So I see this game. Let me sum up what I actually see:

  • Reviews are mixed: not a great start
  • Requires 3rd-party account: fuck that
  • 60 euros base game: expensive, especially when the game has mixed reviews
  • 175 euros DLC’s: are you fucking kidding me? On top of 60 euros for the base game, there’s another 175 fees for content?
  • purchasable CoD points: so pay to win?

And they don’t understand why people pirate, run away from AAA games and go for indie games instead.

This is just a random example. I’ve quit playing COD after Modern Warfare.

To end this positively: I recently started playing Necesse which is really nice, and I started playing an old time favorite again after a long time: World of Goo. Both worth my money :)

    It’s CoD. You’re asking why people drink coke if you don’t like coke.

    Also, steam FPS reviews are full of people on full tilt. Use better review sources.

          Im not referring to any particular cod game. Im referring to the whole series. Its triple A garbage that is churned out like pop music and its boring. Every new game is a rehash of a previous one with no innovation and more monetization.

          Its not a review of the game. Its an opinion about the capitalist nature of the companies who make these games and how shit it is.

            Yeah it was a joke man. CoD is exactly as you described but it’s irrelevant to the people playing it.

            Sports fans go and watch the same team play similar games dozens of times over many many seasons. That’s what CoD is to its fans (FIFA, NFL, etc., similarly).

            Both are not for me, but I get why other people like it.
