It's not surprising that COD has dropped to this level of quality ever since Activision decided to make the change of having the devs develop a game within 1 year compared to the usual 3 year rotation among Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer.
@Dogbreath The fast traveling being restricted is what makes it interesting and fun. Not having easy access to fast traveling makes is what makes DD and DD2 this fun roadtrip with your pawns and needing to plan out your route and your fast travel points(Similar to Death Stranding 1 and 2). The problem with DD2 however is the fact that they did not improve enemy variety or actually make the roads safer to travel around like it was stated by some of the characters so you're facing 2 or 3 enemy mobs too frequently.
@species A developer who not only sells you a game for $40 and then gives you 2 free bps on top of that with its premium currency isn't very predatory imo, but keep being condescending I guess. Can't please everyone.
@Dogbreath The game was great with its restrictrive gameplay systems. Only issue was that the constant combat and lack of enemy variety made it really tedious.
@Hi569 I wouldn't be surprised. It's so good and it actually respects your money by not slapping you in the face with a paid bp and $25 dollar cosmetics. It gives you essentially two battlepasses to go through for free along with giving you 1000 of its premium currency once you grind through it all.
Yeah I'll just never care to play these games when a lot of the choices don't matter. We're in the era where Detroit Become Human and Until Dawn show you can make a game where your choices matter and then you have these devs making an "interactive" film.
I wasn't going to buy it because of that piece of trash developer being incredibly disrespectful to Kirk's death, but decided against it once they properly fired her. People like that have no place in the gaming industry.
@Jammer She looks great and just simply older. I'm not getting the vibes you're getting and especially with that Annie Lennox comparison. We still haven't seen what her personality will really be like.
Yotei's gameplay and exploration is such a huge improvement over Tsushima's. Replacing question marks with map pieces to find and buy is such a great idea to encourage exploration. Then you also have the cards system that replaces the progression tab which I love as well. It definitely doesn't have as good of exploration compared to Elden Ring, but it's up there for sure.
Tbf Saints Row 2's boss says "You should've never ***** with my friends" to the Ronin gang boss, but I agree with you entirely. Literally just make it like Saints Row 1 and 2.
I was interested in it until I heard the dialogue. It just sounds like devs trying to be hip. Cool that they got MoistCritikal to voiceact as Sonar though.
@get2sammyb I literally play games that are popular, Fortnite just has a butt ugly art style that I do not like made even worse with its cringey emotes.
@Jammer Because it's pretty obvious that they're aiming for a specific audience and not trying to appeal to a casual audience. It's the weirdest thing when people can't respect a developer's vision. Find a different game, it is truly that simple.
@lazymike Word for word of what I said about Wilds. It suuucked that they completely removed so much of actually hunting down the monster from World and is now, rest a million times until you get the monster you're looking for and then let the seikret bring you to it.

Re: The Legend of Lara Croft Continues in Season 2 of Netflix's Tomb Raider Series
@BearsEatBeets There's something about the art style that makes it look so basic it makes me really dislike it.

Huge L after all of the RE demos theyve given
Re: Here's Your First Look at Sony's Zelda Movie, Film Shots Revealed
It's so weird how they didn't go with animation despite the Mario movie doing extremely well for them.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem's Leon Kennedy 'Leaks' Are Fake News, Says Capcom
I personally believe Dusk Golem on this because his leaks have been rather on point.
Re: The Lost Soul Aside Redemption Arc Starts in Tomorrow's Feature-Packed PS5 Update
After all of these improvements I think it's worth a look now. I'm still busy with Arc Raiders, but that'll be the next game I buy.
Re: The Lost Soul Aside Redemption Arc Starts in Tomorrow's Feature-Packed PS5 Update
@DennisReynolds Don't forget about the lies the devs made
Re: 'Very Vague' Rumour Claims Sony May Scale Back PC Ports of PS5 Games
If it's true for their single player games big win. Playstation needs true exclusives back while keeping live service titles on both PS5 and PC.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Single Player Campaign Is Being Torn Apart
Wow these devs have no idea what to do with COD anymore.
Re: Dispatch (PS5) - Interactive Superhero Show Is a Damn Good Time
Yeah I'll just never care to play these games when a lot of the choices don't matter. We're in the era where Detroit Become Human and Until Dawn show you can make a game where your choices matter and then you have these devs making an "interactive" film.

Re: 'We All Want Skate to Be Great': Skate Dev Pledges Improvements After Early Access Launch Issues
@nessisonett "The removal of the Hall of Meat and the bone breaks and stuff removes about 90% of the fun of Skate 3 too"
Definitely makes me think they're trying to cater to younger kids. Also would explain why they went with that ugly fortnite artstyle.
Re: In Case You Forgot About It, Here's a New Trailer for Let It Die: Inferno Ahead of Launch
It's been a long time since I played Let it Die and this one looks pretty good. Hope it turns out well!

Re: Poll: Is Fallout 4 Underrated, 10 Years Later?
Definitely a disappointment because Bethesda sucks at making dialogue choices and this was such a huge example of why they are bad at it.

Re: Halo Infinite Is in Fact Finite, Dev Focusing on Campaign Evolved for PS5

Ooooh I see they took some notes from Bungie, complete a challenge to be given the ability to pay $150 for a jacket. Greedy ****lords.
Re: Saints Row Prequel Could Be on the Cards as Original Dev Is Asked for Pitch
@DerGeistesKrank "we don't want friends"
Tbf Saints Row 2's boss says "You should've never ***** with my friends" to the Ronin gang boss, but I agree with you entirely. Literally just make it like Saints Row 1 and 2.
