This times a billion. Skyrim looks sweet too! I'm also unsure of BF3.L3m0n_L1m3 said:I'm not even buying Modern Warfare 3.
Problem solved!
I'm sure MW3 will do okay anyway - there are a lot of people the will play MW3 but don't like RPG games like Skyrim (Though on this forum that definately not the case!)Nibblitman said:Poor MW3 looks like its gonna get crushed, oh well, those games were not too bad
Im going to disagree with you there, the Call of Duty games are excellent shooters which obviously a lot of people enjoy, whether its "crap" or not isnt up to you to decide. (Obviously You can think its crap though). By elitism i mean that the majority of people on this site that dislike CoD do it because its popular and because they dont like it, they are automatically better than people who do like iticaritos said:This isn't elitism. Skyrim has had a 5 year development cycle, while MW3 is just the same 1 year development money grab. Hating on clearly sub-par crap is not elitism.The_Blue_Rider said:Why ask this question on the Escapist? Most people here are too elitist to "dirty" themselves with a Call of Duty game.
Me personally Ill probably buy Skyrim, but Modern Warfare 3 is also a definate buy

The point I'm making is that a popular opinion, regardless whether it is yours or my own, does not make the opposing side elitist. We don't claim to be part of a exclusive, morally or intellectually superior, no call of duty club (even if in your head you ascribe that meaning to those that dislike it).The_Blue_Rider said:Im going to disagree with you there, the Call of Duty games are excellent shooters which obviously a lot of people enjoy, whether its "crap" or not isnt up to you to decide.

Look im not saying that everyone on the site is elitist, but i have run across a fair few of them here. The people who say I dont like Modern Warfare because its boring/ annoying/ activision are a bunch of greedy fuckwads.icaritos said:The point I'm making is that a popular opinion, regardless whether it is yours or my own, does not make the opposing side elitist.

The escapist community needs to stop using elitism as some kind of omni-relevant insult, it is fucking ridiculous:
"Don't like my console? ELITIST!"
"Don't like my favorite game? ELITIST!"
"Don't like my opinion? ELITIST!"
"Don't like my lifestyle? ELITIST!"
Just freaking stop, you are retracting all meaning from the goddamn word.
P.S. Not a single bit of this rant can be classified as elitist.
Still not elitism, they have to claim their own moral or intellectual superiority for it to be classified as such. If we start to nitpick it will all come down to semantics, but in that statement they never claimed to be any less of a fool than those that play the game, just that the game itself makes you foolish. Either way just ask yourself "does he claim to be/ or believes to be superior to other people, to the point that he is a part of a elite (and most often) exclusive sect of humanity?".The_Blue_Rider said:Look im not saying that everyone on the site is elitist, but i have run across a fair few of them here.

Im talking about the people who havent played Call of Duty but still rant on about how terrible it is and how everyone who enjoys the game is some sort of fool
Generally when someone calls another person a fool then it means they consider that person below them.

If the answer is yes, bingo you got yourself an elitist.
