C.o.D really doesn't ninjaing deserve GOTY again, each game is just a boring rehash.

You always ignore me on fb when I ask why you hate it, is this your reasoning?

Rehashes aren't bad, originality for the sake of being original is horrible. Trying to make an "original" spin-off of an otherwise successful series is stupid because you get crap like Super Paper Mario and SatBK.

Rehashes do work on occasions, such as Fallout, but it doesn't work on C.o.D.
If you want a GOOD shooter, get Battlefield 2.

The entirety of this thread will be a BF vs CoD battle to the death.

And all the while the gaming market is being destroyed by those little iPhone games. Is there a name or genre for those sorts of games yet? (if not I guess the genre of arcade fits well)

>arcade
>not "Mobile Games"

[Interrobang Pie]

lol

what can i say i am not really up-to-date with anything to do with gaming

the SMASHINGLY irony

[Sergeant Dull]

BF vs CoD isn't a battle. It's a form of genocide.

However, I do have a problem with Kinect in general. You can't control speed on car games and the shooters are on rails. How does taking control away from the player create immersion? Especially when casual and arcade games from the early 90's let you do that and are no less difficult to play?

My problem exactly.

And once again, I will probably not enjoy Modern Sonic because since after '06 and they added that boost/dash crap to EVERYSINGLEGAME, Modern Sonic became linear as fuck and all you have to do is boost and hold up/right to win

>implying you can't do this in classic sonic

But that makes sense though, Classic Mode is supposed to be a linear-ish platformer. Sonic Team is practically forcing "Sonic Rush Mode" onto Modern Sonic.

Hold right and never let go? lol thats been with him since Advacne 2

[Eco]

Yes, but 3D releases after that didn't force it.

Sonic Heroes? Sonic Adventure DX? Shadow the Hedgehog? SONIC 06?

After Sonic 06, that new level/boost system got into every single Sonic Title and they mostly became 2.5D Platforming.

And Kotaku called Sonic Adventure 2 the worst Sonic Game ever. Proof of retardation.

Off-Topic: Anyone here played the Sonic Generations demo yet?
I've downloaded it and its really good, but very short. (Only has 1 stage of Classic Sonic.)

Although, it features some kickass music and gameplay.

Well, yeah, it's a demo.

While you have a point, TW, one would think they could've chucked City Escape Classic in there too.

That said, awesome gameplay, and wonderful choice of title music. There are already people speedrunning the demo.

Best time I could get was 1:45 after a couple of playthroughs of the demo.

Jesus SMASHINGLY christ this is even WORSE than the Sonic Unleashed Day Stages.

150% more boosting and hand-holding

Wheres the part that I actually get to do some PLATFORMING.
