Want to get a lot of page hits to show your advertisers?
Just make a stupid and meaningless comparison between a multi platform game, make stupid criticisms and/or speculation about how a console is 'doomed', or give a popular game bad review scores and talk crap about it.
It's a decent enough game but it is highly over rated and given a lot of credit it doesn't deserve. It doesn't do anything that other FPS games don't do a lot better.
When EA runs around throwing money at people they universally called on it but all EA is doing is following the Microsoft business example that was in effect long before even Sony hit the console market.
What we saw from Microsoft is that they have enough money to throw around to get what they want and the ability to copy ideas from other people and somehow this makes them a "Winner".
Imagine you are walking one day and you are confronted by a very large and well trained person who can and does beat you senseless.
Then somebody cheerfully chirps in about why you should be afraid of person.
Thank you Captain Obvious.
So on one hand they flaunt 360 exclusives and on the other they want to steal exclusives from other consoles?
How about proposing trades instead?
Games are easier than they used to be but on the other hand a lot of the challenge in old games came from two things both related to the same thing: Limitation
First, the limitations on what you could do meant everything was fairly simplistic. What the player could do was usually limited to "Jump" and "Attack" and what the enemy could do was limited to usually just one or two moves that basically just involved "Move forward, Hit Player".
The graphics and intense action look great and all, but haven't we reached the point with first person shooters where graphics and intense action are just... Well, expected?
Back off for a moment and think about that video, what did you really see there that you haven't seen at least five or six times in another game already? If you answered "Absolutely Nothing", then you're correct.
Everything here has been done before. You need more than just lots of gunf...
You can take Warhammer Online off that list now since as of today it is no longer worth playing until a year or so after release and they actually patch in the rest of the game.
And you'll probably get the joy of paying for content that should have shipped with the game to start with.
Mythic stands as probably the only MMO maker in history that released an expansion that they then went back and intentionally did away with due to the complete catastrophe that it was.
And it hardly started or ended there, Dark Age of Camelot was a game Mythic was bound and determined to run in to the ground no matter what it took.
With the news they've cut four capitol cities and four classes, I see that in the days since they ruined DAoC they've learned precisely n...
You know what's getting really really old? Gaming websites that try to stir up controversy just to get page views. Need a bunch of quick hits on your website so your advertisers are happy? Just say something negative about a console, a popular game, or create a "This vs That" article.
Warcraft fans are a lot more concerned about what Blizzard has been doing for the last several years than they ever will be about Activision.
Square has been lazy for awhile now and releasing Chrono Trigger on the DS hardly makes them any more lazy. They've been basically cashing in on the popularity of their old franchises for awhile now instead of just releasing new games.
My experience with both free and pay to play Asian MMOs has not left me with a high opinion of them as they seem like even more of a grind than their American counter parts. It just seems to take a lot longer to do anything and whatever it is you are doing seems extremely tedious.
I've never played this one myself but the graphics and game play footage just put me in the mind of a few other games that LOOKED nice but didn't play that well.
As somebody famously said during the last console 'war' between PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube...
It's the GAMES you fools, the GAMES.
I don't like particularly like FPS games. It's probably because I remember this genre when it was new and I've long since gotten sick of "Another FPS game"...
But you know you've struck gold if you can get people who don't like FPS games in to your FPS... Bioshock was fantastic.
People who have 360s are buying PS3s are they? You might think that a person who owns a 360 likes to play video games or something and that perhaps another game console might eventually attract their attention when it has enough games they want to play.... Since, you know, they're gamers and all which is why they bought the 360 in the first place.
Videogamer.com: "Hey, we need a bunch of page hits lets do a graphical comparison between a game on two different consoles just to stir up some controversy and get some page hits."
There's a reason that Microsoft keeps snapping up every JRPG they can for the 360 and that reason is to keep the PS3 down in Japan as much as anything else.
EA has gotten blasted in recent years for its business practices but the truth of the matter all EA is doing is copying what Microsoft was doing for years and years even prior to the console war.
Microsoft has never been one to produce a product and let it compete against other products, allowing consumers to choose which one they like... They've always bullied and bought up everyone and everything and the result of that is that you get force fed things like Windows Vista and Win...
Why would you do that to your friends?
