Tv add for now COD

^^ this just proves all my points above. you cant take critism at all, and the way you get around it is by trying to make everyone seem about 10.

oh how high and mighty of you.

It's because it's suggesting something you like might go away, therefore it's making you feel bad, therefore you feel the need to kick back at person making you feel bad somehow.

Exactly the same as someone posting 'Robin Reliants are dying I reckon' in a Robin Reliant thread. Kinda predictable response, that wouldn't have much to do with whether the Robin Reliant crowd actually was diminishing away or not ...


Don't blame you. If someone said 'your motorbike is rubbish compared to a Yamaha R1' it'd be the truth, but i'd still feel put down he'd said it so maybe think about some way of retorting .. :/

I think you're confused. PC gaming isnt dying, people looking for a reason to not buy any more parts and just get a console might like to think it is but as i've already mentioned, all the big titles are out on PC and many more so most people will just get frustrated at your attempt to scare monger when the evidence is exactly the opposite
 
Can’t remember the last time I watched a TV ad that advertised a video game. I tend to not watch a lot of TV, however think I remember seeing NFS Shift being advertised for PS3, Xbox360 and PSP yet no mention of PC, this was back in October last year.

I’m fairly sure publisher gets some revenue for advertising their games with logos of say xbox360 etc… I’ve seen advertisements in the past for games that were multi platform and only mentioned one system. Xbox360 has been known for this, advert ends with the spinning X logo and the xbox 360 boot up sound.

Truthfully, nobody cares about the PC gaming market anymore other then enthusiasts and hobbyist. You’re general joe blog isn’t waiting for a COD black ops ad to feature about how great the game is on PC. Nearly all serious PC gamers know about the game. Internet and word of mouth in the PC community is more then enough. Any decent PC gamer is well connected, advertisements like this aren’t needed.

Casual console players might not know about the game though, or know of it, but the advertisement tempts them further… And this is the market they are also aiming at.

I will however add a controversial statement. I’m sorry to say but the PC gaming market for AAA titles is ever changing, and you’re only chance of seeing “most” AAA titles on the PC is down to development for games consoles. They are driving the market, they are the most profitable. They are the target audience for publishers, and as such get the larger slice of the pie.

The PC market is downgrading IMO to indie and smaller developments, nearly all AAA titles for the PC are ports from consoles. Doesn’t mean PC is dead in the water.

Just changing..

Anyone who really plays PC games and has done since the early 90’s will know 1994 – 2003 was the best gaming years of the PC. So many great titles that pushed your system to the max.. Not anymore.

Anyhow, as I said, controversial. And IMO.

Nobody pays them to advertise it on PC, so they don't.

This is what I was going to stay. Apparently when you see an ad for a game on TV it can be the platform that the ad says the game appears on that pays.

For example, recent FIFA 11 ads have said "For Playstation 3" without mention of any other platform therefore Sony probably paid the bill.

I guess with PC either the company pays themselves or Microsoft does (For Windows 7? GFWL?) and since CoD sells very very well on consoles, they may have deemed it pointless to put "For PC."

Also, people that have PCs and game can use the internet and probably know its coming out.

Lol.
 
The console market has the largest share for casual gamers by far.
Casual gamers who watch all sorts of rubbish on tv will have seen the adverts and perhaps not realised there was a new COD coming out until then.

The more die-hard gamers would have course have known about the new release for a little while, and imho, the majority of those sort of gamers will be using pc's.

Lets face it, a mouse and keyboard is better then a pad for fps's!

I'm saying this is probably a pointless thread but not for the reason you posted above.


In fact, I wholeheartedly hope that CoD:MW77 dies a quick death, so that the devs can go:
"Oh man, that was a fail, just like the last one. :s Anyone remember when we made GOOD games, like CoD1 and CoD2?"
"Yeah! We should totally start doing that again!"



Let the console kiddies have CoD.

I don't doubt for one minute, that you, work for one of the most prestigious institutes in the world. Do you clean their toilets ? Just wondering at the amount of spelling mistakes and sentence construction that you have made. :D

I wondered that, but didn't voice the opinion - I thought he had enough bile and anger in his life already :p
