Oh hey, this is a new thing.

Too bad I stopped caring about first person shooters in 1999. :effort:

I don't get it. What is there to care about in a game where it's mostly about aiming the cursor on the opposite side and pulling the trigger? Does the setting of the whole deal really make a bit of difference anymore? This could be set on the beach of Normandy and it probably wouldn't change how you interact with the environment around you. There's no good point to exploration, because it's all about killing people. That's what these games are about, right? Fast-paced action and fast-paced rewards, with maybe some sort of leveling up system to keep you invested.

And then we have Bobby Kotick, the man who promised to take the fun out of gaming.

If you buy video games regardless of quality, if you feel depressed because you missed out on a "limited edition" video game, if you spend hundreds of dollars on a "rare" game which can be bought via digital means for 1/10th of the price then you've got a problem.

Well, or a hardcore collector.

Doesn't make sense when it is not a part of a series, though.
