Seriously, I've grown so damn cynical. I now expect the worst from everyone. This $70 future for "premium products" I see as an inevitability. A global, permanent price hike for high profile games. There's no use *****ing about it, it'll happen regardless of your standpoint on the matter. Resistance is futile. You've brought it upon yourselves you dumb basterds. But in no way am I innocent, I bought the Bad Company Gold Edition for ****s sake. But at least now I've seen the light. If you buy Modern Warfare 2 for "£55", you are the enemy. I will hunt you down and poke you in the eye. All 2 million of you...

As for the "issue" of Modern Warfare 2's quality, you all who for some reason want it to be bad are seriously delusional. Infinity Ward employs some talented ****ing individuals. The quality of Activision's games has never really been the issue. Which is what makes their practices that much more devious. I.e. they're succeeding. Due to the stranglehold of that one franchise, Activision is essentially directing the entire damn industry. Oh the humanity.

Tony Hawk Ride will be bad though. It looks like a dumb, desperate band-aid, and I think people will pick up on that. Also, it's not cheap.

Van Halen I don't expect to perform well in terms of sales considering its time of release and it competing with fivethousand other guitar games this year.

So that's the slight glimmer of hope I can see here.

Try paying more for your games than those across the pond in the first place and then have that smug **** Kotick tell you they're jacking up the price by 37.5% of the RRP for more or less all games (£40). In most cases you'll probably end up paying less really, you can find most new games for £35 at least quite easily. But no, Activision just couldn't help but raise the prices, good and honest family businesses like those are having a hard time surviving throughout this economic turmoil!

It probably won't matter to most people on this board, no offence to any Americans, but a lot of the time it can seem as though you're oblivious to other parts of the world, what with NPD being so important etc. But when you're shafted with prices in the first place and then shafted further, you feel the rage. If Activision get away with this crap then say hello to that rage as well, those of you that won't be affected by their price increases (i.e console gaming Americans), if Activision can get away with it then everybody else will more than likely follow suit.

Seriously, CoD is NOT that good, the only people who whole heartedly think it is some kind of messiah amongst shooters are the people who blank reality why they fixate their attention on the screen, anxious to level up some more, get some more +10's, another prestige. When you step away from CoD you quickly realize how it never really was that good, you were just obsessed with leveling up and unlocking new stuff, kind of like in WoW, another Activision product.

You get the point, I hope.

Aren't you doing the same thing by rating games? I mean come on, YOU might think Lego Star Wars is only an 8.1 but that's JUST YOUR OPINION MAN :cry::cry::cry:

STFU AND GROW UP

Basically, PC gamers don't want to pay 10 extra dollars so call of duty can raise pc gaming from the grave.
