If CoD is allowed to do the same shit 5 times and still get high reviews every year, why can't other games?
If there is one I've learned over this gen is that gamers give don't give two shits about "evolution." The vast majority of gamers like to play the same shit over and over. A few examples of games we can't get enough of and sell very well. Zelda games, mario games, Uncharted, CoD, Gears of war, God of war, Halo, the list goes on. Now, I understand that that the difference between games the first Halo and Halo reach or God of war and God of war 3 are noticeable (graphics, mechanics, etc) but it is the same formula over and over and it sells really well! One dude against immense godly odds taking everything to town or rescuing a princess 10 times in a row. I admit it, I have played all the console God of war, uncharted and tons of mario games and I still find them entertaining, even if I've done this like 50 times already
I am also always excited to see games like LBP, heavy rain or even dead island try something new or at least relatively obscure and succeed. The fans enjoy and it sells beyond expectation, even if not pulling off CoD-like sales. I like a break from the usual every now and then. When I think about it, the more i play the same old, tried-and-true games, the more i enjoy these refreshing games that rear their heads every once in a while.
Ok, this little rant made sense in my head.
