This is a fair point. If what it takes is "The Last pAirBenders" to get kids interested in science and tear 'em away from the latest Call of Duty for five minutes, I can support that.

This being said, my own teenage daughter thought the pic of the dunes on the comet was very cool, even without someone using the Force to sculpt them, so it's not quite THAT dry.

Screw killing an airport of civilians. Give me this in the next Call of Duty.

Might not be a bad idea. We should invent some massive war on a deserted island and convince all the dumbass gangbangers to go out there and shoot each other . . . . At least they'll stop playing Call of Duty . . .

I don't think it's about budget at all. I think it's about catering to the lowest common denominator. The kind of people who watch America's Got Talent every week or buy Call of Duty ever year. Movie posters use templates because that's the quickest and easiest way to convey a movie's genre, cast and tone to people who don't enjoy thinking.

wait, what ?

by that rationale call of duty should shoot you.

This is a good read and matches what I think:

"Its an exact copy of Saving Private Ryan in video game form"

I think hes actually talking about Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Pretty much 3rd chapter and on it takes it from Saving Private Ryan. The guys who made the original call of duty came from the medal of honors series. They broke from MoH to help "innovate" the genre...hmmm...what happened there...

But it didn't collapse! That's not Battlefield damage, that's Call of Duty.

In the puddle test, the water is very still after the camera change when it's dropped in. Looks like they at least edited together different takes, assuming it's not fake (which would be incredibly pointless).

Call of Duty and Battlefield have forever ruined shooters on ALL platforms. They've intentionally capitalized and completely monetized the market so that you HAVE to keep buying their games. There is never a time when a piece of DLC or another brand new version of the game is coming out.

@aimpoint @FlowersInHisHair Ok, it's hard for me to argue against faulty gameplay. Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard, but after what I saw in the beta I was pretty sure they would fuck this game up (from the perspective of a fan of the series). It's just how modern industry works, EA was trying to get a huge new user base, so they made the game more appealing to casual users. By doing that, it was almost inevitable to fuck up for the old fans of sim city. When I heard that you only need about an hour to fill the city space, I was goddamn sure they fucked up. It's now this game for the typical call of duty player, who doesn't want to put to much thought in his projects, all that matters is that his city looks good. If I remember correctly, I had to start Sim City 4 over and over again before I learned how to build a city.

I'm not saying EA couldn't do otherwise. For example this is the same thing I thought modern game industry would do to X-Com, but Firaxis did a wonderful Job reinventing the series and they brought a new simpler aspect into turn-based strategy. It also had some really frustrating bugs (especially if you played with only one save game) they fixed up later... But since this is EA (I don't say maxis for a reason, because they are part of EA) I wouldn't bet a penny that they fix all these issues, at least not for free. I would predict that in about halve a year you'll see the "Bigger Cities" DLC for 5-20 $.
