I have spent a lot of time playing first person shooters such as Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War 2 and Halo 3. During this time, I played my heart out for hours and hours, just to receive a silly rank, icon or level pin. To an outsider, that pin is pointless, but to us it means that the world is right and everything that I have been working for has paid off. I now can wear with pride our new badge of honor. Right? Well that was the original intention, but Boosters ruin this for all of us. What is their reason behind boosting if it doesn’t increase their skill in any way? All they seem to get out of it is an intimidating number or symbol next to their name that they aren’t even able to play to the level of. In my opinion they are setting themselves up to be taunted as they enter games and humiliate themselves with their awful performance. We have all entered a game, saw that a team mate of ours has a high rank and felt a sense of security having them on our team. When they let us down and we realize that they in fact never earned that rank in the first place, we feel obligated to give them the well deserved tongue lashing stating how disappointed we are in their decision to boost.
Chance Glasco, one of the co-founders of Infinity Ward and creators of the Call of Duty franchise, has claimed that Activision once pressured the studio to include an invasion of Israel by Iran.
Licensing issues often leave many games forgotten. But all that aside, here are 10 classic games desperate for remasters.
The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.
Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.
i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately
One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons
Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
The Black Ops series has featured some of the best and classic multiplayer maps in the Call of Duty franchise, and here's the top of them.
Stupid trophies and achievements
e.g
Farcry 2 - Warlord & Soldier Of Misfortune
KZ2 - Valor Citation
etc etc,
some of us enjoy getting the trophies/achievements in games, but we also have very busy lives to contend with as well.
i really don't care for achievements or trophies..
when i unlock them...im like "oh cool" but i don't play the games specifically for that reason...dunno.
i know some people do play for them..but eh..
iv yet to get a platinum trophy
I cheated on tests several times in school to pass. I guess thats the same. Some of us just don't have integrity. Like all the fat people who take diet pills/have surgery instead of eating right and exercising. Who wants to work for something? We're Americans. We want it NOW and fast.
"I have spent a lot of time playing first person shooters such as Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War 2"
oh I didn't know Gears of War 2 was a FPS, I played it in TPS mode.
There is nothing more I hate than online trophies/achievements.....why do they exist anyway?? They usually ruin the fun for a person like myself. Like, Kill 10,000 player or win 1000 matches in Chronicles of Riddick. I don't have the time to sit down and play more than 1000 matches for this...It's just ruining the fun. Trophies/achievements should be offline only.
As for boosters, it is okay if you are after achievements/trophies that are like impossible to get. Far Cry 2's Warlord is a perfect example. If you are after the Warlord achievement/trophy and you are not boosting, GOD HELP YOU. I hate boosters when all their goal is to rank up quickly and be head of leaderboards...no skill.
