Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 has been in the spotlight lately, with some people questioning whether or not it is being treated fairly. The Monday letters page of a popular publication agreed with one reader who was concerned that Sony was concentrating too much on hardware and not enough on software, such as Fashion Dreamer. Bobby Kotick, founder of Activision, added that people who don’t play the game seem to be the ones dragging it for the campaign length, which is only a third of the package.
Since the original Modern Warfare back in 2007, people have been spending more time playing the multiplayer element than the campaign. This is where the length and value for money lies, and it works out to pence per hour rather than pounds. Kotick noted that even game sites are guilty of this, reviewing only a single element as if it is the entirety of the offering.
Simundo added his thoughts on Alan Wake 2, which generally were pretty good. He mostly enjoyed the live action stuff, though found the musical number to be particularly fantastic. He noted that for large chunks of his 12 hours so far, the game had been fiddly and slow, but not in a way that was unpleasant. He did however, criticize the combat for being slow, clumsy, and aggravating, noting how much better it was in Control.
James was also in agreement with the discussion, noting that Sony is making a lot of hardware with nothing else to back it up. He also had his own criticism for Activision, noting that they lied and took people’s hard-earned money on trash DLC. He gave Alan Wake 2 an 8 out of 10, noting the only cons being the overuse of Mind Place and maps.
LeighDappa asked if the game Fashion Dreamer on the Switch would be reviewed, noting that they liked the Style Boutique games on DS and 3DS. They were concerned for the quality of the game, as the trailer showed a lot of the game and seemed like the game was trying to overwhelm people into buying it.
Audiospanks recommended The Computer Game Show, which is a UK-based gaming podcast. They noted that it is made up of four relatable guys who discuss news and what they’ve been playing each week. The podcast is funny, and the guys can often get into arguments with each other.
Finally, Wonk shared a funny story about the censored version of the movie RoboCop, noting how much effort was put into making sure it didn’t offend the audience. He also mentioned Lethal Weapon, which had its own heavily edited version. He noted that it was amazing to see all of the hard work put into censoring the movies, in one that was already known for being offensive.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 is a popular first-person shooter video game, but of late, it has been unfairly treated. This is the opinion of many, including the reader of a Monday letters page, who felt that Sony was concentrating too much on hardware and not enough software.
Bobby Kotick, the writer of the piece, noted that people who don't play the game are the ones who talk about it the most. People often critique the game for its short campaign length, but what they don't consider is the multiplayer element which provides much more value for money than the campaign. Kotick suggested that game sites are guilty of reviewing the game based on a single element without considering the overall offering.
Simundo, another reader, shared his experience of playing Alan Wake 2, noting the live action elements, the musical number and the challenging combat. Despite the combat being slow and clumsy, Simundo said he was mostly enjoying it. He compared it to Control’s combat which was much more enjoyable.
James, a video game enthusiast, also shared his opinion on Alan Wake 2, noting that the protagonist Saga was a refreshing addition. He felt the game was worth the wait and awarded it an 8 out of 10, noting the only cons to be the overuse of Mind Place and maps.
