PC Gamer Review For Modern Warfare 3 Delayed Due to Receiving an Xbox 360 Copy From Activision - Polidicks

Burn activision to the ground for this unforgivable insult!!!!!!

[QUOTE=ZF911;33185239]Yet they named it shooter of the year.[/QUOTE] Oh I'm talking about PC Gamer UK who named BC2 shooter of the year

[QUOTE=elfbarf;33185213]Meanwhile, the guys at Rock, Paper, Shotgun didn't receive a copy at all nor were they invited to the launch party. Must be due to the lack of review scores and because Activision knows that they'll actually criticize the game a bit.[/QUOTE] You realize most of the people who work at RPS also work for PCG, right?

couldnt pc gamer just play it on the xbox and then review it

[QUOTE=sYnced;33185413]couldnt pc gamer just play it on the xbox and then review it[/QUOTE] no.

[QUOTE=sYnced;33185413]couldnt pc gamer just play it on the xbox and then review it[/QUOTE] No, that's retarded.

[QUOTE=sYnced;33185413]couldnt pc gamer just play it on the xbox and then review it[/QUOTE] Especially not with COD since one of their issues with Black Ops was that the PC multiplayer just straight up didn't work

[QUOTE=sYnced;33185413]couldnt pc gamer just play it on the xbox and then review it[/QUOTE] That would be utterly terrible. The PC version might (and from what I have heard it does, due to a couple of problems involving game controllers and windowed mode) suck badly.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33184407]because it deserved it[/QUOTE] Hey now, BO was a nice change from both MW2 and WaW, and zombie mode was a lot of fun [I]with real life friends[/I]. (did I mention the awesome easter eggs like the top-down zombie minigame and the terminal? And the story was much better than MW2's too. And we got dedicated servers back!)

I might buy it if PC gamer puts out a above average review, since they're the only ones who can actually be trusted.

[QUOTE=AzzyMaster;33184933]It was most likely an accident, someone just picked up the wrong copy when stuffing it in an envelope.[/QUOTE] Its hilarious how much people can spin something so simple. It was obviously a mix-up. Some clerk probably just grabbed a copy of the game nearby and oops, turns out it was for the wrong platform. If you guys want to bash Activision there are far more fruitful ways to go about it.

It mostly focused on the singleplayer (which is obviously tacked on and fairly mediocre) with the only focus on multiplayer being that it didn't work at all despite it working perfectly fine for me and the 8 people on my friends list who had it pre-ordered.

[QUOTE=stepat201;33186132][url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/08/dragon-age-2-review/[/url] Most of the time at least.[/QUOTE] "best RPG combat ever" w what.

Think you've gotta figure out what their favourite games are. If they prefer FPS, they'll probably prefer a faster RPG, which might be a crap RPG to a proper RPG fan.

[QUOTE=doonbugie2;33186010]I might buy it if PC gamer puts out a above average review, since they're the only ones who can actually be trusted.[/QUOTE] They criticised all three deathspank games for having [I]too much game between the dialogue[/I].

[QUOTE=sYnced;33185413]couldnt pc gamer just play it on the xbox and then review it[/QUOTE] That's what I thought when the Playstation Magazine reviewed Halo Reach... Oh wait, they didn't :| MW3 doesn't look half bad TBH, nothing i'd buy for 60 Euros though, I'd rather buy one of the ArmAs on Steam this Midweek Madness for less than 10 bucks.

I like pc gamer

[QUOTE=BrQ;33185098]this really, you guys are being pretty stupid about this its like you guys are thinking that the guys at Activision were looking at 'PC Gamer' and thought: 'they need an xbox 360 copy of the game'[/QUOTE] Unless they gave the envelope to some retard in packaging and he didn't look at the recipient, I think it's fair to say a paid PR department should realize not everyone in the gaming industry reviews for multiplatforms.

[QUOTE=Dlaor-guy;33185986]And the story was much better than MW2's too[/QUOTE]You're joking, right? BO had one of the worst stories I've ever seen, MW2 at least had a generic story [editline]8th November 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=sYnced;33185413]couldnt pc gamer just play it on the xbox and then review it[/QUOTE]because that's not the PC game

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33187774]You're joking, right? BO had one of the worst stories I've ever seen, MW2 at least had a generic story [/QUOTE] at least you could follow the black ops story.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33187774]You're joking, right? BO had one of the worst stories I've ever seen, MW2 at least had a generic story[/QUOTE] What? BO's story was miles ahead of MW2's. Black Ops's at least wasn't generic and wasn't a convoluted mess, everything that was unclear got explained in the end and it was actually somewhat original.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33187774]You're joking, right? BO had one of the worst stories I've ever seen, MW2 at least had a generic story[/QUOTE] MW2 was just "HURR KILL MAKAROV" while teleporting from one point in the world to another. Black Ops at least had this interesting psychological numbers thing, and it was a lot easier to follow. Yeah, rate all pro-BO posts dumb, that'll help.

Can I just point out that PCG US and PCG UK are entirely different (the UK version is far proer)

Activision knows PC guys are too smart.....

[QUOTE=lolo;33189448]Activision knows PC guys are too smart.....[/QUOTE] Or a minimum-wage clerk in PR shipped the wrong case. But you know, conspiracy theories are neat too.

i bet kotick personally spat on the xbox disc and sent it to PC Gamer!! what do you mean dramatic???

Although I'm mostly a console gamer, I still enjoy PC Gamer and this is fucking ridiculous.

I'm going to buy MW3 on the 12th. I can't just not buy it, its mw3.

I know they're [B]PC[/B] Gamer but can't they just do a preliminary review of the Xbox 360 version just so they have something to get out there, and make addendum later on?
