Halororor Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 this debate isnt getting anywhere. your too set in the fact you think these games are worlds apart...they arent. its as simple as that. Says the one who hasn't even bought either yet. Yep. Okay. HEY GAIS THEY'RE BOTH SHOOTERS SO THEY'RE THE SAME OKY? Sure. Let's be technical about it. They can be compared, yes, but they cannot be assessed by the same criteria, because their similarities are too minimal. You cannot say one is better than the other as if it is fact, because they both set out to do entirely different things, and they do them right, and people like them for it. You can say it is better based on your opinion and personal preference, but that doesn't actually make it better. Only more in line with your own taste. if the games werent so similar, people wouldnt debate between the two. people wouldnt compare them. this argument wouldnt even be here....i dont see a thread comparing Brink to StarCraft. Just one last jab, but no. Take your logical fallacies with you when you leave the thread, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halororor Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Oh please. We've been like this all along in the thread, and we're still best of buddies. *hugs other forumites posting in this thread* However, if you feel that strongly about it, then report it to a moderator. Essentially you're now attempting to do the moderators' jobs by telling us what we should or shouldn't do. Around these parts, that's called Forum Vigilantism. Last I saw, it's not condoned.

hoofhearted4 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 lol im not taking any of this personally, im just having a friendly debate (though i think we are in the wrong section for that aha) i havent bought either of them, but i have played them both, and watched quite a significant amount of game play....I never said which was better, i personally dont like either of them, i just said they could be compared. you could compare these games with Ghost Recon too, or Homefront, or Operation Flashpoint, or MoH, not only can you, but people already do. all these games are quite different in their own right, but they also share enough similarities that they can be and are compared.

Ghogiel Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 The games are comparable, are direct competitors and making a load of sub genre categorisations is just a futile attempt at making them appear so different that are not in the same genre, cannot be compared and are not direct market competitors.

So by your logic subgenres should be ignored entirely and there are no differences between them. They're so similar that it doesn't even matter? They're two different subgenres of a single genre. They play absolutely nothing alike. I don't get what's so hard to understand about it. You can probably compare them, yes, but the only effective thing that's going to come out of comparing them is showing how much different they are. I mean, CoD doesn't even have bullet drop. It's so fundamental to BF that BF fans take it for granted. The only reason why they're in direct competition is because EA would prefer to have the monopoly on the shooter market. They don't care for their fans. Not one bit. They only put up a facade of 'caring' to win fans over. Hell, they didn't even dare tell their fans they switch their lead platform to consoles halfway through because they knew they'd lose a lot of fans. The games are nothing alike. They don't need to be in direct competition. The only reason they're in competition is because EA wants Activision's market share and decided the best way to go about it is to make a big stink. Hell, if anyone tried to topple EA's hold on the racing market (where they ironically churn out crap NFS titles year after year, the exact same as Activision is doing with CoD), EA would be in pretty much the same boat as Activision was last year.

If all you can do is point out stuff that has nothing to do with the genre and are only individual gameplay differences..I rest my case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
