HL 2 and NFSU 2

10-31-2004, 06:18 PM

WELL... so far the release dates for these famous games are 16 nov. for hl2 and 9 nov. for nfsu2. Why the heck did they have to bring them out so close ? all i did this summer was to wait , and then play doom3 for 3 months about 3 times because there wasn`t anything else worthy... Now without even a week apart these two "beauties" cramp my schedual; so the question i ask is :

SHOULD THERE BE LOTS OF PREETY GOOD GAMES ALL THE TIME , OR SHOULD THERE BE 3-4 MASTERPIECES PER YEAR THAT WOULD AMAZE THE GAMING COMUNITY AND REVOLUTIONIZE THE GAME INDUSTRY.

phfoooey , that was long...

p.s.:the crappy "just-to-fill-my-hard-drive" games should not be included

Yeah, this is a pain

Nothing happens through the summer for games and never really has

Then you get loads of titles in the four months running up to Christmas :bucky!: Which is crazy as nobody but the rich and spoilt can afford all of the titles

So i would rather see less games but better quality ones :thumbup:

I like it when good games are constantly released, as we are definitely seeing with this year. It's picking up towards Christmas, predictably, and I like it because I hate downtime when it's months before the next big game is released.
