There's just too many people that will buy this for it to be unsuccessful.
I loved going to Sci-Fi conventions until fucking everyone started showing up in the late 80's. And all the toy marketing, lol.
Gaming is now hitting the same transition; people tend to find other shit to do other than put up with BS caused by millions of lame idiots.
When we ran the servers, we could ban idiots or cheaters otherwise fuck with them; one of my favorites was to give them only a pistol and one round in Crysis Wars, lol.
I think, looking back, that Crysis Wars was the peak in gaming; fast, modifiable, dedicated servers, etc.
The New Doom is pretty good; it just doesn't have good flow. I like arcade mode in the Ultra Nightmare setting; it's like cardio.
Crysis 3 wasn't bad, but it was way too consoley.
None of the new games seem to have fast keyboard or mouse input, they seem laggy. Yes, I buy mobos with PS2 plugs, usb only does 6 keys at a time, lol.
I guess that's because of the "Everything is a console port" problem; but I haven't seen a game push one of my systems in years, but I don't play at 4k either.
I was really hoping that Quake Wars would be like the old Quake, but it's not worth playing; it sucked after the second closed beta.
Sigh.
I saw a bit back that they made the guys that made the patch so you could still play BF2142 (after they shut down Gamespy) take it all down, or get sued into oblivion.
I think they deserve the downvotes; they locked the linked thread to limit the discussion, but it's going on at other places now.
Ever heard of Streisand Effect, EA?
