Well I was expecting improvements on the show, even went back to the Jimquisition youtube days and nothing really changed thus far.
Guess I haveto call quits on this.

This was my thought as well. If people are so influenced by your work that they create things that are very similar, doesn't that mean it's pretty good? Tons of bands tried to be as awesome as the Beatles, does that mean the Beatles are shit?retterkl said:Lol why are you getting angry at CoD because other game studios are copying it? How does that make any sense at all?
I only play CoD:WaW really, because it's the one that I have. Although I can imagine easy ways of improving it, as others are copying CoD therefore making CoD the pioneer on this front i'd say they're doing well.
I was thinking this as well lol, Jim seems to be masterfully trolling the escapist.matrix3509 said:Godammit Jim, I love you more with every jab you take at this community of twatdonkeys.
Seriously its like he's trolling, only he makes good points, which makes said twatdonkeys even more infuriated.
In all seriousness though, people dislike being told what they enjoy is shit. This is why the elitists in the Escapist community (and other sites I won't mention) like to flock around and form circle-jerks around what is accepted as their favorite titles. Likewise, when they are told to dislike something by the hivemind, they will line up to defecate on said thing without thought.
Because Battlefield games are not popular.. and no, unlockables can't be why CoD is successful - if anything its the whole package it serves the gamer. I have to say Modern Warfare 2 was executed excellently.CardinalPiggles said:but CoD made it famous, dont you see? thats what he was saying.Art Axiv said:COD didn't invent unlockables in FPS - Battlefield franchise did. Much earlier.
I would too if I was insulted just because of my preferences in video games.Ukomba said:He seems awfully but sore over this.
Quoted for truth. I have been refusing to watch this show since the first penis fest episode.Raiyan 1.0 said:Jim, your humor is not effortless. Just look at you - you're donning a fucking lady's makeup to offend people. That is trying too hard. And I'm not even going into you over-emphasizing every point you're trying to bring across.
Yahtzee brings forward issues not one is critical enough to ***** about while actually being funny. Bob has an obscene amount of knowledge on archaic pop cultural phenomenon. The Extra Credits folks actually make constructive criticism on the game industry. You... are just reiterating what we know already, while painting all those folks who tend to dislike the franchise with the same stereotype (I, for example, dislike the last 2 CoD sequels because the ports were utter shit on the PC). And it doesn't help your credibility when you say that you got into online gaming only after CoD4.
I really don't see a niche for you here.
Thats why the developers made those preexisting classes. And they are pretty good, They wont suit your playstyle exactly but they are effective enough to kick some ass. And while kicking some you unlock guns and perks. And kick more ass in the game. Thats what cod 4 did good. MW2 did it even better. And Blops is somewhere in between.diebane said:I agree with you, Jim, except for one statement:
I dislike the advantages (more perks, weapons, etc.) an experienced player has. You covered this in the video and stated that it was not any different than an experienced player in i.e. Quake. I disagree.
A player (let's call him Dave) that gets wrecked in Quake because of him not knowing where the weapons are is going to want to change that by, for example, looking it up on the internet. If Dave still gets wrecked after that, it is the experience of the better player that gives him the advantage over Dave.
If Dave played Call of Duty, weapon spawn locations don't matter too much (except for some FFA gametypes). Of course, Dave gets wrecked. But this time he can't do anything about that because the advantages of the other players are not (only) based on knowledge (weapon spawns) and game experience, but gametime, too. Sure, if Dave is bad at FPSs he gets wrecked no matter what, but Perks/Weapons/Killstreaks are something that he can't do anything about even if he is decent at gaming.
I hope you get my point.

EDIT: Also, I don't buy in the hatred towards younger gamers. I'm sure most of us have played games before we were legally allowed to. What gives us the right to deny those players the game? People who bash little kids for playing CoD (and other games) are most likely Hypocrits.
I know that your statements in the description are not meant to be taken seriously and are supposed to be funny, but that statement is very offensive to servicemen and women everywhere. I understand you are just trying to be funny, but really try not to present yourself as such a douchebag. Also, was the Osama thing supposed to be a joke? 'Cause I sure as hell didn't get it.Jim Sterling said:Defending Call of Duty
Very much how men and women of the military defend this nation's freedom overseas, Jim Sterling defends Call of Duty. In many ways, Sterling's cause is more righteous and noble than anything a soldier has ever, ever done.
