Horrid marketing - COD: Goats assumes it's next-gen. Your examples

[Lieju]

If there was a COD Goats I would totally buy it...

Me too. I love goats, so adorable and funny!

Anyway, I don't get what the OP is saying. That the developers intentionally made it run on higher requirements to make people think it's better?

I know you are all waiting for a COD:goats synopsis well wait no longer

Coming this spring. a tale about truth, revenge and freedom. A lowly afghan goat herder is brutally killed by the taliban. Only his goat can avenge his death. Headbutt your way to revenge, truth and freedom as all american goat, captain Billy Gruff. Use billy to take down the T.R.O.L.L (tactical recon ordinance light launcher) and resecure the bridge in order to lead his fellow goats to freedom and truth

It will ofcourse be mo-capped:

Spoiler

Wow. That actually sounds interesting.
Activision would probably shitcan it because it's Too Creative and doesn't adhere to the Call of Duty Cliche design document.

I was actually trying to make it sound like a CoD cliche design, i am disappointed now I even used the words "all american" "truth" and "freedom". You have to give me credit for being cliche enough to use the name "billy gruff" and finding a military anagram for TROLL.

CoD would never had an afghan goat as the lead, the target demographic can't identify with that.

They need an all-American goat, possibly sold to the goat-herder, but who actually is an undercover CIA agent.

Oh I know, I saw the references to the usual dimestore "Mericn' Patriotism" you made, but I'm a fan of satire that takes something cliche' puts a surreal spin on it and plays it straight.
(wow is that difficult to describe concisely)

A vengeful goatman (or goatgirl, if you prefer) wielding military weaponry sounds awesomely hilarious and the very last thing a by-the-flowchart corporation like Activision would ever conceive of doing.

At least I didn't spoil the other twists:

Spoiler

Sergei the chicken turns out to be a triple-agent, he betrays Billy and is killed in a nuclear explosion after an extended torture-scene where he makes Billy eat his old partner and mentor Colonel Yore

Also I was a bit surprised at the reveal that Osama Bin Laden was still alive and smuggling horse-meat. I thought it jumped the shark a bit at that point.

And I didn't like the underwater-sections where you had to play as this guy:

They just seemed tacked on.

That reminds me of a miltiplayer mission I was trying to make for ArmA 2 once.

The general idea was that you'd play as a group of commando chickens, toppling the regime that shot Farmer Boris and burned down their farm. I couldn't script it properly, though. I'd love to see someone actually make a game like that.

CoD Goats? Don't you mean CoD Dogs? And really, what are you even angry at? Please make more sense of your words.

thats the PC version, we can release that later as a really bad port of the console version

So....You're mad that it has high system requirements?

Hasn't one of the many complaints that has leveled at CoD been that it recycles its engine too much?

Eh, what am I saying, its the "In" thing to hate CoD at the moment so I should expect this
