[quote name='Binary001']To insinuate that all people who play CoD are sheep is a little.... biased? Ever think that maybe people truly enjoy the titles? I am a big fan of both CoD and the Battlefield series. They both have their ups and downs. Neither are perfect, neither are terrible. If I'm in the mood to get slaughtered by some vehicles, I load up some Battlefield. If I'm in the mood to try and be a one man team, I can load up some CoD. Don't enjoy it? That's fine. But to insinuate that anyone who does is a sheep is just sad. "Haters gonna hate" is relevant I'd say.
At any rate, I look forward to this title and have my fingers crossed that it does a good job of bringing the console experience to a handheld. I have a feeling it won't be what everyone WANTS, but hopefully a lot of people will be willing to adapt to the limitations of a handheld and still find enjoyment in it.[/QUOTE]I've seen it 1st hand when I shop kids just saying well "it's what all my friends have mom buy this". I got lil cousin's with no game skills but they flock to whatever is being advertised even after I tell them that the series isn't that good so they still get games that are $20 MSRP in 3 months b/c they don't listen.
I have no biased towards COD, BF or MOH since I own all of them & have played not 1 second of any of them. They sit in my backlog still sealed waiting for me. People flock to what's popular sometimes "just because" no different than music/movies where mainstream pulls the strings...I saw avengers & there where old ladies watching it just based of the hype just like Batman TDK but you could tell by their responses/questions during the movie they weren't true fans just people caught in the rush.
