Wtf, happened to CoD? Such a hello kitty show.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Things went out the window for me when Niki Minaj killed Messi with a neon green sub-machinegun. You'd think that would be a great game, but it's a bit too much for my likings.

I never really agreed when people said that they want their super realistic call of duty, but this really is just absurd. Even if these skins were free is would be obnoxious. At this point you can only blame the poeple who buy that garbage

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

I haven't played any CoD games since maybe 2010 and thought you were being silly. Holy fucking shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

They usually get it right when they do "tacticool" stuff too. But this shit feels like they're trying way too hard to appeal to the Fortnite crowd

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Lol I thought you were joking. There's actually a Niki Minaj skin in the game, holy fuck haha

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

And you're not talking about Fortnite, correct?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

People love it and spend $20+ on these skins over and over again.

This site has the most infuriating privacy popup I have ever seen, theres a tab for 1400 partner consents. Like what?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Malicious compliance mixed with "let's see you click all that shit". I don't think the devs wanted to implement this...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Duck duck go web browser can set all that to necessary only for every website and you don't have the pop up

I downloaded it on my phone jumped through their explanation stuff and it came up as a prompt option

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Have you tried Consentomatic? It usually takes care of those and deactivates them automatically.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I actually opened it in safari just to see, but it did not seem like it managed to, at least on iOS.

I don't know how many people are behind this, but I think they implement the consent frameworks manually, so if it doesn't work you can report the website in the extension and help other people in the future with your contribution!

Don't worry they will release a $70 upgrade that tones it down soon.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Probably a 200 GB download too.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

You mean the season pass? Great! Everybody knows games suck if you can't pay 70$ for seasonal cosmetics every 3 months

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

What a joke of a franchise.

Now that's some pay to lose shit if I've ever seen it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

How it should be ofc

Pay to flex on em

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Jesus, and I thought gold camo in black ops 1 was obnoxious.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Haha. Those who bought that deserve it. They've been enabling that shit by buying everything they release. They are two steps away from being sold dog shit and buying it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

A gun literally caked in dogshit. Flies buzzing around it, your character cringes as they reload it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Looks like a skin from Cruelty Squad. john-cruelty

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Watching Activision burn is great. What a shit company with shit ideas. No wonder another dumpster company like Microsoft wanted it. Shit sticks together.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Why does every game have to have neon, cute, annoying bullshit cosmetics now. It's a fucking war game. Even PUBG caved in and became an obnoxious dress-up game. Yea, really helps set the tone of abandoned, grim wasteland.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It really does look like a texture glitch.

That fucking sucks if it's intentional.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Conversely I’ll just roast all CoD players, for continuing to play and spend money on a franchise with all the genuine creative vision of a photocopier and all the predatory financial behaviour of an online gambling website.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@Fallstar 60 buck skin? What the actual hell? Have some self respect. Play something else

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it is wild.

But people are free to spend money on whatever they like.

I waste plenty of money of Nerf blasters LOL.
