Meh it will never be a "great" game for me. The fact that everyone seems to be giving it a pass on a four hour campaign is mindboggling. I don't care how great it is. They had two years to put together a campaign and even ODST's (which was developed in one year) was long. The days when games would get absolutely thrashed for doing this are gone it seems.

Yeah, that 4 hour campaign which took me 6 hours to complete, and most people more was really only 4 hours, despite what the in game stats say. Of course, we can all forget about the nearly perfectly balanced multiplayer, and addition of the spec ops mode to improve content that you can play with friends locally.

Oh, and as we all know, it is not how much you enjoy a game, but how much you are paying per hour of entertainment. A 10 hour campaign stuffed with loads of filled with a conveluted story is so much better than a 6 hours very tightly paced game. {The story might have benefitted from a tiny bit more explanation}

Please stop pretending like the single player wasn't written off to focus on the multiplayer. Plenty of games thusfar have given us great multiplayer with a longer campaign that has replay value in and of itself. Infinity Ward knows people are buying the game for multiplayer, and so it seems pretty clear that that's where their focus went.

u g2a stop being so close minded dude....not every story has to be as long as the lord of the rings movie to be just as enjoyable and worthwhile....

only leo-j's going on about that on vg chartz lol

MS said before GTA4 that "GTA4's launch will be a xbox 360 event"

but look at the sales now, GTA4 sold massively on PS3 too


yea and split 50/50 on both according to the developers. guess the brand association did have something to do with it.

if it psuhed 360 hardware then it pushed ps3 hardware too. theres just way more demand for the ps3, thats why.

Can't really blame them. I don't think anybody expected the game to be this popular.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

IW fails on their behalf they expected ps3 sales to be small so they wasn't prepared for 3.3 million users on their servers. They already know 5mil+ is expected on 360 hence why the 360 version has no problems.



luisgvm on 11 November 2009

^wow. there are already 3.3 million ps3 users on their severs???. on the first fay!!!??. DAMMMMMMMMM!.



SOLIDSNAKE08 on 12 November 2009

i think the week 1 sales will be closer to 4 million for ps3.
