No offense but if you were that drunk, I'm not sure why you are spouting off your opinion.

lolwut?

Being drunk doesn't stop you remembering an experience unless you're blind drunk, if anything it'll probably make him more honest about the experience than be caught up in the "OMG IT'S MODERN WARFARE 2" hype.

New rule on Neowin, Drunks don't have an opinion? :rofl:

So after going to a mates Halloween party getting very drunk and completing this in 7 hours. I can say: It's MW1 with new guns and a 24 esq plot.

No really. It's almost the same!

The COD series has been like that since...forever

Shoot enemies that dont really matter, they come in waves and no matter how many you shoot its a matter of time before you can move on to next spot lol

They just keep on coming

Did you have a chance to try out multiplayer?

Vaguely, was only playing on a shoddy 26" TV so splitscreen, as you can imagine, wasn't all that fun. From what I did play it's very, very slick. It's like MW on steroids, the weapons selection is about the same as the original but the customisation is more rounded allowing you to slap mods on to everything my personal fave being the silenced shotgun ala No Country For Old Men ;D

if anything it'll probably make him more honest about the experience than be caught up in the "OMG IT'S MODERN WARFARE 2" hype.

To be honest I haven't been following it. I did enjoy the original and have been rather skeptical about this with the whole- "Yeah PC gamers won't see any chang- YEAH NO MORE DEDICATED SERVERS LOL."

But my biggest beef with the SP in the original, the AI, is much improved and rounded. The enemy's no longer appears to be spawning from magical door in a terrorist version of Narnia, they don't spam nades and use them much more effectively and they flank you a lot more. The story is... Alright... It's not great it's like a badly written Tom Clancy novel and uses the whole dying gimmick from the first far too often this time round taking the edge off the n'th time it happens. It does use it for some rather movie-esq scenes though in it's defence. Other than that as you'd expect it's Modern Warfare. It hardly deviates from the path of the last game and not in a Uncharted 2 good way either. Some of the set pieces you've come to expect are beginning to smell a tad stale.

Biggest question of all I guess: Game of the year? Pfft, I'm sure the media have already made up their mind regardless. IW could produce a turd and they would herald it as the second coming of Christ. In my opinion, it's good, no doubt about that. It isn't GotY material though. It most definitely feels that a majority of the time was spent improving the MP and they are running out of ideas for the SP side of things. Is it worth buying? Well. Depends if you like the MP or not.

I've been playing it at a friend's house the last couple days, sp and mp, and my opinion is that it is an upgrade, but not worthy of a sequel. A mod at most. I've played better mods actually... With the fact they removed mods and servers from the pc version I can't justify purchasing it myself. I just bought Borderlands, so that will keep me busy until bad company 2 hits stores.

If I get cod withdrawal I'll always have mw1 and waw to get my fix. Hell, I still have cod1 and cod2.

Slightly impedes his ability to critically think, no? He is going to see the surface of the game and not look past it for any changes being drunk.

I'm just saying playing video games drunk is a completely different experience. For me, I'm very functional but it just involves like 20x more swearing.

You want to pay for dlc that was in the original mw? The only way I can see people wanting to do that is if the don't own the original.

i'll pay if they are the levels i like

infinity ward can make this game into a ?150 game if they wanted, dlc options are endless. multi maps, special ops maps, they can also add in a zombies mode if they want

Gamestation doing midnight openings all round the country

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?...idnightopenings :D

?44.99 is far too much for me:((

I hope that Asda and Tesco bring down the prices again, if they do I might go to one of their midnight launches.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for Dark Scrolls, Empulse, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final update of June for Nvidia's cloud gaming service GeForce NOW is now available, and it is touting support for six more games. The company is also drawing subscriber attention towards the summer sales kicking off across stores, so they can stock up on more cloud-supported titles. Of course, the Steam Summer Sale is the biggest promotion, which is kicking off later today. "Supported Steam games can be streamed across devices with GeForce NOW, making it easy to buy a game once, keep progress synced and pick up where the gameplay left off on PCs, Macs, handheld devices, phones, TVs and more," says the company. "In other words, the Steam Summer Sale brings the deals; GeForce NOW adds the flexibility." Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active as well. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, available June 22) SAND: Raiders of Sophie (New release on Steam, available June 22) Deer & Boy (New release on Steam, available June 23) EMPULSE (New release on Steam, available June 24) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) With the June expansions coming to an end, Nvidia should be announcing its July GeForce NOW plans next week. Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      By sagum · Posted

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
