I feel exactly the same way. I enjoyed what little of the game I played, but never really felt drawn in enough to continue. Every that I say this too who plays video games looks at me like my boogers crawled out my nose and just started talking. I think I’ve narrowed down why this game didn’t appeal to me: it’s too “realistic”. I love FPS shooters, but I prefer some escapism invovled. If there’s not at least some kind of futuristic weaponry or magic or something, I’m not nearly as interested.

I would have to say that there is two types of people who ask you why you wouldn’t like game X (in this case CoD4). There are those who are just out to be in an internet fight, and justify to more themselves why they have spent (X) amount of dollars and time on the game. These conversations typically boil down to, “You suxxzorz and only don’t like it because you got pwned at it.” Those people should be purged from the earth. However there are those who are in fact interested in what didn’t appeal to you or what issues you had with the game. This could make for interesting conversation, and possibly open peoples eyes from some hype covered glasses.

I’m going to put that down to Digital Cowboys listeners being smarter than the average bear – their show is, after all, one of the best at tackling highbrow topics to do with gaming without ever falling prey to pretension. Speaking personally, I can honestly say I’ve yet to experience that opinion variance regarding CoD4.

There is a thread on the digital cowboys forum about mw2 and we got to talking about cod4 where the reactions were from absolute love to middling indifference to active dislike.

the game is generally held in high regard but the reactions seemed no different to those i have seen to halo.

If I was listing games I’m not interested in I wouldn’t have said Forza 3. No, they were just examples of big games hitting around now or not too far away, that not everyone’s going to love to the point of irrationality.

I think this is called “proving my point”.

Same, although my opinion is notably irrelevant in this particular instance…

Working in a video game store makes lack of interest in CoD really difficult right now. I’ve learned to fake it pretty well.

…….that’s what she said.

“CoD4’s not even my favorite game to feature the fascinating abandoned city of Pripyat.”

-Would that honor belong to Stalker? I played COD4 right after Stalker and though there was a bit of excitement when I first got to that level, it ended up just making me nostalgic for Stalker because I felt like it captured the area’s feel better.
