You guys don't seem to get one very simple fact: developers make games that will sell. The reason we have a new Call of Duty title every other year is that they sell well. Activision has two very lucrative franchises, and of course it will milk them for as much money as it can. The REAL game is capitalism, and they guy with the most money wins.

So, if you want less rites from Call of Duty, stop buying the games. They will get the point, and make other games that will sell.

Im a anime fan. If you every need a anime recommendation just PM me. Currently watched over 280 anime.

If most gamers would grow up and stop buying -blam!- and buying the well made indie games. The gaming industry would prosper.

No, I don't want to join your group/clan/team/community.

Call of Duty is a good game. I will always buy them, for as long as I have fun playing them.

Also, if CoD is so bad why don't developers make a better one?

answer: They can't

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.

I understand I will probably be under constant 'Flaming' for saying this, but Black Ops 2 is, in my honest opinion, is a good game.

We bought ME3 too, but we managed to change it for the good. Simply neglecting to buy a game won't do any good because we can't give a real reason why so. We would just say "hurr it's the same evert year hurrr".

No real reason.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

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.

  • 12.22.2012 5:46 PM PDT

You're not going to accomplish anything Charlie. People will still blame Call of Duty for being a "Bad Game" when everyone who isn't an Elitist Prick will still play it cause they can enjoy themselves.

No, stupid developers trying to make their games into Call of Duty(Halo 4) is killing the industry.

I agree, however gamers who also complain about everything(even the small stuff) are also killing the industry.

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.
