You're serious? Are you aware of how cash cows work? The reason they pump out FPS games as much as they do is because pre-teen kids and frat boys will always buy them thinking it makes them hardcore mature gamers. That's the demographic FPS games cater to. Guess what? They're both loud, obonoxious, and usually retarded. The market is saturated with so many FPS games I can't even name all of them that came out this year alone. Something is wrong with that.
To put it simply, if people stopped buying every FPS game that came out, maybe we could get some actual originality into this dying media. Until then...keep fattening Kotick's greedy wallet.
You kidding me? Are you aware of how cash cows work? Yes, COD makes a pomegranate ton of money, but it's one game a year. One. Not 5. Use a better example like Guitar Hero. Go peach about that. They could easily spit out 4 COD games a year, but Treyarch and Infinity Ward acutally take pride in making great games. If you're seriously bitching about how people buy pomegranate to entertain themselves, there's something wrong with you. I'm sorry, I play COD and all my friends are neither loud, obnoxious or retarded. While I do agree that people think they're fucking "Hardcore" cause they're good at COD or think they're a fucking Marine or some stupid pomegranate, I know a ton of people that just play the game because it's simple fun. Yes, the market is full of shitty shooters, but don't clump them with COD which is one of the most successful shooters created.
The market is saturated with so many Family/Minigame games I can't even name all of them that came out this year alone. Something is wrong with that.
The market is saturated with so many RPG games I can't even name all of them that came out this year alone. Something is wrong with that.
The market is saturated with so many Adventure games I can't even name all of them that came out this year alone. Something is wrong with that.
People won't stop buying COD, it's not happening any time soon.
