He's wrong if he thinks the masses are yearning for something different. If they don't buy Call of Duty they'll buy something similar with an easy learning curve and quick gratification. I prefer the more sim oriented approach but I'm in the minority.

Its funny in the world of gaming casual massively out number the core =/ and have a huge influence on what 'was a core game'

MysticStrummer4769d ago

Exactly. It's no coincidence that games have gotten shorter and easier this generation. It could be argued that development costs contribute to shorter games, but that doesn't explain why Normal feels like Easy now.

GodofwarGoty4769d ago

thats like saying the wii fan boys will let the PS3 and Xbox fanboys Duke it out ( which would mean FIGHT TO THE DEATH)

Dart894769d ago

Which would then mean the wii comes in for the win knocking out whoever wins between those two lol.

GodofwarGoty4769d ago (Edited 4769d ago )

(lol Dart 89 you know your stuff) then out of no where the wii comes in and takes the final blow and wins the match cosole war is over Wii wins

MysticStrummer4769d ago

Sure... if you consider the Wii to be part of the conversation, which I don't. It's like a Speak and Spell compared to a couple of nice laptops.

GodofwarGoty4769d ago (Edited 4769d ago )

well thats the point of it no one would think the wii could beat a PS3 or Xbox thats why having the Wii take a cheap shot and win is the best Ending dont you think

I've never known a red river that is willing to step aside to let others have their fun.

"creative director Sion Lenton is not to worried about battling for top spot with the big boys"

thats probably for the best, the last flashpoint game was shit.

MysticStrummer4769d ago

I disagree. I had a great time with it and still play it. One of the few challenging FPSs of this generation on Normal difficulty. I can see why the Call of Duty crowd would hate it though. It's waaay too tough for those people. The UI did suck though.

bumnut4769d ago

Im not part of the cod crowd, I liked the original flashpoint but this game just did not work properly.

Raven_Nomad4769d ago

There is no fight between the franchises. It's like Mike Tyson versus Peter McMeely. COD is the champ and I don't see a true contender anywhere.

BeastlyRig4769d ago

To bad what you say is true..

But at least cod won't be the best game out just the most famous..

Some mediocre - crap games there. Couldn't even include any Codemasters racing games? It's the only thing they're good at.

Canadiangamernet3560d ago

Including the Dirt series in the bundle would have been awesome but i wouldn't say they are crappy games. I liked Overlord 1 & 2 and both Operation Flashpoint are decent FPS the other one are so so for me.

guitarded773560d ago

Like I said... crappy to mediocre. I liked Overlord too. Didn't care for Operation Flashpoint. But eve liking Overlord, I have no illusions that it isn't a mediocre game.

AntsPai3560d ago

Even though it's still technically a good deal, the whole $5 or £4 thing annoys me. Humble bundle doesn't do this. No thanks.

Operation Flashpoint: Red River - The Shooter That Could Have Been The Greatest

Mobile & Apps: "One of the most underrated shooters of the previous generation was Operating Flashpoint: Red River for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. With all its problems, I believe this is a game that is worth playing, however, it is not too hard to see why the game didn't quite kick off, as it should have."

I liked it, didn't quite finish it though. Maybe I will now.

Codj4118d ago

Loved this game, it was dumbed down from Dragon Rising but still an enjoyable game. Was still offputting to people looking for instant/non stop action

Theangrybogan4118d ago

Ha! Some colleagues and I are actually planning on hitting this one up tonight. Great game.
