I should have known.

My fantasy is that it is as good as the John Woo directed Stranglehold, which is an amazing third person shooter available from the vgpress amazon store.  

Are you kidding? You're kidding right? Right?

I have Modern Warfare 2, anyone want impressions?

After playing 3 COD games I think that I dont really need impressions. Let me guess, it half feels like its on-rails, it tries to fake you out with sensory overload. It's rigidly scripted, tries to be like a Bond movie. Is cinematic to the point where it can detract from actual gameplay. Oh and grenades constantly fall at your feet and shit explodes every second. And the AI is cheap as fuck.

Oh and it relies on invisible trigger points.

You've pretty much described it! I'm playing it right now too (cracked and bought the PC version) and the campaign is just not blowing me away like the last game did. I thought COD4 was brilliant and well paced with each level really great stuff....but MW2 just feels like an uninspired cash-in. The levels aren't as memorable, the story is dumb...and all those things you mentioned feel worse than before.

Its still good but much like Halo 2, not worthy of the praise.

They really need to overhaul their campaign gameplay, open the levels up and actually let you PLAY around in them a bit, instead of being on such a tight linear path. And the AI needs to be given a more Crysis-like personality.

Yeah COD is made by Infinity Ward who made the original Medal of Honor games, its the same shit each time, this time in modern settings. Still trying to do Saving Private Ryan.

I can't get over the fact that Halo 1 has better AI. They make wonderful looking sets, but the gameplay in COD is basic point and shoot. Its the presentation where they try to impress you, but I need better gameplay, better story, better design. Simply making everything big, flashy and cinematic isn't enough. And they really need to get rid of the spawing and grenade lottery.

Wow look at that!

Looks nice. I dont recognise the first pic, who is that boss?

 You can't recognize your fellow Brit, Death Metal?

I want to see some gameplay shots. 

 

 I don't think they will show it, seeing that the gameplay pics, especially in the overworld, look like crap. Easier to impress people with cutscenes.

I wonder why Suda hid the development of these ports? Its good that in japan at least they are cheaper.

 The games are full price in Japan and Suda has nothing to do with it. Marvelous is the one that decided to port it.

Check the threads hobos.

Do cranes remind you of erect phalluses?

nah.  i don't see the connection there as i don't care for phallic symbols especially.  now, the Gerkin building did remind me of my phallus ... but i still mostly went to watch the cranes
