My thoughts exactly.
I was also thinking of the movie G.I. Joe. Made lots of money. But it's crap.
synthetichopiumFeb 10, 2012
^^ or any 3d movie :P

indeed

Just because you suck at call of duty doesn't mean it's a bad game.

Just because you like the game/don't suck at it doesn't mean it's a good game.

So what is a good game in your opinion I'm just curious. If Call of Duty is such a bad game then why do so many people play it, why did so many people buy them ? The graphics have always been decent on them, the gameplay is perfect in my opinion, and the story has always been pretty good also, and multi-player is fun.

Only the year? Isn't each new CoD game the "highest selling game ever"?

What the hell, another delay? Give us Diablo III already!

I got in the Beta!!!! Loving the monk.

Sure, rub it in :(
Kidding. Enjoy, man. I want to get in so bad (no innuendo intended :P).

Lucky bugger! Just let us know where you live and how the lag is (sadly I opted out of any beta tests because all of them will be affected by lag and I'm just too far from the US to make any valuable contributions to any of their beta tests).

Can't believe how much money these games make. Movies and music really the poor relation
drunkrobotFeb 10, 2012
But keep it in context. Three out of four AAA games never earn any profits. And Activision and EA spend more on marketing and advertising for MW and BF than movie studios spend to create most movies. Music is a completely different animal which really can't be compared to games or movies.

Great for ATVI and it's shareholder. But bad for all non-FPS - shooter - multiplayer fans and the AAA industry in general. Because it ensures the large publishers will push for even more derivative, unoriginal shooter centric sequels across all genres for years to come.
deanbonneyFeb 10, 2012
Yeah, Call of Duty is the best game ever !
fonderplagueFeb 13, 2012
It shooore is!!!!

It should be interesting to see if they ever abandon the single player campaign and just release multiplayer. It seems that is the only thing people really play anyways.

Lack of single player has pretty much drove me away from commercial gaming.

Come on BF3 is much better IMO. I get bored with CoD. at least BF3 has vehicles and maps large enough to live for long enough to have a bad ass k/d ratio.
benjie25Feb 10, 2012
The BF3 games looks fun and reviews say it's fun, but most reviews also state the Origin is a deal breaker, no matter how good the game is.
ErikHaFeb 10, 2012
I'm talking about for the console. I'm a n00b.
benjie25Feb 10, 2012
Meh, nothing "noob" about consoles, just a different audience.
ErikHaFeb 10, 2012
Yeah, older! I love telling little prepubescent punks that I'm 34. Then when their moms are in the background I scream as many vile things as possible. I think I'm responsible for at least ten groundings from XBL.
