It's Sony what did everyone expect? This is the same company that hyped up backwards compatibility on the PS3 only to strip it away and force feed everyone remake after remake, but because people are so apathetic they end up accepting that it's just the way it is and so now everything is "paid" for.
Yes I realize this is Sonyland..aka N4G, but Sony has been sticking it to gamers for year honestly, they aren't the only ones to do so, but they are just as ...
BF3 did not sell 5 million in the first day, not even close. Reviewers don't jump for hype actually, they are paid to be objective.
If reviewers were swayed by hype then Haze wouldn't have been such an utter failure. I love it when people say "they rented MW3" and it's the same, that tells me right away they didn't play it all.
At least be honest about it, if BF3 were so great then people would have been playing that game instead o...
Ya, funny how nobody keeps their Wii with their other consoles huh? Guess I'm weird, I keep all my consoles hooked up and ready to use.
Nice! Really looking forward to it.
So I guess the rumors of Call Of Duty's death have been greatly exaggerated. Now we see that Battlefield 3 took away a big fat ZERO from the Call Of Duty pie.
Not only did MW3 do better then the previous, as is the trend, but it scored better then Battlefield 3 as well. Congratulations to them, I actually enjoy the atmosphere that comes from the midnight release of COD games.
Great to see this franchise continue it's upward climb. The sky is the lim...
Ya, embrace this XBLA title that is going to tie in directly to the standard retail disk based release of Alan Wake 2.
Modern Warfare 3 will be another title that beats Battlefield 3, so Battlefield 3 will continue it's downward spiral.
That's the thing with Call Of Duty titles, they last all year round, we have seen Black Ops on the best selling list all year, Battlefield 3 is already falling off the charts. The Call Of Duty games just have that staying power and are just plain ol' fun.
I think we will see some of the same old pathetic comments as excuses. "...
Believe it or not, every person who owns a Xbox 360 isn't out to get you or bad mouth a Sony made game. They are video games and we are all gamers, so try not to flatter yourself or start some sort of flame bait here.
There is always someone who can counter this, so it's best not to incite people.
It's a solid game for certain and those are pretty good numbers, especially when you consider only around 500k pre-orders were out for the game.
Sales don't mean GOTY man. There is a lot of competition and a lot of different places that give that award out. So far for me it's been Batman Arkham City.
If I were him I wouldn't even have given those Battlefield 3 trolls the time of day to warrant a response. Obviously all those negative reviews, especially the ones that went in right as the embargo lifted, weren't by people that actually bought the game, but rather were by people pissed off that MW3 is scoring better then Battlefield 3, which according to N4G "would never happen" and they are pissed because they buy into the BS propaganda that nothing was changed.

It's not getting crapped on in the least, Microsoft spent quite a bit of money locking up Alan Wake and 3 sequels. it was originally going to be a game on PS3, PC and Xbox 360, but Microsoft paid for the rights exclusively.
This isn't the direct sequel to Alan Wake, this is probably something along the lines of what Case Zero was for Dead Rising 2, something to bridge games together.
I wish people would quit trying to bad mouth Microsoft and Remedy, ...
Is it me, or are people flip flopping on how they feel about IGN when it suits them? Kind of hypocritical if you ask me/ Bethesda games are known for their issues at launch, I still ended up pre-ordering this game on the Xbox 360, I just hope it doesn't have the issues New Vegas had.
Zelda Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, New Super Mario Bro's, Smash Bro's, Metroid Prime Corruption and a slew of other games would like a word with you.
Exclusives are fine sometimes, but if you think they are what push consoles then you have fallen prey to ignorant fanboy propaganda.
Have you not seen the sales numbers on Xbox 360 for multiplatform titles? They bar far outsell any exclusives on any platform.
I dig Gears and Halo, but I would pick Skyrim, Arkham City, MW3 and Mass Effect over those any day of the week.
You are looking at Elite as simply a form of state tracking, it's not. You can get the stat tracking and things like that for the free edition of Elite.
I look at the paid version of Elite as a Season Pass, which is very common these days. People see the value in it. You get all the DLS included in the price. If you were to simply buy the map packs separately you'd end up paying more.
I bought the Hardened Edition, so it ended up being the better de...
I know this article is aimed at Call Of Duty, too bad Call Of Duty is on a 2 year development cycle, just like Uncharted and a ton of other games.
As for yearly games, mostly those are sports games and lately the sports games have been really good. Madden 12 was fantastic, 2k12 Basketball is fantastic, as was 2k11. Who cares what people spend their own money on? I know I sure as hell don't care.
It's sad that the people that are making those false COD user reviews are actual gamers. With things like that it gives us real gamers a bad name and it proves how far in the extreme idiot fanboys will go.
If anyone out there says MW3 is the same as COD4 or MW2, then you are ignorant as can be. Read any legit reviews and see how far from the truth it actually is. The animations, guns, game modes are all improved. They took out everything that people complained about, they...
I keep seeing this quality>quantity BS, what exactly constitutes quality? It's purely opinion. I guess you could go by review scores, in which case MW3 wins, sales wise of course MW3 wins, online players MW3 easily wins.
If you want to compare launches, Battlefield 3 had one of the worst launches on home consoles that I can remember, Xbox Live servers were down forever and that was just the start of the issues, MW3 has had no issues thus far.
So I gue...
Essentially COD Elite is a Season Pass, why do people not seem to understand this? Season Passes are the latest thing and I think it's a steal for everything you get with Elite.
People just want to find a reason to complain because it's Call Of Duty and N4G kiddo's are mad that the game is scoring better and selling far better then Battlefield 3.
How can people cheat on BF3? It's unchaeatable!
