*Signs* I hate the fact that they milked GH into such a mainstream fad....
This topic is locked from further discussion.
but i love GH. cant wait for the new one. JUMP
whats wrong with giving me what i like. why does it bother you.
*Signs* for the same reason. They did the same with CoD. GodofBigMacsits no more milked that the MSG franchise
[QUOTE="GodofBigMacs"]*Signs* for the same reason. They did the same with CoD. doobie1975its no more milked that the MSG franchise
Yeah, because a new MGS comes out every year.... :roll:
I hate them for two main reasons:
They're so damn greedy they think it's okay to treat their UK customers like **** with prices of £55
They turned my brother and several of my friends into CoD addicted **** holes.
I don't like the direction they are taking their business. And they are whats killing gaming, not piracy, not the wii, not casuals, but greedy non-innovative or chance taking business practices that have them selling the same game year after year.
I'm more disappointed in the people who despite knowing this continue to put down their money. Its like as if these people enjoy being exploited...
why can't anybody be honest and just say they hate them because they threatened to quit making games for the ps3? before that happened nobody here had a problem with them then all of a sudden they are #1 on the sw hates hit parade
Why would anyone hate Activision for doing what most companies do? You know what the biggest problem is this gen? The complaining. Nobody does anything about the problem they just run to message boards and complain, but will still spend the money anyway.
After all, how could you miss out on Call of Guitar Hero on Duty 11 with the Tank peripheral?
Don't waste your energy hating Activision, just don't buy their products when they offend your sensiblities.They run a business. They are supposed to try and make money off of you.
I will admit though, Bobby K. is a bit of a: fill in deragatory term here.
While it's pretty clear every company out there is focused on getting the cash out of their costumers, at least most companies pretend to care about the people supporting their products/services... Activision seems to be the exception to this.
**** Craptivision!!

How is MGS in any way milked...?
They threatened to stop making games for PS3 unless Sony lowers price, they overprice their games (MW2 Prestige,DJ Hero, Tony Hawk), they milk GH and CoD, They raised the price of MW2, and many other reasons.

It's milked pretty much the same way any popular franchise is.They've made four games in a period of about 10 years... how is that milked?
I dont hate them but somethings about them are not right
1. They milked most of their titles
2. They have too many games based on movies (spiderman , x-men , ice age ...)
3. They said Ps3 is expensive , but their games are ecpensive too
4. They remind me of EA before 2008
you must not be keeping up with them then. ps3 was the first thing but now saying games should cost more and actually charging more for cod4mw2 and wanting to turn BL into a GH sequel come on its way more than one thingwhy can't anybody be honest and just say they hate them because they threatened to quit making games for the ps3? before that happened nobody here had a problem with them then all of a sudden they are #1 on the sw hates hit parade

A river rat vs a river wolf... who'll come out victorious?? :P
Anyway, Riverwolf... the hate for Actiision started slowly when they began to milk GH. Comments made this year just made it bigger and bigger.

I think youre forgetting about the remake for GC, the Metal Gear Solid 3 substistence, MGS 2 Substance, MGS Essential Trilogy, MGS PSP, The document of MGS 2, normal MGS 2, and etc. Shall I go on?

Portable Ops? Substance? Subsistence? Twin Snakes? You mean to tell me that's not milking?While you are partially right, the big difference is that the games they make are a whole lot different than the others... unlike Activision and their milkage, Konami actually bothers to deliver something different.
No MGS feels or plays the same as the others. Substance is worth just because of the VR training alone and Subsistance has the original MSX titles and MGO, so it's worth it as well.

This, not because of making it more mainstream though, I've never really liked it but Its getting so milked it hurts, c'mon we dontneed that many games just release the damn songs in dlcs or something (oh but they're doing that too right?).. And hate'embecause they're going the same way with CoD which I used to like (not love).

Gamers do tend to complain a lot, (see L4D2 boycott), and nitpick the hell out of games when they don't live up to their ridiculous hype (see Halo 3 haters) but there have been several occassions where Activison crossed that line between "Just good buisness" and "Greedy, cynical *******". More so than all game publishers as of right now. Six Guitar Hero games came/are coming out this year alone, at least. SIX! How about pumping out a re-package of the previous CoD games every year? Suing over Brutal Legend being taken by EA after they dropped it? Wanting to charge MORE money for games because they aren't profitable enough? Thats BS.you must not be keeping up with them then. ps3 was the first thing but now saying games should cost more and actually charging more for cod4mw2 and wanting to turn BL into a GH sequel come on its way more than one thing[QUOTE="river_rat3117"][QUOTE="Riverwolf007"]

i guess i just find it strange because they have not taken anything from me ($$$) that i didn't want them to haveas far as gh goes i have very little sympathy for people crying about it
if you played it, it's your fault they believe they can release a new game every 6 months or sell their games with $100 or $200 dollars worth of plastic toys
if you look at my gamertags you will see not one single achievement or trophy because i have never played it
people that bring things on themselves then cry about it later bug me
got a problem? don't buy the crap they sell it's as simple as that

Oh please. Thats nothing compared to six GH games in a single year.*SIGNS*
Activision is crappy for these reasons:
- They are clearly not into innovating obut merely in it for the sake of MASSIVE profit
- Milking of formerly great franchises like GH and CoD
- Shady buisness practices (announcing the MJ GH game the day after his death)
- Trying to get brutal legend canned because the developers dont wana make it some milkage gimmicky GH game :roll:
- Dropping Ghostbusters because it wont sell a million units and cant be milked and rehashes like CoD and GH:|
- Driving CoD into the ground

A.They are clearly not into innovating obut merely in it for the sake of MASSIVE profit
Business isn't about innovation, it's about making money.Sadly Activision is a business.
B.Shady buisness practices (announcing the MJ GH game the day after his death)
Wasn't that fake?The only thing I heard is that some of his stuff will be in the next game
C.Driving CoD into the ground
Modern Warfare and WAW were EXCELLENT shooters. And MW2 looks awesome...Did I miss something?

Oh please. Thats nothing compared to six GH games in a single year.I'm not saying it is. I never made that assumption. But you are delusional if you read that Wiki page and have seen all of the different MGS media and will still walk away and say it isn't being milked.There is no set time to determine if a product is being milked. There is only the quantity of product that they will try to entice you to pay for.[QUOTE="enterawesome"][QUOTE="heretrix"]Sigh.
