Let's face it the Call of duty franchise is in no shape or form "hardcore" meaning that its more on the casual side. I believe that certain changes can be made that in result would make the hardcore gaming community appreciate the game more. These five changes are critical to this cause. If Activision wants to get the hardcore community involved with COD then these five things need to change and the hardcore mode the game boasts isn’t enough, the game as a whole needs to change.
It has been announced that Ubisoft's Executive Committee and Board of Directors will launch an investigation and review of the company.
Is Ubisoft board going to investigate themselves since they're the ones telling Ubisoft how to do less for more and push MTX over taking longer to make better games w/o them?
Honestly kinda glad all these AAA publishers are finally imploding, they've tainted this industry and took advantage of us too long. Die and don't come back
Game reviews have been around since the mid-1970s. Play Meter was the first of its kind. During their time, it was mainly coin-operated machines that were covered, as certain arcade games that many of us consider classics such as Space Invaders were popular. Other publications sprang up, such as Arcade Alley in 1979. From then on, gaming journalism was on the rise. Electronic Games Magazine, Famitsu, The Games Machine, Nintendo Power, and others all gave way to gaming journalism’s growing popularity and importance. In the beginning, gaming journalism was about the love of the games, the history of the product, and giving potential consumers genuine insight. The passion was there. The commitment was there. The insight was there. And most importantly, the trust was there.
They've become nothing more than corporate shills. Rather than speaking truth to power, they're just looking at the latest clickbait no matter how false it is.
The straight up lies are annoying. Then journalists claim that a lie is an opinion. Um... no.
yea its been like this for years and only has gotten worse during covid.
they are sometimes worse than celeb. trash news ha.
"you will NOT believe what the DEV of XYZ said"
or and those are my favourites,
"XYZ game gets REMASTER TREATMENT" and you click on the link and its just a god damn mod ha.
The gaming landscape today is full of corporations trying to suck as much money out of us as possible while giving us as little as possible in return that's the biggest problem I see right now and the fact the journos should be the ones calling the gross practices out now suckle at the teat of the publishers to stay in favour and maintain working relationships to avoid being blacklisted for reviews and preview events show their interests do not align with ours.
The article discusses a claim by an intellectual property (IP) expert that Nintendo likely does not hold patents strong enough to prevent the game developer Pocketpair from creating Palworld, a game that some believe resembles Pokémon. The expert suggests that Nintendo's legal challenges against Palworld could amount to nothing more than corporate bullying, as the patents Nintendo might be relying on are not robust enough to stand up to legal scrutiny. The situation could be seen as an example of a large corporation trying to exert undue influence over a smaller competitor.
Crazy how far they are willing to go over nothing rather than tell Game Freak to get their shit together and sort the quality of the mainline games out.
Personally I'd drop the two game bullshit, make a full on complete game, and take their time making the best game they can without relying on a silly battle gimmick they'll ditch after one game. Gimmicks out of battle is what they should be focusing on, beauty contests, berry making, secret bases, the underground, Seasons, events during day / night and post game content like travelling to a new location or something.
It's straight up bullying with mooney and using the government laws as a tool to do so. They should be fined.
Why does COD need the respect of the hardcore? Considering BO is the best selling/most played game on the PS3/360 at the moment..its doing pretty good from what I can tell.
I freaking hate when someone shoots a grenade launcher from one spawn point to the other. Last time that happene to me was in Karachi mw2 dont ask me how!
Why catering to the most annoying, nitpicking, elitist crowds of the bunch???
Core and casual gamers buy and enjoy their games and their complains are reasonable.
LMAO..so now only BF 3 is for "hardcore" players? Are you pooping me? WOW.. this whole thing is out of hand. People call the people that play and enjoy COD sheep? Looks like there's a new herd on the horizon. All you see is COD hate on this site. Funny... could of sworn that the people who bought and play COD regularly are far, far greater in number then those who hate it now.
Weird how on xbox live, 3 of the top 6 games are COD games. Did you guys know that more people play GTA 4 still on Live, then BFBC 2? Yup... check Major Nelsons site... and god i wish i had more bubbles to respond back to all the comments and disagrees... but Sony fanboys have got me down to 1 bubble on this site. N4G needs a better way of doing their stuff here. Fanboys rule this site, and have the power to make bubbles go down.
I'm starting a new crusade.. every 1 bubble poster i see that isn't just writing cheesy spam, and has a valid point even if i don't agree with it.. I'm plus bubbling them. It has to change.
They need to give the ability to have silencers on your grenades.
