No Man's Sky – and why the Minecraft generation will reject Call of Duty

Focused games offer experiences that exploration/sandbox games can't match. And vice versa, of course. We need both

And focused games have a kind of advantage as far as selling in that they can be finished, and thus have a sort of obsolescence..
 
I don't see how an experience like Minecraft would take over a game that tells a story like The Last of Us or a competitive game like COD.

I love Minecraft and i'm 35, i also like to go on a full blast and shoot people in COD and when i feel like going in interactive action adventure game, The Last of Us fills that void.

While games like Minecraft will be copied by many and will be very popular in the future, there's definitely a huge place for action competitive like COD and other types of games.

Hell i know a lot of kids around 8-10 that play Minecraft and COD. Yes kids play Call of Duty even though it's a M rated game...

COD would be completely different if say the following happened in the game:

You're given a mission to fly in on choppers and slide rope out of the chopper into the warzone. You're deployed out in a field and you have a map of the location of a village you're suppose to hike to with your squad. How you get there and how long it takes for you to get there is all up to you.

Yeah, that'd be a kick ass COD game. Exploration, player-driven, player decides the flow of the game.
