The Games You Want to See

A SR game that isn't a simple "k1ll l0n3 st4r 4nd t4k3 th31r suXX0rs 5tuff r0fl0l" affair should definitively have a strong emphasis on planning. Explore the complex to auto-map or steal a map, take it to map view and plan everyones way, go on sidequests to steal IDs and badges and keycards and stuff, and have a script option to start with a single button tap alternative action algorythms for your NPC buddies if things turn ugly. Dreams...

Still, a Cyberpunk GTA would be frickin' sweet.

I second a GOOD new Shadowrun game. Multiplayer...but not Massively.

a Vampire: the Requiem MMO...not WoD but just VtR.

Exalted...I think an action game would work the best.

Engel, just a cool world...

Mutants and Masterminds. Not COH but some other  :)

I was excited for half a second. Then I checked availability. And yup, rather restricted in Germany. Well, the Austrian border is pretty near...

So, before I drive into the land where people talk even funnier than here: Any good, from a RP-gamer perspective?

I really liked the Crackdown demo. I was highly disappointed that when I bought the game that it was basically the demo without a time limit. Not nearly enough content, just go out, shoot people, rinse, repeat. And when you shoot enough people, you get a big FU for your ending.

They put out an extra content pack with more vehicles and weapons but I said "Screw that. That's stuff that should have been in the original game. They're not going to be rewarded for holding back on cool stuff by getting more of my money."

There's some RP elements. You gain Experience points for what you use in the game. Run around a lot and soon enough your "cyberarmor" will upgrade you to the point you're jumping 15 ft in the air and running 30 MPH (You can actually get to the point you're leaping 100 ft in the air and running 90 MPH).


Shoot people a bunch (and you will) your shooting ability goes up. It's very much a brain-dead action version of GTA. No plotline, just run and gun against gang members as a one man police force.

a (n)WoD) mmorpg.

or a decent fighter based around superheroes.
 

Thanatos02

I would play a Planescape MMO so hard.
I would drop the FFXI game that I love to do it.
I would have, like, 3 alts.

No problem. It would sell itself, and there would be expansions and new, awesome gear forever. They should let me plan it. I would make the game I always wanted to play, for realz.

It's a tragedy there's none forthcoming. Ebberon is ok, is that still going alright? Darksun is another I'd consider, but Planescape, after Torment, was always my greatest D&D love just because it was everything about D&D taken to 11.
God in the Machine.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

World of Darkness MMO is coming out (made by the EvE guys, couldn't have picked a better group for it myself)

As far as the superhero thing: Blizzard Entertainment made a pretty decent superhero fighter called Justice League: Task Force for the Super Nintendo in the mid 90's. Maybe you should find a SNES emulator and legally acquire a rom of it ;)

Danger

A revamp of the whole X-Wing/Tie Fighter franchise would be nice.

Somehow, work in the ship boarding aciton from Battlefront 2 (but I want a bit more realism than the command center being right off of the flight deck and that means levels and such) and toss in a whole bunch of people online and color me Wheeee!

But, don't give me no "trading," crap.  Hauling freight and smuggling farmboys ain't sexy.  Sexy is watching a TIE go into a flaming spin after you take off one of its "wing" panels with a careful burst and crash into the side of a large capitol ship.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.
