Finally got round to playing CoD: Advanced Warfare - A Cautionary tale of being a judging prick.

Shit, was I ever wrong about this game? I got it for Christmas, but never played it because I always had the notion that it was a game series played by scumbag men. You know, Jocks, ass holes, fuck-men, sports fans. The type of guy who use the N-word on mic and don't like women, people of colour, or gays playing video games.

I'd not actually met those types of people playing games, but i had this very clear idea of who they were, even tho I don't think of myself as particularly socially progressive, I knew this truth about how these gamers existed and I hated them. Even this gamergater right here had been convinced that this type of scum existed and exclusively played CoD, so obviously the reason I never met them was because I don't play CoD or Madden or all those other douchebag games.

I always assumed it was a shit game for shit people. I was SUPER wrong. It is just a brilliant game, with interesting, real feeling characters that I genuinely came to love, and I was fucking devastated when they died. Beautiful emotive game, wonderfully written, and more than that fun too.

Where as I always thought of Bioware games as being the pinnacle of well written characters and emotive story telling, but I look at Mass Effect Andromeda, and I compare it to CoD:AW, and I just think: What happened? CoD:AW just outclasses ME:A in every way as a sci-fi game.

Your endorsement reinforces my belief that it is a shit game for shit people.

Yeah, I used to be like that in both ways. People I didn't like Loved the game so I hated it, and people I did like at the time hated it (and its players) so I hated it.

Say what you want about me, but if you can live with a bit of "YAY FOR THE TROOPS" mentality, you might find it's a really, really good game. Give it a whirl.
