Not at all.

It's developers who can't see that creating CoD clones won't make them competitive. Now taking things that CoD does well and implementing them into your ideas to entice new players is another thing, but just creating a flat out twitch ADS clone of CoD won't get you anywhere.


*sigh*

Those dev's do so because gamers but those games. They're just asking hat sells.


Well I think I've accurately deciphered this.

I can see the point you're trying to make, but the devs giving in creates a stagnant industry. Look at Skyrim, for example. That managed to amass a mainstream following despite being nothing like the best selling game. People will cling to what they have until they find something different that they equally enjoy.


Dev's who don't make games people will buy go out of business. It is the same reason why most smartphones look like iPhones. iPhones sell. From the business angle, they are just meeting consumer demands.

If CoD stopped selling, you would see another franchise take the lead, and they will get their game copied.


I can agree with that. I remember when Turok 2008 attempted to go for Halo.

Forcing complete change doesn't work when it isn't needed


Which is precisely why I despise Halo 2.

I wouldn't buy an indie game in a million years. I wouldn't even touch an App Game. They're going to cause a second video game market crash.

Not implying that. If most AAA gaming companies would stop thinking indie games are trash and don't deserve any rewards.
The gaming industry would improve.


Implying arcade games are bad.

Why would I stop buying COD games? Now that Halo sucks, COD is the only FPS that is playable


We now witness the multiplayer infatuated drone in his natural habitat.

Watch as it performs a futile dance to attract a mate.


Well youre correct. I do only care for multiplayer. I play video games for competition. No need to act so arrogant.


Then perhaps you shouldn't have made such a general, overarching statement?


General statement. Its obviously just my opinion.

Its my opinion that Halo is now terrible and unplayable. And it pains me to say that because halo 1-3 was the most fun ive ever had on a video game. Even during reach I had alot of fun. But Halo 4, its just a COD copy.

If I wanted to play COD, I'd play it.

So now I do. I play Black ops 2 instead of its retarded cousin (halo 4)

People need to realize COD has a good formula in terms of gameplay, all they do is just change the parts that compliment it. It isn't a bad thing, why fix what isn't broken? And plus it still keeps the game refreshed. Forcing complete change doesn't work when it isn't needed, just look at the progression of Halo 3 through Reach and 4.


^this

Its the same reason why I love Madden and NHL. They change little things and make the games better, yet keep the core gameplay.

Arcade games aren't bad, I have arcade games on my Xbox, you know that. I'm talking about Indie and App games. Those departments are way over saturated with companies and games that no one wants to deal with. It's eventually going to fall, and a lot of resources invested in those will be lost.

Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

It'll never happen. Never.

I know just joking. That's what I meant about Well Made
indie games.

I have yet to play one that's good.

I downloaded a hangman indie game for Xbox, it just reused the same four words over and over again....

But you have to realise the fact that some really good indie games are never going to receive any acknowledgement because games like Cod are hogging the spotlight.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

I haven't bought a Call of Duty since MW2. MW2 out of all my gaming I can say that was the most horribly balance game I have ever played.

I haven't bought Black Ops II. It's not exactly due to a boycott or anything but I just find the game to be immensely shallow and utterly boring.

There is this magical thing called PC games if you want to play a competitive game other than cod. Stop complaining about it when there are other options.

The indie game marketplace on Xbox is for the most part, completely -blam!-. Go play something like Intrusion 2 or Bastion.
