I have most consoles from atari til now and if these rumors (hopefully) are true this will be the first time that a console has lost my interest before it even releases. I don't care about kinect and if ms wants to keep trying to push it they better have an option for traditional controller use because they'll be alienating a lot of their fanbase. Always online isn't such a big deal because it's always online now. (for a fee) But if you CANTplay without a connection, then they...
I've had almost every console since Atari 2600. If these rumors (and I really hope they're rumors) are true, I won't be getting the next xbox. That makes me sad
A friend and I had this same conversation right after gow1 released. We settled on vin diesel at the time but now I don't really know.
I think the scorestreak system is better than killstreaks because it gives players who concentrate more on a support style a chance to earn rewards. I'm more of a support style player because my clan mates are the runner gunners. My buddies know they can count on me to take down most air support, sentrys, guardians, and any booby trap type things. I provide a crucial service to my team while they rack up the majority of our kill count and the scorestreak system over killstreak means I can...
I would like to know the definition of trolling. Because it seems that stating afact (33% of 360s failed) is considered trolling! Or is it that a bunch of 360 fanboys teamed up and got it removed because the truth hurts? I've owned a 360 from day one and after 4 rrod(that's right 4!) I still play it because it is a good console. But you fanboys who think ms can do no wrong are sadly mistaken. So go ahead and get this comment pulled too. Truth will set you free but first it'll piss...
While the 360 is a good console now, you need to knock 33% off of their sales numbers because rrod is counted in those numbers.
I was interested in this thing from the first rumor of it. Until they released the
price Why would anyone pay 1000 bux for this when you can build a pretty decent gaming pc cheaper? I don't want to play pc games on my tv that bad
How can anyone say its the same game!? Every cod has added something different and taken away things that didnt work out. It changes with every release. Whether its weapons,perks, killstreaks, and maps every one is different from the one before it. The single player campaign has also turned into a phenomenal storyline that I cant wait to see where it goes. You now have league play and more variety in the multiplayer games you choose. The only way its the same game is that its a shooter. If yo...
You all know there are 2 developers making their own call of duty game right? Infinity ward releases a new modern warfare every 2 years. Treyarch has the same schedule but staggered to release the year that modern warfare doesn't. Modern warfare and blackops or world at war break sales records every year. Not just video game sales records either. Any company involved in some form of entertainment media would kill for their numbers. Each new modern warfare is an improvement on the last on...
I personally don't troll and hate when others do it. Its ok to have a little trash talking before and after online matches but to just insult people for no reason other than "its amusing" is one of the biggest problems with the internet. People can say whatever they want with no repercussions that they're too spineless to say to your face. When you have nothing better to do than demean others for entertainment, how pathetic is your own life? We have laws that dont allow this...
I enjoy every system for different reasons but some of the rumors about the nextbox would definitely keep me from buying one if they turn out to be true. I don't care about kinect. I will never consider it more than a gimmicky add on just to show off what they can do with technology nowadays. Always online doesn't bother me much as I have a solid connection but a lot of people dont. The blocking used games rumor would be the dealbreaker for me because I cant afford to pay 60 bux for e...
I really don't think ms will block used games because of every reason stated in these comments. They may stand alone in the pay to play category but that's because someone has to support live and who better than the ones using it. But if they were to block used games I don't think they would make it to another gen. There are too many people who buy used games and rely on being able to buy used games. I buy most of my games used because I cant afford to pay full price for every gam...
Why should bf worry so much about toppling cod. They're both great franchises that appeal to their fanbase. Some players like bf and some players like cod. That's just the way it is. I play bf when I want a slower pace tactical game. I play cod when I want nerve wracking intensity. Imo the best blend of those 2 styles of play is rainbow 6. I dread the day one shooter is king of them all. I'd much rather have variety. Without it the shooter genre will stagnate into irrelevance. Loo...
The majority of my game library is used games for 2 main reasons. 1. I just cannot afford to buy every game I want to play brand new. I have every worthwhile console since the atari 2600 and still play all of them so you can imagine how ridiculously expensive it can get if I had to buy new every time. Not to mention impossible for my older systems. 2. Not every game is worth the day one or even one year later price they try to charge. Some games are worth 60 bux but the majority aren't. W...
This is actually a concern to me. Ive been gaming since atari was the go to home console. When the wii came out no "hardcore" gamers took it seriously but millions of people who never cared about gaming suddenly wanted to play games. I know a lot of people who dont own and never will own a traditional console but spend hours playing with their phones and tablets because gaming is now more accessible to them. Now I'm not saying the ouya will ever dethrone a major console but im s...
Id will deliver the goods on doom4. There aren't many game companies I trust implicitly. I can't wait for doom4. I don't even need multiplayer from them because their single player campaigns deliver enough for my 60 bux. Im happy playing cod and bf for my multiplayer thrills. I would like to see a solid multiplayer effort from them but I also dont wanna see a cod or bf clone. Hah! Doom a clone of other shooters?! Ironic isn't it?
I don't know why somebody who owns only a ps3 would be angry, but for people who own all platforms (me and the majority of my gamer friends) this is a real issue. I play across all platforms and xbox is the only one I have to pay extra to play features ive already paid for by buying the game. I love video games and will play until I cant anymore. But I have stopped paying for live and it bothers me that I can't even download extra content for some games without renewing. Xbox live sho...
I wish they would stop trying to cram this motion control crap down everyones throat. The wii brought in a bunch of people who never played games before because it was intuitive and I'll grudgingly admit fun for certain games. But hardcore gamers will always feel more comfortable with controllers, mice and keyboards. How many "core" games sold well on the wii? And if motion controls are so great, then why did nintendo go back to a more traditional (tablet excluded) controller?
Whoever gives me multiplayer without having to pay extra for it is who will get my money next-gen. Xbox, Sony, Valve (steambox) even PC doesn't matter. I got rid of xboxlive when they went to 60 bux a year and took a month away. (12 months+1 for 50 bux) remember those gold cards? Now my online multiplayer is confined to ps3 and pc. Ive been a gamer since atari 2600 and have (and still use) almost every system since then. My 360 has become the only system that collects dust.
What makes a video game any different from any other consumer product? If I buy something, it's mine. If I want to sell it that's my business. When I sold my honda the guy I sold it to didn't have to pay honda to operate it. You don't see auto makers whining about lost sales. Thats because there is and always be a new and used market for consumer products. Why should the video game market be any different? Because developers say they're losing sales? Gimme a break! People ...
