Call of Duty: Black Ops 3?

[Ms. Mudpie]

You're all hating simply because it's call of duty. Both Black Ops 1 & 2 were amazing, and last years Advanced Warfare saved the series, I have no doubt that CoD is heading in the right direction once again with Black Ops 3.

I hate Call of Duty not because it's Call of Duty, but because of what Call of Duty represents. 

It's the clearest example of creativity being stamped out and shat on in favour of earning as much money as possible. Sure, each game has pretentions to trying something new (Ghosts had the guard dogs, Advanced Warfare was set in the future) but in terms of actual gameplay, they're all exactly the same: walk into a ruined building, shoot brown people, wank off our massive white American cocks, rinse, lather, repeat until you get to the end of the game upon which you kill the big boss in an overly-dramatic way.

I get that it's a working formula, but while it's one thing to build on that formula to explore new ideas (e.g. Bioshock and Bioshock: Infinite) it's another to just re-hash that same formula for ten years while telling people that no, really, this game is entirely different, in this one you get to shoot Russians instead of brown people and also Kevin Spacey's in it at one point. 

Call of Duty had a good run for its first few games (the first Modern Warfare was fantastic) but now it makes its money solely from the brand name and marketing, as opposed to actually being a decent fucking game. 

This ended up being a longer rant than I intended, so tl;dr: Call of Duty sucks because each new game is a low-effort makeover of the previous one, but it still makes the kind of money that could put an end to all the poverty and hunger in the world. 

EDIT: super tl;dr: Call of Duty represents everything that's wrong with the video game industry.
