It would be nice to see Activision see a huge decrease in sales because of their lack of PS3 support. Probably won't matter, though.

lostinplace5577d ago

Activision is the devil of the gaming industry

TheLastGuardian5577d ago

$15 pricetag
It went to the Xbox first
I hate Black Ops, Activisioon and Treyarch
I won't be playing it once Killzone 3 comes out
I'm selling Black Ops so I can afford Killone 3

Killzone 3 isn't the only thing huting First Strikes sales.

norman295577d ago

Not devils, just pricks

BattleAxe5577d ago

I hope people take a stand this time around.

dangert125577d ago

COD fans are blind there is no way there missing out on more cod day one
Im a Kz fan and don't think a single COD touches killzone 2 i still prefer kz 2 to the three beta yeah its not perfect but it takes alot more skill then kz3
i mean the sniper has gone from one hit one kill to
how many hits and a rapider reload?

I will play kz3 online but im about its story since the demo got me mad excited then its back too kz 2 online until socom 4

PinchoVe5577d ago

I think you mean the STA rifle, which is a one shot rifle with a power scope, not a sniper. The VC32, on the other hand, is a one shot sniper rifle.

dangert125577d ago

I mean the fucking rifle that the scout has in killzone 2 the one the scout has in kz3 is not one shot one kill and is the sta rifle the sabetuer has in killzone 2 cause im not on about that

@danger

If you hit em in the head it is lol

I think MS's bribe makes up for any lost sales.

dangert125577d ago

thats a smart comment bubbles

PinchoVe5577d ago

im pretty sure it wont work, the income from the DLC will be huge, but i think it will send a message. I stopped playing BO ever since KZ3 Beta came out.

Even though there are issues entering games, once you are in there are absolutely no signs of lag and the gameplay is fun, frenetic, and brutal.

SuperbVillain5576d ago

It would be even better to see Activision see a huge decrease in sales because of Killzone 3 :)

" The question is, how many people from the PlayStation community still care about Call of Duty: Black Ops? "

Alot.. Unfortunatly.

UnwanteDreamz5577d ago

Yeah I notice that as well but when I look at these gamer's cards it is obvious what kind of gamer loves BO alot.

Most of the hardcore BO players I know only play shooters. I ask them if they tried Dead Space 2 or a game like Uncharted 2 and they just stare blankly.

SeanScythe5577d ago

COD requires little skill to rack up points. Just having a good kill streak will get you all you need. KZ on the other hand is not going to hold your hand and give you free kills just because you killed 5 people without dying.

The Meerkat5577d ago

Most of my friends won't play Halo for the same reason.
They can't get cheap kills.

I hope KZ3 sells 10 million and gives Activision a bloody nose.

Pixel_Enemy5577d ago

I love how in Killzone, it's not about YOUR K/D ratio. It's about you helping the team and what ever the mission is at the time. It is much more tactical and team based rather than.. RUN AND GUN EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF! Even in the objective based game types in COD no one works together.

f7897905577d ago

Definitely. I rarely see people charge as a team to the objective in COD. It happens all the time in Killzone.

NukaCola5577d ago (Edited 5577d ago )

What's worse is that is the mindset of COD players who transition to other games. Look at MAG. It took a while before people started working as a team. And COD kids who are new Battlefield players are the same way. People would run and gun, when they needed to work together. COD has taught people that it's OK to game selfishly, when in fact it isn't. But let them game that way. I like knowing I have a medic on my team, or hear a guy say "Frag Out" before I go into a room and fall to fratricide. Killzone 3 is going to be great. Battlefield 3 is going to great. Man I hope the AAA games in Nov. overshadow the next COD. It's ok to have a running game people enjoy, but COD never changes, and I am looking for something fresh.

trounbyfire5577d ago

i can't tell you how cool it is to see 4 or 5 people around you in assassination there to protect you.

or when you have to defend from explosive being planted and you see people actually trying to defend.

its great but BC2 has that as well.

XtremeHDGamer5577d ago

Only COD Map packs=Game Sharing FTW!!!

The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.

FPS_D3TH463d ago

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Knushwood Butt463d ago

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.

Abear21463d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

M_Prime463d ago

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils462d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg463d ago (Edited 463d ago )

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

jznrpg463d ago (Edited 463d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

There's too many games to choose from

No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head

PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.

FinalFantasyFanatic541d ago

30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.

Storm23541d ago

Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.

lockedongamer1541d ago (Edited 541d ago )

I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!

EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!

Chocoburger531d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.
