i'm just glad i'm not crippled and can enjoy all types of games and not have to defend one type and attack all other types.
I would wager for every player playing some antiquated platformer on a crappy emulator, there are 100 players playing CoD. Just CoD. Add the millions of players worldwide across all first person shooters, and you'll find that you are very far in the minority. God of War's recent release is a perfect example. In the 2 months it has been out it has sold less copies than Black Ops 2 has sold in the last week. Platformers are shit games that are played by a niche crowd. Your argument is dead and has no basis in reality, give it up.

Hahah, no doubt. As obviously the number of people buying is the only metric that he goes by, I'm sure he does nothing but eat McD's and drink nothing but Budweiser and Coca-Cola. As obviously since things like Sushi, Steak, and such are for losers who are into niche stuff. Oh, and Ferraris/Lambos are for fools, the Toyota Corolla is the only car worth buying. Oh, and American Idol is waaaaaaay better than Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or anything else in the history of the universe. For that matter, 'Twilight' movies are infinitely better than garbage like Fight Club.
"Oh I saw 15 seconds of in engine footate; I can tell this game is going to suck already" - morons who just jump on the hate bandwagon.
They got a good writer to do the story (and directing I think), so the single player should be pretty good. The new engine should be impressive, at least more so than the previous CoDs. I liked the dog and the detail, but I have been burned by a certain Peter M. and his dog before!
So.... someone who saw 15 seconds of footage and thinks it sucks = Moron and someone who saw 15 seconds of footage and thinks it will rock = :whiste:
which is hilarious, since based on previous experience its more likely to be a top selling piece of trash than a good game :biggrin:

You're arguing current sales and popularity. That has nothing to do with longevity. God, you're dense.
You're talking about how popular games that are 3-5 years old are. That's not longevity. That's a fad. I never once argued platformers were more popular. But your assertion that they are "naked, boring games with no replayability" is completely and utterly negated by the fact that 20-25 year old games are still being released, rereleased, and selling and doing quite well. Not to mention the plethora of new IPs and franchises.
You're trying to conflate sales of games released in the last 3 years to longevity and replayability 20+ years down the line, and it's not the same thing. At all.

So, nothing shown yet at E3. Does Activision even have a conference scheduled? I figured there would be something during MS's because of the Xbox One event, but I guess not.
I don't hate Call of Duty, I just don't enjoy playing it and I laugh at the children and bros who think they're a top FPS player because they're decent at console Call of Duty. It's plebian gaming at best, appeal to the lowest common denominator and sell the shit out of it. McDonalds and Anhueiser Busch do the same thing. It works, and more power to them. If people are stupid enough to shell out between $60-$100 yearly to play, they deserve every penny they get.
Oh and the reason that people like me and others join these threads are because if someone started a thread about how Call of Duty is lame, it would probably get locked. So there's nowhere else to share their feelings on the game/series. I try not to be too insulting in my opinions of the game, but that's just how I feel.
