Mark from GamersFTW gives his thoughts on the latest Call of Duty marketing campaign
Call of Duty Black Ops 3 has a new paintball mod in the works which aims to restore classic CoD multiplayer, if you’re tired of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2
Marvel’s Avengers, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Bloodborne earn top spots across PS5, PS4, and PC.
Too bad God of War isn't on PSNow. It would've slaughtered the Avengers and Aloy!!
I need to cancel my subscription, there’s rarely anything I like that I don’t already have
Darksiders Genesis, Little Nightmares and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number are also playable from today.
Terrible month. Detroit and Black Ops 3 (available for a limited time) are already in the PS Plus Collection, and Detroit was also a free game on PS Plus years ago. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is terrible. Only the smaller games that were added are good additions.
PS Plus is way better than PS Now right now (quality > quantity) and has been good for a long time, and great since the PS5 released. I was tempted to subscribe to PS Now over the holidays but I just didn't trust in the quality of the service. They need to up their game because the quality of the service is deteriorating. I'm starting to wonder if they're going to ditch PS Now as we know it and basically add it as an extra tier to PS Plus because that's what they've been prioritizing.
Great for me.
I was looking to play darksiders genesis...it's the last one I need to play. And little nightmares is another one I wanted to try.
The rest I've already played or am not interested. Overall I think they're great additions.
I find ideas like this ridiculous. Controversial marketing may stick in people's minds, but can make people boycott a series, or just think of the company as stupid.
I wonder if they aren't going for the controversy angle. No such thing as bad publicity after all and this will have plenty of non-gamers talking
I guess it isn't really necessary for a company as big as Activision to create controversial advertising but getting the BO3 name talked about seems to have worked. It's a horrible thing to do but if Activision wanted to get more attention for Black Ops III, this certainly did it.
I don’t expect anything less from this series anymore. For me, it just highlights the use of narrative in the news media to market things.
Was there seriously no one in the office that day to point out why this might have been a bad idea? We're trying to get people to accept video-games, not encourage that even the companies that make them are idiots.
