These Shooters will Rape your Wallet In 2011 and 2012

Five months into 2011 and we’ve already been graced with first person shooter spectacles such as Killzone 3, Crysis 2, and Homefront. Now taking a look into the future, what can FPS fanatics get their hands on that will not only satisfy their need to kill virtual friends, but revolutionize the first person shooter genre as we know it.

waltyftm4728d ago

Deus Ex is a YES, The rest NO.

Foxgod4728d ago

Dues Ex is not a shooter tho.
Shooter = run shoot, run shoot, run shoot, repeat.

Dues ex is a first person RPG, a lot more happens in it then running and shooting.

Fishy Fingers4728d ago

You could say the same about ME2, but I still remember a lot of run shoot, run shoot...

Foxgod4728d ago (Edited 4728d ago )

ME2 is a third person RPG.
It had a lot more then run shoot, run shoot.

It had a lot of features not found in shooters, and since you claim to have played ME2, i wont have to explain myself.

MARKUS_MAX1MUS4728d ago

@Foxgod

alot less RPG elements than the 1st installment hence it sucking slightly.

Vherostar4728d ago

If anybody wants more than 2 off there then they play too many shooters lol. Battlefield for me nothing more.

NYC_Gamer4728d ago

Bioshock,will be the only fps from that list i'm buying

Joe29114728d ago

Possibly BF3 (depending on console gameplay) and MW3 (depending on quality of the game)

Vherostar4728d ago

MW3 will eb the same quality as previous games e.g. not even close to top shooters that have been released in last 3 years

Joe29114728d ago

And where are you getting that info from? Your a$$?

I'm not a CoD fanboy, I loved 4 and since then no CoD was ever as good. But I think its unfair to judge a game before anything has been released about it (other than a trailer and screenshot). For all we know it could be the biggest and best CoD to date. We simply don't know.

I don't understand why people feel they need to hate on it so much, just don't pick it up, and if it turns out to be good, jokes on you. I'll be waiting to see more before I make my mind up. Same goes for BF3 - I want console gameplay before making a preorder.

news4geeks4728d ago

Bioshock and Rage for me. Bioshock because it's something unique and doesn't feel like a straight up shooter and Rage because it's from ID. I can't not buy an ID shooter.

awiseman4728d ago

Wheres the love for Interstellar marines?

chadwarden4728d ago

hide yo wallet, hide yo credit card...and hide yo piggy bank cuz they rapin errybody out here.

mastiffchild4728d ago

I'm not sure I appreciate the way the word "rape" has been taken into gaming's everyday lexicon.It's a bit crass and not showing us as very clever people.

elite-shot4728d ago

loool maybe mastiffchild didn't get the reference

HeavenlySnipes4728d ago

should we tell, him? I don't want to do it...

Jpinter4728d ago

Dust 514 has an interesting concept of mixing the MMO space battles with the ground FPS warfare.

I'm also looking forward to Battlefield 3 as from what I've seen, the gameplay looks great. Especially if you're a PC owner! ;)

yog-sothot4728d ago

Deus Ex and Bioshock for me ! Even though I would not say these games are actual "shooters" (especially Deus Ex)

Battlefield 3 might be interesting too

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac15d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher29d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris29d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera29d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii29d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts29d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX28d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos29d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast29d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
