production costs and making the game = 89m
bribery's/good review department budget = 60m
advertising = 350m
* it probably won't cost this much to make, but you get the idea. $15,000 has already been spent on getting the press to make gamers believe that the game could cost 500m to make.

I've not had many problems either. Though for many there is rubberbanding issues, hit count issues and lag problems. I think there are problems with lag compensation on many occasions, but people don't complain when they benefit from it. It does seem to me at times that who dies in a shootout is random. All in all though it has been a good game. I wouldn't pre-order BF5 though. I'll let others beta test it.
I don't think everyone is mate. Maybe a few folks online, and a few less than street wise nerds, but your general public won't care. These games have age certificates. They've probably SAW worse.
We need devs to step up to the plate and involve brutality etc. These things happen, and boundaries ought to be pushed.
I dont think people who had a dlc message at the end of a game are in a position to preach morales. Screw the poofery and make games please.
Thanks Moe, that's helpful.
Share factory is useful, with both gamer and developers benefiting. My only gripe is that i have to get a facebook account to upload footage, and i dont want one. Surely we shouldnt need to ?
It's my favourite game, but i don't see the point in buying it again, when i have all 3 on the 360. It's not a game where doing a HD version is going to make much of a difference. The price will be too high for me. The pc players can pick it up cheap, and yet were supposed to fork out top prices...no from me on this occasion....unless they had a new ending, and LOTS of new cool features, which is highly unlikely.
I don't really have much use for this upgrade, so i hope it doesn't take up too much space.
Ive been sitting here like a tit waiting to get this, and its not even out until tomorrow.
$1200 to look like a gay nazi, while people point their phones in your direction. No thanks.
She's entitled to her opinion. It's not my sort of game either.
The graphics are last gen, and the gameplay just look as if it is a bunch of ideas ripped of from other games, and glued together to make up this complete over hype. I will never understand why people liked Halo so much, and on that note i don't know what the big deal is about this.
Surely you dont need kinect for voice control ? All youd need is a small chip, at a small cost. The kinect is there for intrusive purposes. I dont care about the cost, i just dont want one. Many people dont want a corporation with eyes in their home.
Halo etc.. may have sold more when console sales were even(ish). Now that Sony have a decent console sales lead, Halo will not have the base to sell more, unless it's on the 360 also. XB1 exclusives will not beat ps4 exclusives whilst the gap in consoles sales exists.
Mass Effect games are my favourite, but i'm not buying this for next gen, when pc players will be able to buy them for a few quid. What will ps4 players be asked to pay in comparison to the 10 or 15 quid pc gamers can buy it for ?
I find Infamous, The last of us, Uncharted, Rime, Everybodys gone to the rapture and The Order to be more appealing at this stage than the Microsoft exlusives. If anyone finds xboxone exlusives more appealing, then fair play to them. They're entitled to do so. The xboxone will have some good games. I had a 360 myself, but i didn't bother with gears or halo, so i got a ps4.
I guess it depends on what you want from the game. I don't really care about career mode. I think that as there will be hundreds of courses to play, that maybe you will prefer playing new courses all of the time. The last golf game i bought was TW12, and i actually preferred just playing a one player. Career mode is too generic, and online people pressed the Y-button to speed their shot up, and the majority wanted to play on easy mode.
It certainly isn't just you. The game, just like Halo, doesn't look groundbreaking at all. Infact it looks as if it's using an outdated graphics engine, with a game based on ideas it has nicked from other games.
