I'm sure it was like this before but this image puts it into perspective. CoD was slop before, granted, but it still maintained some sort of identity as a war game with soldiers. But them chasing the BR/Fortnite crowd turned CoD into this.

CoD started off strictly as a World War II based series now if they made a World War II game their target audience would cry that CoD gone woke because you shoot Nazis.

I never cared about the skins they added. They're just cosmetic, and if people want to buy flashy skins that make them way easier for me to spot and shoot, then they can "pay to lose" all they want. I get why it bothers people, but as long as the game is fun, I didn't care about them.

The thing is, the game isn't fun anymore. The game balance is crap, the map design is crap, the post-launch support is crap, the games are full of bugs and glitches that take months to fix and sometimes even come back again later, and the matchmaking is one big algorithm that decides when you have a good game to keep you playing and when you're the victim for someone else's good game. But the shop always works! That's the one thing they make sure always works. They're clearly putting way more effort into these store bundles than they are into making the game itself fun to play.

I didn't buy BO6 (only tried it through Game Pass and quit after a few weeks) and I'm not gonna even bother with the upcoming game even for free.

They made a WW2 game a few years ago with Vanguard, and people cried woke because there were female and black operators playable. It was also one of the worst-performing and worse-received games in the franchise's history, so I strongly doubt they'll go back to WW2 any time soon, if ever.

CoD was slop back when MW and Blops became yearly installments in like, 2010.

But yes, the Fortnite-ification of everything sucks.

Crossovers are cool idea but got boring really quickly for me.

Nowadays it just feels it dilutes the identity of the work. Thats how I felt with UB in Magic.

Slop slop slop. Everything calls everything they don't like slop too much recently. It gets annoying, be a little more original.

Jokes on you I lost for free. I didn't pay for it, but I remember having a fun time with the Russian guy in an Easter Bunny suit.

I don't like that word thrown around either, but I feel like I'm using it correctly in this case. It's become unrecognizable.

Last year's MWIII had some wild crossovers too. Imagine walking into a building and seeing Iggy Azalea, Rey Mysterio, and an RX-78-2 Gundam camping with shotguns.

It started as a spinoff of the kickass Medal of Honor series.

But people have been complaining about it since, like, 2 or 3.

But truth be told, MoH was already getting stale well before that.

Same. I'll still watch Marksman, Wildcat, and those guys mess around for content (their videos back on MWIII of them using pride flag camos on their weapons and pissing off bigots were amazing) but I'm done playing the games myself at this point.

The point is the characters, which are from store bundles and are usable in multiplayer and warzone as well as zombies.

I agree and I'm glad to hear it! I actually really liked that Mario Kart World decided to add Mario only characters. People complained about that decision, but I love the Mario series and appreciate Swoop in my Mario game over Garfield. Crossovers can be fun, but a series needs to stand on its own to some degree. When all the big news about your game is that there is a crossover, I don't think that's a good thing tbh.

Yeah, Nintendo's reasoning is that with the open world design of the game they wanted the game to be firmly planted in the Mushroom Kingdom so it doesn't feel like a bunch of unrelated worlds mashed together. Definitely a solid way of handling it, I just wish the character roster was a little bit more...thoughtful I guess? Instead of filling it with enemy hazard characters.

Eh, to me, those enemies are the backbone of the series. They mean more to the history of Mario than some of the one-off fan-favorites tbh

It wasn't a spinoff, it was made by developers who left the team that made Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
