Or did the consumers?

I often find myself comparing top games and realize that they are pretty much very similar or almost identical, and yes call of duty usually steals the ideas from one game and puts it into effect in their game. Like jeez, idk, call of duty basically copied Titan falls player movement and put it in advanced warfare and essentially made consumers forget about Titan fall.



Then they display it to the world and parade it around like "much great, such awesome, graphics sick, revolutionize gaming we did"

And all the Doritos and Dew 420xxxnoscopexquickscopexxyolo cretins of the video game world flock to it like flies on crap boosting the call of duty franchise revenue and forcing the hand of other franchises to meet the standard to attract the idiotic COD fanboys.

I mean really, any half brained chimp with one arm can learn how to play cod as it's just "go here, shoot that".





shockod said:

Whatever happened to involved story lines that made you think, interactive character development, and plots that always thicken?



shockod said:

Whatever happened to multiplayer that is fair and balanced where every player is on a level playing field....

This is why I really only play battlefield now, it's truly the only well balanced multiplayer experience out there. And let's face it, the battlefield community is much more mature and intelligent.





before getting into the rest of your post, yes, its always this.ok, but that's the consumer's fault. Its basically what Apple does. When you own the market image, you dictate when something is "new". Apple always lags behind in new tech, but everyone thinks the new products are revolutionary. and consumers cant be bothered to care what's what.that said, COD used to be revolutionary. they totally trumped MOH at their own game and COD4 (for all it borrowed from BF2), was really the first of it's kind.either way, i fail to see how this "ruined" vdieo games. the top shooter franchises always operated like this, and this only affects shooters anyways, not other genres.welcome to market dominance.not COD's fault, its the consumers.now you just sound bitter. Why? If you dont like it, dont play it. And the game is more complex than that, you just sound like a hater, to be honest.CoD got to where it is on exemplary game play. it has deteriorated since, but you really sound ignorant of what CoD is and used to be.you act like this ever happened in shooters? it was always rare to have great stories, and character development? Its a shooter, not an RPG. what are we comparing it too? if we're talking about complex story driven shooters, we get maybe one of those a year, and usually from indie studios. no one complained about quake or UT or CS or BF having no campaing or derivative campaigns, because they were there for multiplayer. as is CoD.you act like CoD 4's story didnt blow you away. which is fine, but for most people, it did.this you can kind of blame CoD and BF the same, they both started the arms race of "how many guns can we fit into a game" problem that plagues too many shooters and upsets balance. but this was a long time coming ever since arena shooters died.oh, so this is just you being smug...BF hasnt been well balanced since BC2, and as someone who left the COD community....its honestly way more mature than the whining hackusators BF has.
