MW2 - why are people STILL playing?

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Well, apparently....and try to stay with me on this....some people enjoy things that you don't like.

And flame war in 3...2...1...(NOTE TO MODS: I do not encourage, nor do I participate in, flame wars. The last part of this post is meant only to state a fact, not to show my endorsement of an unfortunate, but inevitable, event.)

Because it's digital crack. (shakes)

I only play it cuz my other games keep crashing.

 

[DeadSpaced]

As everybody has touched on here, they keep playing because, presumably, they're still enjoying it.

And this isn't a "singling out" of ME2, I know plenty of people who have wrung the last drops of enjoyment out of a title long after I've had my fill of it.

You know what? In some ways I'm jealous of those people (at least financially) that seem to "get the most" out of their games. I generally can't stick with a game more than a single playthrough, and I'm generally bouncing two or three games at all times.

My wallet would thank me if I shared the standpoint of the people the original poster is discussing.

I think it's pretty fun honestly although I wouldn't buy it this late in the game, just wait for black ops to come out and get that.

DON'T TEST ME!

 

[viranimus]

Im surprised... 3 pages and no one said "Because Black ops isnt out yet"

If I missed it, sorry, but I looked and didnt see it.

You should try more heroin.

[slarrs]

You're basically asking why people enjoy FPS games....

Online gives both great senses of comradery and competition. And, well, sometimes it's fun to kill things. Even if you don't enjoy COD you probably kill things in some other game... Online gives and almost infinite replay value... in theory. Of course some people get bored of it quickly. Other people probably haven't played anything since it was released.

Because people like it....get over yourself, it doesn't affect you.

Obviously it does effect him, or he wouldn't have posted.

Yea, modern warefare 2 killed his family.

It's a great game you stupid jackass. Stop making threads.

Well you seem to not have much of an argument.

MW2 is kinda like Potato chips: bite size satisfaction,easy to dig in but hard to stop.

*Black ops would be like a new flavor of potato chips from Lays: Same thing, taste a bit different,but still difficult to put down.

 

[shadyh8er]

Its fun...that is all.

I know but... why? How can it be fun after nearly a year? I've played it a friend's house and I was bored after 20 minutes.
though your right, it's probably just people's opinions.

Oh please! I've played RE4 34 times! I can easily believe that there are ppl out here who like MW2 as much as that!

 

[MrGalactus]

Because there isn't a MW3 yet.
DURRR!! Because its a fad! Eventually after MW92347562345 They'll stop selling and exploit some other franchise.

 

[ethaninja]

Umm, probably because we like it? I don't know something like that. For eg: Why are people still playing Doom? Because it's one of the few games I enjoy.

Eh, tried it before, got underwhelmed. My friends stopped shooting up and I didn't want to be alone while doing it, so I stopped.
