Is this even a question? Mario cannot leave the door unless it has changed enough to get Miyamotos seal of approval

The saddest thing about this is that initially the comparison seems stupid however the more you think about it, the more sense it makes. Mario has had such an influence over the years and is one of the most iconic figures in entertainment history however COD's influence over the modern era of gaming can't be downplayed. Love it or hate it, it's success is unrivaled and has completely redefined (for better or worse) a genre.

"you might be playing the same level over and over again but every single time you play the level its a different game"

No wonder Activision keep selling the same rehash games lol

Cod is just a basic copy of other fps games - certainly no innovations. You got to wonder about some ppl!

WeAreLegion3801d ago

Mario has innovated in platformers.

Call of Duty innovated in FPS's. (COD 1, 2, and 4 only)

n4f3801d ago

the difference is that mario kept on innovating.
whereas cod stopped after cod4

WeAreLegion3801d ago

Yeah. Different teams, sadly. :/ Luckily, most of the original guys are still innovating...with Titanfall.

Wni03801d ago

Call of duty has been more influential this generation, with the FPS genre imitating CoD4s innovations, where as Mario has been outshined by the Journeys/Braids/Limbos/Raymans .

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
