo disk. If the PC Gamer tech support runs business hours, then a reply from them can't really be called overdue at this point (I wrote late Friday night/early Saturday morning, so if nobody's there on the weekends, it's really only been one working day). |

I've played Civ4 for quite a while. It has pretty decent single player mode, in my opinion, better than any previous Civ, but their coding is pretty poor: people have all kind of problems, the game is resource hog and there're plenty of minor problems nobody pays attention now. Hats off to big Dom2 team who manages to produce stable code despite (maybe due?) to their small numbers http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif |
