Thought this might be of some interest to you all.
Planetside is ranked 39th :( and is losing to SWG and Shadowbane. Counter-Strike is starting to show its age by being way down at 99th place.

SWG appeals to the mass amount of drooling SW fans, most of which are online, so it doesent suprise me that its #1. Personally I want a new game, not somthing that puts me in a world i already know about. :D

Glad to see counterstrike moving down the list.

3. Unreal Tournament 2003 :eek: http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/sick.gif




PS.: Hamma or Arglaar this would be a great addition to our smileys -> :sick: (http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/sick.gif)

Enemy Territory #52? :flamemad:

The only game in the top 50 I am going to buy (excluding the ones I have already bought, which is only 3 of em') is Planetside, and how it is below Civ III Play The World is beyond me. That is an absolutely awful expansion.

That they somehow managed to put it below Nightfire is even more disconcerting.

[Hamma]

Planetside of course is the top game on that list I want. hehe, but also appealing to me is C&C Generals, Splinter Cell, SC4, and a couple others.

[War Mongrel]

Other than Planetside, I've been eagerly awaiting Max Payne 2, Star Wars: KOTOR, Battlefield 1942 Expansion, and Halo.

[Civilian]

Ooooooh yeah, I am definitely interested in the new Command & Conquer. That will be a good game to pick up and play while I'm waiting for PS!

[Hamma]

I was a C&C bitch before tribes and ps :P

[Sputty]

lol...Diablo II is on it...hehe...I was surprised Doom III wasn't number 1. I still want PS more

[Mopo]

Anyone noticed the part that says "Top 100 Most Wanted PC games as of January 3, 2002"? HMMM?

[Navaron]

Odd how they mixed the old games with games that aren't even out yet. Well hell, Planetside 2 is my #1 list.

[Sandtaco]

Planetside and SWG are doing extremely good seeing as the games have not even been released yet.

[MrVicchio]

This just proves that sony needs to spend about 2 million on a MASSIVE advt. campaign for PS... really it does.

Also, for those of you eager for CC:Generals.. haveing played the game for a month now.. I am leery, VERY leery of this title.

[FireFrenzy]

They most definitely aren't the best 100 games, just the 100 most wanted (read the fine print). CS for example still has an extremely high amount of players and was probably better than alot of games on there, but was low because no one really wants it, they all own it!.
Btw hamma, C&C lagged to shit ;) but i used to play it on heat.net

[TheSHiFT]

swg....#1.... uhhh.............................................. ..............

[Sputty]

The mass of star wars fans and the hgype surrounding that is immense. I don't see how they can live up to it.

[Hamma]

I doubt they can/will live up to it.

[Sputty]

Yeah, seems likme it will be difficult and I think if something beocmes too hyped like SWG people will be disappointed

[avail]

I totally agree that SoE needs to do some major ad campaigns during these next few months. Alot of people I talk to about playing PS either don't initially know what it is, or have just heard the name thrown around.

I want big cutouts at stores :D

[Hamma]

Ditto.

[Sputty]

Yeah, hopefully they will but I haven't seen any adds for SWG but the SW community has spies everywhere.. :scared:

[BLuE_ZeRO]

74. NHL 2003... why the hell is there a NHL game in a top anything? and 47. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 ? who the hell compiled this list? there are about 90 games on that list that I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot stick. Why is Halo on there but not Halo 2? Damn crackhead bastards. IGN users need to lay off the meth and only vote for games that have the chance to be played by more than 3 people worldwide.

[Sputty]

There are alot of people who like sports games(I'm not one of them) and Need for speed 2 is a good 2 player race game for people who like race games. Don't forget not everyone's like you. Stop being so ethnocentric.

[Navaron]

"ethnocentric" that's like an invert racsist, - thinking you're the only one in the world.

Maybe sputty should change his name to Snobby. :rolleyes:

[Sputty]

Wrong word soory...Forget the other word meaning Expecting all people to have same value as you. s usual I hve about 5 hours of sleep every 2 days so I write stuff and lately remember what I did.

[Civilian]

I also thoroughly enjoy sports game, but NHL 2003 is absolutely the most horribly unrealistic hockey game I have ever played. The fact that 2003 made that list rather than 2k3 shows how uninformed alot of hockey gamers are. I am an EA whore myself, and love Madden and NCAA 2003, but I will never buy another hockey game from EA.

[Sputty]

All sports games are unrealistic..I've played a few and tehy're really stupid. In hockey games it's jsut who can hit the most and then carry the puck to the net...

[BLuE_ZeRO]

It's not about games that I like or dislike but those games frankly are not good. Have you seen a hockey game awarded game of the year by anyone?

I Like sports games, nothing wrong with them but those games are pretty much crap. If you're going to look forward to a game why not look forward to a good one? Aside from games like madden and a couple of the ncaa football/basketball games, sports games have been lacking in the great game department but excelling in the sucking ass department.

That list was probably filled in by sub par games because there are what like 10-20 games that people look forward to on PC a year?

I somewhat agree. I followed Shadowbane for almost three years, until they finally went to beta and got into the second round. Right from the get go they had a fanbase, much like planetside, and from there the community kept growing and growing. However this was not because of massive spending on Wolfpack's behalf it was all the community's doing. Website after website went up singin gthe praises of a game that hadn't even made it to it's alpha stage yet. They had an INCREDIBLY active forum, especially the DEV board....something that Planetside was lacking for sometime....Most of all there was the promise of BETA.

What am I saying? We need more sites like this, we have to spew Planetside propaganda wherever we go, hell I spent about a month running around Everquest shouting "SHADOWBANE IS COMING, SHADOWBANE IS COMING!"

Whip people into a frenzy, get them hyped, have a regualr update that provides the community with ANYTHING Planetside (screenshots, interviews, assign a few Internet public relations guys to get media out there....there no reason that this game can't be no.1

Oh and by the way...Wolf pack would find polls like this and link the community to them, why do you think Shadowbane was in the top last year?

The only game I'm buying is this one. I can't see how it will fail...If the servers are strong, and the game is balanced then the superior graphics of DIII will be nothing more than eye candy.

P.S. sorry bout the rambling, first post and all

[Wullic]

I kinda agree with you kurzgan. Communities spread a lot of time because word of mouth and fanbase advertising of sites. As an active cs player :( I have talked about planetside to many many people in the cs community. Its something that some of them are going to get and others just won't. (cs geeks that think they can get somewhere in life with the game :rolleyes: )


If that list was accurate, they say they did on fan base but hhmmm. anyways cs:cz wouldn't be that high. Popularity is going down and more people are looking for the future of gaming. Half the reason people still play cs is because of the clans/leagues that they are in. Including myself. Just a thought from me. :p
