Widescreen Gaming Forum

Activision is trying to justify a lot of things lately, including releasing Prototype in horrible condition and not answering any questions about a patch on their forum. I mean I know they've been in financial trouble, but making your reputation worse is not the way to overcome it.

tried this game on the 360 at a friends last week .... horrible game, then again im an infamous fanboy ;)
what i want to say is, 40 bucks is still overprized for this crap excuse of a release, especially with no patch mentioned as frag said above. but then again, its the same road alot of games go with full price beta versions for release - could still kick myself in ...wehrever for making the mistake of buying demigod, hellgate london or >.<
well mistakes are there to be made and learned from - never again a pc game without extensive self-testing ...

guess thats the reason im equipping my ps3 with a shitload of stuff ;)

Fortunately though there was a demo of Hellgate London that tipped one off as to how lousy a game it was.

Supposedly Activision are trying to justify it on the poor exchange rate. Don't think anyone quite believes them though. More like they know it's an incredibly popular game, maybe the most anticipated title this year for some, and so are milking it for everything they can.

I certainly don't believe it.

GBP has recovered quite nicely from the shape it was in four months ago. OK, it's not back at the level it was in July last year, but it's still not as bad as a lot of people are making out.

Activision are simply using what they see as an excuse to screw money out of people.

I don't see how Activision can be in trouble financially now... I mean they have the megabucks rolling in from all the WoW subscriptions. ;)

Eh, not that I was gonna buy it anyway. I liked the single player CODMW... but it had no replay value. And as I don't play online much (if at all) single player replayability is important for me.

Prototype looks interesting, I'd like to buy it... but the bugs put me off.

$40 on Steam now too... very tempted... the reactions here have been meh, but on my home forum nvnews everyone liked it a lot for the most part.

Considering...
