People bitch at Activision for releasing Call of Duty's reworked each year.
EA/Bioware, Mass Effect 2 every second year, Dragon Age every second year. Rewrote games, nothing innovative only worse and worse user experience.
The real "yawn" lies at the price tag of repastered games. Why pay the full amount for the same game in new terrain? They don't develop anything new and use the same characters.
@HeavenlySnipes
Subjective. If God of War wasn't filled with Gore it wouldn't reach those metas at all. It's simply a cheap trick.
Like Homefront, North Korea vs North America, majority of purchases is undoubtfully made by U.S.A. citizens.
How can a single-player game get 8.8/10 if it has "shoddy AI". AI is the biggest part in Single-player, if it's bad, then how can you justify that score?
Looks terrible actually.
GoW = Cheap Game that survives on gore. Just like Crysis surives on graphics, bad games overall.
Looks like animated movies to me, more than close to life-like. Because you add enhanced lightning to PC games, doesn't make them life.like, especially terrain is still very poor across all games.
Graphics, Graphics, Graphics. It's all you can come up with.
Crysis 2 gameplay is sluggish and slowpaced. It's a rip-off of CoD & BF:BC.
"Spoiled" Explain?
Graphics was the only thing appealing about Crysis. Now they made a rip-off of MW2 & BF:BC2 & the graphics aren't really impressive.
@NathanExplosion:
Console sales don't make increased budget for PC titles. They make increased budget for console titles which get's ported directly to PC with one or two additional features.
Consoles ruin gaming, that's about it :)
So, who were all those hating on Activision for putting our CoD each year again?
Some say WoW is "nerdy".
Second Life is for those without a real life. I mean, seriously. Why the fuck are you playing a game that's about what you do everyday?
Stop lying - CryTek developed both the SP & the MP of Crysis 2.
If you played Crysis (The original pc exclusive) you would whine as hell over this poor excuse of a game.
See, this is where people are awfully wrong. Yes - bugs has existed for a very long time, even when I got my first PS game I found bugs, however, technology improves and bugs should not occur in todays products. Minor products are hard to find, but huge bugs such as the ones you saw with Black Ops is patethic. How can you release a game that is so freakingly badly optimized for PC, where the series originated from because you consolidized the shit out of your franchise?
The thing is, with a huge competitive industry, games should be better and better than their presucessors, atleast that's how the ideal business would be in any other industry. However, in the game industry, it seems that you can release a worse product than your previous and still sell better.
Black Ops really showed how clueless game developers can be today to get success. Hands down, Activision is the #1 publisher of all times. Creating such immense sales for CoD: BO is truly a feat.
When you play a game versus other people, you become competitive. Not competitive in terms of e-sport and the alike, but competitive as in you want to win. If you don't win, you want to improve, so that the next match you will have a better chance. That isn't "casual". Casual is when you enjoy a game without care if you win or not. I have not yet met a FPS gamer that didn't care if they won.
FPS gamers are hardcore. They are competitive. Especially the ...
There wasn't any "truth" revealing why games cost so much in this lousy article?
It's all whine from developers who are lazy and expects their games to be AAA retail blockbusters without effort.
When you release bug free products, you may start complaining about your consumers, untill then - Get a better education and learn to create games like the oldschoolers did.
Patethic article, reported.
Don't buy it. SSF was shit after the 1st game.
Brenda Brathwaite, the funny part is when they describee what she "has done" or "is doing". :D Who the hell is she.
People were warned beforehand about the lousy quality of CryTek. They ever only had graphics as a gamechanger, now they don't even have that :D
When you can stealth through an entire game, I just get sad eyes. Nice anti-stealth mechanism on your AI(which is the worst AI in the entire decade) CryTek.
