kind of a meh complaint. comparing it to other types of media is kind of a logical fallacy to begin with. Not to mention the original WW2 CoDs were long enough ago thats theres a generation of gamers that never played them so its new for them. WW2 as a genre has been covered at length in every form of entertainment media. People know the story and its not like they can reinvent the wheel on it.
This critique is almost as bad as when Tom McShea was talking to the MOH: Warfighter guy and said they should make a game thats not fun for realisms' sake. Not to mention the same people critiquing the QTE stuff seem to love it in all the Sony games.
Lets be honest here. The bulk of CoD players play these games for the MP. Most of the people I know into hardcore military shooters dont even play the campaigns. Thats why BF2 never even had one.
The whole 'earn this' trope seems like you watched Private Ryan once too many times lol.
@stuff238: yeah ok. the scorpio preorders sold out in an hour when they announced it.
its not going to shoot them ahead in the sales war but the thing is going to sell. Almost everyone I know that has an Xbox has preordered one and I'm talking like 30+ people.
Microtransactions are the fake outraged gamer item of the month.
I play mostly multiplayer games and I rarely if ever encounter things I’m forced to buy or effect the actual competitive gameplay in the games I play.
Most of it is cosmetic, which in my overall scope is first world whining. I don’t really care much about character outfits and don’t feel cheated if I don’t have one someone else was willing to buy since I have the option to buy it as well if I really want it.
In fact, for a lot of games I look at it as a good thing. I can give devs I like support to keep the games online if I choose. Like skins in Elite Dangerous.
I like microtransactions a lot more than season passes and these $100+ ultimate editions.
