@chaosemerald: I'd agree with you, Cold War was horrible in terms of controls on the PC, so it's the only COD game I've skipped in the past 15 years. There's no way that was the same engine as COD MW since the controls in MW are outstanding and felt pretty much like the original MW controls (PC versions). I was shocked at how bad Cold War looked and felt, especially in this era, it seemed as if it belonged to a game engine that came out 20 years ago, in fact I don't even see how it was released as is, it doesn't really deserve to be in the COD franchise. They were made by different studios, too, so they put their own spin on the engine and in the case of COD BO CW, it was a half-assed attempt at best.
@JamesHetfield89, logically it follows that they fight the Colombian drug cartels, our special forces have fought them since the 80s, still to this day, so there's plenty of material to build on there. You're right though in that Black Ops Cold War was centered around that, so it's a little puzzling that they're jumping onto that bandwagon. That aside, as long as they keep the game-play mechanics the same as the 2019 MW, I have no doubt it'll be a fantastic game. IW hasn't let me down yet, they make the best COD games.
The "apology" doesn't address the major problems, specifically the mods now belonging to Activision and only the units receiving a visual makeover, the backgrounds and textures are all the same.
Fans were promised a makeover akin to the StarCraft remaster which redid everything from scratch, not this half-hearted attempt. It damn sure isn't worth $30, more like $5, if that. Deeply disappointing, this isn't the Blizzard I've known and loved for nearly 3 decades.
Aross2004 nailed it, I enjoyed the film but the retcon, more specifically the killing of John Conner and the other hundreds of T-800s that were around ruined the first two films, can't believe that James Cameron signed off on that script.
Also, the sped up movements of the villain and overall exaggerated speed of the fights was too over the top, even for this series.
I loved Sarah Connor's return, she was as badass as I expected, perhaps even more. I also dug Arnold's comeback and Mackenzie Phillip was excellent.
The story also moved too fast, there wasn't as much character and story development as the first two films. Slow it down, take the time to build the story, nobody is in a rush to see this conclude, most of us want the Terminator journey to last.
Terminator 3, 4 and 5 may have some flaws but at least they stayed true to the original story, for the most part, and I enjoyed them for that.
I can't consider this new film as official cannon, nobody wants to see their favorite stories rewritten and negated, major mistake by Cameron to allow it.
@drpwnenstein: Thank you. I'd also like to point out that Hank Azaria is a Greek Spaniard Jew-American, so him being a minority himself really invalidates the argument that he can't represent another oppressed minority, if anything it makes him uniquely qualified to do the character justice. Just another example of how ironic the ignorance is that's perpetuated by these misguided or disingenuous SJW.
I never saw Apu as a racist nor a stereotypical character. If anything, the writers showed him great respect, e.g.the episode in the early seasons which focused on his religion, it was nothing but informative and dignified, even touching.
Accents aren't inherently racist, they're simply a limitation of vocal cords and certain inflections, it's scientific, not an ethnic bias.
The minorities who've unfortunately been the victims of racial profiling were attacked by evil racists, not because of an animated show. Racism exists because of ignorance and evil, independent of entertainment mediums. Racism existed long before the Simpsons and will continue to exist after it. The Simpsons was never a symptom of racism, simply an unfortunate casualty in the war of reality vs. perception. As is often the case, perception dictates reality, the arrogant leading the blind and nobody in charge has the moral fortitude to question the perception perpetuated by the misguided and self-serving Social Justice Warriors.
Btw, as others have pointed out, this really isn't a right vs. left issue, it's arrogant opportunists who see social causes as a powerful tool to further their own agenda, i.e. themselves. Narcissism, in a nutshell, under the guise of progress.
Well that sucks. Feedbackula is one of my main reasons for visiting Gamespot on a weekly basis. It's typically clever and does a great job of taking the p*ss out of Internet trolls and similar ilk, which has been sorely lacking from the gaming journalism industry at large. Obviously it's been a welcome addition to Gamespot based on the feedback in the comments and the enduring popularity it has enjoyed, so why cancel it? Where else can you find some intelligent insight of games and a proverbial smackdown of Internet morons? Somebody has to take a stand against these fools and Johnny was perfect for it.
Feedbackula may have been a boulder on the beach of the status quo, but at least it's been there, somewhat holding back the tide of idiocy.
I sincerely hope they change their mind, but if not, thanks for the memories and RIP, Feedbackula, you'll be missed.
@Shuda7 You're missing the point of this show. The point is to highlight all the stupidity within the gaming community, particularly that which exists online, and by bringing it to the forefront, hopefully it will make some people think twice before clicking on the "Post" button and put a little more intelligence into their thinking process. In other words, it's an attempt to appeal to people's critical thinking skills, or to acquire some when it's clearly lacking.
Also, it's comedic to view the satirization of inane comments, aka it's for teh lulz.
If you can't laugh at the banalities of life, then you're taking life much too seriously.
Victor 'Sully' Sullivan should be played by none other than Bruce Campbell, he was made for that part. Jason Statham would be a shoe in for Nathan Drake. Elena Fisher should be played by Elisha Cuthbert of '24' fame. If they cast these peeps, it'd be a hit.
