I don’t know if you guys like me noticed, that in the past 2 years 90% of games have turned to ****, like the devs don’t care anymore, and guess where it all started.
Yes you got it, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, it effectively showed the devs of most games that even if the game is broken and **** it’ll still sell and they dont even have to fix it either, hell in the black ops menu where you get all the world stats like 4,000,0000 tonnes of c4 was detonated, the game tells you Multiplayer is included for free with the game, so that leads me to think at some point they thought of charging us for it.
I personally think steam, valve and activision are the culprits of games turning to ****. Steam is a crappy system that bugs out mid game and can potentially ruin matches etc and the steam community are ****ing kids all trolling thier asses off.
Valve anti cheat, yea i think we all know that joke and the punchline is modern warfare 2 and any game after that, because steam/valve now seem to be considered a mark of excelence when selling a game and now were forced to deal with hackers on delayed bans who get upto 1 month of pissing us off before a ban is slapped on em, if ever.
You may have noticed a trend in my post, yea its the call of duty series, you know why dnt you?. well it’s because its the only decent game with a responsive control system, all other fps feel like im playing in warm honey, slow, laggy and generally unresponsive, like vsync is allways on. and it really annoys me that cod is the only worth while game thats fast paced enough, dont sit there and say battlefield or bad company is fast paced coz it ****ing well aint, takes 5 minutes to get from one end f the map to the other. Trust me i dislike having to sell my soul to activision everytime they resurect cod in some horrible necromancy based ritual every 12 months. im sick of it, but there’s bugger all else out there thats as tight and responsive.
Where did games like Unreal, Quake, CSS (cant believe i just endorsed that game), F.E.A.R combat, you remember, the kind of games that required mongoose like reflexes or a system full of drugs just to keep up with the pace, or is it all being dumbed down for those kids i get lumped with in any FPS i play who contribute nothing but filling the playing field with thier own bodies and handing a win to the enemy team.
In short im sick to death of the state of FPS gaming on the PC, but im sure as hell not gonna play on console, controllers don’t feel right, its like cutting glass with a hammer, wrong tool for the job. i’m not bashing the console guys, i tip my hat to ppl that can use a controller for fps games, ord knows i’ve tried but i cant do it without sitting there screaming “if i had a mouse and keyboard you’d all be dead” etc etc. each to his own i guess.
Im trying really really hard to like brink but im starting to loose the will and i think we all know Battlfield 3 will fail on an epic scale, no one will be able to run it above 640x480 coz its soooo good looking but it’ll be boring as hell on multiplayer because of map sizes, we know they wont change that or the battlefield fan boys will complain and rightly so, no game should have to change to try and attract others by alienating its allready dedicated fans.
I’m honestly at a loss here guys, im really getting tired of unfinished games getting progressively worse and worse. im sorry splash damage, you made a great game but it fell short on performance considering how it looks, the S.M.A.R.T is great, i cant fault it, its perfect in every way, but everything around it is loosing its lustre very quickly, i’ve defended this game alot and im starting to think all of these people must be right as so few are sticking up for it.
FPS gaming is dead, long live FPS gaming.
