New Games on the Horizon (the video game thread)

I played MW2 like it was going out of style, but I'm going back to Battlefield 3 when it comes out. COD just looks exactly the same, it's all about story in it and they aren't improving on previous versions anymore. Battlefield 3 wins for me because destructible environments are the thing that puts it over the top.

I got burned out on Black Ops a few months ago, tired of the same old, same old. COD needs to do something to shake things up, it's getting stale, though millions would probably disagree with me.

Switched over to Battlefield Bad Co 2 and have been loving life. BF3 is going to be insane. Vehicles, huge maps, and destructible environments = win.

I bought Battlefield Bad Company way before I ever got on the COD train, and I played it for a while and then forgot about it. Then MW2 came along and I got hooked on that. Got Black Ops for X-mas last year and I barely played it for a couple months.

Then I went back to Battlefield BC and that's been my fps of choice since. The combat is the same, if not better than COD, esp. with destructible buildings and such, the maps are better, there's more teamwork online and you get to drive cool vehicles, which will never happen online in COD. I'm sure we're in the minority here but Battlefield is constantly improving on itself whereas COD is content to keep throwing the same game out there, just set in different eras with different stories, and letting it sell like wildfire.

I can't wait for Uncharted 3, probably my favorite gaming franchise of all time.

It's funny how people complain about Madden being the same game every year with new rosters, but to me COD is more guilty of pumping out the same game every year with only minor additions/improvements. And then they pump you for even more $$ with the map packs! COD doesn't innovate because they don't have to I guess. They can just keep putting out the same game and people eat it up like crack.

I think BF3 could steal some of COD's thunder, it looks amazing. Plus it's dropping a month before MW3.

I bought the two map packs that came out for MW2. I remember sitting there thinking I spent 90 bucks total on a single game, and that I was completely retarded for doing it. I'll never do that again lol. For the hours I put into it, maybe that 90 bucks might've been worth it, but nowadays I just think about all the things I could've used that money for, like 4 months of a gym membership, or how that money could've been put towards my car maintenance, or just something better served. 90 for a game is not worth it.

Also anyone into old school style RPG's from the past like Zelda: A Link to the Past or Chrono Trigger who has an xbox or pc needs to do themselves a favor and download Bastion with a quickness.

Bastion for Xbox 360 - G4tv

Nice relaxing song.

I've never really been one to complain about a franchise putting out virtually the same game. If it aint broke dont fix it. I enjoy what Madden and COD have been doing over the years and they have kept me entertained.

RedskinRat, Skyrim looks awesome. definitely will be playing it.

as for cod4, thats my favorite game of all time. it just sucks to see the hackers in every public lobby, i wish they would take care of their product a little more as far as that goes. but i would bet my bottom dollar i could mop the floor with any of you in cod4 ^_^

So all of those unlimited sprint and games with infinite ammo were actual hackers not fun little things IW was doing to spice things up?
