Weekend Confirmed 86 - Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, Saints Row the Third
by Garnett Lee, Nov 11, 2011 11:11am PSTThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3 arrived this week and the Weekend Confirmed crew takes a little break from playing them to share their stories from the games. Wouldn't you know, a cold bug seems to be sweeping through the offices as well, laying out Xav and sapping Garnett. He carries on, though, joined by Jeff and Christian because the show must go on. And boy does it. Saints Row the Third also got into the mix of what we've been playing and we take a look at whether it's odd to play portable games from the comforts of our couch and what we learned about Mass Effect 3 from the beta that briefly leaked out on Live. As always, we wrap it all up with Finishing Moves and our football Tailgate.

Essentially all a new Call of Duty game is, is a skin. New gun skins (maybe slightly different stats) new character skins and new maps, it's just a 60 DLC with a short story and a few new game modes, hell Halo does this for free, so did the AC:B multiplayer.
What's the point in wasting your money on this?

The trappings and gameplay actually surrounding those dopamine triggers are inconsequential to this audience.
Take an average Halo, BF, TF2 player, drop them into CoD, and they'll do fine within a couple hours. They just have to get used to not thinking too much... or at all.
Take your average CoD player and put them into a multiplayer experience that takes a modicum of thought, and they get their asses kicked because they don't have the higher order brain processing to succeed in any pursuit beyond 'point and shoot'.
And this is coming from a HUGE, MONSTER fan of COD4. The series has just got dumber and dumber in its quest to cater to the lowest common denominator. It's Mario Party in shooter form.
