  1. I haven't. I am not planning on playing it either(at least I won't spend any money on it, if I play it at a friends I wont say no). I am mostly talking about the franchise as a whole anyways. Also I have no hard feelings towards anyone who plays and/or enjoys this game, I joke about it but I don't dislike anyone because he/she/it plays CoD, I just dislike the game.

  2. Would have been around 80$ if I would buy it through Steam for me(€ =! $ STEAM).

     

    It is getting so much hate for several reasons.

     

    It is popular, in fact, it is the most popular. Some people just can't stand the fact something/-one is successful or desperately try to be different.

     

    It is nothing new. For someone new to this franchise this won't matter, but for someone who has played previous titles it is simply not worth the 60$. I am not saying nothing has changed, there have been changes(minor ones at that) but that alone is simply not worth the money you are paying. Now, that in itself isn't a problem since we can just apply the good ol' "don't like it, don't buy it". But sadly that is not how most people work, according to many people their opinion is LAW and must be forced upon everybody.

     

    It sets a bad example(and this is where my frustration lies). Call Of Duty is ridiculously popular and hugely profitable. And this sets a bad example for other developers. It says that you do not need to innovate to be successful(in fact doing something new can hurt the sales, Cod3). It says that PC gaming is not a market worth the money or time. It says that an addicting Multiplayer is a lot more important than an engrossing Singleplayer(for the record, to me both are EQUALLY as important in general). It says that the game should be focused around making it as accessible as possible to new players rather than enjoyable for hardcore gamers/fans of the franchise(I don't think games should be made only for hardcore gamers/fans of the franchise. Accessibility is a very important part of a game, however hardcore gamers or the existing fanbase should NOT be neglected).

    And lastly, it being so well known and big, Call of Duty represents Gaming as a whole to many non-gamers. Giving the impression that video games are nothing more but toys for children and mindlessly shooting blandly copied NPC's over and over.

  3. Claustrophobia, I avoid elevators when possible. My brother knows this, so whenever we are fighting about something and he gets me on the ground without me being able to move I totally panic and surrender. Fun thing is, I also know that my brother has Arachnophobia and gets scared shitless whenever near a spider :twisted:

     

    Spiders do creep me out a little but when you think about it, what should be more afraid? A 1 gram arachnid in a foreign environment or a massively evolved mammal 60,000 times it's mass?

     

    Phobias and logic don't go hand in hand :P
