Where the hell are even the remakes of classic games? Maybe it's just me but my memories of the 80's and 90's were of buying a new game nearly every month - and they were all different kinds of games. Arcade side-scrollers, strategy games, tactical wargames, flight simulation games, adventure games... Right now I'm so bored of having played the same freaking games for the last 5 years that I'm playing Roller Coaster Tycoon and Torchlight. I'm playing a little bit of CivII while waiting without a lot of hope for CivV (as in I haven't cared for Civ III or IV.) I've played all the WoW I care to and cancelled that account last year. I MIGHT still be playing City of Heroes but they f'd up thier own in-game community with the "Architect" update and I cancelled that account months ago.
I'd pay serious money for a decent - reasonably FAITHFUL - remake of Xcom. Hell, I'm playing the ORIGINAL on Steam. I'd kill to be able to play Descent/Descent2 again (tried but can't get it to work with a USB joystick from THIS century). I'd even play Panzer General. Not WELL but I enjoyed it anyway.
Sigh. It just seems like I'm waiting months - even years for new games that want to be the next industry-dominating blockbuster that end up being nothing NEW or uninteresting enough to get removed from my hard drive within a week after hardly being played.
Sigh x 2. Right now I feel like it'll be more fun and interesting to go do YARD WORK outside than to drudge through trying to scrape up a game worth playing. It probably is just me.
