I miss the days when the gameboy wasnt simply a platform for various franchises to slap their title on a POS game then sell it to me claiming its the best thing ever. That and I hate Golden Sun, and I hate people who think its a good RPG. Golden Sun is a piece of crap people. End of story. Go play FF3 / FF6 and tell me Golden Sun is good.

I miss the days when people would stop dissing a game company because they went out on a limb and tried something NEW. God forbid you fanboys let go of Doom.

The only FF game i've had a beef with is FFIX and that's simply because the fighting is a little...wrong.
Right now I own FFV, FFVI, FVII, FFVIII, FFIX, FFX, gonna get FFI, FFII, FFIII, FFIV and FFX-2.
I want a frikin Chrono Trigger port to PC with the Warcraft III engine. Darn consoles, they make like 3 good games per console and then don't port any of them to the PC!

Fallout 3 isn't in production and if it's made chances are that they will adapt it for younger ages unfortunately (even if I don't mind to loose some of what was seen in Fallout 2). I don't have high hopes for the console action game that is based on the Fallout world.

The games that I’m looking forward to don’t differ much from most of you.
<b>Deus Ex 2</b> I loved the first game and I just hope that they've spent as much effort on gameplay as they've spent on eyecandy.
<b>Half-Life 2</b> I wonder if it really can live up to the hype but I don't think that I'll be disappointed either way.
<b>Lionheart</b> Seems interesting though it's not a definitive purchase. I'll probably try to get my hands on Planescape Torment before this game.
For the 2 ppl that said Fallout 3, yes there is a fallout game in production.
Its called Fallout : Brotherhood Of Steel
1. Its not like the originals and so isnt really Fallout 3 2. its real-time 3. Its full 3Dwith rotating options 4. Its for X-Box and PS2 5. Interplay banned any disscission on its own forum about the game 6. The Fallout community is **** to put it nicly due tot he fact that its everything they didnt want 7. Fallout 3 wont happen till the licence is sold to sierra so that Troika(the ppl who made fallout 1) can make us a good Fallout game and not a spin off.

EDIT: yeah halo for pc because on the consoles with controllers they were no good.
I'm really not half bad with the gamepad on Halo. The thing that makes me want to grab an X-box is the fact that if you put 4 x-boxes and 16 people in the same room with the right networking equipment, you can be arguing over slayer or capture the flag in three minutes flat.

The first game in the FF series that I played was VIII, can I pretty please join the club? <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->It may have been "great" for it's time compared to other games but I don't think that it's something that you should take into consideration when it comes to dialogue, plot and characterization since humans have been able to create great literary works for a long time. Games that appear to have plots written by or for three year olds should not be excused when people wrote splendid novels at the same time.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> Why are you complaining about FFVI's plot when VII's was 100 times worse, VIII's was 1000 times worse, IX's was 10000 times worse ect...?
And whoever said Runescape... yuck, I can't see how anyone could be looking forward to anything that has anything to do with that game.
As for me, I'm mainly looking forward to Jedi Academy, HL2 and some games out right now once i upgrade.
cool.
also looking forward to Seven Samurai.
