Most Anticipated Game?

Postby Mr. SmartyPants » Sat Aug 04, 2007 6:41 pm

It seems like there's a crapload of amazing titles coming out soon, and I'm just curious as to what your #1 most anticipated game is.

Me? Starcraft II hands down. But Super Smash Brothers Brawl would have to come into a close second, followed by Metroid Prime 3.

METROID! METROID!

It is the 20th anniversary of the series, so I had to do it as a birthday present. Besides, I adore the Metroid series.

I won't lie and say that my M.A. isn't Smash Bros. I will, however, lie and say that Metroid comes in second. Where does that leave Halo 3? The world may never know.

Though I might fib a bit in not saying that I'm excited about Phantom Hourglass.

Little Big Planet. What can be more fun than designing your own levels and having full control of the physics involved with it^^ Not to mention the cute and cuddly characters you can create^^ When it hits stores, I think there will be ALOT more people getting their hands on PS3s^^ So far though, it seems as though not many people really even KNOW about it. Indie, somewhat...

For me it's definitely SSBB. If I had played Starcraft back when I was younger, that would probably come in as a close second for me. But I only started playing more recently so I'm not quite as into it. I'm also very excited about Phantom Hourglass.

I'm superstoked about Halo 3 (particularly after reading about Forge mode), but recent revelations that Blizz is finally putting Heroic classes in WoW has raised my anticipation levels exceedingly.

Hmmmmm, gametrailers voted Halo 3 as the most anticipated game. Still, I think some of the underdogs will score higher in terms of quality than the most media focused.

I severly hope Mass Effect will be a hit. And gain the same respect as other great and new titles such as Gears Of War. And it is not discouragement that some of the people who developed KOTOR develop Mass Effect. What Kotor lacked was a cool combat system, which can be corrected through this game. Their interaction system on Mass Effect looks brilliant.

It CAN of coures prove to be not so cool as it seems to be, and fall into the same trap as Red Steel did. However, the hopeful scale and detail looks great.

Since I am one of the millions of people who is still playing WoW so long after its release, I am most excited for Wrath of the Lich King. The Death Knight hero class looks interesting, as do the destructible buildings and new zones.

If I had the money for an Xbox 360 (which may now happen thanks to the price drop), I would vote for Halo 3.

You do know that it is only ONE of the many hero classes, right? That's just the warrior/pally but there are ones for all classes, which is like a class fused together (so 2 classes share a hero class like that). Not sure where people have heard of what the other classes are, but apparently the info is there :/ Can't remember the names for the others, because I can't find any more info on it^^

Looking forward to it too, although I've yet to make it to Outlands still^^ Oh well, 7 months to go before I'll have to worry about it...

What server are you on anyhow? Chances aren't good that you'd be on mine of course, but you never know^^

I am familiar with the hero classes, which are currently all drawn from the Warcraft III rts games. That means that other potential hero classes could include such possibilities as the blademaster, demon hunter, keeper of the grove, tauren chieftan, and lich, just to name a few. The death knight is the only one announced so far, but Blizzard did say that the death knight is only the first of the many hero classes that will eventually be introduced as playable characters in World of Warcraft.

I play on several servers. Most of my mains are Alliance on the Stormscale server, but I also have characters on Skywall, Dark Iron, Smolderthorn, Gilneas, and a few others. If you don't have any characters on those servers, I would be happy to start a new one somewhere else (that's probably why none of my characers are 70 yet ;) ). Just PM me and let me know :) .

Maybe if there is enough interest, we could even designate an official CAA server; in fact, I am surprised there isn't already a CAA server, given all of the gamers who frequent these boards.

Do you mean like one of those 'free' servers people create, or can you actually make your own/buy one?

Nothing like that, just choosing a particular existing realm and making it the official gathering place for CAA members who play WoW, and creating a CAA guild. Naturally most people will already have established characters on other servers, so it would be more of a casual, fun way for CAAers to get together in WoW than a hardcore raiding guild.

We would have to decide on a realm (PvP or PvE), faction, & etc, but it would be fun if we could get enough people to form a CAA WoW guild.

Whether or not the CAA guild idea works out, we (and whoever else is interested) could still play together sometime :) .

I do know that Gypsy and Lightbringer play on Uldrum. I used to play with them before I quit (I can't stand paying 15 bucks a month XD Especially without a steady job at the moment). I may decide to go back into it. I kinda stopped with my human mage was level 23. XD

And Omega, just go get a Wii. XD
