2012 - Do not buy titles

I very nearly bought Fifa13...until I realised that as I don't play much online, I would not get anything at all out of it over Fifa12. I am glad I did not click on the buy button.
 
I know right? Every single franchise has been ruined from my childhood except Street Fighter, Tekken, Max Payne, Pokemon, Hitman, Runescape and Gran Turismo.


I could go on...

All the decent games have either disappeared, been totally ruined or on the verge of it, so so annoying.


FEAR, that was a huge shame
Painkiller.....lack of money/ too many amateur mods
Duke Nukem...just crap
GRAW....had Good potential, but it was never quite right was it
Crysis.....struggling on
Borderlands....struggling on
far Cry..........struggling on
Bioshock.... yes ok it's different, but it's still a wee bit similar to the first two
 
More the fact that the mindless cloning, talentless developers and awful IP and complete destruction of the FPS genre is starting to make other developers follow suit in other games/genres in order to mass appeal to the mass (idiots) for bigger sales, gaming never used to be like that until CoD.

So far, this trend of selling to idiots for millions/billions of $ has almost ruined The Elder Scrolls, completely ruined Mass Effect, took a huge chunk out of Dragon Age 2, which may bury the franchise. It massively leads to little innovation all around from the big companies as they realise they just don't have to sink time, effort and money into innovation at all because there are so many thick people out there who don't want it.

This is just such a stupid stupid argument, even if partially right.
 
I think thats the trend for everything....not just games.

Movies are similar, as the big IP name sells and the quality doesnt have to be there as long as the visuals.

But im interested to see what people would want to change with COD say on the next edition? Because if they changed it too much youy would have equally as many people moaning.

Will be interesting to see what BF4 is like.

btw im not dissagreeing with you guys at all....just wondered why people hate it so much, as I dont really play it yet it seems popular on the figures side of things.

It's boring. It's popcorn gaming. Tells you what to do every step of the way, and punishes you when you deviate. On rail gaming, predictable, stereotypical, not really engaging.

It's a bit like Michael Bay versus Christopher Nolan.

Come to think of it, that would be a good Epic Rap Battle Of History....
 
COD doesn't influence other developers, because they realise the game is just as **** as we do, they definitely dont copy it, COD is just a side branch on the FPS family tree, it's the poisoned branch that needs a chain saw and while you're at it you can cut off BF3 too :cool:

COD/BF3 is just dumbed down linear squad based whatever and appeals to the ``great mass`` because the developers dont care if it's rubbish, they're after a quick buck only, therefore the game is lame and easy to play, it's not a pain in the arse like VEGAS 2 TERRORIST HUNT, now anyone that can play this very well definitely gets my admiration !!

therefore COD hasn't ruined other games.... at all, not even starting to, because other games are ruined because they dont realise what made their 1st game so good, so they try something else and screw it up.....e.g Far Cry 2 or FEAR 2

game developers ruin themselves only, it has nothing to do with the end user at all.

the only game i play that has definitely got better over the years is Serious Sam, all the rest are the same as, or slightly worst..... the same is good enough for me though, it has to be, because if i get fussy then there's nothing worth playing.

i.e it's pretty bloody obvious that Crysis 3 wont be that great, it'll be the same as the 2nd game wont it....... just add a few more plants and a bow and arrow

Just thank Kickstarter for pushing forward lesser known titles and getting the support from people who want to see smaller development come forth. A lot of those games would never have seen light other wise given the way big companies want to go.

Hitman Absolution is another case in point.

Yes and CAPS are justified!!!!!!!!:D
 
This thread stupid, I thought that we were going to see some real poor games like the 2012 Revelations game. But it turned into "I don't like it", this game so it must be avoided. BF3, Far Cry3?? come on.

Syndicate ; Had low expectations going in, and they managed to surprise me by making it worse.

I was the complete opposite! Loved the co-op.

The main one for me is NFS:MW. In the end I resisted the urge and didn't pick it up which really isn't like me.

Not because it is a bad game, but I knew that I just don't have enough time to play all the games I keep buying. So I was sensible and left it. I will pick it up in a sale in the future though.
