Games you want Sequels to

[sir_schwick]

I was disappointed in Jade Empire's combat system. Originally I thought they were going to make it be a tournament-fighter within an RPG, sorta like Oni. Instead it was just pushing the attack button a lot.

there should be a sequel to age of mythology, i played that game exclusivley fpr about a year until i got bored with it.

Even BF1942's "single player campaigns" are poor campaigns as they are exactly the same as multiplayer except with bots.

I don't consider that a bad thing though. If there's a swell singleplayer map, I'll want to play it in multiplayer, and vice versa. It's certainly better than Battlefield Vietnam, where there's no campaign and just individual maps.

The gamerankings average for Civ3 is 89%. That doesn't sound like near-perfection to me. Even Age of Empires II has a higher average (actually, a higher average than all the Civ games except Civ4. Same with World of Warcraft, Shadow of the Colossus, Super Mario Sunshine, Rome: Total War, Call of Duty, Alpha Centauri, etc.)

If someone played Civ3 and wasn't a fan of it, that's fine, but judging a game purely by some review is no indication of whether you'll like it or Perfection will like it or even if most people will like it. It's like movies; Citizen Kane gets great critical reviews but how many people consider it one of their favorite movies?

WHERE?! What is it like?

It's in Windows Vista. New graphics and it makes a big "boom" sound when you click on a mine. Here's a picture courtesy of Google Images:

I'm sure you could try it at any computer store. Kind of costly to buy though, I doubt you'll be able to find it for less than $80.

Battlefield was never meant to be experienced as a single-player game, and even BF1942 shows that. What I would love however, is a new Second World War based game with the quality of BF2 (particularly the squad and talk system) with the '42 maps.

Eh, back when I got Battlefield I didn't have regular Internet access, so single player was all there was. It certainly isn't brilliant single-player, but the way the maps are the advance/retreat dynamics work well (better than BF2 where you'll have random attacks on any old place), and you could have tons of bots (up to 64, compared to BF2's 16), so there were certainly bright spots.

And I've never played Civ2, perhaps it is the next step up from Civ3. It looks like I might get a chance to this summer though, maybe then I'll be a Civ2 Fanatic.

Oh certainly, and I did the same. I always wondered why they never took steps to improve the single-player experience in future instalments, even if only to allow you some off-line practice against a decent opponent. I remember playing the original Unreal Tournament a lot offline, and loving the bots.

I think battlefield 1942 needs a sequel, I know theres the others, but I mean another world war II one with all the systems that later installments added.

Yeah, like we need to have another WWII shooter.

AoM should have a sequel with Persians! And Aztecs! And Indians! And Japanese! And...................................................!

Is it the fact that they're set in World war II that makes them bad? Is there something inherently wrong with world war II that makes it deserving of negative ca notation? No? There isn't?Crazy.

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

There are sooooooooo many WWII shooters out there that it isn't funny.

 

[Maniacal]

I do agree that there are too many, but so far Red orchestra has been my favourite (Call of Duty 1 was a lot of fun too). Red orchestra could use a physics upgrade though.

Again, what does the setting of world war II have to do with the quality of the game? Thats like saying that girl cant be good because there are already to many blonds, its the game play that counts. Your one of those annoying twelve year olds who watches G4 knock the world war II setting all the time and then things they've latched on to some trend.

@Quintilius: Why don't we just STOP playing Civilization games entirely? They're not even remotely the best.

Seriously, until the release of Civ4, games like World of Warcraft, Age of Empires II, Super Mario Sunshine, Advance Wars, Rome: Total War, Alpha Centauri, and Call of Duty had a higher Gamerankings average than all Civ games.

Are you just trying to look dumb now?

You're being sarcastic, right?

The "best" game is just a matter of opinion. In my opinion Civ3 was better than those games simply because I enjoyed it a lot more. Of course it wasn't without flaws but stating that we should stop playing Civilization because Gamerankings says they aren't the best games is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

You're kidding right?

 

[Swein Forkbeard]

OK, yes I was dumb (just tell me which parts you thought were REALLY wrong). If we want to play Civ, we can play Civ. I actually like Civ, just that my computer can go bonkers. My point, though, was that Civ4 put the series "on the map" (meaning "on the Top 100 at Gamerankings"), but yes, it is a little different from the previous Civ games. So much, actually, that people (like you) hate it because it doesn't feel like Civ. Which is why (Cleric, Princescamp, please come here!) game series like Mario and Zelda and Metroid and Pokemon get milked like that; because they don't want to lose that FEEL.

Anyways, has anybody here played Conker's Bad Fur Day (I haven't, I just heard it was a great platformer)? If so, did you like it? Do you think it should have a sequel (please note that the Xbox game was just a remake)?

Why the bloody hell is there a view post option for people on your ignore list?

Swein, I'm sorry but, you're thick headed, pig brained and more of a moron than Bush.

Sheez, I just took back that post!

My post still stands. We have explained over and over again that you need ot think for yourself and that these lists are NOT FACT. merely ONE (maybe a few) people's opinion, who are payed to make them. As well it is hard to compare games across genres when ranking them.
