I was not one who disagreed with you, but stating your opinion as a "cold hard fact" doesn't make you look any more knowledgable.
And to answer the question put forth by the article, no I do not. The Call of Duty franchise, from what I have played of both 4 & 5, is a mediocre franchise at best. So many better shooting games out there right now and, with Bad Company 2 coming and Borderlands on the way, I have lost all interest in the series. Not to add insult to in...
I just purchased this game last week when it was $53.99, and now I see it for $49.99 today. >_<
"Yeah, but playing Killzone 2 is about as much fun as being bitten by a rattlesnake, so in the end nobody really cares. lol"
Really? That is exactly what I feel when playing the Call of Duty series. With Killzone 2 at least the characters move and groove with the terrain. Call of Duty characters always feel so plastered on and detached from their surroundings. You know, like a Hollywood movie.
I am surprised that kids would continue purchasing a system that failed on them that many times. I understand that if it were under warranty, but some of them go out and buy the better model instead. What are they thinking? I am not even sure I would buy another PS3 if mine were to fail me, much less 4 more of them.
Sony knows what they are doing with this. They know that not everyone wants to chat and/or hear people chatting while they are playing games. Having it sold separately is a very good idea and I hope they continue to do so, mainly for the reasons stated above.
Because they never replied to my simple question of what languages would be supported. For the last game it took them near 3 months to respond.
I decided to go with Bad Company 2 long before this commotion every began. It's just a better series.
"Online issues at launch, including broken Friends list functionality"
That is a problem with many games lately, including Uncharted. I have been playing it online since it came out here and have had only one person show up on my list.
"Once you grow up and get a full-time legitimate job, you will realize that $10 is just pocket change."
That statement proves that you are not much of a "grown-up" yourself. When you have a family to support, and are on a tight budget, $10 is a big deal on something so frivolous as a game. Especially when that game looks to be just a rehash of a predecessor.
I doubt that Microsoft keeps every game server operational despite it not being played. Have they made a promise to their customers stating so? If not, then I wouldn't count on them not shutting down servers in the future.
I cannot recollect seeing any other game on the PS3 with this many perfect scores. I have yet to check out Metacritic mind you, but is it safe to assume it will be the highest rated? Regardless, I am patiently awaiting my copy to arrive.
I didn't enjoy it, because I had no clue as to what was going on. So yeah, it would be a bit foolish to bring a sequel to an audience that knows not of its prequel.
For a game that is supposed to sell more than its competitor, it sure doesn't look like it will.
Have obviously never played the first one. One of the best looking games on the PS3 in my opinion. And whether or not the sequel looks good or not, I will be getting it day one. I have no doubt it will look gorgeous though.
World at War has to be the worst shooter I have played in a long time. I am so disappointed in it that I have all but given up hope for that series. And no, I was not all that impressed with Modern Warfare after playing it for several months. At least Bad Company 2 is coming relatively soon.
"The demo is currently #1 out of the top 5 demo first-week downloads to date, and is on a trajectory to become the most downloaded demo on PSN, ever."
And well worth that title. I think they should have also included the average amount of players online at a time. Bet that would have surprised many. Now where is my copy?
I honestly do not know how someone can afford to spend money on more than one console, especially now that all three have games just pouring out of their vents. Many of my friends seem to have at least two, and yet must save up for their families. Wasting money on a gaming system is one argument, but wasting it on two or more is another. I think you made a good choice by committing to one.
Thank you for keeping the PS3 demographic from being solely gun nuts and ADD patients.
"It's only a wedding"?
How old are you?
"This game pisses all over MW2"
Now let's hope the general audience sees it that way. Christ, why all the love for a mediocre series? Goes beyond my comprehension.
