Support NeoGAF

[MMaRsu]

Goddamn don't take the internet so seriously, I was just poking a bit of fun at you and this thread (I have to, considering I probably spent over $500 US on this game already), nothing serious behind it. If fact I'll probably pick up Brutal Legend new, once I've paid off the ol' credit cards from buying MW2. :lol

Dude my sarcasm meter is totally broken. I really don't know when someone is serious anymore. Sorry for my bad form.

 

[TheGreatDave]

:lol :lol :lol You truly are a joke dude. The hell is wrong with you?
I empathize with PC gamers as I used to be one. The treatment they are getting here is beyond ridiculous. Whatever you probably wouldn't understand.

Just like the 20 other idiots asking what's the big deal with dedicated servers :lol .

Wait, what.

Why would a 360 COD fan have reason to boycott this game then? Like I said, I get the PC gamers being pissed. And it's put me off getting it on that platform.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

It's Acti-fucktheconsumerandthenleavewithoutcuddling-vision. You do the math.

 

[ghst]

Wait, what.

how about starting with the lack of dedicated servers and community options?

 

[MMaRsu]

God you are dense.

Being that you care so much about your fellow gamer, do you empathize with PS3 owners and refuse to buy a good 3rd party game on the 360 when the PS3 gets a shitty port?

 

[Square Triangle]

I'm boycotting it simply because I don't care for the Call of Duty franchise anymore. Also for the Activision haters- buy Brutal Legend so the sale numbers can be rubbed in Activision's face.:lol

 

[TheGreatDave]

God you are dense.

Spell it out then. What's the reason for your proposed boycott other than "Grrr CEO comments!" and PC gamers getting fucked when it comes to dedicated servers (which doesn't affect most people buying the game)

 

[MMaRsu]

Do I need any more reasons? Why the hell do I need to explain myself to you?

Those reasons are more then enough.

 

[Roto13]

I'm already doing this with all $70 PS3 and $60 Wii games.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Do I need any more reasons? Why the hell do I need to explain myself to you?

Those reasons are more then enough.

Those reasons are pathetic unless you're actually affected by PC news. But yeah, why should any one question anything you say? Continue with your bullshit troll thread. GO BRUTAL LEGEND!

 

[Nfinit]

Considering the move to dedicated servers is to sell you DLC I'm at a loss as to explain how this harms Activision.

In any case you can't have a "boycott" that still has you buying the product.

Dave dude, I'm pretty sure he said earlier in the thread that he's a former PC gamer, so he feels their pain on this issue. Why? I don't know. Personally, I got tired of the PC gamers elitist bullshit years ago, even as a Multiplat gamer. Let them whine I say, and enjoy games on their own merits.

 

[luka]

Really turned off from getting this. I'll probably get it at some point...used. Honestly I don't care that much. MW1 was fun, but personally I think there are much better games out there. Now if Rage or Doom 4 did this I would be pissed.

 

[MMaRsu]

Those reasons are pathetic unless you're actually affected by PC news. But yeah, why should any one question anything you say? Continue with your bullshit troll thread. GO BRUTAL LEGEND!

You may find those reasons pathetic, I do not. This is not a troll thread at all, MW2 is going to be amazing. So f you and your condescending attitude.

Why are you so defensive? I am not telling you what to do with your money, why do you feel the need to tell me I shouldn't buy it used.

 

[TheGreatDave]

I get the PC issue. It's bullshit and takes away one big selling point for the PC game. I'd totally say PC gamers should not buy a game they feel is crippled, and I do play PC games quite a bit. But this is like boycotting a 360 game cos of a shitty PS3 port.

 

[Milk Lizard]

Buy brutal legend and piss them even more off.

 

[Grecco]

Its bizarre to not buy a game on a plataform that doesnt have servers because another plataform doesnt have servers. But hey thats just me. You go ahead.

 

[Tiduz]

i predict this boycot wont help one bit. activision probably wont even notice it :lol

 

[autobzooty]

I was expecting to come in here and read a thousand posts talking about why boycotting Activision is futile and stupid, but I was surprised to see how many people are doing it. The dedicated server thing is total garbage. Didn't I also hear that they were charging 60 bucks for the PC version?

There is truly no company I hate more than Activision.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

You are boycotting one game due to shady publisher yet you have an EA game in your avatar?

Also, have fun calling Gamestop every day asking if they got a used copy of MW2 in yet, and then one day finally giving $55 + tax to one shit company instead of $60 + tax to another company because the CEO is a jackass.

 

[MMaRsu]

i predict this boycot wont help one bit. activision probably wont even notice it :lol

Well I'm still going to buy it, just used. Ofcourse this boycot won't help one bit. But It'll make me feel better about not giving money to that shitty ass company. That's what the thread is about for me, I was wondering if more people were going to do the same.

I'm not talking about a full blown HEY LET"S ALL BOYCOT DIS GAME RIGHT HUR.

I chose the wrong wording, whatever.

Plus EA has been awesome lately.

 

[Mileena]

You can't boycott GOTY. This thread is silly.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Company that makes games I like are shitty, news at 11.

 

[Eric WK]

:lol

 

[Mileena]

Company that makes games I like are shitty, news at 11.

I'm just going to buy it used!! That will show them how angry I am!

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Will not buy at all. Overpriced and lacking features? Bad move with all the great stuff about to come out, like Borderlands and Left4Dead2. I only bought MW because I'd bought every IW Call of Duty game ever made before it, but it looks like that's about to change.

Just to reiterate though folks, I know that you have the best intentions but a boycott lacks principle when you don't sacrifice anything. The idea is that you don't get something that you enjoy to demonstrate that you feel strongly on an issue. Buy it or don't buy it, the used only shit is just a cop-out.

You can't boycott GOTY. This thread is silly.

You can't predict the future either so where does that leave us?

 

[MMaRsu]

Whatever. There are a shitload of other people in this thread and in the other thread who aren't buying it because of this bullshit or just buying it used. You are in here for no other reason that to troll the people who will do that.

 

[J-Rzez]

You can't boycott GOTY. This thread is silly.

Who's boycotting Uncharted 2? Let me at them.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Whatever. There are a shitload of other people in this thread and in the other thread who aren't buying it because of this bullshit or just buying it used. You are in here for no other reason that to troll the people who will do that.

Your cause is so much more nobel.

 

[-PXG-]

Buying it used. Fuck Activision. Sorry IW

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I'm just going to buy it used!! That will show them how angry I am!

The best part is the people at the company inspiring the "boycott", Activision, won't give a crap about it. What, is Bobby going to make $14,999,980 instead of a cool fifteen million? :lol

 

[MMaRsu]

God you guys are pathetic. I know maybe you guys are just trying to get a rise out of me, but whatever... if you don't agree you've made your point. What the fuck is the point of repeating the same thing over and over again besides trolling this thread and/or me? Are you trying to dissuade other people to not buy it or?

 

[-PXG-]

True. But it's principle. I'm not going to give that cocksucker (Bobby Kotick) my money. I'll buy it used from my store at home, from a friend, eBay, or hell, GAF. Anything not to give Activision my dollar. I know, it sounds silly, and really, in the grand scheme of things, won't do anything. But at least I didn't support Activision's shitty business practices with my wallet.

Would you rather this thread just be a list of "+1, great thread!"

 

[MMaRsu]

Would you rather this thread just be a list of "+1, great thread!"

Did you see me say that? Goddamn what the hell is wroooooong with you. Are you really this stupid or are you just acting this way? I told you you've made your point, I do not see the point in trying to making it over and over again. I have nothing against people buying it day one, like I have said multiple times in this thread, do what you want with your money, I just do not understand the fact that you are trying to convince me to either not buy it at all or buying it new.

I am the only one who decides what I do with my money, and that is the same for everyone else here.

 

[BoilersFan23]

This has been my plan all along, buy used.

 

[Smash88]

I'm sure someone from the console-side decided to support PC gamers and get it used, and was asking others if they would too.

Some of you people are truly ignorant and threads like this only bring you out.

Thank you for understanding .

:lol what a moron

 

[Tzeentch]

Oh, I see. You want to justify supporting a crummy situation because MW2 is too big to fail. If you folks roll over and take it for a GAME I'd hate to see how you make decisions related to politics and relationships.

 

[Haunted]

Fuck, let it go Dave, your last couple posts were just directed at attacking MMarsu directly.


I'm sure Activision will do fine without you defending them

Spoiler

at least for a couple more years until they've completely run their exploitable franchises into the ground (also see: cash-in Hero games)

. The reasons for the boycott are totally acceptable, lack of dedicated servers, dislike of Activision's ruthless business practices (re: exploitable franchises), Kotick's recent comments about game pricing, MW2 getting a price hike just because they can... basically, it's to vote with your wallet and tell Activision that you're not in support of their practices.


edit: and to top it all off, the fuckers threatened Brütal Legend's release with their fucking lawsuit! grrr

True. But it's principle. I'm not going to give that cocksucker (Bobby Kotick) my money. I'll buy it used from my store at home, from a friend, eBay, or hell, GAF.

word.

I so often hear "just vote with your wallet if you don't like it" to quickly dismiss criticism but the second anyone actually decides not to they're all up in arms about how futile it is.

What a loser mentality.

 

[wolfmat]

I'm sure they won't give a fuck, yeah. They're a publisher, this is a money game for them.

But some of the developers at IW get why people are upset, I'm sure of that. And they will discuss this topic once more with the other guys. Maybe they'll reconsider or adjust things for future titles.
Especially if things don't work out as planned with their planned networking solution.

It's a given that things won't change for MW2 though, that's obvious. That title is finished.

 

[Seagoon]

I've decided to boycott this game until Activision come to their senses or at least provide more information on how getting rid of dedicated servers will improve my MW2 experience.

Looks like I may not be playing this game anytime soon... :lol

 

[WickedCobra03]

I'm not getting it until it drops in price.
And that won't be for a long time so I guess you could call that a boycott of sorts.

Probably the same but I ended up getting CoD:WaW for $29.99 at Target last year.

 

[bounchfx]

this is absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Karma]

Who's boycotting Uncharted 2? Let me at them.

So fucking annoying.

 

[Grecco]

Again thats not really a valid reason when your plataform never had the servers. Its more like a fake excuse if anything.

 

[TheGreatDave]

Thank you for understanding .


:lol what a moron

Maybe you should rent it. Fuck Kotick and Gamestop!

 

[∀ Narayan]

You can't boycott GOTY. This thread is silly.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Get out.
