This is a little bit like Pepsi saying one day they'll sell more than Coke. Might be a better product, people might like it more if they try it, but Coke will never be outsold...
I think there really are only two ways people play these games - you're either out to rack up the most kills or you're out to die as few times as possible.
Me, I like to die as few times as possible - sometimes that means camping, sometimes it doesn't. And I really don't have anything against camping. The only time I could complain about it is if it's being done in a cynical way, whatever that is, and you're never gonna know, are you? If that's how...
We need more gay characters in games, anything that pisses off the ignorant is good in my book. In fact, I'm all for only making video games that have gay black women in them - what a wonderful way to irritate every dickhead in a COD lobby ever!
Didn't take long for this one to turn into a fanboy yawnathon did it.
Classics? Pa, not a single mention of Knight Lord, Chuckie Egg, Combat, Attic Attack, and lots of other games that were born and died before the author of this piece was a twinkle...
So, anybody going to troll slap me?
What really sucks is that this isn't an actual put it on and wear it yourself costume - which is what I first thought when I read the headline.
going off topic a bit, can we all refer people to this moment of sniping the next time you see someone say: sites are paid to give games good reviews.
You, sir, are a dick of an unimaginable size.
@Dorwrath - you have large hands due to manual labour when younger? Er, you sure about that? Fingers don't have muscles, they're controlled completely by your tendons in your forearms. Nothing to do with this post, but if people are jumping on non-truths, thought I'd get in on the act. :)
I own a Wii. Apart from Kirby, I haven't bought a game for it for maybe a year, and amongst my friends I am the only one who still has his Wii. Everybody else got bored with it and flogged it within a year of ownership.
For whatever reason, when gamers are selling your console after less than a year of ownership, there's something wrong with the products being released.
Really, it comes down to no one who has been playing games for a long time actual...
Major shame, I thought Blur was one of the best racers since the 1st Wipeout.
Still, fingers crossed someone picks it up and gets running with it.
You sound like you don't know anything at all about the music industry. Are your favourite artists losing out? Oh yes.
How do I know, ten years in that industry. Big name artists aren't suffering, but the trickle down effect is horrendous. And who suffers the most? Indies.
I hear that.
Exactly! It's about money and marketing, not good product.
Sure, someone's got to get the game out there in the eye of the public, but do they really have a right to tell developers to change things in the game because it doesn't fit the demographic or appear to appeal to the target audience because they've done some market research?
Rubbish! Or are you saying marketing strategiest know you and all gamers so well they can predict what you wil...
what's really messing with the industry is the fact that it's not about good creativity anymore, it's about money. What major developer/publisher doesn't have a marketing team and a sales team that doesn't have a say on the creative side?
None.
And as soon as the people with no bottom line other than sales get involved, well, then it's game over for creatives.
This will only get worse...
Taking the biggest selling games as examples of piracy not damaging the industry is blind stupidity. Go way down the list of sales and then you see where developers are getting screwed by piracy.
And besides, piracy is theft. No matter what you say, you're stealing something that some people have spent years making. And for what? To save yourself some money. Well that's justified then.
Right, so the whole point of this huge comment list is that all of us, PC, PS3 and 360 owners, would like to see more than 24 players on one map at any one time.
Jeesh
Rage and Brink - i got hard thumbs just thinking about them!
Best XBLA game in years. Loved the fact that there was no levelling up, no better weapons, nothing but what you get when you start. A proper level playing field and maps that didn't get pwned by snipers after the first month.
