Future games you are excited about
Ikrik:
Do you want to know what else is about 12 hours long, entirely linear, with tons of scripted sequences? Uncharted 1 and 2. Linearity and Scripting are not bad things in any way. I'm hating how these words are being used to denigrate games now.
However, I've also heard that it is insanely tough with some rather interesting choices. Like that really good bullets are your currency. See, there are two kinds of bullets: pre-nuke and post-nuke. Pre-nuke bullets are what are used as currency to buy things but on the flip side they also do something like twice as much damage and are more accurate. The journalists who demo'd the game said that everyone was using their currency to kill enemies because the ammo supply is super limited.
Felrender:
I am tired of open-world games that aren't really open, anyway. Stalker confines you with enemies you can't kill easily, and anomalies that you can't knock down. And honestly, a lot of the time, open-world bores me. I tolerated it in Fallout 3, because it was fun to listen to music and do the random encounters, but it is a large part of why I can't finish Oblivion. And besides, scripted sequences are fun.
Scandanavian War Machine:
Yeah, they had a little blerb about Metro 2033 in this months GI and it sounds pretty interesting. I had heard almost nothing about it until now, so I'm interested.
1. You're map is an actual, paper map that you pull out and look at in real time (look out, behind you!)
2. Ammo as currency. Finally, a post-apocolyptic currency that makes sense (no, i won't trade you my gun for a pile of bottle caps, what the fuck?)
3. Timing your own oxygen usage when wearing respirators/gas masks (gasp choke cough cough)
4. It's the fuckin' apocolypse, c'mon!
Tentatively excited: This could be a good game.*

LTK:
I read that Fallout: New Vegas will boast a Hardcore mode that accounts for ammo weight and thirst, among others, things that the Fallout 3 community made mods for.
ArcAirbender:
Wow est, that game must really have you going because you "sound" (as I read) to me so different that your usual posts.
Maybe is all in my head anyway.
In response to your post, I hope a decent Starflight sequel comes arround soon.
EA killed that project eons ago, but apparently a pulse remains.
The original starflight continues to be one of the best games I've ever played in my entire life. Then again the list is accompanied by titles such as Enemy Territory and Harvest Moon.
In a related news, a strange thing happened to me a few weeks ago: I reinstalled and played Diablo 2 (with the LoD expansion pack) thoroughly and finished it as a way of lubing my way for D3 (whenever that thing might ship). As I finished the game, I felt as if I finally outgrew the franchise. I even found the clickety clack of the mouse utterly ridiculous now.
I think I'm showing signs of resistance to nostalgia. Who knows if it'll be the same with Starflight.
