Blame Microsoft!

In reply to a post by time2die:

Saying that Swanny,its nice that a game released a year ago still holds your attention and i would say only Gears 3 Horde is the only game i keep coming back for after about the same time.

444 hours now and still enjoying it
It's great that dice haven't just given up on the game and are releasing new maps and toys. I know you have to pay for the maps but at least they are real not like the rehashed stuff put out on the MW games.

I'm in no rush for the PS4

I am I wish i could forward time until the release as its about time we had some new next generation toys to play with.

Like a kid in a sweet shop when something new on the gaming scene gets released.......Except the Nintendo Wii U that is which in my opinion is a Epic fail as Far as Nintendo are concerned and a distant memory as soon as Microsoft and Sony release there consoles.

I would even go as far as saying that Nintendo will revisit there strategy and release something on par with what both Microsoft and Sony are doing.

Even now i recon Nintendo are back at the drawing board thinking of a new console because the Nintendo Wii U has failed to take of and is living of the same reputation as the Nintendo Wii before it that has had its day,admittedly a good one at the time but motion gaming is not where its at for a hardcore gamer.

Same as if Microsoft when they hold there event rave on about there new console and Kinect 2.0........Not interested in this or anything multimedia and deals with Sky or whatever.

Why would i want to watch Sky on a xbox in the first place when i most of us have a Sky hd box there under the television,same for Love Film ,Netflix and all the rest of the stuff,to me a complete waste of time and Microsoft need to focus on what they did well on originally .......Games and not all this Media content.

The multimedia on games consoles makes sense for those who have just a monitor in their room, which suits the teenager/student market

No, I blame Sony...

The probably will after 1 more patch though...

There already seems to be fewer UK servers around...

I blame Sony for following Microsoft's lead. But it started with COD on the Xbox, so I still blame Microsoft......

I personally can't see how platform specific timed DLC (or whatever you want to call it) makes somebody buy one platform over another, it's just commercial brinkmanship. It doesn't promote avid gaming, whatever your chosen platform.

Microsoft started it with there timed exclusive stuff and Sony started paying publisher also and started playing catchup.

Would not surprise me if this gets even more ridiculous when the next gen arrives.

Well if you have both consoles mate and you love a particular game like Cod Originally before it became what it is then its a no brainer to choose the console that has the downloadable content first for that particular game.

Not only did Microsoft have all the Cod map packs first they also had the better version of the game with the Playstation nearly always getting the short straw because of its cell processor and the fact most did not know how to get the best out of the machine.

Now Sony has wised up with the new specs for the upcoming Playstation 4 and this will not happen in the future as its a lot more user friendly and Microsoft i don't think will beat it.

I actually think this time around there will be no real reason to own both consoles after seeing Sonys presentation and the fact that rumours abound Microsoft will not be able to match it and the fact that Microsoft have sort of gone of track and lost the plot regarding new games and exclusives new ips and concentrated on media stuff .

Be interesting to see what they come up with in April...

Already pre ordered mine.
