Default 2009 PC gaming

http://adrianwerner.wordpress.com/games-of-2009/

So now that my hardware is up to date I can again follow recent games, and on the above link there's a pretty good list of games that are announced for 2009. What are your expectations? Will 2009 be better for PC gaming than 2008 was?

Well, 2008 wasn't that bad, I have played some good titles I won't forget about
Hardware up to date is an utopia in the last years , don't know if you have tried one of the Crysis series...but you could be disapponted by your new machine even if it's not its fault.

But I can't wait to see Blizzard's sons released, damn we are talking about history of gaming...I think I could sell a kidney just to play Starcraft II and Diablo3.

A friend with a slightly weaker machine than mine can play crysis in 1280*1024 with high details and some amount of anti aliasing turned on so I guess it would work on my PC too. Besides I payed my around 700€, a couple of years ago if you would buy a machine for that money it would already be outdated. PC hardware is cheaper than ever. :P

The only game I had problem running is GTA4 which runs on about 25-30FPS but with high details. However that game is terribly optimized for PC, though otherwise it's an excellent game.

I'm getting too old I guess, only a few that *maybe* could interest me,
As are:
Wing Commander Saga
Cryostasis
Aliens: Colonial Marines
And one that could be something: Last Half of Darkness: Tomb of Zojir

What I really miss are some good flightsims that aren't arcadish or consolish.

And of course most fps games ourdays lack the SP gameplay that can last over ten houres, what a sh*t, finishing a game in less then 8 houres on 'hard' and die hardly twice or trice .... total crap.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooring.

Well, he didn't activated Ultra graphics...and antialiasing isn't really activated, it's a problem of recent games, he should do it manually

I think I'll be hoping for more good stuff from GoG, as well as picking up any classics I've missed in the past couple of years.

Age of Decadence interests me, though I dunno if it'll be done in '09! Similarly for Diablo 3. Dragon Age: Origins might be out though.

As an hardcore strategy gamer, I find very sad that the only game which I can find even remotely interesting in that genre is Starcraft 2. And even then...

Spotted a lot of games in the other genres I'd be willing to try. Won't happen if they are pay to play though. I'll never risk losing good money on bad games. I been burned too often already.

These are the ones that cought my attention as well. 2 are based on freeware. well actually one is freeware.

Well it's actually already out. I think at the very beginning of this year. The freeware flightsim with almost the whole world maped and over 200 planes i believe (i could be wrong on this one). anyway: www.flightgear.org

I still have the previous (1.0) version and only a couple of planes, but man is it good. Ok not all the airports are done yet. but I downloaded my area. and i am still learning by visual flying. So far i flew to Venice, some small croatian islands and Austria. Mostly i can find the airport by knowing area. and i can even land. a bit rough but still...:thumbs:

Anyway the new version has flight plans and many other cool stuff.

On the FPS topic is Boiling point any good?

Oh and EoF Total war series seems promising and i also Anno. but you are right mostly they are not really interesting. i mean strategy should be played with the propper map like view not through the eyes of the private etc. (like world at war and the like)
