Seriously, what the hell are you disageeing with, I'm not making this stuff up.
I consider most of the comments on this article quite tame compared to usual so far, besides, what's wrong with having an opinion?
As for ignoring it, well that's a little difficult considering CoD seems to be everywhere and everyone has an opinion on it.
I can agree with your statement, but what does peak my interest is where are these 20 million people? Are these numbers true.
Let me explain. I have over 40 friends on my list and over the twelve months between MW2 and Blops there would be at least ten people a day playing MW2, sometimes there'd be fifteen or twenty. Now you'd be lucky to see two people at a time playing MW3, and I'm sure only four own it. That doesn't suggest an increase in sales at all. Clea...
I'm not so sure, their track record for reviving a dying series isn't exactly stellar. I get the impression they are in denial when it happens. Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, Spiderman, Transformers and to a lesser extent WoW springs to mind.
oo! you bitch.
I think developers should pay attention to what fans don't want more than what they do want.
All these developers knew nothing about coding once upon a time, were baffled by C++, Pascal, Cobol etc. Over time they learnt, through college, university, hobby or work, whichever it was they learnt and never complained. Yet suddenly it's too difficult for some (not all).
Poor excuse I think, especially after five years.
I'll agree with you there, although I would like to add that sports games in general are more often that not likely to appeal to people interested in those sports.
For example, I'm a fan of golf, motor racing, snooker and to a lesser extent football (soccer to some) so that's likely the type of games I'll consider. Fishing, basketball, ice hockey and horse racing I don't like so I'll be less interested and more likely to ignore.
On to...
I think most people will have a FIFA, Madden or a Tiger Woods sat on their shelf at home, which is where the problem lies. Why pay full price every year when you already have one? Although they do drop in price dramatically quite quick.
I can perfectly understand that the super fans are going to want new rosters, but most people aren't going to be swayed by minor updates. I'm talking sports games here, so don't start shouting CoD at me.
And the milking begins.
Both sides are guilty of it at one time or another.
I always seem to find that 360 diehards rant on about destroying everybody else in the sales numbers when there's usually very little difference.
I find it easier to let them have their fun and wear themselves out. In the meantime I'll go ahead and play games not financial reports.
More often than not I will buy new, very rarely day one. But there are times when I see a title cheap, used and on Ebay (I refuse to buy used at retail shops) that I never intended to purchase ever, but because it's cheap I think, ok I'll give it a go. This I've done on many occasions, now hear me out because I'll elaborate.
Two weeks ago I purchased Mass Effect 2 (PS3) used (I know, why have I waited this long? Strangely I wasn't interested.), cheap enoug...
What is funny is how they haven't revealed anything yet, let alone a title.
The title seems to be an over exaggeration, I didn't see anywhere near 10 epic kills.
We'll find out in two days. But I think I'll believe the E-mail I received from Sony.
There seems to be a common misconception on this site that the 360 has obliterated the PS3 in sales and that because of this Sony are a shadow of their former selves. In truth the sales gap between the two is near identical now than when the PS3 launched. So in essence those that believe Sony are doing badly this generation should also believe that Microsoft are doing the same.
I'll agree at this point that Microsoft increased their market share this time around, but it m...
Would be a shame to let it go to waste after 5 years.
Personally I'm interested in this title and if THQ goes the way of the Dodo I hope somebody else picks it up.
Made me chuckle slightly, I work in education in the UK and SEN is an acronym for Special Educational Needs.
Stupid? Really?
The iPhone is the most expensive mainstream phone on the market if you buy it outright and AppleTV, at least to me, seems a little pricey when it's competing with Cable and Satellite, not to mention all the other online services that are similar without the tiny £99 box.
You may not think that is a problem, and I respect your opinion, but many people would disagree I'm afraid, calling them stupid is a little ignorant in my opinio...
I liked it, looks like the stealth disagreer didn't
