AAA games often project emotions too - just a different _kind_ of emotions. Just because Modern Warfare is a different experience than Inside or Fez doesn't mean you don't feel anything when playing it. There's plenty of place in the world for all kinds of games.
I know the spin-offs catch a lot of shit—and the first Black Ops was awful—but Black Ops II, for all its problems, does more interesting stuff in both its single- and multi-player than I've seen in another console FPS since Perfect Dark.
[EDIT] though, to be clear, still far less than Perfect Dark did.

I don't get the hate for CoD. I played all but last Modern Warfare installments and really liked the single-player campaign!
