I do wonder sometimes if writers know what they are saying. I bet this guy says these things and then will give the next Call of Duty 9/10. There is nothing new in each CoD entry, less in any FPS that differs from it. The 'differences' are based about the characters and story and if it's 1 demo they are going off, they are the ones who are uninspired.
Games that are linear doesn't mean the game is bad. See Uncharted series and the Gear of War series. Both have linear campaigns, you go in that direct and shoot everything in your way yet they certainly aren't bad games. |
I think new franchises get harsher treatment. If you're a CoD fan, you know what to expect, one game to the next. A huge change is messing with a proven formula. But an all new title has the chance to innovate. It's like almost every MMO that came out for the last several years. Back in the days of EQ/SWG/Shadowbane there were huge variances from one to the next. Then we began a period of WoW clones. Every 'new' game copying so many of WoW's mechanics, making them boring, and die off. If people want that, they'll play WoW, because they do it best.
Likewise, If you want to enter the territory of GoW, you need to do it better. Or innovate something. Giving people what they want is good, but giving them what they already have only works if you make it notably better. That's why a new Halo/CoD sells so much more than a shooter that clones them. I'm invested in the Halo storyline, if I want a shooter of that type, I buy Halo. You wanna pull me to another franchise, it needs to stand out.

You never really know how gripping this game is. Its atmosphere and enemies as well as its secondary fire might make you love it even more than Gears or Uncharted.
