Notice the users from Europe have come to try to back up their 3rd world countries.

theKiller6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

1: Europe had the most wars in all continents if not then the second, it just that recently(last century) after WW2 they had enough of wars and started to be more diplomatic but i still think they r having many wars but invisible wars like with economy or food or power or tech etc, so they r not angels(am talking about western Europe governments)

2: not every country or continent was build by slaughtering an entire civilizations like the the European (American) did with the red Indians.

so all western countries have many red wet hands in their history and even till now somewhere and somehow in this world!! why do u think more than 50% of the planet wealthy is in the hand of 1% of the population??

Kid next time search and read before u say something stupid like this

Well I think the ps3 version will outsell the 360 just like fifa 09 did. Asda were doing WAW for £27.99. And the Ps3 version was selling like mad, I must of saw 10 people buy it in 10 mins, and most of them were buying 2+ copies ( I bought 3). I didnt see 1 360 version selling and there were loads of them stacked up on the desk.

Wow...It never ceases to amaze me how someone can look at 1 store in their area and assume that is the way it is happening everywhere else. I have got to ask though. Why were you standing there watching everybody buy their games? Do you really have nothing better to do?

DaTruth6069d ago

Almost all the Western European countries are only wealthy today because of everything they stole in the slaughter we call Africa. And it continues to this day, it's just under cover.

chasuk086068d ago

Yes thats how I like to spend my weekends, I wonder around asda analysing what people are buying.

Who cares which version is on top.

Anyway, I'm in the UK and got both 360 and PS3 versions :) (got friends on both Live and PSN)

Fishy Fingers6069d ago (Edited 6069d ago )

Impressed it managed to beat out WOW. Still, ASDA (supermarket) were selling COD for £27 new, since launch they haven't been able to keep up with demand.

Great game which I might pick up down the road, R2, Gears and L4D will keep me busy for the meantime and lets not forget that big shooter just a few months away now.

P4KY B6069d ago

I think i will go to ASDA for some 'lunch' today.

BattleAxe6069d ago

@ Fishy,

I like R2, but in my opinion, this game blows R2 out of the water. You should pick this one up sooner rather then later.

Side note: I finished R2, and the ending is crazy, but the multi player doesn't have nearly as much to offer as CoD: WaW.

xg-ei8ht6069d ago

£27 is a good price.

I will not pay £40+ for a game.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies431d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken431d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing69432d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker432d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing69432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt431d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken431d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal726d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85726d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77726d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10726d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1726d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC726d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt726d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24725d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic726d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg726d ago

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.

EvertonFC726d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron726d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC726d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils726d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz726d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!
