Call of Duty: World at War Sales Predictions

[fastyxx]

World at War will not be purchased by me, because I find the level of violence to be over the top and gratutitous in a way the previous COD games were not.

Just because you CAN show realistic deaths by flamethrower in slow motion does not mean you SHOULD show them.  The trailer this week that showed NO MERCY!  NO RULES! while slow motion stabbing, barbecuing, shooting in the face, pummeling with fists - awful.  Kotaku had the above post this weekend, and I couldn't agree more.  I have had a disturbing feeling about this game since I saw the first preview trailer way back around E3.

Nothing about being a hero.  Nothing about saving democracy and the world.  Just killing in gruesome ways - and not in fun cartoony ways - set to a rock song.  It's one thing when it's aliens and space marines, but it's another when it's real situations, made realistic in appearance, from a real war.

I don't like it and I won't buy it.
So that's one COD4 buyer who won't buy this one.
