Modern Warfare original, which everyone praised as subversive when the US villain bombed itself but it was also a game with an entire mission replicating word for word a real AC-130 attack but instead of mosques it’s Russian houses. Then I think in a later CoD (or maybe a Battlefield?) you’re actually bombing a stronghold outside a mosque and fail if you destroy it.

It's just a kind of straightforward setup plot, I dunno what's not to get.

"The player controls Joseph Allen, an undercover CIA agent who participates in a mass shooting at a Moscow airport to gain the trust of a Russian terrorist group. The leader of the terrorists tells his co-conspirators, "Remember, no Russian", implying that speaking Russian would reveal their ethnic origins and through that affiliation to the Russian ultranationalists. At the end of the level, Vladimir kills Allen and reveals that he intended for Russian officials to find Allen's body and believe that the attack was instigated by the United States."

"That's that, you'd imagine. But if you keep shooting the baby, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has a special message for you, you absolute monster: "Are you serious?"

And then you're booted to the mission map screen, Infinity Ward's words of condemnation still ringing in your ears."

I am baffled and unsure what to do with the knowledge that people actually purchased the Fallout 1st pass. I really don't care at all about these people being harassed, but also no one is in the right here for playing for Fallout 76 in the first place.

You'd have to put in every character from the first game for that to work, and the rumours suggested a smaller roster

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


I'm thinking they will keep it because the rumor is overwatch 2 is just a bolted on coop mode and not actually a "2". Which would also be a good reason to work on the switch version now, so it can all just be integrated at launch.

Off the top of my head I want to say the Little Big Planet sequels, but with a big asterisk because I remember reading that there was a bunch of stuff that wouldn't transfer over to at least like LBP3 at launch and I thiiink eventually they fixed that problem with the game at least. And this included paid DLC costume parts from the first two games.

"Empty" is also a criticism I hear of literally every open world game so I just assume anybody who says that about the maps just doesn't like the genre. Maybe unfair in this case, idk

Hard to brush off the other complaints but I'm still enjoying it. We'll see if I bounce off later

COD 1-3: Literally Saving Private Ryan

COD 4 Modern Warfare: Now its Black Hawk Down, but at the very end a nuke goes off so its also The Sum of All Fears

MW2+: Multiple Nukes! Russian Invasion! Red Dawn!

Then some stuff with Jon Snow in Space

Its been a weird progression.

Yeah this has become a big "What do you want?" point, yes, sometimes maps can be too big, but having a nice big map that's mostly populated, with some open areas and wilderness and all that is also nice, just traveling around and getting up places and all that is a fun part of a chunk of the games people gripe about it in.

How were the early Modern Warfares? Were they ra-ra as well

COD1-3 were like "soldiers are heroes" but at least kinda seemed somewhat like they respected war

MW1 was all "HO RAH DANGER CLOSE LETS GO SHOOTEMUP"

Even in MW1 there was a part that made me super uncomfortable where you're manning a turret gun and as you kill people the pilot is like "Good kills! Good kills! Nice. Light em up" and its just super creepy when the whole thing is rendered in an extremely realistic black & white grainy camera view

Oh and don't forget the "controversial" episode where you play a spy and you witness (and participate in) gunning down a whole airport of unarmed civilians because RUSSIANS BAD, TERRORISTS EVIL, NEVER FERGET :911:

Call of Duty also contributed to the downfall of competitive multiplayer games. Especially in the first person shooter space.

Outer Worlds is definitely mediocre and I'm strongly considering dropping it. It's a really shallow game and it's way under par for Obsidian. Dialogue choices are almost Fallout 4 bad, party members barely have any character and the game chastises you for trying to destroying the horrific capitalist slave state in a really mealy mouthed centrist way. It's more Bioshock Infinite than New Vegas in all respects.

Absolutely. COD multiplayer pushes the "everybody takes turns winning" approach, just spawning you in randomly 5 ft away from someone ready to shoot you, and giving people killstreaks to obsess over instead of just good shooting.

COD ruined Halo. Although that's really more 343's fault for being so stupid as to use the Halo IP to make COD games instead of making Halo games.
