Return to Castle Wolfenstein wasn't a bad game. It was overhyped and had the unfortunate luck of coming out just before the MUCH better Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, but it was still a good game.
"why do developers even try with first person shooters they arent gonna beat CoD or Battlefield"
Umm...Bioshock, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Metro, Borderlands...The list of great FPS's that aren't named CoD or Battlefield stretches on. I realise that all of the games I just listed (aside from Halo) aren't xbox exclusives but they all have one thing in common... You can't get them on Nintendos consoles.
I think the main problem is that games just cost too damn much now days. Personally, although I do quite well financially and have no problems paying $60 for a game, I know that many people out there cannot afford to do the same. One thing I refuse to do is pay insane prices for DLC shortly after release. Although the example game I'm about to give is off topic it proves my point. I recently bought Black Ops 2 and was offered a DLC pass that cost the same price I just paid for the game essentially making it $120 if I wanted to have a seamless multiplayer experience... This is insane and I absolutely refuse on principal alone to pay for it. Especially disconcerting was the fact that the first round of DLC came out so shortly after release.
In short, when dev's price gouge cash strapped consumers they run the risk of forcing consumers to limit themselves to only one or two games, or to wait until the price for the game drops significantly which in turn hurts their sales numbers. This is the industries own doing, and regardless of the quality of a game, it is bound to hurt all but the biggest blockbusters sales numbers.
Yeah because all of the casual gamers who bought the system for wii sports and then never used it again(as several people I know did) As for the Kinect and PSMove.. They are gimmicks as well.. HOWEVER, they are not the main selling points of those systems.. If you can't see the difference then you are the one with a bias.
@Zorine then perhaps the article should be updated to include that little tidbit of information don't you think? Especially since not everyone reads the comments.
I'd have to disagree.. There hasn't been a good Vietnam game since the first Vietcong. Also shooting Nazis in the face never gets old for me although I understand that not everyone feels the same way.
