Activision Blizzard to raise RRP price of their games immensely during Holiday season.

Postby James » Thu Jul 16, 09 10:36 pm

Remember when Far Cry 2 and Prince of Persia was £40?, say hello to Advanced Warefare 2 being £57 and other games published by greedy giants are sure to follow suit. Far too cruel for such a time, this is even more of a robbery than Left 4 Dead 2 is going to be.

EA are countering them by keeping their RRP the same this year.

Fuck
Activision
Blizzard
in
the
fucking
dick

I'm going to get angry at anyone stupid enough to pay that much for Advanced Warfare 2 regardless if it is a good game.

Stupid.

Unreal Tournament isn't THAT great. But I'm just pissed off that all the single-player games suck ass and there's too many multi-player crap.

Maybe because you care a lot about single-player. but imo, i don't like play against a stupid AI xD

Meh, it's personal preference. I don't mind multi-player but the idea of killing random players over and over again is just painstakingly boring. Sure, artificial intelligence is just that; artificial. But I like good storylines.

Veteran mode on CoD4 was only hard because they didn't think the AI would throw grenade after grenade.

They have been getting better, but still. Surprising. I guess something changed at EA. Maybe they'll stop making annual sports games and start patching their shit too now.

The Collector Edition is even more hilarious. 150 dollars to trick some idiot into getting the included Night Vision Goggles- This exhilarates me.
Speaking from personal experience and use, 500 dollars will get you an average pair of Night Vision Goggles. For real good ones, it's over one thousand.
I'm really curious to see what kind of garbage they'll put in that collector edition.

Know what had a good collector edition? Clear Sky. I bought it and was absolutely satisfied from the thing. A bandana, a glowball "artifact" thing, a map, a poster, a dogtag and a GODDAMN ZIPPO. Hell if i was satisfied from the thing.

I am not for pirating, but if this turns out to be like WaW and actually costs 80 dollars, fuck them.

The respawn is one of the things that pisses me off most. And WaW is bad for a reason: it makes you notice it even more.

I hate how the way enemies work is pretty much based on a costant spawning and stop spawning if the main character doesn't move. It's stupid as fuck. You stop, and everything calms down.

And in CoD your objective isn't taking them down. No. Well it kinda is, but if you find some way to exploit it, you can win by going ahead. That pisses me off, a lot. If you gain ground and go forward, eventually your allies will take down everyone else. Yeah. The allies. 3-4 guys that will always follow and will get up after they get a bullet in the stomach and say "Hey, what are you suprised about" and the rest is useless cannon fodder who can't shoot for shit, rushes, and gets replaced in no time. Their names are kinda hilarious sometimes.

It wouldn't be hard. They should just get rid of the shit i mentioned. Set a number (a low number for hell's sake, enough 5 on 100 bullshit) of enemy spawns and allow your npc mates to SHOOT and stop TRYING TO HIDE IN PLAIN SIGHT.

Vietcong (which is still the best wargame to me) did it all bloody right, 6 years ago, why can't they.

Square [Enix] have made over a dozen final fantasy games for over 2 decades and they still can't stop characters from running like retards.
