# Not suggesting I've got nothing else on my mind at the moment...


I think they should do a version for girls*

*comment based on Lady S' comments about how 'it's a game for boys', and nothing to do with the asertion that girls shouldn't play it. Which is of course nonsense

# Oh I enjoy a FPS
just not really real war like so real you're really a real soldier stuff. If you want to imagine you're shooting people for real, join the army and hope to go to afghanistan.

# I wouldn't describe COD as realistic in any way, other than the graphics

# It's all "cinematic" and stuff. Realism can cock off, as far as that game series is concerned.
The multiplayer's damned good though.
(Note: comments refer to CoD4 aka MW1)

# I think I'm more of a girl than you.
Last computer game I played was 3 months ago.
Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 on the Wii.

# COD doesn't interest me in the slightest
Last one I played was COD4, it was fun for about an hour but it just turns into the same untactical run in, blow up everything fest.

# It's the multiplayer that makes them such great games
The story of MW2 apparently runs to about 6 hours for your serious player.

But the multiplayer keeps you hooked for months.

I still play CoD4 two years on

I've had a lot of fun buying cheap games on Steam

# shit, i didn't realise
i was only playing it because I was told to.

I thought I was a grown up able to make my own decisions

# I am snubbing MW2 in favour of Dragon Age: Origins
Which is utterly godlike in its genius thus far.

# I have been playing it on the PC for several days
Are you waiting for a different-country release, or just a trip to the shops?
(I helped save b3ta! Mockingbird Practitioner of SCIENCE, Wed 11 Nov 2009, 10:20, archived)
# some money
and a trip to the shops

( I wasn't even aware it was out - I think I must have accidentally deleted the last Bioware newsletter before reading it)

Might buy it the missus for Christmas

# Yeah got a good few hours in :D
Developing very nicely. I have to say it's that rarest of things, an RPG with a seriously rich and engaging conversational element to it. Some quite complex and non-straightforward options which have already delivered a couple of good twists and turns.

Not the usual:

NPC - tale of grief and woe

PC options:
1. Aww there there why don't you sit down, have a nice cup of tea and we'll see what we can do.
2. I keel you to DEATH you worthless peasant.
3. Noncommittal neutral response.
