| Mummelmann said: Then call me ignorant because I don't think Splatoon looks interesting at all (I really, really can't be arsed with CoD either, not since Modern Warfare). The gameplay looks slow and uninteresting and the whole concept just doesn't speak to me. If they were to release something like Timesplitters on the Wii U; I'd eat that up in an instant but I don't think will appeal to the vast majority of shooter fans and it has more to do with mechanics and concept and less to do with its cartoony style and people being mentally uncapable of appreciating different things (Borderlands is also cartoony, same for Team Fortress 2 and aforementioned Timesplitters). (Oh, and someone mentioned "CoD" and "tactics" in the same sentence; I just have to add that this is ridiculous thinking, CoD is 100% twitching and frag chasing, there are literally zero tactics involved, which is among the main reasons it doesn't interest me in the slightest. ) This whole "if you don't play what Nintendo is offering on their platforms; there's something wrong with you" schtick is getting a bit tired from where I'm sitting, I'm sure people could be saying the same about other franchises on other platforms. This, paired with the "PS4 is winning only because it's the "it" thing and nothing else" takes me back to the "Wii is a fad for soccer moms and children" days, it really does. PS: I think everyone should just let CoD players do their thing, stop them poluting the voice chat in other games... |
I wasn't saying people who don't like Splatoon are ignorant.
Anyways, like I told someone earlier, I'm not claiming to know absolutes. Obvoously the situation differs from person to person. And I also wasn't just talking about Nintendo games. People can like what they like, but I'm just saying that it's the case for many people out there that they feel like playing CoD makes them more "manly" than if they were to play something like Tearaway. It's just how the world is, since it expects us to just mold into these antiquated archetypes rather than doing/liking what we want.
