Is Call of Duty or Elder Scrolls dying?

These are my two favorite games and would love to here the public opinion. Please respond. I have posted a video about the topic and my opinion as well.

They are both getting older so it's only logical the popularity will drop, it will happen to every game sooner or later, it's only natural.

@destinydude: COD is supposed to be a staple...it's been around for 15 years. As for me, I cannot stand all the exosuit and wall running that advanced and infinite warfare brought us. But Ghosts, I still play. I know the new one in November is going to be all about wwii, but I think they should reach a little further, but still leave boots on the ground.

@currygaminginc You did not specify which COD? And as you were comparing it with the Elder Scrolls I assumed you meant the first COD.

A Franchise might or might not die out but any game version will be less populair over time.

When it comes to the Elder Scrolls franchise I'm becoming dubious that they will continue with the single player games, or we will probably not see another installment for many, many years. Bethesda is apparently working on three projects, none of which are Elder Scrolls 6. Zenimax is heavily pushing Elder Scrolls Online, the MMO, and they hold the purse-strings of Bethesda Studios. They could easily turn around and say they're not funding any more single player Elder Scrolls games. Thankfully there are lots of mods to try out for the Elder Scrolls games, on PC at least. I hope I'm wrong, of course, because I would love to play Elder Scrolls 6.

Having said that, I'm not seeing greatly diminishing popularity for either the Elder Scrolls or COD franchises any time soon.

@Gallowhand: Everything you said it true...I play ESO daily and I can tell how the population diminished some, but them like a ray of light, they seemed to get a lot of new players come onto the game. And the player housing helped, as well as the new dlc that came out recently. But regarding the franchise your right it will be some time, sadly so. I wonder if they will ever open the map up to Skyrim, many reds would love that, as would I. I always get excited when I find a dungeon that even resembles skyrim. lol. Here's my wish list for Elder Scrolls 6 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL48YyFmMX0&t=8s

@currygaminginc: Call of Duty 'may' one day, due to over-saturation, and Activision only looking for the green. Infinite Warfare was still one of the best selling games last year so. . . Not anytime soon, but didn't sell as well as Black Ops 3, so I feel players are getting sick of Activision (just alittle). But considering Activision put a lot of money marketing these games every single year; they may pull the plug if they get a franchise outside of Blizzard games to take CoDs place_

The Elder Scrolls is very unlikely. Bethesda have been making them since 1994, and it's not annual, so never really feels over-saturated and are different enough to have a completely different fanbase (many who love Morrowind dislike Skyrim). And then a few will say they only make bad games, but they don't. Glitchy? Certainly. . Skyrim had a lot to be desired as well on the role playing side of things, yet I'm looking forward to TESVI. I just hope they add a little more RPG to the game :)

@RSM-HQ: Me To AND WELL SAID! I appreciate everyone's opinions, keep them coming! :)

Call of Duty will be over soon thanks to its cancerous community and repetitive gameplay.

@currygaminginc:

Short answer, neither of them.

@killered3: Awwww guys, I hate to hear it, but I am afraid you might be right. Cancerous Community would be right, but keep in mind Call of Duty is like an Arcade type shooter, you know where KD is everything and playing to the objective is nothing. Battlefield has it all over COD, BUT I STILL LOVE COD. And Elder scrolls breaks my heart because I have built like a life there, it has been two years everyday playing and enjoying ESO.

AND CAN SOMEONE PULEEEEZ TELL ME WHY THERE ISN'T ANYTHING GREAT OR COMPARABLE COMING SOON? :(

No. Even though the last few CoD's haven't been the most popular, they still outsell most games. TES has a HUGE community and when TES 6 comes out, people will go nuts. Both are here to stay for a long time.

If you're looking at it from the singleplayer perspective, CoD is slowly dying, their storytelling aspect is replaced with boring antagonists and run in the mill "follow me" progressing, not allowing the player to choose to create his own storytelling despite it's linear style.

Elder Squirrels on the other hand also seems to run into the same problem. Oblivion did a better job at letting the player craft their own story but just being someone who got caught in the mix of the Oblivion Crisis as compared to Skyrim where you will always be the Dragonborn.

Both games won't die. But if they focus on multiplayer then their singleplayer fan base will.

@thedelts: See my next post about how only 1% play the campaign, so most are multiplayer players.
