God I want this franchise to die out |
I used to feel the same way. but it is what it is. people still seem to like the gameplay. I personally dont, but others seem too. I do think that the next gen will be the best time for another shooter to try and take the crown. we will see.

I honestly feel that CODs success has actually done more harm to the industry then good and seeing it go the way of Guitar Hero would put such a huge smile on my face. but thats another thread and another discussion
|
Harmed the industry? How? By bringing in billions of dollars every year?
|
By being the only game millions of gamers play so they don't step out and try/buy new different games. It hurts the industry when a chunk of gamers stop buying anything but the same game every year.
|
So its guilty of being fun and addicting? Here's a thought, developers should try and create fun original games instead of trying to copy COD. Maybe then people will buy their games instead.....
(1)Do you seriously think that if Call of Duty stopped releasing that people would buy something else? Many wouldn't buy anything at all and many would just move on to something like Battlefield. Not everyone is into video games as much as you are. Not everyone wants to buy dozens of games a year. (2)I don't see what the problem is with people buying only 1 or 2 games a year.

1- Of course not, if COD stopped being made they would throw their 360's into a fire of course.
2- We were talking about COD hurting the "industry", not hurting Activision. If COD leads to less game sales of different developers & publishers games then that hurts the "industry", plain & simple.

What? I really don't understand what you're trying to say.
Call of Duty hurts the industry, but if they stopped making it then it would only hurt Activision? LOL
Call of Duty sells millions of consoles a year. Call of Duty keeps stores like Gamestop operational. Call of Duty keeps the video game industry mainstream.
