I think they confused best with best selling?

coolbeans4521d ago

That's one way to trample a site's opinion.

MsclMexican4521d ago

Meh.... the FPS games are getting kind of boring. Nothing really interests me in the genre anymore. There is only one FPS im very excited for and that is Bioshock Infinite....

I might by the new COD(probably that Iron wolf thing they talk about)....

If and only if it has zombies... thats the only selling point as to why I would ever buy a COD game

jetlian4521d ago

have zombies seeing as its treyarch

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4521d ago

Resistance 3 was my fav. Shame it didn't get nominated. But at least somebody gave Killzone 3 some respect. Seems like everyone forgot about that game.

IWentBrokeForGaming4521d ago

Resistance 3 I instantly quit playing after the corn fields near the VERY beginning... I just couldn't get into it. I actually had to force myself to get over 1/2 way through 2 as well. Resistance 1 was the only game to keep me glued in the franchise...

Killzone 3 was forgotten about pretty quickly as well. I definatley liked 2 way more. In 3 if I remember right, I quit playing after the jungles. I just couldn't stay interested in it either...

To someone they might have been good games, But personally I feel outside of visuals... damn near all the FPS's this year have been forgetable!

Sharingan_no_Kakashi4521d ago

Resistance 1 was my favorite as well but they're all good in their own rights. The whole "WW2 with aliens" theme was cool and I always wished they'd gone back to that theme.

As far as Killzone goes, 3 had a better campaign than 2 but the messed up the multiplayer a little.

BattleAxe4521d ago

Well personally I was bored with Killzone 3 after about 2 months. Guerrilla Games doesn't support their games very well. Once they release a game, you'll see 2 - 4 new maps released, then they move onto something new. They also didn't really have that much content in the game to begin with.

I thought Resistance 3 was awesome while I was playing the campaign, but I was super disappointed with the multiplayer. Resistance: FoM had a great single player campaign and average multiplayer, Resistance 2 had a mediocre single player campaign but it had an awesome multiplayer suite with 8 player co-op and 60 player matches along with great level design, the Resistance 3 gets a great single player campaign, but they completely nerfed the multiplayer. My opinion is that if a company can't get their game straight after 3 attempts, then I'm done with that series. The same goes for Killzone.

asbuwango4521d ago

Killzone 3 is a extremly dissapointed game IMHO
compared to Killzone 2, GG fixed some issues, but they messed up much more

rabidpancakeburglar4520d ago

This sums up my reaction (in a manner of speaking)

Dualshockers_Carlos4521d ago

I saw the reputable nominees...

My first reaction to the winner was a super over-dramatic laugh that was actually genuine, the victor of this contest is laughable. How can GT be serious? How is this selection justified? Please someone enlighten me.

Swiggins4521d ago

The series is still good, lots of people play it, it's multiplayer is addicting (though not quite to the level of BF3,) and It's Single player was a lot of fun (Unlike BF3).

....But also because Activision has really deep pockets.

Scuzzlebutt4521d ago

Typical main stream game "journalism", just reporting hype and not quality. Rage? Call of Battlefield 13? WTF is Resistance 3, the best FPS is many years? Lame.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

melons33d ago

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac33d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2332d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher48d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris48d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera47d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii47d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts47d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX47d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos47d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast47d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.
