They're trying to make her cool by getting a producer to make a dance song and then putting her voice on it.

If someone here has played any of the Brothers in Arms games, explain why they aren't the most popular FPSs around instead of Call of Duty.

Because popular is an opinion.

You loved them, but other people didn't,maybe even for the same reasons that you loved, they hated them.

I played it once and thought that it was a COD clone made with extra drama. As a rule you can't make a game more popular another one by copying it.

You probably played the first one, that was similar to the first 2 CoD games. There are 2 more, and they were very, very different from CoD.

Never heard of them. I guess this would be a prime example how an entire IP can be ruined for people because of the first impression from the first game.

The one I played was indeed at the era of COD 1 gaming (the only good COD game in my opinion). back then Brother in Arms was advertised as a realistic ww2 shooter and not sugarcoated COD game, but after trying it to me it seemed like it was sugarcoated with arcade just as much as COD, but they put so much sickening melodrama in the campaign, that I uninstalled it after 30 minutes of play.

If I remember correctly the series has a great love for Melodrama. But then again, it's a WW2 game.

Because CoD is a stupid shooter, while bros in arms have actually some story to it, I thought that was obvious.

So your point is people like crappy games more, in general? No, I don't quite agree. Call of Duty is the one puzzling example of people liking a dumbed down game more than the alternatives.

The only CoD I've really enjoyed would be CoD4. You can't even consider W@W as an attempt at a video game, MW2 was pretty underwhelming, Blops was terrible and now I'm a Battlefag. I've played Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway and it was interesting but the gameplay became a bit redundant after a while.

A story where everyone is bitching and moaning and crying and moan some more? Hell, COD is perhaps a stupid shooter, but Brother in Arms had a stupid story.

I have never been hungrier in the AM than this before. My friend and I keep talking about going to Dominoes and getting pizza's, garlic bread and choc lava cakes. He then sent me pictures of Krispy Kreme donuts (which aren't available in my city) and KFC fried chicken.

Lol then get some food? That seems like a pretty easy fix

It's 3:38am.
Everyone's asleep.
My house is pretty small.
No small things to eat (like biscuits).

metro. · « **Reply #2837 on:** December 15, 2011, 06:43:48 PM »

Why are you awake at 4AM?

That seems like a better question at this point.

Dale08 · « **Reply #2838 on:** December 15, 2011, 06:47:41 PM »

My body clock is screwed up. I can't get to sleep any earlier. I tried going to bed at 8PM last night, only to wake up at 11PM because my body didn't want to sleep. So here I am.

metro. · « **Reply #2839 on:** December 15, 2011, 06:52:56 PM »

Hahaha 8PM?

I find that when that happens to me, the best thing to do is slowly make the change back in hour of half hour increments. Of course, that doesn't always work...
