Gaming is dying.
good
No, the people who would play this slop are growing up.
>>724334784>SteamIsn't cod on battlenet or the ms store or something now that it's owned by actiblizz/MS?
>>724334784>gaypass gamepeople still have years of $1 pass time remaining
>>724334784Military shooter enthusiasts dont want it to be some gay Fornite clone. Activision gambled on the zoomer crowd and failed.Battlefield won
>got a bo7 key for $40>what do i play in the meantime?>find out bf6 is on ea pass, nice>get banned after a week for using text chat
>>724334943nah..Cod is still good at its core to some degree. Its slop but it used to serve its audience. The changes they made are what killed it.Nu-cod got rid of boomers with tryharding sweaty movement and non military skins like niki minaj/homelander. Nucod also got rid of some of the sweats with making controller aim assist cheating tier broken.
I don't play CoD but every bit of BLOPS7 I've seen has been of this black haired hoe what's her deal?
>>724334784>call of duty #1384who gives a fuck, the series is done and needs to go away for a while
I'm going to purchase it. I enjoyed how the game felt in beta and welcome the open playlist. However, I do still rage at people using obvious aim-assist tools and claiming it's just 'aim culture' or something. I've played shooters for longer than most people have been alive, and one simple does not perfectly 'flick' (a new-age retarded concept as well) onto a target and then proceed to have their crosshair magnetize onto the target. Again and again. It's just not possible.But I still enjoy these games, baring this small issue.
>>724334784CoD and other AAAs dying would only revitalize videogames. And I mean that unironically. Everything being invested into ridiculously large mega projects means less investment into smaller or more pointed projects.
I'm someone who plays cod every year, I'm skipping it this year and it's kind of a perfect storm on why>I like the campaigns but this one looks like low effort gay coop shit, doubling down on the lazy derivative dream/hallucination aesthetics>mp beta felt incredibly underwhelming, guns and movement feel stale, double jump mechanic felt like they came up with it two months ago because they needed to one up omni>battlefield 6 is the first one I've enjoyed since 1 so I have a backup game>raised goypass to $30 a month, I'd get bored of it in a month and there's nothing else there to play I don't already own or can pirateI liked the small zombies map though
I will play when it becomes zog propaganda again. I want to play as a soldier not Nicki Minaj shooting at fucking Homelander.
>>724335603>Ive been playing FPS longer than most people have been aliveNo you havnt>my one problem is that the aim assist is so strong i think everyone is cheating but im still going to play the gameYou do you, you delided fuck
>>724334784>No one giving a shit about CoDNo, gaming is healing.
>Microsoft killed Halo>They're now killing COD>Both of these were unkillable franchises in the 360 era
>>724334784>Battlefiled 6 is the most successful entry in the series>Delta Force is still among the most played games>PUBG and Apex Legends refuse to die despite their best effortsMaybe PajeetSoft is just sentient cancer that kills everything it touches?
>>724336097Not everything can last forever.
>>724336097Dont forget Microsoft killing Gears of War after epic left
>>724336097I am sill mad about Ensemble.
>>724334784>ActivisionYou mean, Microsoft, which is clearly attempting to exit the gaming market entirely.
>>724334784what did they do to kiki
>>724334784There were more than 2 of those???
>>724336097>Millennials are getting old>Zoomers and Alphas are playing Fortnite and RobloxReally father time is doing a better job of killing those franchises than M$.
>>724334784For me, this is why.
>>724336461I find it odd that Fortnite is a better at being a space for children than Roblox is these days.
>>724336461zoomers are getting old too, I'm almost thirty and grew up with the franchise playing every single one on release since the big red one
>>724335084The modern COD games are both on Steam and Battle.net. However, everyone who knows the slightest thing about COD on PC knows that modern CODs should NEVER be bought on Steam. It's a fucking mess on Steam. Frequent random disconnects, way lower framerate, just less stable game overall compared to Battle.net.Having said that, I have no doubt in my mind this COD is not looking too good compared to COD's standards when it comes to pre-orders. Will it fail? I highly doubt it, but this won't break any records. Positive ones at least
>>724334784>blops flopsgaming is healing
>>724336642Good morning sar.
>Gen A are getting groomed on Roblox>the majority of Zoomers are playing fortnite/minecraft/gatcha/FotM streamer game and NEVER gave a shit about CoD. That is assuming they are not just doing social media shit insteadHere is the truth, the majority players who played CoD are now in their 30s and 40s. Now add in the fact the econ is shit and we are on the cusp of some kind of war or at least trade disruption Even the most dudebro of causal is not willing to pay for this shit anymore.
>>724336097they only bought cod because they planned to take it away from playstation and get the head of gamepass a bonus for hitting his target subscriber goals (even if putting it on gamepass loses shitloads of money for the company overall)both of these failed, with the courts blocking exclusivity and gamepass subscription numbers stagnating. they have no more use for it and don't know how to manage a vidya studio anyway so might as well kill it and be done.
I've said for years that if COD would chop their releases into three separate games (Campaign, Zombies, Multiplayer), I would buy the Campaign and Zombies. Having seen the campaign trailers for Black Ops 7, I wouldn't even buy it this go around. Keep in mind though, I haven't played any COD since Cold War, and it was a let down to say the least.
>>724336851>Entire genre of games now called boomer shooters>Caters to young zoomers and older alphas>CoD is the type of shooter that was largely panned and/or reviled in its own time>Actual older people are now nostalgic for that type of shooterThis genre sure is weird with its demographics.
>>724336546Im not, as soon as you learn what Roblox originally was and what it was intended, this was just the natural progress.What's shocking is the complete ineptitude and/or malevolence the people who run it have.
>>724336531>Old shitbox with cheapo mobo can't run the latest shit because it can't be spied on as easilyWhat a fucking world.
>>724337425>Roblox was always intended to be a den of degeneracy and child groomingI'm almost certain this course could have been averted if the people in charge actually gave a fuck about their reputation more than the money they generate from taking advantage of kids.
>>724337507I can easily run it.
I havent touched COD since ghosts came out and the time i had alot of fun was COD4 when it came out.
>>724334784Honestly I'm shocked it doesn't have some bullshit inhouse launcher or does it and I'm not aware?
>>724334784>franchise is shit>everyone is complaining but still playing cuz there is no good alternative>developer don't do shit because dump sheep will play it anyway>competition release better/good enough game>everyone jumps ship>devs are shitting themselves because now they need to actually try harderSame thing happened with OW2 and MR
>>724334784should i wishlist this just to troll and not buy it?
>>724335872No you aren't lol. You're a retarded faggot NPC who will consoom new product. Now stfu and go back to being the slave class and keeping people like me(master class) rich as fuck.Lol you slaves never fucken learn
>>724334784>top 150 wishlisted gamesIs there a website that tracks this somewhere? I'd be curious to see that list.
>>724334784Wishlists are for games you're not going to be hearing about 24/7 leading up to the release so you may miss them.
>>724335117BF6 is bad aswell, they couldn't even meet the same bar BF:BC2 set. The entire battlefield series has been getting routinely embarrassed by previous games.There are almost no good AAA games left, its just goyslop.
>>724337936>Franchise is shitIt's not though. Its still one of the best feeling/playing fps's out there. Everyone is just mentally over CoD because it's core player base OG fans are older and moving on. CoD 4 was a looong time ago and we're still feeling the influence
>>724338152Valid. It's like why the fuck would I wishlist gta6
>>724334784>COD is selling like shit.>Pokémon is selling like shit.Gaming is healing from low effort slop.
>>724334784The game is borderline unplayable on PC, you're against console players who have>none or reduced recoil on every gun>the strongest autoaim ever put into a online FPSNot to mention on PC you have almost no visibility when you're shooting due to Graphix and muzzle flarePC also players can't use ironsights due to the visibility issues so you always at a disadvantage from using a weapon mod slot on sights
>>724334784Healing*
I've been mentally "over" CoD since BLOPS 4. Played like two games of warzone, got first place, and went "cool, I beat the game" then never touched it again
Roblox
>cod>steamlollmao evenpc players are primarily on battlenet but the majority of players are on console>>724338456aim assist is getting nerfed at launch>you have almost no visibility when you're shooting due to Graphix and muzzle flare>playing on high visuals in a competitive game
>>724334784stop buying trash slop from the current biggest companies, and they will figure out how to make good games or shut downYOU, yes YOU (im looking at you) can change the fate of all of videogames as we know itSTOP BUYING GOYSLOP FROM KIKESonly then can videogames heal and creativity can return
>>724335353kek
>>724339275>pc players are primarily on battlenet>she believes itlmao
>>724340283no one plays on steam because it has performance issues compared to the battlenet and gamepass versions
>>724335353Anon you agreed with him...
>>724340507how many people are aware of that? not a lot
test
>>724338310>Gaming is healing from low effort slop.Isn't the latest pokemon the definition of low effort slop?
>>724338310>Pokémon is selling like shitIt has just broken record in US lmaoEat shit retard>>724340894You too
COD is a millennial franchise no zoomers care about it
>>724334784AAA gaming is dying*
>>724341105I'm not denying it is selling well. I'm saying it looks like low effort slop. Retard
>SLAP THAT BASS
>>724334784lol MS does it again...
>>724337507>my 15-year-old computer would totally be running all those AAA games if it weren't for security features sure
>Delta Force is still among the most played games
>Microsoft bought COD for $70B just for it to implodeLOL
>>724349241thats botted to hell too
CoD has always been a console game.
>>724334784NATALIE MARS??
>>724338152For me it's for games I want to play but are too overpriced to warrant buying them for the time being.
>>724334784COD hasnt been big on PC since MW2.
If Battlefield doesn't fuck up their battle royale in a few days, CoD is dead until their new BR comes out next year.
If you want money, fix Zombies.Cursed is a step in the right direction, but we still have Cold War era Zombies and Armor systems.
>>724349639The best CoD experience (Black Ops 3 Zombie mods) is PC only thoughbeit
>>724335484It's Kiernan Shipka, an actress they got for it.Sadly they made her an ugly brunette when she's a cute blonde.
>>724336097COD was dying before Microshart bought it though
>>724350213>they turned the cunny from Mad Men into a manfaced bitchI'm going to be sick.
>>724334784Gaming is healing
>>724336097As a westerner that hates east asian games, this is extremely infuriating.
>>724345997you are bad at trolling
>>724334784>expecting steam purchases>when everyone who wants it can get it on gamepass for a fraction of the priceUnless you're an actual extremely hardcore CoD player you won't play it for more than a few months at the very most, so why bother buying it on steam?There's no argument for it, Call of Duty on gamepass is absolutely murdering its sales margins and I don't know how the fuck they think it's a good thing.
>>724334784Finally put COD to rest. They keep beating the dead horse.
>>724349241>99% of complaints are about cheatersPC multiplayer games can't catch a break. Is this crossplay too? Did enjoy the gameplay for a bit on PC, but dropped it due to so many currencies and menus feeling like playing a gacha.
>>724336097>Killed Halo, COD, Gears, Banjo (after buying Rare), Fable>PS3 gains so much traction over the 360 gen because of totally dogshit management that they just get run over by the PS4 after the Xbone gaffeI don't know how you even get this bad at it, M$ turn everything they touch into raw fecal matter.
>>724351620>I don't know how you even get this bad at itProbably the same way a lot of stuff in the West has declined, prioritizing checking boxes instead of merit based hiring.
>>724334784It looks like fucking trash, even for a Call of Duty game. And isn't it on gamepass anyway?
>COD BOPS 7 TRAILERhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9txkGBj_trg
>>724350213jesus christ i've stared at her face for literal hours and didn't recognize herhow has this entire industry forgotten what a human face looks like? games 10 years ago were dead on
>>724334784Tbh, the Beta wasn't THAT bad. Well, the mode where they supposedly turned off SBMM wasn't that bad....and yes I still got my ass kicked but it was actually just as fun, if not more as BF6 and it's clusterfuck wannabe CoD maps.
>>724334784Deserves to flop for turning Kiki into that abomination
>>724334784everything is dying, reallyyoutube isn't the samegaming isn't the sameseries and shows aren't the samethe internet overall isn't the samemovies aren't the samemusicn isn't the samepc isn't the sameit's all slop
>>724334784damn what did they do to her
>>724335353>call of duty player pretends to have standards
>>724334784Doesn't that mean there's at least 150 games that are more notably anticipated on steam than the latest CoD installment? Seems gaming is thriving once you take the blinders off. Id be more worried if nothing could top a dead horse on the charts
>>724334784Who is this semen demon?
>>724354704My wife Kiki
>>724334784>fart of duty
82% of CoD sales come from Playstation, steam is irrelevant
>>724334784Good. CoD turned to shit when they started pandering to the sweaty ADHD ridden zoomers where you have to be on Adderall to hit anything.
>>724334784>Bored one weekend, decide to try the BO7 playtest>Have to go into my fucking BIOS to even get it to run>Finally get into a match after 2 or 3 "update requires restart :)">It's shit, bad gunplay, bad movementAll of the Treyarch CoDs in the past 10 years have been bad
>>724335532It's amazing gamers still buy these games. You end up paying hundreds of eurodollars only to have a new COD come out after 2 years.
>>724334784Why did they copy Shadowheart
>>724334784Maybe they should've put in attractive women with big tits
The COD launcher trying to include every COD game since 2019 is tedious afBlack Ops 7, like a Nightmare on Elm Street 7, just sounds like shitty unimaginative sequelitis. If anything a COD that's set in a pro-Ukraine NATO invasion of Russia, or intervention in Ukraine, would seem way bolder and more relevant and probably sell more. No-one enjoys the hallucinations and shit in the black ops series apart from in the first one.Warzone also taking away some interest from the regular multiplayer modeGeneral fatigue with a franchise that's catering to gamers who grew up 20 years ago and is struggling to seem fresh whatever it does. Kids don't really want to play what Dad is playing.These are the contributing factors.
>>724334784i haven't played CoD since blops 1
>>724334784That sounds to me like gaming is healing.
>>724334784Everyone who play these games are old people in their late 30's early 40's and they probably moving on and not even gaming as much anymore, and as we all know zoomers are not buying games unless it is some garbage FOTM sold for $15 and shilled by big streamers. As for me I just started my yearly end of year playthrough of Shining Force 3 Scenario 1-2-3. The only future games I'm interested in are Stellar Blade 2, FF7R Part 3 and Persona 6 in 2040 on PS8.
>>724336353Gears of War 4 is the best title in the series by a mile.
>>724356981You know damn well the Ukrainian side will be marvel super heroes who do no wrong. MW19 was bad enough portraying head chopping Syrian rebels as feminist freedom fighters, and not once mentioning Islam.
>>724335353But tryharding movement mechanics are something boomers love, they're the ones that saddled us all with dealing with it despite the bugs responsible could have easily started being fixed years before they were
>>724336353to be fair that was by designthey decided to rebrand gears as "you go girl" and a woman with mommy problems and her 2 simpsthey dont even hide they are not interested in the old audience
No, it is healing. People are no longer willing to play bad games and rehashed corporate/AAA slop any longer.
>goyslop aim-assist controller cronus zen fuckfest made for retards>excited for thiswho?
>>724338039>Lol you slaves never fucken l-ack
>>724338091You can see it right on steam but there are also websites that give better readouts, just search steam top wishlists.There's always something in the top 10 you've never heard of
Bobby Kotick seriously got away with some highway robbery when he sold Activision Blizzard for 69 billion. I can't but respect his cold business mind, he saw the writing on the wall that Call of Duty and Blizzard were both clearly past their heyday, just like what happened to Tony Hawk and Guitar Hero, but this time they had nothing to replace them with.It's basically akin to buying Marvel after Avenger's Endgame, yeah, on paper it's a huge get, but in reality you already missed the glory days. Microsoft bought on empire that had already peaked.
>>724359147>look it up>2016holy shit. let it go man, that was 9 years ago
>>724362416Let what go? I'm simply refuting the point that the series got worse without Epic. It continued to improve with 4, then declined only with 5.
>>724334784>everything microshaft touches turns to shit
