"The most addictive video games in pictures"
That's the title for fuck sake. Why introduce a completely made-up word instead of using the REAL WORD: Addictive.

ADDICTIVE you fucking imbecile. It's in the title right above your blurb!

jim2wheels4905d ago (Edited 4905d ago )

Bubble up for my favourite rant of the day!

But it does not surprise me at all. Online articles are filled with bad grammar and spelling mistakes.

Man, I hope my grammar holds up in this post...

Super-Brad4905d ago

What was the title that was submitted then? lol

darthv724905d ago

It happens I guess. We get wrapped up in what we want to say that we just dont see the error of our ways.

Anyway..OT. Addictive games to me are the puzzle ones. I was a tetris-aholic and later got strung out on Zuma. Peggle is my new drug of choice.

Sometimes the simplest of things can be so hard to put down. I try to keep my sanity by playing a round of Reach or a few chapters of God of War in between.

huzzaahh4905d ago

It really grinds my gears when people use "addicting" too.

Bubs fo' you.

vickers5004904d ago

Hmm, didn't know that "addicting" wasn't a word, but then again, I've never used it out loud or on a keyboard before.

The more you know, eh?

s8anicslayer4904d ago

EDHE, before you speak as if you write the english dictionary below you'll find a link to the word ADDICTING..so who's the Moron oops I mean Imbecile?

edhe4903d ago

I'll start on grammar next.

You are forewarned.

Kurt Russell4905d ago

hahah! Excellent kicking off!

Shame about the shit article.

Ducky4905d ago (Edited 4905d ago )

PC games too. Hell yes.

RedDead4905d ago

That's Cods' only real great point(I dunno if that's a good thing or bad), it's average other than it's addictiveness, sometimes i'm sitting there getting pwned thinking "why the Fu** am I playing this?" But I keep playing anyway.

Shackdaddy8364905d ago

I actually got bored within 2 days. Not addictive at all....

WoW is probably the most addictive game on that list. If you want to have a life then don't play WoW.

Dave13514905d ago

multiplayer is pretty addictive imo. only until you get enough "connection interrupteds" to make you go insane.

Shackdaddy8364905d ago (Edited 4905d ago )

Well, the best guns imo are in the middle of the unlock tree so once you unlock those then its just a bore fest. It is addictive for about the first half before you prestige but then it just becomes super generic because there is no reason to change your weapon.

Ducky4905d ago (Edited 4905d ago )

I tend to dislike the 'best' guns.

The mp44 was my favourite gun in CoD4 because it was one stubborn motherhubbard to shoot with. The only reason I go back to MW is to use the mp44.

Same goes in BlackOps, I prefer playing with the trickier guns. The SMGs are quite fun and so far enjoying the Stakeout. =)

Playing different game-modes also goes a long way in making the game more enjoyable. I know some people that haven't set foot outside TDM/FFA.

huzzaahh4905d ago

In proper, non-American English, we use "s" instead of "z". The world doesn't revolve around you, American.

It is a mistake because the game's actual name is "Civilization" but it's an understandable mistake.

Qdog4905d ago

While I am not one to instigate or disrespect anyone based on opinion, whats going on with the forceful anti-American statement? In fact I'd like to know why you think the poster resides in America to begin with? Am I right in assuming that you have indeed lumped all Americans into one classifiable category, predictable and worthy of insult? That would imply that you lack room to talk.

chak_4905d ago

not that I disagree, but checking his profile you can see he lives in oklahoma

erm

Qdog4905d ago

One rarely takes the time to research when unceremoniously judging at face value.

huzzaahh4904d ago

I can't stand the ignorance of some people. Americans generally (and I know enough Americans to have some say) think that they have the best way of doing things and that their way is the only right way of doing those things.

The fact that Simco876 hasn't realized that things are different in the rest of the world (specifically common spelling differences) annoys me.

I'm not anti-American, I'm anti-ignorance, and the majority of ignorant people I've met have been American.

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack19h ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville13m ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack13h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai10h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos53m ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos54m ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

LostPotato18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack13h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57942h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno52m ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville10m ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Helldivers 2 Star Wars Mod Looks Pretty Insane

Star Wars is coming to Helldivers 2, unofficially that is, as a new mod revamps in-game models and sends players to a galaxy far, far, away.

thejigisup4h ago

To you. What makes them interesting?

repsahj2h ago

This is the reason they cancel the psn link.

Would It Have Even Mattered If Redfall Were Good?

Even if Redfall were a good game, the closure of Hi-Fi Rush proves even that doesn't matter in the industry.

Profchaos6h ago

Yeah it would have mattered especially since their huge game that year wasn't all that it was cracked up to be remember redfail was almost heavily promoted and hyped not to the level of starfield but still more promoted than the average game.

There was still a decent marketing campaign behind the game I'm sure millions were spent advertising it on websites and I saw a few billboards and bus stop signs in real life

jwillj2k46h ago

No it wouldn’t matter it wouldn’t bring in enough profit to offset their 100 billion dollar acquisition. It would maybe delay the inevitable by some months.

CrimsonWing695h ago

I would f*cking think so. Good games are what draws people to your platform. It’s why I adored the 360 era with Gears of War being one of the highlights for me. You make sh*t games and it just makes your platform that much worse and you start gobbling up studios I like and then killing them off it also makes me hate your platform as well… just sayin’

franwex5h ago

Unless the game would’ve been War Zone, or Fortnite level. No. Maybe even Hell divers 2 I doubt would’ve been enough.

Exvalos5h ago

No it would not have, the ABK deal was great for Microsoft but horrible for Xbox. Over 100 billion dollars in acquisitions. That money has to be made back. That ABK deal essentially destroyed Xbox as we know it.
