excaliburps Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Ok, is it just me or does Kotaku really, really have an Activision, Call of Duty fetish? I mean I get it. The game's a huge draw for hits, blockbuster and whatnot, but they're not like this with other high-profile games...games like Battlefield 3, Uncharted, Skyrim, etc. I remember someone giving me a link that the site even posted news about CoD curtains, boxers or something as inane. In short, they are infatuated with it, or at least Crecente is. Anyone want to take bets that MW3 will be part of Kotaku's GOTY year end balloting? Before you get mad at me or anything, I get that they got the big scoop on MW3, and I am thankful for it. But the site's been this way since last year. I remember a commenter asking why other news that are tipped aren't posted but anything CoD is! I also asked that question. So...you think the eds are chummy with Acti PR, CM or whatnot? Nothing wrong with that, but if it affects your news, then yeah - it's not good for a site that's considered one of the biggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P4: Gritty Reboot Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I think Brian Crecente is just a really big fan of the series, so that affects the site's content obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Is it just me...or has someone triggered Strangelove's Pet Peeve? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excaliburps Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Lol! And what is Strangelove's pet peeve? People against CoD or CoD in general? I know Crecente likes Call of Duty, but the fact that it's affecting some of the content on the site makes it a bit iffy. I mean I prefer BF over CoD games, but I know where to draw the line when it comes to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excaliburps Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Dude, it's NEVER just you. NEVER!!!! NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!! Haha! I take it you see their CoD-colored glasses as well? I was talking to a friend the other night and he was already talking about how he was going to get MW3. Yep. That's with only seeing the trailers and whatnot. He was asking and implying I should be getting it since he and everybody he can persuade, will get it. I mean, seriously?! 3-5 CoD games not enough? No wonder Activison wont't ever run out of money.

Hocking Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 He was asking and implying I should be getting it since he and everybody he can persuade, will get it. Bobby Kotick called, he was wondering if he could persuade you to just give him money instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean blind fanaticism is something else. Same friend of mine also thinks an "8" is a low score. I mean, I know games are expensive but since when did an 8 become a low score? Heck, most guys would be happy to get a girl that's "only" an 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excaliburps Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 @dean Oops! Well, at least we have this thread to talk about how some sites seem to be paid by other sites or something. Haha! I jest. They just love them Call of Doodies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
