Valve have caught up with EA on this front then...I think it's sad they dont give gamers the option to opt out of viewing the ads

WilliamRLBaker6941d ago

because they all would, I dont think any one would actually opt to see real time updating ad's that have the potential to take up any sort of resources of the comp and connection and be distracting during gameplay..

Bullseye6941d ago

However, the worst thing is people will still buy it just the same, despite being ignored over choice.I won't be buying this game, but then i do believe in exercising my choices, so i'll buy an alternative without advertising. STEAM is sh!te, down with STEAM!!!

You can simply paint over them in game anyway in CSS. :P I hope some ads get placed on destructable environments in the future. LoL Blow up them ads.

Krimson6941d ago

This is kind of brutal. I don't mind advertising in games when it blends in to the environment (such as putting a BK in a city of a racing game or something) but this just totally stands out and is an eye sore. Hopefully we can spray over top of these! :P

You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.

I keep jumping back into this.

The sheer number of player numbers, decades after release of the original CS is astounding. Its always over half a million!

The gunplay is on another level.

pellpell3033d ago

I am a big fan of the gunplay in this as well - creating that fairly easy to pick up but very hard to master element I look for in games

SolidStoner3033d ago

If you love shooters like CS GO, you must look into Rainbow Six Siege, more intelligent, squad based and tactical, with every choice having consequences - its really an FPS Chess game..

JEECE3033d ago

@SolidStoner

Playing Siege makes me ask one question - if I'm going to play a game of this style, why not play the best one: Counter-Strike?

While it's a great option for console only people, if you are already a CS player, there's no reason to take a step down. The microtransaction-encouraging progression alone takes it down a notch (locking powerful characters behind extremely high credit requirements).

Minimox163033d ago

It will be great to have it on new consoles! PS4/XBOX1/SW!

Gazondaily3033d ago

This is one game where you need keyboard and mouse support

Bretty3033d ago

I just couldn't get into it. I've tried so many times but I just suck at FPS games haha.
That said I do enjoy watching it pros play it from time to time.
