CoD Ghosts betrays the fans?

It seems like on every CoD video I see a comment section filled with coments about how Infinity Ward has betrayed the fans, how desperate they are with their new features in the game. Of course at first you think that it´s just a group of trolls trying to provoke people but the declining number of CoD Ghosts players seems to point towards something else...


I´d like to say that I do like CoD Ghosts, it´s a fantastic game and I´ve enjoyed playing it! Sure there are moments that I´m not so happy with the game, but moments of frustration don´t ruin a game for me. When I look at the big picture I see a game that offers a lot and puts you to a challenge, you die quickly and so you must be extra careful if you want to survive. I know that a lot of people hate the fact that you die so quickly in the game but instead of trying to get better they complain and abandon the game.


Maybe this is the new generation of gamers, give up quickly and not really trying unless someone almost hands you the victory. Perhaps right now I´m judging the new generation of gamers too hard, but I can´t help but see how games that offer some difficulty are often hated for it. A game like Dark Souls will drive you mad and yet it still has a group of fans, so maybe not everyone is a quitter? I guess CoD has a lot of fans, every new game seems to break records and offers hours of amusement in different modes. For the die hard fans there is a multiplayer that never seems to sleep and is full of all types of people. This sometimes leads to unpleasant confrontations but sometimes also great matches!


So why do people feel like Infinity Ward is betraying the fans? Well some people seem to hate that they put Michael Myers and the Predator in CoD Ghosts, eventhough they´re a lot of fun and a cool reward for completing a field order. I guess you´ll always have people that hate just to hate, they don´t like change and they probably want things to stay the same. I get that actually, but with games you have to move on sooner or later just like in real life. You can´t stay stuck in the same shit, you have to move on and try new things. Maybe certain things aren´t that great and sometimes you might wish that things were as they were, but if you never try anything new then how can you grow as a person? I think Infinity Ward is doing a great job, they put something new in the game and it´s maybe not for everyone but those that enjoy it are having a great time!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
