alot of these threads have popped up at diferrent forums so i thought i'd start 1.2004 was a great year for gaming,maybe the best ever so heres my list for my games of 2004,you dont have to include every game you got this year or games that were released this year just what was a real highlight,also include disappointments if you like,spoilers too if you like and games you still hope to get this year neway ill start:
no particular order:
Mafia :yes released over 2 years ago but i only got it this year in a 2 for 50 euro deal(got maxpayne2 also),what a game,wonderful narrative that hooked you in from the moment you began,reeked of atmosphere and style,evolving characters,wonderful and sad ending,brill music and its a illusion software game
Thief 3 :while it disappointed many fans it still proved a very worthy sequel with another great story,the city hub coulda been better but added charm too,tweaking improved the gameplay,lvls like the cradle and overlook were experiences in themselves.
Far Cry :where'd this come from,completely stole the thunder from hl2 and doom3 by beating them all to the posts,best graphics ever imo :dozey: ,some of the biggest lvls in fps history and no bloody loadzones either,story and trigens sucked but non-linear environments and a new setting for fps made it excell.
Half-life2 duh?didnt have to live up to nething 4 me as i nvr played hl1 brilliant gp,graphics,atmosphere etc steam spoiled the whole thing somewhat and poor performance on my very capable sys but the ,how do i say,story progression was wonderful,atmospheric beginning then thrown into a mini civil war with wonderful lvl design,nuff said
Call of duty/uo :gr8 mp made up for the somewhat too inbelievable sp(chateau ne1? :sniper: ),the thing that makes it for me is the sound,nothing compares to the violent,loud sounds in this,best explosions,smoke effects in the biz,again gr8 mp,domination in particular.
Max payne 2 my 1st experience of havok in action was truly memorable,way too short but wonderfully designed and bt2 owned all,the best'cinematic'gameplay yet.the paranoia lvls were artistically impressive for a game.
Pro Evo 4 :best footie game evr,nuff said.
disappointments:
doom
steam
hitman:ct(terrible cashin)
sc2t(dido)
looking forward too:mgs3,v:bloodlines,
nxt year:stalker,fear,pariah,brothers in arms,battlefield 2
