Who knew again?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Results time;


I'm not even going to bother rating;
Krylo - Cyber Lover 52 - That's... just wrong. I mean, I may be a desperate nerd, but I'm not that desperate!
Fifthfiend - The sequel to Chrono Trigger - I'm assuming this is some theoretical joke based game, and because of that, it goes here. Also I've never played Chrono.
Archbio - Final Fantasy XX - Until there's actual info to be anticipating this game, I can't really say I'm looking forward to it. However it goes higher than these other 2, because I probably will anticipate it more than these others when that time comes.
bluestarultor - Devil May Cry 5 - Same reason as above, but I'd more want to play DMC than FF. I did say upcoming games guys, not "might be upcoming in years to come".

Actual properly ratable answers;
9)Death by Stabbing - Mass Effect 2 - Never played the first game, not awaiting a sequel.
8)Smarty McBarrelpants - Scribblenauts - Seems interesting, but it's for a system I don't own nor intend to own.
7)Kerensky287 - Dissidia - If I still used my psp at all then this might've been higher. But I don't, so it's not.
6)Overcast - Deus Ex 3 - If the 2nd game wasn't so utterly terrible I might be wanting this more, but the fact that one was makes me wary of the 3rd. Also a lack of actual info on the game itself doesn't help. However I can still have a slight hope!
5)Ape Boy - Arkham Asylum - Now we're getting somewhere! Yes, I am actualy looking forward to this one. Looks ace.
4)The Wandering God - Bioshock 2 - But this looks, er... ace-er! Playing as a superpowered Big Daddie and wrecking shit up?! Hell yeah!
3)Mr. Bookworm - God of War III - I think it's a pretty well known fact I love GoW and I've been waiting for this for a while. Can't wait to rip the shit out of the entire Greek pantheon as the angriest man in gaming.
2)krogothwolf - Final Fantasy XIII - But this I've been waiting for even longer, and every time I see more on it the more awesome it looks. This is gona be so fucking epic.
1)Seil - Half Life 2: Episode 3 - But after that ending in the last episode, I simply have to play this. It's like an addiction with me, I need to know how it all ends damnit!!!

Seil wins. There was no really clear cut insta-winner this time, but the top 5 were all pretty good answers. The new AVP and the Last Guardian would have also done pretty good.

Damn, you posted before I could get off Assassins Creed 2 >.< Oh well, that will teach me to sleep in.

[Overcast]

Heh I do relate on the feeling the second game gave me, and I must say my expectations tell me things will be dumbed down for a general audience rather than intuitive and complex like the first game. I also have always been a bit awkward with prequels. Origin stories are fun, but prequels are just a storyline on the way to what we already know. So they have a lot of ground to cover to get my full respect(not that they actually care).

We shall see.

I'll be honest; I hated the first AC. Like genuinely hated it, it's one of the few games where I said "you know what? FUCK THIS!!" and never finished. Which was a shame because it started off brilliantly, before it turned into a steaming pile of vile. For a more detailed review of my thoughts, see Zero Punctuation.

So the sequel has a lot of work to do to make me want to play it. You'd have probably placed last with that game. Yes, even below the games that I've never even given a first thought to playing.

Oh, damn...

I was very pleased with the first Assassins Creed. Didn't 100% the game like I normally set out to do, but still enjoyed it and finished it.

Had it's flaws, and AC2 looks like it's adding a bunch of cool shit to counter the faults.

[Overcast]

I really did want for it to take place in the present/future that was presented. Altair was great and all and I am sure Enzio will be fine, but I want to see what the skills Desmond gained by being his ancestor have inspired in him.

In the end the storyline probably will not be progressed much further, we just get to watch someone with a pension for assassination jumping on buildings again, killing people. Perhaps with a bit less uniformity, but still the same idea, in a new place with a new mission. What new things could possibly be learned through this in the future I have no clue, and the possibility this could be filler is an actual worry.

Course I am just a negative guy. Also, I figure you got a face for every feeling Krylo.

Enough shtick though, lets see the next topic.

[Krylo]

Well the next one is going to be them trying to get clues as to the whereabouts of another orb thingie I can't remember the name of from Desmond's mind. Last game he got eagle vision, this game he'll probably attain something else.

This will probably end in the culmination of a few plot points leaving Desmond with no choice but to escape and take care of shit himself.

I think it was slotted to be a trilogy, so it makes sense to have another 'historic' game. Especially one to introduce guns to Desmond.

[Overcast]

I can only hope that the feeling of the sequel is episodic like Half Life, such that it could stand on its own as a good game rather than giving me the feeling of Halo 2 where I just felt like I was walking a bridge to the next game.

Though I do agree that will probably be where it ends up. It seems like most of the assassins are dead or severely weakened anyway after the events of the first game as seen in the present of the game. Eventually we all know he will have to go from bartender to badass.
