It doesent usually provide anything, I used to think achievements allowed you to unlock DLC but its not. Most achievements and tropies arnt skill related, their time to waste related, if you have the time and lack of a life to kill, you can drive your gnome from one part of the game to the other in Half life 2 just to say u did it. No one sane will praise you, people will look at you and assume, seriously you have that much time to waste. Im a big COD player but i never prestiged, people who do so disgust me, just for extra flags or icons, the first time a weapon or perk is unlocked doing so, ill be on the bandwagon, till then, im never doing it. One thing I do like about COD is it offers you points for your skill, i.e. highest K/D ratio (altho camping and not being on top should factor in). Likewise i hate it cause if u suck you dont get demoted, its simply a forward progression of how much time u get to waste playing the game. Either way, playing for such things disgusts me.
Whats wrong with playing a game twice?...Oh if your trying to go from good to evil in infamous 2 it wont work...Your still going have make choice at the end to be either good or evil...So your going to have to play the game twice...Oh belive me I have tried it...
Promised_Trini
it worked for me in 1 and i usually go the evil route so I goody up just to see how the powers are and than baddy my way till the end. And as for alternate endings, I have youtube for that ;P
Then your a not a gamer IMO...Simple as that...
I like how some people think its a good thing to be an elitist gamer and play for trophies, I own many games, I game alot, but I play games practically, your opinion doesn't matter, I am a gaming enthusiast, if a gamer is some lonely anti-social fart who sits around playing WOW all day, then no im not a gamer. IMO, your not a gamer for assuming a gamer has to get the whole experience out of a game, i play a game to the level of my enjoyment, not a level of annoyance. Can someone argue with what I just said?
[QUOTE="deadlyabdus123"]First off, I never replay a game, I only did it twice in my life and was disgusted at myself. IN fact, in infamous 2, im going to all good and after I reach all the way up there im just going to red. Just two have both sides. Noting that: IT sickens me how some developers make it so your forced to play a game twice to get a full experience, i already know the story, im not playing it again, same reason I dont prestige in cod, its wasteful, no benefits and serves to waste more time than me enjoy it. That being said... I always go normal, never hard cause I dont know how hard a game could be or easy cause then it presents no challange. I also hate how some games make themselves artifically hard by decreasing ammo, to me hard is adding more enemies and smarter AI. I forget which game, but there is a game out there that actually increases AI intelligence to counter and shoot. Promised_Trini

Depends on the type of game, shooters I usually play on hard, since I sorta like for enemies to be bullet pin cushions, not styrofoam dummies that require a measly bullet to take off their head.. I also like to get punished if I make a mistake. Unlike you, however, I tend to replay games once at least, but I don't like having to unlock difficulties, such as in DMC, I really don't need to play it on normal, not after beating a previous version on DMD. Inconsistancy
thats funny, DMC is wanna the only games I replayed but only cause I unlocked Virgil, and it made it extra easy to progress.

Yeah, I'm sure Bethesda's shaking in their boots with that 88% metascore & 400k sales.
DragonfireXZ95
88% because of a few unrealistically low scores. Morrowind is 89% and has a following to this day. 400k sales in less than a month on PC alone (though I would wonder how you got that number because, it was also available as download and was on preorder on Steam for months). The Witcher 1 is probably around 2 million, again on PC alone.
Anyway. They are very different games. The Witcher has a fixed protagonist and that allows it unequalled characterization. The Witcher's writers are absolutely amazing. Elder Scrolls has the sandbox and free-roaming elements which I admit I also like, but in the end I'd give a slight preference to the Witcher.
your telling, ive never spent as much time on a boss fight and died so many time as the first one in this game, it was rediculous, and Ill be damned before I ever put a slider on easy, just how id be damned if i ever put it on hard. No kidding, many reviewers downrated the game because it was too difficult for them. Shame what the industry has come to now-a-days.
SO i HEAR that the MAJORITY of you are going with a NO so why do you all argue about scores when the come out and laugh at a game that was hyped higher if scores "dont matter" Frankly, most of reviewers with a low consensus bring valid points. LIKEWISE, not all high scoring games maybe suited for the player. I was dead set to buy LA noire and then I read how boring yet intriguing it was, I like games with action, same with Heavy Rain . I didnt buy the two because it offers little value to be in the long run. I dont replay games.
Nope, literally not at all. I buy games I follow, or if they're extremely cheap. Like saw Dark Void for 5 bucks at BB, probably will pick that up. For 5 bucks, who cares?Badosh
its wasted time, how much time do you have to waste? With work, the gym, clubbin, art, i dont have much time to play games, and dont want to waste it on crappy ones. I would never buy a game thats 7 or below in most cases, it makes me sick to my stomach some people do. I likewise dont watch movies rated 80 or below. Im disgusted by the disregard of reviews.
I hate it because i find it to be the epitome of casual gaming, i'm not a casual FPS player so i can't stop feeling 'what a crappy noob game' whenever i play call of duty.

so does it make you an elitist gamer hating it? cause I'd consider myself a big gamer and i dont mind playing with casual gamers, In fact, most of my friends are casual gamers or not gamers at all, id rather not associate myself with a person as big into gaming as I am because they tend to be physically like their stereotype. If your good at COD, you have skill, even the biggest gamers suck at FPS because they dont have the reflexes. COD just doesent have a steep learning curve and you dont have to master anything. It seems I adressed ever issue you guys argued in my replys, the only issue I agree with is that the series hasnt evolved much but thats because of the nature of the game and the tech limitations of having it 60 fps. we try to put as much as we can but current gen consoles dont allow too much shine at 60 fps. Also the lag is a big issue but servers cost money to maintain.
