Poll: MW2 Boycotters question.

[magicmonkeybars]

Didn't care for it to begin with so no difficulty not buying it.

 

[Irridium]

I bought it, but then again I never said I would boycott it.

 

[CrafterMan]

*golf clap*

Go you.......

I bought this game, and enjoyed it, just...a decent game.

 

[Eleade]

Err I know nothing of a boycot, but no I didn't get it. Just doesn't interest me in the least. I tried it once but I don't know, I generally dislike playing online against complete strangers, they tend to be arseholes and make me lose faith in humanity.

 

[Bob_Marley42]

I didn't buy it and I havent played it. I'm pretty sure I'm the only person I personally know who didn't buy it on one platform or another. I know I havent made a difference, but at least I know I've stuck to my principles.

 

[DJude]

No, i just borrow it from my friend whenever i get bored with my current online games...

 

[Master Kuja]

Didn't buy it, didn't pirate it.
At one point, I was ALMOST tempted to buy it, ALMOST.
But I resisted and I feel like a much better/purer person for it.

 

[Weaver]

Didn't buy it and didn't pirate it either! I played though the single player on one of my roommates PC's while he was away for the weekend (with his permission, of course!). It was fun, but the story was TERRIBLE. I was just laughing at how little sense it made.

I never tried multiplayer. For one my roommate instructed me "don't play online on my account!" so I didn't, but with IWNET there's no way I'd ever fucking go near that thing anyways.

The problem with these boycotts is that the majority are just whining and complaining.

A boycott means not partaking of something.

Bot buying it used as a "FUCK YOU!"
Not pirating it as a "FUCK YOU!"
Not hacking it as a "FUCK YOU!"

All you're doing is saying "I really want to play this, but I need to justify it."

I mean kudos to those who have yet to play it, but the rest of you, just shut up about it already.

Buying a game used is the perfect way to say "FUCK YOU" to a company. Especially if you never said you were going to boycott it, but still want to send a message. Nothing pisses companies like Activi$ion off more than knowing people are playing their products, and they aren't making a single cent from it.

Meh, with a couple of good mates the multiplayer can be a blast. Single-player and spec-ops were a tad medicore, but both have their merits.

Not that it matters anymore, I now have Mass Effect 2 ^^.

I didn't get it, I was looking forward to Call of Pripyat much more, and so far I have sunk about 10 hours into it, and I got it on Friday evening, and I had work for 9 hours on Saturday.
So for less of a quater of the price I got a game that is longer (I am not even in Pripyat yet) and incredibly deep.

A freind pirated it, but his apathy for the game was such that he istalled it then played it about a week later for 20 mins before giving up and coming out for a smoke with me.

I was never really on the boycott wagon, sicne if your boycotting somthing it means you intended to buy it, and I was never all that excited about it.

 

[Klepa]

I told myself that I wouldn't buy it, and I didn't. My main reason was the dedicated servers. I never raised my voice about it, or joined any boycotts. Just voted with my wallet.

 

[Bretty]

I downloaded it... and glad I did. BC2's MP beta is already so much more fun than MW2.

 

[PrimoThePro]

meh. spec ops was okay, and therefore justified me getting it for realsies

 

[Cody211282]

Didn't buy it but played it at a friends house, and it wouldnt have been worth the $60 anyways, maybe $20 but I doubt it will go that low

 

[Beartrucci]

I haven't bought it, I borrowed it off my cousin yesterday but that was only to see if my internet lags at all. Seeing as I always had green bars I am now going to buy Bad Company 2, which I played at a friends house and enjoyed quite a bit.

Well guys, it's been 103 days since MW2 release (counting today).

Who did not cave in to the pressure of the games release. As in who kept their promises to themselves in the end.

I can proudly say I did not, and here's the link to my 2 STEAM pages as proof of lack of purchase.

... why do we need proof that you didn't purchase it?

Or are you just taking an unneccesary step in proclaiming that you didn't?

At any rate, I rented MW2, but then, I never made a claim I wouldn't buy it or play it or whatever.

MW2 is not as good as the original MW, but none of that matters because none of them are as good as battlefield.

Links was purely in case a troll said "BS".
