This issue with Call of Duty is that they are all the same every year now, and the campaign are incredibly mid.
They have lost the yearly cycle of engines/setting were Infinity Ward (MW), Treyarch ( and even Sledgehammer at the end before merge all had games that felt different.
For campaigns, the narrative is no longer planned out. Rather than multi game storytelling, they're just making it off the cuff when the next game comes along. It's why MW 2019 was so unbelievably good as a reboot for the MW series, but MW2 and MW3 were diabolically bad - they gave up after two poo-stain games with Cold War and Vanguard
I haven't played the campaign yet which is strange in itself, as normally the first thing I do every year, and I think 6/7 would be reasonable before the campaign.
So if the campaign is as bad as people are saying, a 5/6 sounds about right.
Boycotts like the one surrounding this game are always really dumb.
Why punish a studio with hundreds of employees over once clown, yet when studios hammer crunch and are known for bad practices e.g. Ubisoft, people turn a blind eye.
Oh, and you still by your consoles and accessories made in sweat shops in China made by slaves :/
Glad the game was successful and can't wait to play once i've trudged through my backlog a little more.
@AhmadSumadi crazy right! Baiting you into the article like that's the only reason for review bombing, then burying some of the actual main criticisms.
Honestly, this is actually the kind of silly extreme collector’s edition I could get behind.
It’s daft and ridiculous but it’s fun. Plus if you’re a huge fan of the franchise willing to pay, i’m sure there’s a bunch of signed merch involved too from the developer.

Re: Naughty Dog Forces Crunch to Get PS5 Exclusive Intergalactic 'Back on Track' for Mid 2027 Release
You’d be surprised how many developers big and small do this, but of course let’s highlight it in bright lights against Naughty Dog…smh

Re: 2016's The Division Now Runs Smoother Than Ever on PS5
Now this is a Christmas surprise!!
I love The Division 1 and have been wishing for a 60fps update for years.
Now we just need AC Unity at 60fps and life will be perfect.
Re: This Is the New Voice of Lara Croft in the PS5 Era of Tomb Raider Games
What a shambolic and embarrassing little comment section this turn into cause of one person’s incredibly strange analysis of a VIDEO GAME.
Love all versions of Lara, killing everyone as she sees fit for her circumstances. Can’t wait to kill with this new and returning Lara too.
Anyway, i’m off to watch Season 2 of the Tomb Raider Netflix show ✌🏻

Re: PlayStation Winds Back Time with Awesome 30th Anniversary Watch Collection

It's like those cheap hoop toss handheld thingies we had as kids off the local market 😂
Re: 'Deeply Concerning': GTA Dev's Alleged Union Busting Has Now Reached the UK Prime Minister
Trust me, Starmer doesn't care about this situation in the slightest, or the working man.
I do hope these sacked employees get the best outcome though, awful situation.

Re: 'The Franchise Has Not Met Your Expectations': Call of Duty Vows to Overdeliver After Black Ops 7 Misfire
@zhoont I get opinions are a thing but this is such a bad one 😂
COD4, MW2, MW3, BO1, BO2, WWII, MW (2019) were all better than this. It's good but lets be real.

Re: Sony Accused of Using Generative AI Art for PlayStation Advent Calendar Promo
They've looked like this for years tbh - I do the German one every year.
It's really not that big a shock if you've been participating long enough, plus how can you prove it's AI?
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for December 2025?
Anyone saying it's a crap selection doesn't deserve games.
The entitled cry baby mob lives on.
Re: You Can Buy a Fully-Fledged PS5 for the Same Price as a Less Powerful Xbox Series S Right Now
@Oram77 "My only fear is what will be the price of a PS6 be, £550? 600? £700?"
You didn't specifically say whether you thought the prices were good or bad, but your sentence above literally suggests the latter.
PS3 was expensive for the time, but to compare the Sony of 20 years ago with today is misguided.
Re: You Can Buy a Fully-Fledged PS5 for the Same Price as a Less Powerful Xbox Series S Right Now
@Oram77 PS3 was 20 years ago, those prices you mentioned are completely reasonable for consoles in this climate.
Not trying to defend corporations from charging higher prices, but you have to be realistic.
Unfortunately something most people these days (at least in PushSquare comment sections) aren't capable of.

Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 (PS5) - The Most Absurd Game in Series History
I haven't played the campaign yet which is strange in itself, as normally the first thing I do every year, and I think 6/7 would be reasonable before the campaign.
So if the campaign is as bad as people are saying, a 5/6 sounds about right.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 UK Sales Plummet 61% Compared to Black Ops 6
Call of Duty will always outsell "normal" games regardless, it's almost too big to fail.
The only thing that will stop Call of Duty is itself, and as long as they put out anything PAR or higher, they'll be fine.
Re: Here's Your First Look at Sony's Zelda Movie, Film Shots Revealed

Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
@jerrylongbones don’t have an Xbox anymore. Sold it the moment I realised what a monumental waste if money is was and got all my money back.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 1 Confirmed for PS5, Out 2nd December
RDR coming to mobile phones whilst GTA IV is stranded on PS3 is actually disgusting.
Re: Somehow, We're Already on the Sixth Game in Milestone's RIDE Series
Great series of game tbf, seeing Guy Martin have an in-game model is brilliant - such a character.
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Is Still Gunning for Live Service Success with New Multiplayer Shooter
I really wish they just continued development on The Division Heartland.
I feel that's a F2P game that would have hit for them.
Arc Raiders has filled the gap left by it's cancellation.
Re: Ghost of Yotei PS5 Sales Surpass 3.3 Million Units, Crush Boycott Nonsense

Re: The UK Government Shoots Down 'Stop Killing Games' Campaign in Official Debate
Our government doesn't care if it's people live or die, becomes clearer everyday.
So unfortunately, they aren't going to care about a little video game being shut down.
Re: 'PS Portal Users Are More Engaged Than Non-Users': Sony's Hit Handheld Outperforms All Other Remote Play Methods
It's an obvious bit of a data but it's just another reason to tell people how great the Portal really is.
Genuinely couldn't recommend it enough. Used it all weekend with the footy on in the background.
Re: GTA 6 Delayed Again, Pushed Back to November 2026

Re: Open Source PS2 Emulator Now Plays Almost Entire Console's Library

Journalism today honestly!
Re: Open Source PS2 Emulator Now Plays Almost Entire Console's Library
@DonkeyFantasy Link?
I can only see console software updates.
Re: Open Source PS2 Emulator Now Plays Almost Entire Console's Library
@Jrs1 well if they openly tell you to download the BIOS online instead they’d be in trouble with Sony 🤦🏻♂️
Re: Football Manager 26 Given a Red Card on PC for Putting PS5 Players First
@get2sammyb @UltimateOtaku91 I did see that, but its kinda buried 9 sentences into the article on a throwaway line.
Re: Football Manager 26 Given a Red Card on PC for Putting PS5 Players First
@UltimateOtaku91 unfortunately people wouldn’t click on that headline, so they need bait people somehow.
There will be a follow up article about the rest i’m sure.
Re: Rockstar Says GTA Worker Firings Were Over Leaks, Not Unionising
@tameshiyaku you must not buy many games if this is controversial for you 😂
Re: Rockstar Says GTA Worker Firings Were Over Leaks, Not Unionising
@nessisonett I mean, Rockstar will have to supply evidence in court, so they must have a strong case.
Guess we’ll find out sooner or later.

Re: PS Plus Essential Subscribers Bemoan 'Crap Selection' in Latest Update
Entitled cry babies, that's the only way to put it.
Great selection of games and that's undeniable - anyone saying they're crap simply don't deserve to play video games at all.

Been saying it for years.

Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Really in Competition with TikTok?
TikTok is every entertainment medium’s competition, because it’s a time distraction. The same way Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Netflix etc all are.
But people who want to buy and play games will do so, and that isn’t going to be affected by an app like TikTok.

@Nepp67 is this the Pulse Elite headset you’re referring to?
Neither myself or 5 others I know have issues with it, weird.
Re: Sony's Social Media Tribute to the PS2 Borders on Insulting
I do genuinely wonder why everything is so negative sometimes.
Like is this article really required to try and drive more unnecessary hate for no reason.
A likely minimum wage employee on social media makes a quick little post of games to celebrate the 25th anniversary and it results in this.
