ESO vs Call of Duty

ArchMikem

There's at least one common item these two games share though, and no matter how much everyone ridicules it, I will defend it till the day my old senile brain can no longer play video games.

A story.

Videos games are just another medium to convey a story. And I love me a good story. Whether it be about a Daedric Prince assault the lands of Mortals as part of a greater cosmic scheme, or a Grunt's struggle through a Geo Political conspiracy threatening to shatter the world as we know it. Gaming to me is like reading a good book. And say what you will but even a thing like CoD can have a decent story hidden in it.

Also, shocked Mods haven't brought down the hammer on this topic yet.

Comparing ESO to Call of Duty is like comparing chocolate to cocaine!

one has caffeine and the other is "like" caffeine? both are addictive in their own ways. At least cocaime doesnt make people fat.

No skooma in CoD.

If you think aiming is easier in an RPG than in a first-person shooter, than what's your favorite color of the alphabet?

Why don't we also compare the following:

Pizza vs. Australia
Cats vs. Comets
Grass vs. Atmosphere

Kappa

Pizza. I can't eat Australia, and most things there could kill me with horrible poisons.

Cats. Comets can destroy the world, but cats can only try. It is in my interest to have the world continue.

Atmosphere. I need this to breath. I can't easily acquire oxygen from grass using respiration alone.

Easy peasy. Next?

Pineapple vs. Doorknob
Donald Trump vs. Octopus
Thunder vs. Bike

Well, just going off what Google has to say on the matter...

Pineapple doorknobs can be fun. They would match the back bedroom.


Trump Octopus is terrifying!

(I think a picture with the toupee replaced with an octopus would be much more fun, but I could only find political cartoons).


Thunderbikes could be fun, if you are a motorcycle fan.

If you fanboy at a CoD forum, people wouldn't even know what ESO is.

It's like comparing squirrels to alligators

More importantly, let's compare ESO to blueberry muffins.

Discuss.

ESO walking through town you can sometimes hear kids crying in the background over someone's headset. In COD kids cry into the mic while playing.

It can be used as a derogatory insult.

how about

COD works
ESO is on life suppport

COD is playable
ESO is a test of a mans patience

COD was made by people who know what they are doing having done it before
ESO is a beta experiment to generate huge profit

I would say the TTK is about the same. Sad that a arena shooter has the same TTK as an MMO...

This is an easy one. Elder Scrolls Online stomps Call of Duty's face by a long shot. Call of Duty used to be fun. The game used to have great campaigns with great stories. Even though the multiplayer is always the same thing throw a couple of guys in a box-closed stage so they can shoot each other to death. It used to entertain.

The game just got old and boring and the online mode is full of uneducated pricks striving to be "the very best, like no one ever was". Those things summed up with the mass of unfriendly players that instead of saying "hello there" just greeted you with a "im gonna f#$^& all of you motherF#%&%$ up worthless pieces of S#!+" just made the game appeal only to teenagers who are just discovering what is actually a video game.
(Did I mention the uneducated community?)

Veteran players like us prefer a game with content to explore. Stories that touch our souls and memorable characters that will always be with us. Elder Scrolls Online offers all that and more and I'm not just saying it. Just put 2 TVs with 2 ps4, pc, xbox one, whichever and put the 2 games next to the other. One is about shooting guys, the other offers a vast beautiful world with loads of stuff to do.
