Nice to see Rogue Legacy 2 and Theatrhythm get shoutouts. I don’t see those mentioned very often.

Too bad activision already made the game pay to win or I’d have come back.

Fuck em now

Well they better let the devs work on it this time

Do I need to play the first 2023 Call of Duties or can I just jump right in? 🤔

Why9,

Nothing significant has changed since the original modern warfare. At this point they’re bringing back “classic” maps from like 4 years ago? They’re clutching at straws.

Don’t get me wrong; it’s a fun game. It’s probably the best multiplayer shooter out there, but it’s wrapped up in many, many layers of turds and disappointment.

  • The launcher
    I hope the Microsoft acquisition means they do away with it and go back to a regular launcher.
  • The battlepass
    I wish games stopped treating me as a product and made games that were just fun, like Baldurs Gate 3 did. I shouldn’t have a battlepass that prioritises player engagement and forces me to be connected to the game season after season as if I’m on some sort of life support machine. Just let me unlock some cool skins and let me go and play some of the other games without feeling like I’m missing out.
  • Annual releases
    When Warzone came out, and they had their first iteration of the new kind of Call of Duty games (with battlepasses), I won’t lie, it was some of the most fun I’d had since the original Modern Warfare games. Why throw it away and abandon that game for another one that comes out a year later and just sucks? Yes, it makes them more money but it fragments the player base and forces you to abandon all the perks you’ve spent ages unlocking through the battlepass.
astanix,

This is such a great reply filled with disappointment. I did play MW2 quite a bit. DMZ was fun. My wife and I played MP a lot too. I bought her the battle pass one time and she was able to get it again multiple times just from the coins obtained from completing it.

Thank you for such a well thought out reply!

billiam0202,

It’s probably the best multiplayer shooter out there

Maybe on console, but if you’re on PC you should be playing Battlebit Remastered.

Why9,

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out for sure!

pycorax,

It doesn’t scratch the same itch though. Battlebit is more for larger scale battles like Battlefield the game it was inspired from. Cod is significantly more arcadey, smaller scale and faster paced.

Marin_Rider,

the playlist is what annoys me, just give us all game modes now not 8 months later

100_percent_a_bot,

You certainly need to play COD MW4 2nd 2019 remaster gold edition to follow along with the lore /s

No shit.

The fact that this is probably a fairly non-controversial pick in a year that arguably had a bumper crop of great games really underscores just what an amazing game this is.

Absolutely deserves it.

Larian out there reminding people that great game companies win awards not lawsuits.

Great game companies don’t win lawsuits?

Revan343,

Ideally great game companies don’t have to deal with lawsuits

Truly, trying to decide between BG3 and Alan Wake 2 when voting for GOTY was like trying to pick a favorite parent, or child. Both so good, and huge achievements in unique ways. Stacked year for awards, that’s for sure!

Microsoft is becoming the Spotify of gaming. You own nothing, they pay the creators garbage and we are so dependent on the system it’s hard to leave it.

We need to resist this.

It’d be great if they re-released sc2 but retconned most of the story to make it not flaccid and disappointing. WITH A BETTER ENDING FOR TYCHUS. TYCHUS WAS HILARIOUS.

This will be the first (big) update of the game, since I purchased and played it. To me its Cyberpunk 2077 v1.1.

echo64, do games w Phil Spencer Reiterates That Xbox Is Excited About Activision-Blizzard’s Back Catalog

Excited about renting it out to you a month at a time with an ever increasing cost

RGB3x3,

For now, at least, Game Pass is definitely the best deal in subscriptions these days. It’s honestly wild to me that it’s not more expensive.

But for sure give it time and it’ll be like $500 a year.

Phegan,

I suspect they are taking the Spotify approach. They will have a low price for a great value to monopolize the market. Then over time increase the price and reduce features and value.

echo64,

Netflix a decade ago. Wow, this is so amazing. What a deal. How could it go wrong

Netflix today, okay, which subscription service to we get this month, I want to watch this show, but Sarah wants to watch that show and the other show we were watching got deleted from the service so we just can’t watch that one. If only we could learn from this situation

Gamepass is a “great deal” because Microsoft office pays for it.

Goronmon,

Netflix was cheap because no one valued streaming rights initially, and thus there was little competition for those rights. Once companies realized how valuable the service was, prices shot up.

One of those strange situations where increased competition increased prices.

echo64,

Yes, that makes the gamepass situation even more egregious. Everyone knows the cost of making games, but only Microsoft can afford to literally lose money for a decade to secure dominance.

No one can compete because everyone else has to run a real business

pycorax,

That’s fine. Nothing is stopping you from dropping it once it becomes a bad deal. I cancelled Netflix once the price became ridiculous. For games, it’s even easier, there’s many alternatives both legal and illegal.

echo64,

Yes, we can all do that once the industry has been irrevocably changed forever, and now nothing gets made outside of subscription services

pycorax,

What makes you think that will actually happen? Games still make a lot purely from game sales. Not to mention a lot of absurd cash grabs like the latest CoD would fail to work when there’s only subscription models. Besides, despite how cheap these services have been, game sales have not dropped either.

echo64,

You 15 years ago: What makes you think movies will only be available on subscription services? they make a lot of money selling things physically today, Netflix is just a side revenue, it won’t change anything.

despite how cheap these services have been, game sales have not dropped either.

aside from on xbox.

pycorax,

I can still access movies outside of subscription services so I’m not sure what you’re on about.

Master Chief, Conker, Commander Keen and Vault Boy in Heroes of the Storm, got it!

Bringing back Guitar Hero and making it Xbox exclusive would surely turn some heads.
