Yep.. it's gotta suck
My gosh. Generic Shootan Game #456 of this generation. What does it have to compete with exactly? Despite Spike TV being a complete joke, and the vast amount of moron consumers this day and age, CoD MW2 could be a good game. (Take note I have not played it.) High sales does not make a great game however.
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem was one of the most innovative and best horror games to come out for it's time. Guess how many copies it sold? 288,654 copies. That's it. Proof right there that sales mean nothing. I could bring up a bunch of examples, but that one really is good enough.
I'm not even going to touch on how greedy Activision is. It's not uncommon for developers to bribe reviewers for good scores. Activision themselves are a cancer on the quality of the game industry. Other developers are going to see the "success" of MW2 and try to emulate it. It's nothing but a downward spiral from here and everyone who bought into it is at fault.The future of games is very, very bleak.
