M rated games seem to sell the most even though over 50% of the people who play them shouldn't be playing it in the first place. I think that a lot of devs push for an M rating just becuase playing an M rated game is "cool" amongst the younger teens. They see E and T rated games as childish which imo is wrong.

A good example is Halo. I don't recall much blood, language, or anything really bad. The story is simple and not something kids can't see. To this day, I still don't understand why it's rated M.

-Alpha5210d ago

Halo doesn't feel mature, but it still requires a recommended age of 17+

And since this isn't really important news I want to say that BFBC2 is going to tear a hole in MW2 and stomp it dry. This game is going to be the ultimate God-sent gift to all those COD players who have been shafted by IW's pathetic embrace of the casual market.

MiloGarret5210d ago

what yo didn't know is that it didn't just get a single M. It got several...

Mmmmmmmmm great game.

evrfighter5210d ago (Edited 5210d ago )

still havn't bought mw2...Though I play zero gear demo a lot

There was no way I could stop my younger brother from buying it on his 360 so I told him if he didn't buy it used he wasn't getting anymore games from me.

gamestop is $55 richer :)

will be pre-ordering the limited edition once it hits steam.

Well the beta didn't seem violent at all to me..I don't see heads blown off or limbs flying everywhere.

SprSynJn5210d ago

It's possibly because they overuse the "strong language" that is present. They did in the beta at least.

Anti-Fanboyer5210d ago

If that means limbs flying off.

ScoobyDrew5210d ago

ya but the second you hear some random guy scream "trash the f*****!!!" you know it'll be m haha

BaSeBaLlKiD7215210d ago

Most likely it was because of the blood. BC1 was rated T and didn't have blood at all.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga62d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics62d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend61d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long62d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons62d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor62d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5261d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60261d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor62d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B61d ago (Edited 61d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled136d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa136d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno135d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast135d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial135d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72400d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel400d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon399d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim399d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai400d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341400d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313400d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra399d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai399d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra399d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade399d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno400d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149400d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop399d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb399d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole400d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled400d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
