There isn't really a meme that can describe this.
What is the world coming too.

Darn and I was hoping that this would finally be the year that sales would slow down and this franchise would actually have a chance at dying. There's always next year I guess.

I wonder how many actually got to play it after getting home lol

But did they get the right game?:wanker:

I can’t see this franchise every dying, too many people just like the comfort of a game that although new is so similar they can instantly jump into it without having to learn anything new.
It’s not for me, but I certainly understand the attraction.
The only thing people might get annoyed with in the next few years could be the engine, but by then the next gen consoles will be out and the engine will be massively upgraded so even that won’t be an issue.
I have no idea how the success of this annoys other people, it really shouldn’t be difficult for people to understand not everyone likes the same stuff.

Depending on when they are out, they may only be using todays hardware, wasn’t the PS3 already a generation behind when it hit the shelves. I’ve had X Box BF3 running next to my PC and the difference is astonishing both in graphics and maps. Anyway, Black Ops (original) was the last COD I bought but still play MW2 at home on the LAN against the kids.

I stopped playing cod since cod4 on the pc (a bit of mw2 as well), ever since that it's all the same.. and it's so boring..

Was a big fan of WaW MP, better than BOps (apart from the dogs which were a pain).

ARMA is a little full on for many people, i think BF3 has a nice balance between COD and ARMA.

ARMA3, like ARMA2 will be riddled with bugs and annoyances when it comes out. The engine is nice, but hopefully the gameplay it isn't as clunky as ARMA2 is.
COD has found the basic formula for repeated success that many other games have never found. Since this is basically the same game and engine released for the 3rd or 4th time, the fans obviously don't care about ground breaking new features. For $60 they get new weapons, new sounds, new maps, a new campaign, and various changes and tweaks in modes and abilities all totaling several hundred hours per player of entertainment until next year's game comes out. This is a lower price per hour of fun than almost any other form of entertainment.

just like apple polishing turds. Myth busters proved you can polish turds.
pegasus1
Well you can roll them in glitter.
StewieTech
That is a hilarious sentence.
Mikedogg
Saw that one. But at the end of the day it was still a turd. 🤓

Yep, dress it up how you want but its still all poo.

I am happy to announce I am still enjoying Battlefield 3 and see no reason to purchase another Call Of Duty after COD4.
In other news Justin Bieber has sold in excess of over 15 million Units.

Probably has something to do with every developer thinks this is how we want to play multi weapon unlocks, perks, endless grinding and makes no attempt to do anything different even the almighty halo has now been influenced by cod
We've got a whole generation of gamers that are completely selfish and only care about shooting the other team instead of working as a team to take down objectives due to this one style of play its actually pretty sad and depressing

I admit, the commerical was really fricking kool. However it's still a noobie game with too many assists.

I don't see much hate for the sports games which are rehashed every year :P

hey, in a world where justin bieber is one of the most popular singers, anything could happen. so relax.
