I'm so glad I waited to unwrap mine. After all the negativity I was reading I said screw this, and returned it to Gamestop for a refund.
Activision is only hurting themselves though. Their 360 bias is shining brightly now, and the next installment will not sell on PS3. However, there are the idiots out there that will buy it and defend it no matter what.
I'm f***ing sick of COD... good riddance.
"oh and btw ... Forza 3 is still the definitive racer of this gen!! lol "
Says who? Metacritic?
* CLAP CLAP CLAP *
Couldn't have said it better. It's articles like this that make uneducated people think the game is a disappointment. Those who can think for themselves can form their own opinions.
Maybe GT5 isnt perfect- but if it follows the same formula as its predecessors, I will love it. I pick up my copy later today.
Well, GT5 should have at least been nominated under "Most Anticipated" then. Gears 3 was, and it comes out in 2011. Nothing in the history of gaming has been more anticipated than GT5.... my God, it's been in development for 5 years.

Unless it takes 2 months to stamp discs and package them, we should be good to go for the holidays.
You just got reported for trolling on your own article.
Why is it sad? Microsoft paid $50 million for it. Sony wisely said ok, we'll get it later. And they did, by the way. Nice knowledge of the industry there pal.
And you're right... I can't see your bias at all...

"Oh thank you MS, can I have more please?"
lol... MS just keeps ramming it in harder, and xbox owners just keep taking it with a smile on their face.
Some nice changes, but upgrades shouldn't cost extra. The price should be dropping for this service FIVE years into the console's life cycle. They've made their billions on it. But no, they just get greedier, and the fans are A-ok with it.
Unbelievable.
"Oprah is on board…so is The Ellen Show. In fact, so many different celebrities from Ashley Tisdale to Justin Bieber are in the mix"
Of course they are on board... where do you think the 500 million is going? Once they have their paycheck, they won't touch the thing again. Well, maybe Oprah will... afterall it has like a dozen fitness games.
Have you played the game?
They were all non-prestige low levels. This is fixed. No question about it. The game has been out long enough that there is no way you get into a match with this many noob players. Only one other player on his team was prestige, and the only 3 that showed for the other team were first playthrough, highest rank 40. If he's proud of setting up a match to get a quick nuke, that is truly pathetic. Look at 1:50 of the vid. Nuff said. What a loser.
MS will slash the price down to like $199. I guarantee it. They would rather eat a loss than surrender 2nd place to Sony.
What the hell are you talking about? E&D made 1.8 mil for the quarter- not 382. Where are you getting that figure?
Quoted straight from the article:
"Net income came in at $5.4 billion which is an increase of 59 percent over 2009, with the Entertainment and Devices Division (includes Xbox 360) reporting revenue of $1.8 million for the quarter compared to $1.4 million the year prior."
Why are you so mad?
When some moron writes an article with a bold title, then provides no valid reasoning behind his claim, people are going to criticize it.
My opinion is that Kinect will fail badly, and I wonder if Americana will save this lame attempt by MS at breaking into the casual market as it's saved it's defective POS system over and over. MADE IN AMERICA!!! Wooo. Actually its probably manufactured in Taiwan or China or something, but M...
Oh wait, was that article supposed to be serious?
Honestly, Sony could come out with the Dual Shock 17 and I wouldn't give a rats ass, as long as the games I'm seeing on the screen are meeting the standards of the current generation.
If I want to get off the couch and play basketball, I'll GO PLAY BASKETBALL!! Videogames are for couch potatoes, and that's the way I'll always look at it. The only thing they could come up with that I w...
Microsoft = Communist China .... or so it would seem. The alarming thing to me was them making Destructoid take down criticisms of their commercials. What the hell happened to free speech?
What the hell was that? His comment is taken slightly out of fucking context with that title. Flamebait if I ever saw it... who approves this filth? He was saying Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, etc blows the doors off from a combat simulation perspective, which was not what GoW was trying to acheive.
After 2 weeks = fail.
However, they did say something that stuck with me.
"fun can't simply be added in a patch"
I couldn't even tell that was gameplay. They may as well have filmed an actual driver... wow, I cannot wait for this!!!
@ gamingdroid
I'm not saying they intentionally went "let's make a bad game because we need to show support for 360". I'm saying they didn't take the time to make the PS3 what it should have been because they knew it would sell 4-5 million with little effort. All I'm saying is that the PS3 owners won't be fooled next time. It doesn't really matter to me though. I'm done with COD. I will not miss it.
