RE: Black ops 2 Some kind of Future war game.
@Johnbox, Each to there own. and dont worry about rudeness, we all get rude if we are passionate about something, and well, we are all passionate about gaming in our own ways, you wait till you see me on a rant! i make crosshaw look "Stable"!
true, i will give Battlefeild that, it does still have some charachter, not as much as i like from a game (too many Hideo Kojima products and RPG's at fault there), but, certainly more than a coardboard cut out "marine" who is only differentiate from another because he has a moustache, or is african american, etc.
as for me, I'm not fussed on graphics, dont get me wrong, I love great graphics that are optimised for PC, but, i dont need them, if the gameplay is right, ill put up with bad graphics, after all, i still play a lot of old DOS games. to me, graphics is a case of "can i see what i am doing? yes? then they are good enough". sure, having awesome graphics is awesome, but its the cherry on the cake.
Personally, id love to play a game that say, had Cryengine 3 (i will admit, its the best out there, and probably will be well into the next gen as even Crytek says "the current PC's mean we can only scratch CE3's surface") for graphics but had gameplay more in the mould of say, the first Half Life. but, until the games idustry either wakes up to the fact the modern shooter is going to make it collapse, or it actually does collapse from over exposure to the genre, thats a long way off.
each to there own, i never play MP, as 1, too many trolls, (i literally do have a nervous breakdown, i cant cope with them) and 2, i grew up with shooters that were pretty much biased totally towards SP such as Wolfenstein 3d, DOOM, Duke Nukem 3d, Rise of The Triad, BLOOD, etc. games that although they did have MP, it was often an afterthaught, rather than the whole reason for the games existance, as it is with modern shooters, wich has sadly lead to SP being no more than a Tutorial.
i quess im just too died in the wool. i find modern shooters either unplayable due to the dynamic scaling, or Far too easy (if they dont have it) due to all the hand holding (wich i find patronising in the extreme! i like to read the manual, i dont need telling what Return does...every...single...time...) and the Regen Health, and thus, Extremely Boring, i am afraid i prefer straight up classic and pseudo modern shooters. ah well, each to there own.
