What I find interesting about your post is this: those who grew up with it, but think "it's stupid now compared to better games like MW2". :lol How can a game which portray fighting can be more stupid or less than another showing shooting and killing?
My guess is that the only fighting game they would play these days is related to boxing or UFC because it's "real and gritty".
To be clear, I live near an Air Force Base and grew up around both the Air Force and Army.
You are correct. UFC was big in my area because it was "real". As for why they think its stupid now...well, I guess they believe they "grew up". Alot of them went into the military or something to that effect and now they want to play something more "real"? I'm honestly not quite sure to be honest.
I don't mind the success of MW and FPS in general. I don't play them, but I don't mind them. For the demographic most of those games sell to, it fits right in with them. Perhaps it's part of a more "grown up" dream?
It's something I've thought about alot as I grew older and observe things at my store.
To be honest, it always kind of...tripped me out to see men and women who are in the military, who have served in Iraq and other combat zones, come home and eagerly pick up Modern Warfare or another FPS military type game with a smile on their face. Really interesting to look at. When I've asked them, I've never gotten a concrete answer as to why.
Sorry for going off topic. Perhaps I should write an article and pitch it somewhere. :lol

This was cute and I laughed. But, yeah if you want to play SF4 with anyone online after Super comes out, you kind of do
have to buy it because no one will be playing vanilla 4 again. =P
