anyone else feel the same way?

Im firing up Shogun 2 total war/Empire Total war/Napoleon total war right now. Atleast i can get my Strategy game fix. I have already deleted BF 3 from my computer.

I stopped playing BF 3, b/c its not a good judge to get me ready for PS 2. All i find myself doing in BF3 is spamming the Q button and shooting at triangles. BAD habit to have.

No, I'm quite the opposite actually. I've been playing a lot of Planetside 1 recently. A lot more than I usually do, and it's left me somewhat saddened. I know PS2 isn't going to be anything like PS1, a game I've been playing for years and continued to play. I'm left really saddened and depressed that PS2 isn't going to be like PS1, but I'm still optimistic for the game and hope it isn't completely awful.

does anyone else feel the same way?

Definitely. I sit there at my computer and think 'what do I want to play?' I know exactly what I want to play but I can't play it so I have to settle for TF2 and then I end up getting pissed off at something and stop playing and think 'ugh. still a good three days or so...I need something to do until then'.

I've lost so much hope in all facets of gaming and to see Planetside 2 is a refreshing possibility.

I'm amazed I missed the first one.

I don't have a gaming life anymore. My gaming life is playing whats good, which is almost only whats old, which means I'm getting sick of my hobby. Thats not good.

So like TC, I'm really only waiting for this. I'm doubtful, since I actually consider BF3 and COD4 to be the trash of gaming and this takes a few things from them, but I believe it can pull off something great with what it has.

Its not like there is anything better somewhere to wait for.

CoD4 was actually quite good considering it was their first shot at something new. BF3 is just awful, I can't even play it anymore.

But the first half of your post is me a lot of the time. There was a time when I was younger that I would read a gaming magazine and EVERY game looked interesting, I wanted to try them all. Now, as I've gotten older and the gaming community has been corrupted and the industry has gotten lazy I look at all the games coming and know that 95% of them will be shoddy and disappointing. Even worse for those of us on the PC side of things, constantly getting screwed over by the likes of Activision, EA, Ubisoft, etc. Not that there aren't good games anymore, we've had some awesome games over the past year but very few that I think will have serious longevity or that will be looked back on so fondly in the future.

I haven't really been able to game since I lost interest in BF2.There really is not anything of quality to play.

Day 378, still haven't slept, still thinking about Planetside 2.

[Vanath]

It takes a lot for a game to look good enough to kill all other games for me. Planetside 2 has accomplished that.

[Necronile]

I am feeling the same way right now...
although I had the same feeling for guild wars 2 a year ago
I lost all my excitment to the game,I hope it wont happen in PS2

[Salad Snake]

Can't play anything anymore, I hope the beta invites for non-vets can happen soon, or I'll go nuts.

On that note, how will spotting work in this game? How much info do allies see about the enemy you spotted, and for how long?

I'm driving my wife absolutely insane, just moping around the house trying to find things to distract myself with while I wait for a beta invite.

[Fanglord]

They should just let anyone one this forum over the noobie rank in. *wink wink :P

[Creezey]

It terms of FPS shooters, yeah.. I can't play anything right now without a part of me wishing it was the PS2 CB.

On the other hand, I recently got interested in a study sim: DCS A10. That and its 680 page manual will keep me busy until I'm brought into beta. No game experience will make me feel quite like I feel when I light a target up with the 30mm GAU-8.

TF2 is five years old now, and it is still the best MP FPS on the market. Everything else is broken at a technical level. It is one thing for these games to sell well, but I don't understand how buggy, unbalanced garage can get scores higher than 7s let alone 9s.

But I am enjoying Skyrim. I still hate the combat, but the vistas in that game sure look great on GTX 670.

[Pepsi]

I wish I had that feeling

[RSphil]

No fps can take away the need for planetside 2. I will be playin guild wars 2 in about 18 days though so that will take my mind off it until I get my hands on ps2
