@DraconisRex I'm not 'rooting for EA', I'm just rooting against idiocy.
The people who say that every shooter is CoD or every RTS is Starcraft or every racing game is NFS / Gran Turismo / Test Drive / (insert favorite racing franchise) etc. ad nauseum.... Is just idiotic.
Pardon the HELL out of me for being anti- ignorance. So sorry to have offended you. Kindly go back to shouting at all the 12 year olds on WoW how it invented the MMO. I'll be here, in grownup land.
@Senor_Kami They're popular because they're easy (ie convenient)
WoW is easy to pick up and WTFpwn, as is CoD. Played both to try em out. CoD is at least entertaining, but I stand by my opinion. CoD and it's massive success is killing the games industry. Other companies try to emulate the super popular games by emphasizing production values over actual storytelling and gameplay, and the stupid people who buy the games when they are virtually identical year to year aside from different maps show Activision that they don't have to even try to innovate. Ultimately, you get companies spending millions of dollars producing a game with subpar gameplay because people care more about 'omgpretty' than actual gameplay.
@vault-boy @Henrique2324 You did NOT just accuse Bethesda of having a soul. Do you not know of the vicious anal rape they are committing on the PS3 community with Skyrim? Or Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Oblivion?
@Senor_Kami It's not about one game being similar to another. It's about Zynga blatantly stealing 95% of their game from the Sims Social. I'm not even going to address the second part of that statement as I suspect there will be a wall of 'omgyouserious' soon enough.
@StarkJJ Holy shit, just when I thought this couldn't get dumber. Battlefield was an attempt to cash in on CoD?
Because it's SOOOOOOO similar to CoD, right?
Why don't you go on some World of Warcraft forum and cry that every MMORPG is a WoW clone. Cause you know.... CoD invented the FPS just like WoW invented the MMO.... and it's of course impossible to have 2 games with a similar concept and yet drastically different gameplay.
@vault-boy LOL. Are you one of those people who sees a game with guns and screams 'OMG COD CLONE!' ?
The Battlefield series is not even remotely similar to the vast majority of shooters out there. Need for Speed? Really?
So all racing games are the same, huh? Do you even know what a 'genre' is? Because to try and say that Battlefield and NFS are copies of any other game kinda suggests you don't get the concept of a first person shooter, racing game, etc.
