While I agree with some of your statements, shouldn't COD be the all-times GOTY then? After all they are milking the same formula every year. :teehee:
almost want to say yes, but only if that formula is superior to other formulas. In that regard, it's not. You don't get points for repeating the same game over and over. You get points for repeating the same
great game over and over.
Not only that, but I've only ever played CoD multiplayer, and I think that's true of most people. Because of that, it's hard to do anything rather unique or memorable. Once you have a control scheme that works, and your concept is "shoot the other team," well, I mean, what exactly are you going to change?
Zelda has the benefit of being single-player, which allows them to create as interesting a story as they want, every time. So while it's the same concept over and over, it's a new place, time, environment, and story. That's superior to CoD in every way.
