[ALL] Why do we hate Call of Duty?

[Primetime]

I know Ghosts is doing a lot more Co-op stuff Jay, according to their reveal anyway.

I hate it for the reason people talk shit about sports games. With sports you're getting a roster update to keep it current with whats going on in that particular sport. With a COD though it is literally a shooter with a new-ish setting. Got old very quick. I stopped really playing after BLOPS. I also come from the SOCOM days so I am will always be a bigger supporter of games that involve teamwork. Which is why I loved MAG. You can potentially still be a one man wrecking crew, but you aren't gonna do your team any favors as far as your objectives are concerned playing it that way

As a COD regular, I am glad they make minor improvements. All I really want is some new weapons, new maps, and new killstreaks. Most people who play COD religiously have their friends list full of people who do the same thing, so they really couldn't care less what all the outsiders think about the game.

That's still a stupid reason to "hate" something. Just don't buy it.

No worries. I don't.

No worries. I don't.

Neither do I...but it's still a stupid reason to hate something.

I can't get upset at Activision about CoD. They're sitting on a gold mine, and people keep lining up to throw money at them. Why would they risk losing those people (and their money) with massive iterations each year?

If anything, I think I'm more disheartened at the amount of people who continually go out an buy games like CoD and Madden, complain about how they haven't improved enough, and buy it again the next year.

This, but I can at least understand Madden. With the franchise exclusive agreement, we have no other options for an NFL game. For COD, there are PLENTY of other shooters out there to choose from.

And none of those other options come close to CoD, according to most gamers.

Which is why people hate it cuz your everyday gamer is retarded

 

[Primetime]

Yea, most people are retarded...it's not you, it's them. :dd:

And your everyday gamer keeps Kingdom Hearts still out here. So, let's call the whole thing off.

And your everyday gamer keeps Kingdom Hearts still out here. So, let's call the whole thing off.

Your everyday gamer had probably never heard of kingdom hearts. The best games out are usually the ones that ventures away from the norm

 

[KNUBB]

Wharf casual gamer even touches a JRPG. This was good conversation until we started attacking me. The best part is attacking me doesn't make you right. Said nothing but truth

That's not the point. The big games allow the little games to exist. It's just like movies. Kingdom Hearts wouldn't exist if it weren't for big names like, oh, I don't know, Final Fantasy.

 

[Primetime]

If MW3 came out in 2007 and was the first of the MW series, people would have a very similar reaction to that of CoD4. They can't innovate a game so much every single time a new game is made. The difference from CoD3 to 4 was HUGE. There's no reason to take the risk of changing everything. They took advantage of it for 3 games, now they are making a big leap again.

There were shooters well before COD. The chrono series was a bigger success than final fantasy by a large consensus. COD wouldn't exist without Goldeneye. We could do this all night

 

[KNUBB]

Also as far as kingdom hearts is concerned; it was a critical and financial success the moment it was released and self sustained. It pretty much saved final fantasy considering that series has been struggling since 10

Let's also be real, the platformer, nor the JRPG, nor the FPS, has changed in like 20 years. So let's not act like it's about how well studios make new shit.

Doubtful. On all accounts.
