I think Black Ops 2 was the last best all-round CoD game. Had a good campaign, great multiplayer and fantastic zombies. Black Ops 3 was good for the zombies. Treyarch were CoD's final hope after the other studios games fell of a cliff and they also fell apart after BO3.

I imagine studios will be rushing to make them off the back of BG3's success. It's better if a game is made in it's own time from passion, rather than trying to cash in on a current trend/genre popularity.

"I will pirate because you didnt give me sp dlc" is one of the craziest reasons ahaha. GTA 5 was good value all things considered, was a great game.

Reboot. Not a remake, the original characters and stories were great, the new ones are a fucking tradegy in comparison.

This is a reboot, reusing the same character names and stuff from the originals, but with different stories. I don't understand it myself, the generation that will play these games won't even remember MW. They should have just made new characters instead of tainting the existing ones.

Sorry, I wasnt calling people mindless, you are right that anyone can enjoy whatever they want. I was referring to 'mindless consumerism', where people arent really frugal and just buy whatever thing the big companies want to you to buy.

And the passion thing, obviously theres a lot of passionate people at big studios, but the leads of such places usually dont and bring it all down in the name of profit for them and their shareholders. Triple A is a money making machine, there's not a lot of innovation there anymore and a lot of the games are very unimaginative, regardless of how passionate the individual developers are.

Uno reverse on the troll claim. 2010 and 2011 were smurfing for triple A releases. I don't think any year since has held up to that era.

The games industry got fucking huge and most people are just mindless consumers who buy whatever is advertised to them. It sounds crazy, but people buy these $70 games, buy the 'deluxe' editions for almost double, then buy loads of cosmetics in game. And they do it every year. All these companies are going to do is milk this mindset, so triple A will never change.

Indie, as you say, is the way to go. Actual games made by passionate people, with (most of the time) no bullshit attached.

I think they had the ideas guy in once every couple years and then they just reused the shit of the mechanic he came up with at that time.

Some of the fanbase finally started to realise they were just being milked.

Yeah its fair enough, but it's easier to just use FF for me, I don't care if they want some anonymous usage statistics and trying to be fully private online is a fools errand. Base FF is good enough imo.
