Indeed your psn FL is the measure for which all game hype will be determined.rapid32.5 said:shipped, yeah good luck with that replenishing. only 3 people on my PSN list are playing the game, 9 playing MW2. if it's any indication MW3 will ship 10 times as much.

Stage 1: Denial.SkoomaSuckinSwit said:I hope these retailers who are reordering large amounts of BF3, have anticipated the many returns/trade-ins of this same game for MW3.
More than a few gamers have (temporarily) bought their copies of BF3 because of the Online Pass, instead of paying $10 with a rental copy.
I expect to see no shortage of used copies of BF3 at the gamestore on 11/9.

I used the term in quotes, as you'll once again notice, because my point was if you're going to argue selling DLC and other extra content that have traditionally not been sold in smaller chunks by EA made it terrible, Activision is just as guilty on this front in terms of selling so many map packs with BLOPS and MW2.
Derrick01 said:Let me guess, you're going to take the stance that EA is great and is great for gamers?
Tallshortman said:Probably more like Activision is far worse. EA has had quite a few great games come out in the last two years. Really can't say the same for Activision.
Tallshortman said:Actually they are and the fact that you think otherwise is pretty funny. I'll gladly take used game passes over the same 3 franchises every single year. The fact that they put so much of their eggs into one basket is just terrible business on their part and just sets them up to be as much "anti-gamer" as anyone.
Tallshortman said:I actually do enjoy Activision games and have every major CoD (1, 2, 4, MW2, WaW, BLOPS) release as well as a few of the GH iterations. Thanks for talking out of your ass though.
You quite clearly don't even understand the post I was responding to otherwise you'd realize I said iterating the same franchises over and over again leads to too much franchise dependence which leads to bad milking policies.

No man, they're secretly ditching all the copies in back alleys, or burying them in landfills like E.T. for the Atari 2600. That's how evil EA is.Tallshortman said:Retailers are already asking for more shipments, that's why. That means they're either already out or nearly out.

It's not really an issue if you have played any other shooters than CoD. Not that hard to get used to the non-linear acceleration.subversus said:If only they didn't have control issues on PS3? isit really that distracting for a casual gamer? I'm playing on PC.

It doesn't make shooting "near impossible" like the person says in the description though.

The answer is yes, it's really annoying to even casual users.

Nirolak said:The faster things get crowded out, the faster people will work on making new business models to sell their games.
Given that XBLA sales are vastly dying down as well, I suspect we will see some changes rather soon.
Haha I gotcha! No worries man.subversus said:Lol, I didn't catch it. I forgot about that twitter drama. My apologies to JWong.
