I can imagine this coming out of any developers mouth that works on games not named Call of Duty. But Jeez louise! As I read that very newsworthy piece of information..I had to chime in with that very quote.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
Not sure what's more sad, the fact people keep buying this game every year, or that this is Activisions only game which can bring them money.
It's like Activision has people brainwashed in their cult. A mediocre FPS game where all you do is run around shooting each other. It's not different from any other shooters and yet people still buy it more.
Tons of hate on the internet and it obviously shows...no one wants this game at all.
It's a fun game to get in and out of (which is a big deal since our lives are so busy these days...especially if your in college or graduated) and it's twitch based fun. It's basically instant action.
I play Halo, BF and COD as my multiplayer games so I switch it up depending on my mood that day but to say COD is mediocre when it's a sales and hype phenomenon every year I think is a bit asinine.
And don't give me the sales doesn't equal quality because if people weren't happy with the quality of the game they're buying, they wouldn't keep buying later iterations of the initial game. While I think it's true some very good games go under the sales radar, it is an indicator of the quality of the game or franchise
The only game I think would out sale COD is a Final Fantasy 7 remake.
At this point COD is THAT game....the hottest "IT" game going.
The fact its a multiplat is even better for the devs as it doesnt divide gamers.
At this point I dont see any current franchise taking it out. Each year the game comes out its bound to get BIGGER...because IMO the few that decide to skip it and move on because there bored etc....there are just as many NEW players jumping on board.
Like say your lil bro or sis or nephew who is finally old enough to play it. I say activision is in a sweet position as they have a solid money maker for the next who knows HOW many years.
I dont see Halo or Battlefield doing anything...both great franchises. But at this point COD...WONT be topped as far as sales goes...
...quality and gameplay...thats another story and VERY subjective.
