I’ve heard a lot of complains about any game lately, not just because I’m browsing 4chan, but because it seems like modern customers can’t see both sides of a coin. You may have noticed that I tend to line up against complains. It’s not that I’m a contrarian. I just like to make people think twice, so let’s go step-by-step.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Can a game be  marked as shit because Peach isn’t playable and the graphic style is rehashed or has the same name of another game? I doubt it. We played countless platformers and enjoyed them so what could ever prevent us from enjoying this one too? It’s noticeably harder and it has got his gimmicks and special moves. It’s worth playing just because it’s the same gameplay that kept you busy for hours when you still were underage. You may have gotten older but some things never do.

Left 4 Dead 2

One of the most boycotted games is also one of the most pre-ordered. Funny but true. People expected great things from it and weren’t disappointed. The problem is that all these “great things” haven’t been properly tuned. Rushers make their way with axes and get kicked for that and some player can’t hear hunters because the muted the game due to Rochelle’s voice. Why so serious? L4D2 is a fun game and that’s how it should be played as. Starting with the first campaign and also in the new multiplayer mode it’s obvious that L4D2 is a zombie-maiming fragfest. Kicking the infection’s ass is priority opposed to surviving. My suggestion? If you want to have some laughs play L4D2, while if you need serious shooting stick with L4D.

Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2

Here’s another FAIL of a Boycott. First the players complain about the lack of dedicated servers and proper networking, then they all buy the game on release making it sell 5 million units in the first week. Seriously, who are the average COD players? Some sort of 12 years old  posers with the knack for war games? I guess they are as smart as MW2’s publisher, Activision, who asked Valve to ban players who legally bought game keys from G2Play. No comment. Looks like I’m wasting bytes on my database writing this.

Borderlands

They say that’s like WoW with guns or Diablo. I really can’t count these as complains. It may be boring or unoriginal but in multiplayer it’s intriguing. You can also roam alone if you feel confident, hoping for first hand loot. What are you waiting for? Invite some friends!

On a side-note, If you played L4D2’s campaign Dark Carnival you may have noted the small posters of the Midnight Riders, as well as their awesome performance stage, complete with fireworks. Well, looks that the band is not dead as it’s currently posting videos on YouTube. Here’s their first single.

Assassin’s Creed II is also out. I probably won’t play it but a lot of people seems interested in this so comic is inbound, as well as for Shattered Horizon. I’ve heard that it’s the new Counter-Strike, it’s well supported and I’d like to try it out if someone can send me one of the famous guest passes (you can get me on Steam from Gamers Inn’s Steam group, guess who’s the admin).
