Hey guys, instead of buying COD the new one you should all buy Titanfall 2. It's much better and doesn't have scummy business practices, all new maps and items were released for free, you could only buy some cosmetic titan models and stuff and you were actually getting what you wanted, not the chance to get what you wanted.

goddamn I'm glad I'm not a CoD fan because lmao at this poo poo.

Hasn't CoD been dying as a franchise anyways? It certainly doesn't have the popularity peak it once did. Somehow I doubt this entry is gonna change that.

I don't think it's megaton level anymore but it's still plenty popular. With AAA who knows what's considered successful though.

I don't think anybody is going to buy cod because IW sucked rear end, same how nobody bought AW because of ghosts and the spiral has been a downward trend

I'm just sitting here crocheting tiny little stars out of embroidery thread. I'm working on the second one and I set it down to look for the first one I made. Trying to look around for it and I see my cat Bahol smacking his lips and nosing around where I saw it last.




My cat ate my fuckin star!!

Who does that?!

He's just looking at me like "hi I love you" and I'm just like "why'd you eat my star?! what the gently caress buddy??"

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the game where baby-faced Kit Harington is the big bad, was the best selling game in North America in 2016. In the UK, it was #2 after FIFA. In most of Europe, it was one of the top five best selling games of the year.

I actually liked Infinite Warfare. The zero-g shooting was pretty neat and they don't overuse it, plus everything about commanding the ship is like totally in my wheelhouse theming-wise.

Basically if a game has you commanding a ship I will probably at least be lukewarm on it by that alone

i don't know who the gently caress thought it was a good idea to announce a release date that was within two months for a complete reworking of the script of an 80 hour long action rpg

like that was just a losing move from the start

Ys viii is not 80 hours long, it's between 20 - 30

I should add the caveat that I mean on PC, you cant find a match in cod games after like a few months anymore

the IW campaign was pretty good, but I'm pretty sure that's not what anyone is talking about when comparing or criticizing CoDs

Oh, right. I find CoD multiplayer really boring and Black Ops 2 was the last game I put any hours into the MP. I am a campaign-only CoDder. Even the Zombies mode is super boring

From what I understand the CoD sp campaigns have remained good thoughout the series if not a little short but no one gives a poo poo because that series become huge because of the multiplayer with the single player mostly being a footnote

The new CoD might still do well enough because a return to WWII games is what the fanbase has had been demanding for awhile to the point they got mad that AW was too sci-fi for whatever reason

I'm given to understand that Ys games also have a gently caress load of dialogue, like Yakuza levels. I've only played Origins tho

They made a really solid world and you get to see a lot of people die in varied and horrible ways, the world looks and feels believable enough, and you get to shoot the biggest gun in the solar system at the end. An A+ spectacle for sure

battlefront, because I assume you can at least still level up and unlock stuff in COD while the entire progression in battlefront hinges on getting stuff out of lootboxes

A friend just reminded me that the COD lootbox watching daily thing isn't even really new, since hearthstone has had the spectate a friend quest for a while. Blizzard truly ahead of the game.

The HS one requires you to watch a game (and you can't spectate opening packs).

that was for spectating a friend playing that's playing games though, not opening card packs right?

It makes you see what other people have like the COD loot box thing (and your friend may want you to check out their cool deck), and rewarding a pack means that when you get nothing from the pack you might be more likely to try another pull at the slots, even if it's just 1% more likely.

Correct. It's a spectator mode, like exists in a lot of other games.
