There's a story!thanatos465 said:
I always thought of it as a long tutorial, or maybe long isn't the right word. Anyhow its sad truth that only about 20% of the people who buy the game play the campaign.
Im guessing you found yourself in the " most" category.Fr said:
My gramma sucks for a reason. And this is all i will indulge into ze trollbait monsiour nitpicker.
If Free Radical (Crytek UK) made a game I would probably buy it. The developers matter a lot to me.
This is also true for Rockstar, Valve, Bungie, EPIC, Volition, and recently Gearbox.

The worst is that the game is really short, they could give it a shot. If it was a really LONG game with more then 20 hours I would understand why players who dont care much for the singleplayer wouldnt give it a try.sephiroth1991 said:
i dont care who makes the game. if it says CALL OF DUTY on the box i expect it to be the same or better quality than the game that came before it. and black op has made atleast one step backwards with the memory leaking/lag thing. maybe if the lag went away so i could play the game i could actually find out if the game is better or worse than mw2
1 man doesn't change how the whole company operates. Blizzard are still making amazing games with him as the CEO.Autofaux said:
Also as long as the games are picking up sales then is really no problem. A franchise is only truly being milked when games drop to the level of say... Sonic.
As others have stated, the vast majority of those who buy Call of Duty just do no matter the principles, developer, or if in fine print the game admittedly gave the player an STD, even. Many of this demographic specifically pin their iron-sights on practically sexualizing their thrilling, kill/teabag/act subhuman ritual. Consequentially, we all suffer directly by their presence, and indirectly because they absentmindedly throw their money at the next "big thing" at the counter like a video game stripclub. This resultsin the proliferation of trite and vapid games not just by Activision, but those who attempt to copy their footsteps.
Personally, I thought that Blackops looked more Modern Warfare 2 than COD4, and as someone who is in it for the single player, that has left me apathetic regarding this new title. It looks far better than MW2 though, so I may give it a rental just to see how the single player pans out. The scant online portions that I've seen leave me without any desire to bother with the multiplayer, however.

This is the same as a few years ago concerning Harmonix. I've heard people that have played Guitar Hero 1 and 2 say that they're "sticking with the franchise because it was the originator of the idea." While this is true of the franchise, it was Harmonix that dominated rhythm games with Guitar Hero 1 and 2 before selling the name to Activision and starting the Rock Band IP.
This means that Harmonix developed the guitar, they developed the other instruments and they continue to innovate in new and exciting ways. It saddens me to hear about people that just look at games, and not the studios behind them.
