So basically, strategy is outlawed and you must be spamming attacks at all times with zero hesitation or be accused.
If they really wanted to stop this while keeping the integrity of the matches, why not just outlaw all forming of teams? It's no less ridiculous than this stupid attempt at a rule and might be more enforcible.
@Deadly_Nemesis Did you guys even play the original ED? It wasn't a "sense of helplessness" type of game most of the time anyway. You spent most of the game killing EVERYTHING you encountered with swords, spells, or a fairly adequate amount of ammo. The game was notable for its epic story (spanning hundreds of years and following characters from the Roman Empire up to present day) and the fact that the game often played hilarious pranks on the player once your character started going too insane from fighting so many monsters. RE4 controls or old-school controls could both work fine for this type of game in my opinion.
In fact, I think it would be cool if they used both. On levels taking place in the distant past, make the controls like old-school survival horror. When you are following a more recent hero who has guns and stuff to use, switch to RE4-style so you can now run-and-gun the monsters using modern technology.
This is the fanbase you cater to, Activision. When you bitch about them, you are no better then the celebrities who accept millions of dollars to be in magazines and movies and TV, then bitch that they don't have enough privacy.
It's Silicon Knights, so we can all fund the game on Kickstarter now and maybe the game will be ready for release in 2023 on Playstation 5, XboxPi (with mandatory HAL controller that controls you while you play), and WiiLOL.
@SirApathetic005 Nah, gaming will be fine. On the PC it's easier than ever to make and sell decent games without a huge budget. Developers will have this to fall back on if the next gen budgets cause the current market to implode. Then eventually technology will advance to the point where it becomes easier to make what we currently consider a AAA title on a less ridiculous budget, and consoles will start building toward the next crash.
So the new definition of "free" is that you pay every month (potentially becoming hundreds of dollars depending on how long you keep the service) to play a game that you could have bought for $10 and played as much as you wanted on disc. Thanks for clarifying that, console makers.
And before you flame me, I know that there are other benefits to the services that could make them worthwhile if you take advantage of the discounts on certain games. But I still say the "free" games are kind of BS.
Reason #3,578 why I am skipping this console generation: Sony and Microsoft are spending most of their time trying to become higher-priced versions of Nintendo.
