I Love Mondays: 11/09/09

Pele is going to dominate that shooter nobody has heard of. 

Another great Monday. :)

Nothing else happening this week?  I guess they're covering New Super Mario Bros. Wii as a "next week" item.  Seems like a huge thing not to mention, but it is a Sunday release... *shrugs*

I will be infiltrating the ActiBlizz main office with my nightvision goggles(no not the ones that come with MW2, I wouldn't buy that game) and secretly putting a well-placed thumbtack on the all too soft, fine Corinthian leather chair of one Mr. Bob Kotick.

Sooo...what happened to the whole Silent Hill Shattered Memories coverage that got delayed? I thought it was going to show up this week...

Wow people sure like hating on things :/ good job!

ITS MODERN F#$&*% WARFARE 2

Yay, non MW2 things going on. Have y'all picked up Press Your Luck yet? :)

Truly this is the age of SPACE

I like to punch dinosaurs in the face, DO YOU?

It's really funny reading all these hateful comments toward MW2. It's a very popular game so of course there will be people who hate it and feel the need to be overly judgmental on the game and voice their opinion whenever and wherever they can about it.

I'm going to the release party in a few hours! Woop woop!

" Am I the only one who have no idea what Modern Warfare 2's all about? "

I need punching a dinosaur as my background....

Are you guys paid by Activision?  That was pretty over-the-top

I'll, uh, be playing Lego Rock Band.

Sounds like a boring week. Hopefully after this mw2 lull week other more interesting games will show there faces again. Back to dragon age.

I heard the newest game of the Call of Duty first-person shooter franchise is being released tomorrow. Does anyone care to confirm this?

" Oh boy, time for two weeks of huge Modern Warfare 2 ads on the site and before each video.  It's indeed a  "dude-face-shooter," because constantly hearing marketing for it, and seeing IW's treatment of their audience, makes you wanna shoot a dude in the face. "

Call of who? Modern what?

emmm i am going to get it in about 4 hours. other than that, university....

You didn't mention Modern Warfare 2!

I can't get excited for yet another shooter. I just can't.

Hmm  though it seems many people here don't care that much about MW2 (myself included), it does look like a very solid first person shooter. It also seems that most of the antagonism towards this game comes from it being an Activision product. If you don't care or don't want to support Activision don't buy it, but that doesn't necessarily make it a bad game.

What was that at the end that Ryan kinda half-said..? XD

12 midnight review?  I'll be there.

Just can't get enough of Modern Warfare 2?! Well, in my case, yes, yes I can. I'm tired of hearing about Modern Warfare 2. I'm sure the game is going to kick alot of ass, but like a nagging and annoying child that won't shut up, I have to hear about it every week, non-stop, through the gaming media. Alright, I get it. Just please let the ringing in my ears stop!

I am not buying Modern Warfare 2.  Just sayin'.

Pretty pumped to play through MW2 in one sitting late tomorrow night after my brother finishes fucking around with his buddies on Xbox Live. It's perfect timing because I have Wednesday off since it is Remembrance Day!

" Call of who? Modern what? "

Splinter Cell: Conviction = Badass: The Game

MW2 = Dude Face Shooter

Any others?

Anybody who submits a video of them doing something other than playing Modern Warfare 2 will be permanently banned from the forums.
 
Thank you.

Too busy with dragon age, ratchet and clank, muramasa the demons' blade and demon's soul to pick it up. Maybe next year...

I'm getting annoyed with that Modern Warfare 2 crap - I didn't like the first one, then I got a bit stoked for MW2 and they took out dedicated servers, successfuly ripping my minor enthusiasm.

Am I the only one that does not give a flying fuck about that game?

nice, a midnight review on GB

Am I the only one that doesn't give a shit about Modern Warfare 2? I'm sure it will be good and everything, but I still don't care.

Concurrent Squabble 2?

I thought I was the only one completely tired of MW2 madness, it's very heartening reading these comments.

I can't wait until this silly hype is over. Maybe now that Modern Warfare 2 is out they might lower the price of the first game.
 
I think I'll go hide under a rock for the next week or so... avoid the storm.

finally an actually Question for the "Question Of The Week"

Heckling popular things makes me one righteous dude. To that end; CoD6:MW2 = meh! So I'll just keep playing Borderlands until I'm playing AC2, and then it'll be my turn to get my popular thing heckled by other righteous dudes.

YES. This is a great week ahead.

Yay! Questions are back in Question of The Week!

Been playing MW2 for a while now, great game.  There was a patch when I put the game in, probably adding the option to skip the questionable level.  Much better than the last game, although I got a little confused about who I was in the story, since you change names, get killed and switch between different people constantly.
 
My biggest hurdle is playing it on PS3, since I'm not paying for Live for it's now redundant features, I'm using PS3 for the online.  I was on 360 for the last game, and it's been a year since I played it, so the game is a little different whilst I'm getting used to the controller and lack of rumble.

Midnight release tonight, woo! Well, technically its tomorrow at midnight.
 
Also, Dragon Ball Raging blast looks pretty good, I played the demo and its fun, sorta a throwback to the budokai tenkaichi series mixed with the some of the fighting elements of burst limit, its not bad, but its still not exactly what I want in a DBZ game. I'll probably get it though.
