Anticipated Games of '11

[Cyco]

Diablo 3, KoTOR, and maybe Dungeon Siege 3....I'd like a hack and slash RPG that the wife and I can play, it's going to be forever before D3 comes out.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this yet and that there's no other thread about it, but there's a sweet looking co-op action RPG coming out very soon called Magicka.

Diablo 3??

I'd say this, as it's one of the only games I know that is coming out in 2011... but shit, I've lost anticipation for it. The guys are making it way not like how Diablo was. For one, NO HEALTH POTIONS? NO MANA POTS? WTF?! Two, it's way too happy-go-lucky/FUCKING-WORLDOFWARCRAFT-like. It needs to be dark and gruesome like Diablo with the creepy ass music and shit. That stuff scared the shiiiit outta me as a 7 year old. The butcher? OMFG. Giant skeleton king about to pounce on your ass and rape you? RUN FOR THE HILLLS!!!

They really brought that game down too much. The heroes look like shit too.

Duke Nukem Forever

Left 4 Dead 2 expansion - maybe an original left 4 dead map ported over to left 4 dead 2

Diablo III

Borderlands 2

Thats all that I can think of right now

For me:
Q1 Dawn of war II: Retribution
Q1/2 Heroes of Might and Magic VI

<sarcasm because I do not know what your "Q" acronym means>

Quake 1 Dawn of war???

Quake 1/2 Heroes of might and magic?

What does Quake 1 and 2 have to do with those games?

That actually looks like it may be fun.

 

[Lorne]

Dungeon Seige 3
Homeworld 3 (heard sneaky rumors, Or maybe just wishfull thinking)
The Duke Forever.
D3
Spellforce (Forgot latest title)
Dungeon.
Portal 2.

Mass Effect 3

I just started the first Mass Effect and it's awesome. I picked up both of them when they were on sale. Will be awesome to play 1-2 and then catch 3 later this year when it comes out.

Are you serious?

 

[xboxist]

I'm oddly looking forward to Brink. That type of game is not normally my cup of tea but it looks fun and unique enough to keep my eye on.

Other that I will play in 2011:

Diablo (if it comes out; probably won't)
Dead Space 2
Red Dead Redemption (if it ever gets ported, lol)

There was another game that I had my eye on.. I think it had to do with an alternate-present setting in a Korean-occupied USA?

That's it right there for me. What I'm really looking forward to, anyhow. There are others that I'll grab but I don't think they'll draw me in as much.

Rage
Bulletstorm
Batman
Dead Space 2
Crysis 2
Duke Nukem
FEAR
Max Payne 3


Maybe the new Driver, too.

sorry but you're wrong. blizzard doesn't make bad games

Bullshit. SC2 was a huge disappointment. The map editor is hella weak.

 

[coreyb]

Troll harder Trident. SC2 is a huge success.

Financial success != success as a successor to SC.

 

[coreyb]

yeah but tons of people playing it, huge esports scene surrounding it and sc1 players starting to play it does = success. are all your opinions retarded?

 

[Elcs]

I heard whispers from the Immaterium (some site has a pre-order up with a date) that Dark Millennium is due out late Q3/Q4 this year. For those who don't know, Warhammer 40k MMO. Any truth to this or has anyone else heard similar? Perhaps the demons of Chaos are trying to lure me in.

The trailer didn't inspire me with confidence as a 40k fan and I haven't heard anything since except this possible release date

coreyb: There is no need to be insulting or derogatory of someones opinion. Plenty of people share a similar opinion including myself.

SC2 was average, much like SC in my opinion. A good game but undeserving of it's cult following.

 

[zebano]

Why are so many people psyched for Dungeon Siege 3? The first one had some ok coop, the second had better graphics but really left something to be desired... maybe I'm just getting older but spamming that one spell over and over and over isn't as much fun as it used to be.

 

[shortylickens]

Demo for Magicka was alright. The game is fun, but the consolitis is killing me. I never liked combo button mashing. It was annoying in fighting games and has no place in hack'n'slash. I'd rather make the combo once in a spell menu and then save it somehow. Using keys A-Z for such combos would be fine by me.
I forsee a lot of folks making macros to run in the background just to make the game playable, something that cant happen on the Xbox or Playstation.

Recommend everyone try the demo from Steam. Only 300 megs.

 

[shortylickens]

A.R.E.S demo was pretty cool. But I highly recommend a 360 controller. Good luck with anything else.

What the hell is this?
