Things are looking grim on a few fronts. The official thread seems to be the last bastion of hope. They've circled the wagons to keep the hostile news on the outside of their eutopian dream.


So far it's holding pretty well actually. Runa's wagon is on fire but we're trying to put it out.

 

Anyway this is another bullshit review. It's obvious that reviewers are being unjust with this one considering their hate boner for Vita. User reviews put it around a 6 which is far more understandable. Heck reviewers, do you remember COD PSP? It has a 64 on Metacritic and I'm pretty sure this is better. Or what about COD on DS? The lowest (MW3) has a 57. If you think those games are twice as good as Declassified, you are messed up.



The DS MW games were only 30 dollars, not 50.  So, they needed to only be 3/5 as good as COD to get the same reviews.  I think that means they have to be 120% as good as Declassified to get twice as good reviews.

Honestly though, why do you think this game has been so tightly under wraps?  Shouldn't Sony and Activision jammed a game from the most successful franchise on the planet right now that's being counted on to support the Vita?  Why didn't they send out review copies?  It's obvious they knew this would be a turd.

Who wouldn't expect this? when nihilistic was announced as the developer this game had CRAP (you can say that here?) written all over it... i knew this was going to get atrocious reviews, just sayin' nihilistic also made resistance: burning skies.

Well we all know that the Campaign is atleast twice as long. Lol


I've played CoD on DS once. It isn't a short, buggy, incomplete mess like this game.

That's actually very annoying imo. If they knew the game was so bad why even release it? This game was obviously rushed and the devs probably thought "People are going to buy it just because it's CoD". Hopefully people are smart enough to not by this game just because of it's popular name.

I knew it was going to be crap because there was no way for Nihilistic to make two decent FPS games within the same year.

They're usually not, as Resident Evil 6, Final Fantasy XIII, FIFA, Madden, and COD itself since Modern Warfare 1 demonstrate.

Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is the best example imo.

Sad thing is that while people gobbled up the awful Operation Raccoon City, they ignored the very good Revelations.

That is a good example, not sure how I missed it since I listed RE6, haha. XD

Considering the bundling it's recieving into the bargain, I very much doubt sales of this game will reflect the terrible reviews. It will do well considering the system's install base.
