For me, the main target in upcoming year is GTA V PC. If it comes before summer and if it has a solid MP like GTA IV had, I wonät need any other game next year. Iäll be probably only playing in Los Santos until I see my colleagues through scope site with a crosshair between their eyes :angel:
But I also look forward to a no nonsense shooter like killzone; shadow fall (for PC) or some other good MP shooter that will function without lagging and with a high skill=satisfaction grade.
I also look forward to a good coop game. Something like a singleplayer that is possible to entirely play in coop, with extra benefits regarding strategies etc.
As you may realise, I donät have a big list of titles that may be worth trying, just some strong desires. Actually, I think I can survive 2014 with only 3 good titles: GTA V, good MP shooter, good COOP game. Thatäs it. Iäm thinking about upgrading my vid card to make the joy in those games raise to the ceiling :)
Hope you will add your desires as well, and who knows you provide me with the excellent tip that will lead to my joy 8)
Edit: Sorry for the äs all over, I currently type on a spanish Macbook thatäs applied to Swedish preferences, so any reading token brings a surprise to me. I stopped wondering how to overcome, itäs still readable anyway ::)
Iäm waiting for GTAV, too. And a racing game called Assetto Corsa. Thatäs all :)
Iäm using a German keyboard and am doing this on purpose. :-()
Nothing for me so far. I might get Battlefield 4 for the PS4 though - my son is playing online with his friends, and is having a blast. He's invited me to join his group of thugs

Garrett, the Master Thief, steps out of the shadows into the City. In this treacherous place, where the Baron's Watch spreads a rising tide of fear and oppression, his skills are the only things he can trust. Even the most cautious citizens and their best-guarded possessions are not safe from his reach.
As an uprising emerges, Garrett finds himself entangled in growing layers of conflict. Lead by Orion, the voice of the people, the tyrannized citizens will do everything they can to claim back the City from the Baron's grasp. The revolution is inevitable. If Garrett doesn't get involved, the streets will run red with blood and the City will tear itself apart.

MUAHAHAHAHAHA :laugh: +1 :-X for that entire post fragger mate!!
^-^ :-X Eggzellent zbelling dare, mait ^-^ Tjirzz, ~* ;)
Gotta say that title sounds promising Nex!!!
I am also interested in Evolve. A game that will be launched this autumn by 2K games that bought the rights of both Left for Dead and Counter Strike when THQ died. They decided to combine those two games into a new setup; a group of 4, against a fifth player that will be the monster. Imagine a team like in LFD, with TF2-like specialities (medic, assault, heavy, scout, that sort of) fighting against a monster with superpowers. All 5 players human, so it's brutal force against teamwork. Graphics should be based on the new gen consoles, and it will be available for PC right away. And the good thing is; 2K games designs proper, non-lagging online gameplay. Much better than the crappy performance Ubi has to offer, with their 19th century game servers ::)
The game will be situated in the near future, on a violent planet where both flora and fauna will be violent. Sounds promising as well :)
Sounds like you been to SA lately fragger ???
because it looks a lot like how English is spoken in the "NEW" SA ::) :-D
is that "new" English that resembles Aussie English an improvement or a deterioration, in your opinion?
I can already virtually see fragger sharpening his daggers in anticipation of a certain reply. :-D
Dropping bombs Art? :-D :-()
I am? ??? No. Just laying out baits. :-D
What I meant is in the way the words are spelt, it's very similar as to how the new SA people spell a lot of words, if we try and spell these new words to resemble how they pronounce them then we need a whole new dictionary, because it takes time to decipher.
Things are so bad now, all teachers have to write an exam on the subjects they teach, so the department of education can determine whether they are competent to teach :o
lol :laugh:

thanks to mandru who pointed me to Trevor Noah, I found this little gem.

I played Battlefield 4 (for the PS4) online with my son today, and it actually was a blast. Lots of maps to play, lots of people per game (like 65 or so) broken into squads of 4. If you are killed, you can choose to spawn in a variety of places, or you can spawn with one of your squad members.
The PS4 comes with an ear bud plus microphone that plugs directly into the controller so you easily have voice contact with your squad members
team play without voice chat is nearly useless. Good idea, a plug in the controller. :) :-X
If BF4 SP is anything like BF3 then I will let it pass, to me BF3 is just shoot everything that comes in your way or getting shot by invisable shooters from all directions, you also have to fight your way through the ruines of massive buildings of which nothing makes sense as to why and for what reason all the destruction, with none or a very limited storyline.
Guess FC2, BC2 and MOH 2010 spoilt me. :-(

You're correct, nex - although the single player version of B4 is tons better than B3. I also have B3, and gave up on it before I'd even made it much past the story intro. Although the game play in B4 is not that different, the graphics are so stunning that I'm actually having fun in the single player version. Playing online is also quite a bit of fun - you can do anything in a battle from close quarters combat to aircraft, tanks, and just about anything.
Problem is that like with any other multiplayer game, I will not play enough to become really proficient, thereby always being the one killed most often.
If you can get it for a few bucks on the bargain racks one of these days, it might be worth it.
There is one title I'd like to see come out this year - Half-Life 2 Episode 3. But I know it won't, it never does and probably never will. Which sucks because the ending of HL2E2 was kind of up in the air and was clearly left open for the next episode to pick up from. HL2 is getting a bit old now but I would have liked to have found out more about how the Aperture Corporation (the Portal company) connects with the storyline, and just to see how things were wrapped up in general. It's a bit like getting into a really good miniseries only to miss out on the last episode :D
I was also looking forward to enjoying some more Gravity Gun mayhem (pardon me, Judith - I meant the Zero-Point Energy Field Manipulator ;)). It was great fun braining bad guys with high-speed barrels, cinderblocks, tyres, planks and on one memorable occasion, an old toilet. Sticking your face in the bowl is unhealthy enough, but when the bowl is moving at about 200kph it can be really detrimental to your constitution >:D

I guess we will Fragger. But I doubt it will be this year. :( I can't imagine that they leave us hanging for eternity but it is getting somewhat late indeed. I still hope for a brilliant Episode 3, but I guess they have been hunting for too long on that shockingly revolutionary game-design and must have gotten carried away with the Portal franchise.
Well, there is hope. Duke Nukem Forever was released, too.
It only took slightly more than a decade :-()
That's cool - that's about how long it will take me to re-download the earlier episodes from Steam :'(
no, it won't. Once you've got a decent internet connection, that is :-()
True. I certainly hope so. Otherwise it would be quicker for Steam to ship me the game code so I can type it in myself ::)
you're crazy. :laugh: I do remember those times, though.. waiting impatiently for the newest edition of "Chip" or the other computer mag (there were only two or three mags out back then) and then off home, computer on, and two hours of typing in code just to watch a few characters (no, not avatars, we're talking symbols and letters) move around the TV (no monitors back then). I hope no one will call those "good" times. They were s#!t. It took nearly 30 years to get halfway decent computers for home use, those in front of us now.
Ah yes, I remember those "type-in-your-own-code-and-see-something-really-lame" things well. Cor, the time I wasted on those stupid things back then :-() I've got way better things to waste my time on nowadays!
Oh now you're posting here? :) Damn you beat me to it :-D I wanted to post just that second ahead of you :-()
By the way, a perhaps stunning title for 2014 can be found here (http://www.openworldgames.org/owg/forums/index.php?topic=3399.0) (at OWG) :-()
:-D
Cheers, I'll go over there then and have a look :)
Then I think you guys might like this clip

BLASPHEMY! ??? KILL THE HEATHEN!! >:D
Hehe, crazy :) I do recognise the sounds of a C64 produced by the "SID" (sound interface device, a programmable sound generator) but man.. that is a double violation of both a bass and a C64.
I just found a review of the game, a couple of Dutch tweakers got early access to the game in order to test it and they wrote an excellent article about it. Can't give you guys a brief translation, but check the link, there's a small video on the first page.
http://tweakers.net/reviews/3395/1/evolve-op-monsters-jagen-in-het-oerwoud-ervaren-studio.html (http://tweakers.net/reviews/3395/1/evolve-op-monsters-jagen-in-het-oerwoud-ervaren-studio.html)
The game looks and sounds extremely interesting. I think this Turtle-Rock studio got everything out of a total new concept; 4 vs 1 multiplayer. 4 hunters against one monster, or, one monster against 4 hunters >:D
The way the game developed the skills seems perfectly balanced, forcing the group to w@&k tightly together as a team. The way the gameplay is designed seems to guarantee fluid, exciting and smooth gameplay where both the monster and the team have their chances if they manage to use their skills in the proper way and if they are fast enough in setting their traps to trick the other party.
The monster can and must evolve into a stage 3 monster to become strong enough to make a chance against the group of hunters. In order to grow and evolve it has to hunt and eat prey.
The hunters have to try to find and eliminate the monster before it reaches its full powers. So the game starts as a cat and mouse game and rapidly develops in a more balanced situation if the monster is able to remain undetected and hunt down enough prey to evolve.
The gaming world is like a large arena, open worldish, with limitations to keep the game tight enough to stay exciting at all time. The setting is a jungle with both plants and animals that try to hunt and eat the players. Some of the animals are even larger than the monster, so it is pretty exciting and dangerous for all players to wander around. What would you think of massive crocs or dinosaurs?
I'm looking forward to it already :)
