It’s CoD. You’re asking why people drink coke if you don’t like coke.

Also, steam FPS reviews are full of people on full tilt. Use better review sources.

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Nah, cod is an objectively bad game. Fight me

@killeronthecorner@lemmy.world avatar

Leave it in a steam review bruh

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Im not referring to any particular cod game. Im referring to the whole series. Its triple A garbage that is churned out like pop music and its boring. Every new game is a rehash of a previous one with no innovation and more monetization.

Its not a review of the game. Its an opinion about the capitalist nature of the companies who make these games and how shit it is.

@killeronthecorner@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah it was a joke man. CoD is exactly as you described but it’s irrelevant to the people playing it.

Sports fans go and watch the same team play similar games dozens of times over many many seasons. That’s what CoD is to its fans (FIFA, NFL, etc., similarly).

Both are not for me, but I get why other people like it.

Mr_Dr_Oink,

Ahh, sorry im so dumb sometimes. I think i spent too long on reddit in the before times and see any text as starting a fight :p

Uniquitous, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 19th

I’ve been enjoying this season of football, so at nearly 50 I decided to try Madden for the first time. I’m… not very good. At all.

Valliac,
@Valliac@beehaw.org avatar

I think the better question would be WHICH Madden?

I’m personally a PS1 Madden enjoyer, but the more recent ones feel so bogged down for ‘realism’ that it sucks the fun out of the game.

That being said, Tecmo Super Bowl on the NES (and the roster update versions online) is the best football game, hands down.

Uniquitous,

Madden 26 on PS5, jumping right into the deep end of the pool. I heard Tecmo Super Bowl was fun but broken as hell; like it was on the honor system not to see which play the computer was going to run. Kind of an inversion of the “Computer is a Cheating Bastard” trope.

Valliac,
@Valliac@beehaw.org avatar

If you’re able to, grab a rom from the Tecmo bowl updaters. Theyve tweaked the AI to choose plays you can’t see on the screen (to prevent knowing the play) and updated for current rosters/stats/etc.

It’s well past the “pick Bo Jackson and win” stages

gwl, do games w Why would I buy this?

Ah it’s very simple, you would buy this if you’d made your whole personality about being a GAMER, where you believe that the only real games are FPS PvP War Simulation, and everyone that plays anything else is a poseur.

87Six,

And even then there’s Battlefield 1 which got all the content unlocked now, is fairly cheap, the servers are going strong, and it’s really really fun.

gwl,

Ah see but, Bf1 is “woke”

87Six,

Battlefield 1 is the one set in WW 1 where everything is muddy and you can’t even choose a woke skin

gwl,

Ah but it paints fascism in a negative light, therefore woke

TigerAce,
Blackmist, do games w Why would I buy this?

You wouldn’t. You’d buy Titanfall 2 for a whopping £2.49, and play a great (if short) single player campaign and then delete it.

If only for Effect and Cause, which is right up there with the best levels in any game.

  1. This game was not a good COD.
  2. This game was released in 2021, so it’s like if you buy now FIFA 2021 or NBA 2021, nobody is playing it.
  3. The 175€ DLC is just cosmetics. Cammos for the weapons, skins operators and so on. Not needed.
  4. COD Points are just to buy cosmetics like the included in the 175€ DLC, so it’s not pay to win. Just pay to look “cool”.

PS: Don’t buy this shit.

I’m looking forward to the B42 multi-player release so much! Can’t wait!

You are missing the most important issue. It only runs on Windows!

sk1nnym1ke,

Nearly all games with a online pvp mode run on windows.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

Not fully true. Yes a lot of games run on Windows.. But a lot of them also run on Linux, in some cases even Native, in other cases using Wine/Proton from Valve. See: https://www.protondb.com/

A lot of online pvp games do work under Linux as well. But then again.. AAA games are the most problematic.. because they just stuck, and get ignored by the devs/publishers. I'm looking at you EA!

TowardsTheFuture,

To be fair that icon doesn’t mean much of anything cuz you can just force compatibility in Linux and use proton, you just gotta manually do that in properties.

This is probably windows only because of kernel level anticheat though so it probably still holds up.

CosmoNova,

I haven‘t encountered a Steam game that doesn‘t run on Linux so far. They very likely exist but anti cheat, third party account requirements, or an online connection while playing don‘t have anything to do with it as far as my games go. Same goes for GOG, Amazon Games and Epic Games on Heroic launcher. It just works as far as I can tell.

Klajan,

You are lucky then. If you play lots of multiplayer games you are bound to encounter one that doesn’t work.

Most modern Call of Duty and Battlefield games do not work for example.

According to areweanticheatyet.com only 40% of Games with Anti cheat work on Linux…

CosmoNova,

It would never occur to me to install CoD or Battlefield in the year 2025. So yeah, Guess I am lucky for having standards. Hopefully more people will realize there are other fantastic multiplayer games out there that run on a Steamdeck for example.

TigerAce,

What computers and airconditioners have in common is that they become useless when you open windows.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I suppose we just have to hope the air conditioner doesn't suddenly hit us with a BSOD!

TigerAce,

Or AI integration and ads

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

I'm pretty sure they do already have AI integration on the latest models..

TigerAce,

Wtf with what reason xD The whole AI integration into basic things supposed to do basic things is stupidness of a dystopian degree. A bed with AI? It’s just a mattress. Why, just why. An AC just needs to cool to a certain temp. Why does it need AI, to get a relationship with it? What’s next, tables with AI?

zabby, do games w The Outer Worlds 2 | Review Thread

I’m SO relieved!!! I enjoyed the first one more than most people. At the time I was in a rut where most video games were not enjoyable or fun. Then the first game came out and I felt alive again from the SECOND the music started on the title screen!

I’ve been looking forward to the second one for years and I’m so relieved that Microsoft didn’t fuck it up.

!deleted6348 avatar

I’m taking it as it was mostly completed by the time Microsoft bought them, the story and everything had already been decided, so hopefully an easy win for Obsidian. Future titles started under Microsoft though… idk

I enjoyed the first planet but the ones after that didn’t feel as good.

No. Absolutely nothing on that front so far. Not even slightly close!

@catalyst@lemmy.world avatar

Never heard of this game but it looks neat! I appreciate good construction and those player boards with the inset tiles look really slick.

AwesomeLowlander,

It’s #3 on BGG! Sadly those double layer player boards aren’t part of the base game though.

Aaah well, that’s too funny. Guess that shows how disconnected I am from the community haha. 🤣

yakko, do gaming w The Struggle of Finding a Chill Game Site 💀

Give Newgrounds a go maybe, lots of games. Varying quality, but it’s unburdened by the disappointments of modern browsing.

Or grab an emulator app and play some real games. Back to your roots. My mid tier phone can run PS2 easily.

gamedrop,

That gamedrop site’s pretty useful too.

mysticpickle,

It’s a spammer bro.

This post is spam guys. Account literally made 2 hours ago and posts nonsense with a disguised link attached.

Goes without saying but you probably shouldn’t click this dude’s link

You gotta throw some sick shaders on there fam 😎

I’m not sure they offer shaders for 360 Edition unfortunately lol. Childhood me spent hours scouring google trying to find how to add mods and shaders

actualaccount, do games w Why would I buy this?

I got Necesse too! It was about 6 bucks. Can’t beat that price. Runs on a potato also.

Korhaka,

I should play that again, probably start a new world/char because so much has changed since I got it almost 4 years ago.
