@BillyColeman Beta testing has little influence on final release, as far as population goes. I think they really did underestimate and is having a hard time because it's also on PS3. The PS3 and PC share servers and the're quite a bit of them. It's just that, it being released on both with no real "roll out" or region release, handling the stress from PC and PS3 wasn't ideal. I don't think anyone thought this game was going to be as big as it is.
@sortajan @Bellum_Sacrum @WantYouBad A hinge is easier to break. That's all. A kid can push back too hard, or drop it. 3DS has a nice build quality but it's not kid proof.
@that_weird_dude @FusionRain @cboye18 Well I'll be damned. That's a good idea. One problem though. The Gamecube Controller only has 1 Z button. If they use both ZL and ZR then that could mess things up. Doubt it though. I'll bookmark this, thanks.
@VELZER Really? How many other FPS are even relevant right now? I mean you got Killzone and BF4 coming out this year, but both of those games has history so being influenced by CoD is not true. Destiny looks great but that's not for a while. Also it's not CoD that's stopping new IPs. It's the production cost. Look at Ubisoft. They said they won't make any games they don't think they can make a series of for that very reason.
Most "gamers" don't "only" play shooters. That's just a stereotype. I enjoy shooters but it's hardly my fav genre. This goes for most of my friends as well. Also going from FPS to just the broaden span of shooters is just ridiculous That's like saying RPGs should stop including swords. I think I get what your trying to say but you seem to be pointing your concern at the wrong place.
Production cost is whats limiting new IPs, not shooters and definitely not CoD. CoD is popular but your giving it too much credit to think that it has that much effect on the industry. The're many others like you who don't like CoD, or even shooters, there are still games to play for those people.
@Bayonetta2013 I never said you were wrong. Your view is just.... off.
Also I can't say there isn't a stereotype at all but if asked that why would you be offended? Just say you don't play it. That's that. If your talking about the media then fine but those guys no nothing about gaming so yeah... GTA serves gamers worst than CoD dose in the public eye anyways. Lets not talk about the idiots on the news though. UGH I don't wanna go down that road again.
I said "J RPG" meaning that just because I like NIS (Nippon Ichi Software) I'm some wannabe Japanese kid... or weeaboo. It's all Japanese media really.
Also I didn't say you were wrong, I commented because I wanted you to think of things in a different, more broad way.
