I Love Mondays: 11/09/09

I have a feeling something's coming out this week... Current Conflict? Present Battle?

Want to know what's on Giant Bomb this week? This often-wrong look at the week ahead may help!

I forgot MW2 was coming out tomorrow. I am personally glad that Dragon Age is sooooo good that I don't have to worry about getting it any time soon.

MW2 is like the Brett Favre of video games.  It was very a very good player when it was on PC all those years, but then betrayed its fans and moved to Minesota, and you can't go a minute without hearing ESPN sucking its dick.  Also, Greenbay is like the PC, and we really want MW2 to fail, but you can already see how strong he's doing with a guaranteed spot in the playoffs and possibly game of the year.  That also means PC gamers lost to the previously winless Tampa Bay last weekend, in their creamsicle uniforms no less.  A dire time for PC gaming indeed.
 
But to be serious, Dragon Age is taking up a lot of peoples' time, and incidentally they don't care about MW2. Just ask Dave which game he prefers (Dave owns).

It's great to see that even with Giant Bomb being such a small group of guys and with the release of Modern Warfare 2 this week they're still managing to pack in all that other coverage. Keep punching them dinosaurs guys!

Much like Green Bay, the PC's defense sucks.  Although, I did get a kick out of the bumber sticker that said, "IWNET-IWONT".  If there weren't so many people going in and pirating the multiplayer maps, you wouldn't have this problem.  Yes, it's a shame that everyone gets punished for the actions of a few.  What Infinity Ward did was cure a symptom of the condition.  Don't blame them, blame the hackers.

I wonder how many people are going to submit videos of them playing Dragon Age: Origins.
 
Also, why is MW2 60 frikin dollars on PC? I don't know about you, but I don't pay 60 dollars for PC games unless they're boxed collector's editions.

A popular and great game like MW2, must bring out the worst in haters. Sorry that I'm not as "hip" as you guys who don't like anything remotely popular. Too bad, because on Tuesday I will be enjoying a GOTY contender. Have fun.

Pirating the maps? IW released the COD4 maps on PC for free, dude. IW just wants to make sure that PC owners have no control over the game, and pretty much crippled the entire game in the process.
 
And it's always hilarious whenever fanboys say that the only reason anyone could possibly dislike their favorite game is because of "rebelliousness," and not because of a legitimate opinion about disliking certain styles of  gameplay or disagreement with the way a company's treating their audience.

All fucking day at school all they did was talk about MW 2, im getting really sick of it, ok great its out tomorrow! Can we stop constantly talking about how awesome it is even though most of us havent even played it yet and are just assuming its the best game ever. Goddamnit, I wish the saboteur got talked about as much as this.

Hard to justify a purchase for such a short (yet, if it's like its IW-made predecessors, incredible) experience. 
 
Maybe I'll pick it up whenever it sees an Australian Steam price-drop. Which will be a couple of years judging by how Activision shafted us with CoD4.

I wouldn't say they are paid. It's more likely that Activicion will lift the review embargo a little sooner for "friendly" websites, or something like that. "
Nope, they said the review will be up at 12, that's when the game is released, and thus the embargo is lifted.

My bad, I didn't realize Infinity Ward released the maps for free.  However, they spend a good amount of money making those maps.  It only makes sense for them to find a solution to charge for them and not have someone post them for free.  For the record, if you don't like Modern Warfare 2 or the type of game, all the power to you.  There are plenty other styles of games out there.  If it's IW Net that you disagree with, grow up.  I don't blame Infinity Ward for creating a way to ensure they make money off of their downloadable content.  It's a business for a reason.

And the winner of the most overrated game of the year or possibly forever: Modern Warfare 2!!! 
I'm not settling for a 5 hour SP, and there is so much more I rather be playing, not to mention I have treasures to find and spiderants to kill. As I have no videocamera, I guess that is my entry.
