I vote TSW, not that GW2 would be crap or nothing, i've just had enough of medieval fantasy, i bore at the sight of swords, elves and other "deep-fantasy" stuff.

As my sig says, currently walking around imperial fleet waiting on wz ques and wishing for beta access to TSW!

Well, How about a sleeper? Like Reckoning - the next game that company is making is supposadly a full blown MMO (With Reckoning as a kind of prelude- introduction to the game world) and if that team is doing an MMO, I would be excited. A Story driven action MMO? Kind of a cross between SWTOR and TERA. Written by the guy who made Drizzt and the desinger of Obliviion? Nerdgasming now...

I actually think the fact that Salvatore is working for them is a negative.  If you chained all of the Drzzt, Drrizt, Driztt, Drizztt, Dritzz, Drriztt, and Drizst characters I've met in MMORPGs together end to end, they wrap around the world 17 times :P

That's okay though, because the idea of an Elder Scrolls designer being involved in an MMORPG more than makes up for it.

I can't think of a hetero male who would complain about that.

You would think so, but AoC had the big bare melons and still tanked.  Melons alone are not enough!  (Sorry young men, but you will discover the truth to this statement in time).

Yeah, like..... personality and stuff, haha

I'm just happy to have lots of varied options coming out this year after the TOR-fail.  Between TERA, TSW, GW2, Archeage, etc I'm hoping that one of them sticks.  Right now my money's on Archeage or TSW, but time will tell!  After TOR I've learned to keep my expectations LOW! lol!

Tera will be the next I believe.

I Think Tera will surprise people a little i got a chance to play some korean version and its quiet fun even though i only played up to lvl 4 the mobs were diverse and crazy :D. I do admit people will call it a grinder and bitch about it being asian looking, oh and cant forget the over abundance of big melons being cover with strings and tissue. I think tera will hold a healthy sub number for a few years atleast till Archage hits.

every video i've seen of this game (TERA)  EU or Korean has been the same about the mobs, they definitely aren't dynamic. they were pretty standard mobs running up and smacking you or using ranged spells/attacks. Sure there's no targeting and that is exciting but the mobs ai could have a little work. GW2 mobs will change according to the number of players in the area doing the same things, they'll actually gain new abilities and react to the players. Now THAT's exciting!

MMO - TSW is the first of the bigger ones scheduled to release

non MMO - Bioshock infinite

Why are we all done hating on SWTOR and now we all need another game to start tearing apart after launch?  It seems most are done hating Rift and have moved on to SWTOR so ya maybe its time to line another game up in the haters cross hairs.  

It's just so easy though, if you hate WOW and 2 games come out pratically identical to WOW, the hate transfers nicely  ( i like SWTOR at <50 though)

I'm convinced that a "golden age" of modern western RPGs started last year with Deus Ex, The Witcher 2 and Skyrim, and is going to continue right on through 2012 with the next Bioshock, Mass Effect 3, whatever Skyrim expansions we get and Kingdoms of Amalur. The next really big blockbuster title, that will probably serve as a defining moment for the rest of the year, is probably ME3 though. The expectations for the storyline and gameplay are going to be enormous.

However, any of these titles are certainly going to dwarf any of these upcoming MMOs...

Ease down, Ripley.  You're just grinding metal.

Who says we're done with ripping that uninspired, unambitious title that is SWTOR?

As for the "next big game" I care little.  Nothing really is on my horizon within the next 6-7 months.  I have for my PC: BF3.  I have Skyrim.  I have Civ 4/5 and other good titles to resort to.  I also have Dark Souls on my PS3.  Other than Firaxis' "X-Com Enemy Unknown," which is still quite a ways off, nothing out there really catches my fancy, and MMORPGs are essentially dead to me.

~now where did i put my rose colored glasses at~

You seen to be a little off topic,  but thats ok.  we understand.

I don't care about "big" in the sense of popular much, but one (non-MMO) thing I'm looking forward to is X-Rebirth (Elite style space sim combined with empire building).

I might get it a few months after launch though, as the X-series tends to be released in a slightly unfinished state and gets patched up afterwards. Just like a typical MMO . So it might be 2013 until X-Rebirth lands on my PC.

I think roblox or minecraft is awesome
