"CoD" And "Not Over Milking" Dont Go In The Same Sentence

iNFAMOUZ15099d ago

Bullshit actimilksion, COD SUCKS stop releasing the same generic shit every year ya greedy bastards, hows about a new IP FOR A CHANGE////?"?? bungie's doing it, so is insomniac, NOW that I respect.

zero_gamer5099d ago (Edited 5099d ago )

Activision is all about the $$. As long as people buy the games they'll exploit it until they run dry. You cannot really blame them for taking opportunity to collect as much cash they can collect.

As far as the CoD series is concerned, meh. Most shooters this generation bore me.

iNFAMOUZ15099d ago

from a buisness stand point yes, BUT to alienate future gamers is bullshit dude. What about when my son gets older and he wants to play COD???? am I as a parent going to have to pay double or triple or quadrouple the subscription??? hell no, I rather use it on stuff that will benefit my young one.

Kee5099d ago

Overmilking? They deny overmilking but that doesn't mean they deny milking. So fear not, they are only doing the necessary amount of milking.

This is like showing a murderer a video of himself killing a person and then the murderer saying "I didn't do that."

Otheros005099d ago

Actually it's more like, showing the murder a video of himself killing 10 people and the murder saying "I only killed 8 people."

DanSolo5099d ago

Actually it's more like a company overcharging for a product....

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb38d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville37d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer38d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer38d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.

Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.

Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.

fsfsxii135d ago

If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.

Gamingsince1981122d ago

It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.

thank goodness we dodged that landmine 😒
