How do CoD players not notice all these flaws

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHYjqZ_9gpI&feature=channel_video_title (couldnt link)

comparing recent CoD games to the first crysis from 2007, which is what the standards should be for this gen.

dont deny the facts this whole video is the truth. Dont start trolling, dissagreeing or hating until you finish the entire video, the video is MY OPINION summed up.

What a lame video.

OMG teh physics,teh poor draw distance.
Just seems like having..you know,fun.Just mindless fun isn't enough.

What was I looking at in that video really can some one explain to me:?.

Call of Duty is not fun. A well made game is fun. I dont play Crysis that much, although its up there as one of my favorites, my most favorite games are old such as Half Life 1, Unreal Tournament 2004, and Team Fortress 2

CoD is fun, that's why it sells.

Oh wait this is System Wars...

Because they don't care about elaborating what they see in the games as long as there are TEH killstreaks and explosions to cover it all up.

The sad thing is, this is true. :(

Good for the people enjoying the game, but I've played this online and it just is NOT a good balanced game. It is actually rather poor. I'm not going to say everyone, but I get the feeling COD has this addictive take on its fans. I have friends who play it and there's always some strange vibe going on in the room when the game is being played--things tend to get very serious, as if the game is being played just so friends can see proof that a given person is at this/that level/etc.

Your not good if your getting kill streaks in CoD.. the better you do against 10 year olds on xbox, the more overpowering stuff the game rewards you with to just spawnkill everyone. Watch a few of these, these guys have skill. http://kotaku.com/5820907/the-10-best-moments-in-pro+gaming-history

They enjoy the game; gaming is about that: fun. If you have fun the flaws turn into something meaningless.

People seems to forget that fun is the final goal of gaming... and they are more and more each day that passes.

Flaws?

If you want a open game go play Farcry 2...

Physix? i dont need to be able to destroy everything around me, sure it can be fun sometimes but nothing needed.

CoD got 1000000times better/fun SP campaign than for example Battlefield even with all these "flaws" you say, end of the day i play games to have fun, is CoD fun? Hell yeaaaaah :P

Well, perhaps, maybe. The problem here is that there ARE flaws which some people rather not deal with. You can say "well if you don't like it, don't buy it" but at the same time COD has become so popular that it really does affect the entire industry. I know people that USED to be fans of the series, but after release upon release with the same errors, they've abandoned the series. What I don't understand is why a game so huge financially can't at least listen to the fan complaints/critiques. They are going to buy it regardless, but why not?

Going back to my point though, releases like COD really encourage and show developers that selling a game is more in the marketing than the product itself. COD reminds me of when Michael Jordan shoes were beyond popular, and everybody started drinking gatorade because he endorsed it.

I thought the problem with CoD was the balancing and arcadey gameplay :? I don't care about them using the same engine . Also I don't like the fact its a bit like WoW, some people that play it a lot don't seem to be enjoying themselves any more but feel invested, I can relate to that and it means its time to take a break.

Yes, marketing. McDonalds is terrible yet it still makes money as a company.

Terrible for you maybe but i like go to Mc Donalds once in awhile

[QUOTE="exiledsnake"] People who love COD still play it everyday and you don't even play Crysis that much even though its supposedly so much better. No offense but COD is certainly doing something right that Crysis isn't.aroxx_ab

Key phrase, "ONCE in a while." And even if you do like Mcdonalds, it is a FACT that it is terrible for ones body. The analogy was comparing the addictive nature of the two. Fat, salt, and sugar create an addictive substance when combined in such large amounts..........CODs developers seemed to have figure something out, that is for sure.

nope, its just fun.

you must have ridiculously high standards to not find it fun.

Same way fans of any other series will look over the flaws of their favorite game and continue enjoying they rest of the their favorite game? A better question is why can't people here can't get over the fact that people don't have to love what you like.vashkey

Because it affects the entire industry?:?

COD is awul, and yes, I know millions of people disagree with me, but millions of people are wrong.

COD is quick and easy and fast pace...some people prefer that...alot of people wont play other FPS simply because the sensetivity wont go to insane or because you cant go prone...I was like that for awhile but I got sick of how easy it was in the pubs so I started GBn...then that got old now im waitng for BF3..but almost everyone I know Is still staying on COD for MW3...Ill play both but they refuse to play a slower paced game, plain and simple,

That isn't the point. I'm not saying, "hey you stop enjoying your games." What I am saying is people need to realize when they are eating a huge cash-cow. The COD releases have been extremely lazy yet they influences the release schedule, dlc pricing, and the overall polish the consumer expects. The game consumer need to speak with their wallets, or else the industry will continue to take advantage of them. The perfect example is the 3DS. It was priced high, but perhaps too high. The consumer as a whole told nintendo essentially, "that is not right" and spoke with their wallets. What happened? Nintendo ACTUALLY LOWERED THE PRICE. Wait a second, the consumer spoke up and a company listened? Apparently.

Imo, the kids have become so addicted to all things surrounding COD that I bet if the game was released at $99 w/a $9.99/month elite service thing, these kids would still buy it. THAT I find quite sad.

They're in it for the fun. Gaming is a hobby to most people. They shouldn't have to worry about weather the industry or their favorite game series "advances". Not everyone is concerned with the philisophy or politics of gaming and there's nothing wrong with that.

I just wish the video would have attacked the gameplay more than the graphics.

People maybe not complained about the 3DS price, maybe they not event want DS 1.5 with bad 3D effect slapped on it+ lack of games...

Let all CoD haters be hating, it is apparently more people that love CoD to make it the biggest game in the industry. It is not that people cant see these "flaws", it is more like small things that is unimportant to majority of players to make a game fun and entertaining(which is only reason we play games right?).

[QUOTE="Heirren"]

[QUOTE="vashkey"] Well, it's not like Call of Duty is any more or less harmful to you than any other videogame so the analogy fall slat on it's face. Not to mention if you choose to you can eat healthy at McDonalds. aroxx_ab

I apologize but I did not understand the majority of your post. What I did gather from it was that it is okay to release yearly rehashes? COD almost holds a Madden esque share of the fps market. Is it okay for sports games to be released every year, that are essentially the same game? I've bought one Madden this gen, last years game. I enjoy it. It is a quality game, but will I buy this years? I really doubt it. Fact of the matter is that COD releases, like them or not, are essentially download content. Wouldn't you rather buy a COD game and have the developer give you a new campaign for say $15-20, with occasionally supplying you with a few new maps/multiplayer features for $5-10?
