Fallen Empire: Legions will be the best game this year, and GAF doesn't even know what it is. (Left4Dead Close 2nd)

You hookers enjoy your Pokemon and Gears of Cooking Mama II.

Isn't Fallen Empire: Legions dated for 2009 ?

+ There will also be Brutal Legend, Grim, Zeno Clash and Half Life 2 episode 3.

I'm pretty surprised at the quality. I thought 2008 would begin slowly after the awesome that was 2007 but so far the momentum just keeps on rolling. So far, I have Endless Ocean, Lost Odyssey, Culdcept Saga, Advance Wars: DoR, and Professor Layton. If there aren't any huge delays, I'll have to purchase Brawl, Mario Kart, Crisis Core, and a legion of DS titles in the next two months alone.

burnout paradise reunited me with racing games. it has been a special year thus far.



can you guys shut the fuck up with this shit?

I like how you quoted me and not the one who started it. Didn't like my opinion?
 
yes, i was only addressing playstation 3 owners. surely the spirit of my post was to attack and criticize people for their ownership of a consumer electronics product, and not for their puerile bickering about whose consumer electronics product was going to have "the better year."

a nice feel good thread turned to shit by a bunch of doofuses.

Well, he didn't start it. Saying it's going to be another great year for Wii60 owners is a pretty docile statement. I'm not sure how that conflicts with the upcoming library of the PS3.

He felt threatened. Pretty common feeling for Ps3 fans around here.

Geez stop whining. If you want to attack someone go attack the fanboys who still use the term Wii60 or the guy who started this shit.

It was still a completely unnecessary statement and everyone who's been on GAF for more than 20 minutes should see where it would lead. I wanted to subtly defuse it with my reply, but obviously that didn't work.

[edit]
And now WrikaWrek is here and the thread is fully wrecked.

Yeah sure I felt threatened. :lol I'm not the one bitching about it, I just shared my opinion.

With such a great PS3 lineup I don't think any PS3 owner feels threatened this year.
 
this thread is bizarre... the OP is talking about games that are out, hence "off to an amazing start" then people show up with a slew of stuff that's not out yet, and thus have an undetermined value on them being amazing.

wtf?

Actually, I don't see where it would have led had no one commented on it and twisted the literal meaning.

edit: I'm honestly confused here. Is there some negative meaning attached to Wii60?

OP should compensate by adding the huge amount of games he forgot to mention that are out, and are fuck awesome, to the OP.

Yup... it's a full blown List Warz now... which means it's time for locky locky.

My point was that on GAF, someone doing that was a foregone conclusion. The comment introduced consoles differences to a thread that didn't need them, everything thereafter is the natural GAF development resulting from that.
 
Excellent year already but where the hell are all the new announcements? - looks like we're gonna have a 0 console future... ;)
 
It's truly a great time to be a gamer. Only problem is... time constraints. If only days had 30 hours. I'll be lucky to play half of the games I want that come out this year :(

i feel almost blessed to have just graduated college, be unemployed, and waiting to leave for grad school in the fall. all i have to do right now is play video games, read books, and cook. it's like some kind of bad ass dream life.

This year I'm going PC:

Spore
Fallout 3
Starcraft 2
Mass Effect
Left 4 Dead
¿GTAIV?

Will we see Red Alert 3 this year?

My most anticipated Pc game is The Crossing. But i don't even know what's going on with that one.

I really hope that Crossing will make it in 2008 but i have a hunch that it will slip to 2009.

awesome. I can't wait for summer to get here so I can do the same. First there's this master thesis I have to finish. I've been meaning to go back to my PS2 backlog for a while now, but the 360 keeps pulling me back. Finishing up AC, bought Overlord, still have to play Gears of War at some point... games games games

Already make this probably my favourite start of the year for gaming, I'm also enjoying The Club too. (go £20 offer!)
 
I can't remember for sure, but I think this year is starting off better than 2007 did. That year broke off with Lost Planet and Crackton as my big releases, and while there's nothing close to The Crack yet, starting off with Burnout Paradise, DMC4, Rez HD, and Lost Odyssey makes me wonder if not only will 2008 be just as good as 2007 (this is just as a 360 owner, mind) but it might be better.

Also, three seasons of Lost in HD at my fingertips.

Yep. 2008 wins.
