basically 3 full games that I can potentially platinum. I think that'll get me to Lvl13.

You forget that once you get to level 12 it gets harder to get to the next level. I've been at level 12 for ages and I've got a lot since I first broke level 12.

Even platinums don't help that much.

There should be a new dinosaur horror survival game. Raptors are not meant to go down that easily.

If...and this is a big if, dedicated servers AND the max players is boosted back to good old 64 on PC for free. I will purchase this game new.

Else I'll buy it used a few weeks after release. I mostly buy multiplats for PS3 but I'm a PC gamer too. I just don't like how PC users (the legit ones anyway) are treated. Even old EA never did this. This news about making it "balanced" is bullshit if anyone can do it (I.E. lean, dev console).

I do want this game but Activision have succeeded in turning me off this game.

Hold on.

It was confirmed ages ago that dedicated servers are not going in the PC version period. The only way PC gamers will get them is if Activision do something stupid like selling it like DLC.

WaW wasn't that bad.

It was a generic WW2 shooter but it got more bad press than it deserved. The zombie mode was a welcome addition. In fact the online was a complete copy of CoD4 but with tanks and dogs.

MW2 has less content that WaW and it will get awards, high scoring reviews and sell a lot more more. There is no god.

MW2 Response Splurge

MW2 Response response

Really the single player is half of CoD4. I saw a stream and it reminds me of how goddamn short Mirror's Edge was.

The multiplayer does have some nice additions. I can't really fault the mutliplayer other than the nuke kill streak. It promotes campers and can ruin a good game. If it killed the other team but still continued the game then I would be a fantastic addition.

I probably pick it up used out of principle. I just don't agree with activision's AND IW's methods. Seriously they destroyed the PC version for no reason. Some of the things they come up don't even benefit them in anyway.

So far:

9v9 max players
No dedicated servers
No option to kick players
No dev console
"Special" features for PC include grapics settings, mouse support and text chat
No party chat for 360
100 MS mean "great" ping
No mod tools
Price hike
And to top it off calling their customers "Nerds" for objecting to their methods

There's a shit load of stuff but I'll link you to this interview

Everything in that shows you how much they're testing the waters to see how many idiots buy their product when they remove features that have been in PC games for 15 years.

Fair?

How would you feel if a multiplat game that was forced to have the same graphics as the Wii? There are also other things including controls.

PCs get more because they're capable of all these nice features where as consoles don't.

Rage by id games. Thought I was going to say MW2.

Luckily it isn't confirmed fully yet.

Fuck Modern Warfare 2 for starting a trend and an end to PC gaming. We may as go back to the stone age and shit in caves.

Ah fuck sticks.

Went out today. No post before I left, I assumed there was no post today. Just got back, still no post. I go out for a cigarette later and there's a letter saying I need to go to the post office to pay the customs charge on my demon souls.

I walked passed my local post office while I was out. I could have picked it up today if the post was earlier.

Still that is pretty damn quick for something that was shipped a couple of days ago.

Guess what Activision/IW have done now to MW2.

9v9 max players for PC. Are they trying to see how many people buy it even if you buttfuck the customer? P2P severs for PC too.

Seriously this is getting out of fucking order.

I played all of them, yes. MW1 was alright. Not as ground breaking as they say but it was a nice change from WW2. I played a shitload of MW1 on multiplayer.

I stand by my decision that MW2 isn't worth £45. Without Activision's fuck ups I would gladly purchase it for £40. It may be only £5 but I don't like the idea of games getting even more expensive.

You're using metacritic wrong. You go on the review sites that you trust. Meaning not IGN (7.5 for shovelware), Gamespot (bribed) or eurogamer (biased to get more hits on their site). Granted it's quite difficult to find a reliable review site but metacritic have a shit load of sites that you can use.

But MW2 is indeed the most overrated game out. 5 hour single player, exact same multiplayer with a slightly different skin, no dedicated servers for PC, DLC on day one and it costs more than the recommended retail price and will stay at that price for a good year. Christ the lowest I've seen CoD1 for new was on that steam sale last weekend. The worst case scenario is MW2 selling millions in the first week, Activision get even worse, other publishers follow their example and we continue to get fucked over.

How long did your Demon Souls take from shipping to delivery? Mines just shipped from videogameplus. I'm estimating at least a week.
