The man speaks the truth.

Take my 14 year old brother for example - he is a die hard COD fans and play the game like it is crack cocaine. So I was in my room and my brother walks in while I was playing Uncharted 1 so I asked if he wanted a go at one of the puzzles....after 15 minutes of trying he just gives up and went back to playing COD.

Micro_Sony4673d ago

Also was I the only one who found the puzzles in UC1 a little more challenging than the puzzles in UC2?

Lets hope UC3 goes back to harder puzzles as I love solving them.

Ser4673d ago

I also felt the same about the puzzles in Uncharted 2. It's not like Uncharted 1's puzzles were insanely difficult or anything, but U2's puzzles were laughably easy.

PrimordialSoupBase4673d ago

So simple they don't have the right to be called puzzles. The first Uncharted anyway.

ShoryukenII4673d ago

The hardest puzzle for me was in the monastery library with Sully in the first game. The second game had very easy puzzles though.

Brownghost4673d ago

let me guess both going to gamestop
You:"id like to pre order UC3"
brother:MW3 hardened ed!"

Your brother sounds like he has no skill let him try Battlefield series for once

mafiahajeri4673d ago

He will probably break tomb raider if you gave him a go at it. As a matter of fact you would too!!

Raphael Colantonio, speak for yourself. I loved COD4, and I am NOT stupid. So shut up.

Brownghost4673d ago

hes talking about what the franchise is right now and what it does

saladthieves4673d ago (Edited 4673d ago )

This would explain why the 10 year olds out there act like shit.

The sad part is COD fanboys will read the title and say: "What? Is he calling me stupid?"

No he's not. He's simply saying something like: "That dress makes you look fat." It doesn't mean that you're fat.

*According to him, making games like Call of Duty gamers just stupid and they are not ready to play games like Dishonored to study after their call of duty. Call of Duty gamers therefore not prepared for playing a game like Dishonored .

Gazondaily4673d ago

There is actual undisputable proof that this is true, just on this very website:

Inside_out is a huge COD fanboy.

End of discussion.

StayStatic4673d ago

Indeed living proof right their , COD makes you retarded and a noob.

saladthieves4673d ago

Yes, inside out is solid proof.

Let's also not forget the other (female) troll who goes by the name Warprincess116..Huge call of duty fangirl, currently temporarily banned.

ForTheFallen4673d ago

Oh he be trollin.

But I agree, CoD taught us all to run out in the open and forgo cover for perks and auto aim assists. Battlefield 3 will set us right.

Please, can Call of Duty leave awful Netflix-style menus behind

Call of Duty games used to be streamlined experiences, but COD 2024’s UI could be another nightmarish clutter of streaming tabs.

Let's just leave Call Of Duty behind.

anast13d ago

The isn't for you anymore.

BlackCountryBob13d ago

If we’re beating that drum, can we also stop forcing anyone who wants to play only the single player to download Warzone and all updates BEFORE they are then able to do another download from the menu of the single player campaign. I don’t see why I need 150gb of downloads in several ways to play the single player mode only from a bloomin disk which should have that campaign on it already.

DefenderOfDoom213d ago (Edited 13d ago )

The UI is confusing to me because I have not purchased a Call of Duty iin like 8 years .Only bought CoD MW3 because 3 of my friends I have known since to 70s are playing zombies . But I am used it now .

smolinsk13d ago

The UI is the least of the franchise many problems these days. But yes the UI is also terrible.

Players claim Fortnite ruined Call of Duty by letting in more corporate greed

Do you remember what gaming was like before Fortnite entered the gaming space? One of the biggest arguments was about loot boxes. Now we have conversations about crossovers, battle passes, and community outreach.

GoodGuy0925d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Idk. Loot boxes did disappear and battle passes and in game purchases are all cosmetic. We get free weapons and maps post launch, any gameplay affecting content. I could care less about all the cosmetics.
I absolutely hated the days where weapons were locked behind a less than 1% chance lootbox pull where it'd take 5+ hours to have enough tokens to do a single pull and lazy remastered/remake maps cost you $15 each wave or $50 for the season pass that you didn't know what you'd get and these maps were only available to those that bought it so you get a smaller pool of players match with.

Tacoboto24d ago

The "good ole days" are actually what drove me away from COD and Halo 3/Reach. Halo 4 becoming a COD-like drove me away from that only a week or so after it launched and I beat its campaign.

It sucked way back then, going a month or two without playing online-shooter-of-the-moment, and then needing to buy a $15 map pack to play with the majority of the population or your favorite playlist. The "community" rejecting Spartan Points in MCC killed that game's support, too. No revenue = no support, plain and simple.

Cacabunga24d ago

That headline could easily be something Spencer could have said 😅 I had to check if it was really an opinion piece

KyRo24d ago

As times gone on, the COD battle pass has got ALOT worse so they can push people to buy the more premium battle pass which itself is a huge rip off and nearly half the price of the base game.

The cosmetics can be fine but they've taken it to far to the point of no return. Why make a military themed game then have rabbits, dinosaurs, cats, rats & z list rappers as skins? You wouldn't add a Lamborghini to a fantasy RPG to replace a horse and you would never see Mario have limb dismemberment because they know what they are. COD is having identity crisis but kids and streamer but then all

franwex24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Call of duty can simply not copy the bad aspects of Fortnite? Or is that too out of this world? Like COD, a realistic shooter-just HAD to have Nicki Minaj running around? Or super heroes?

Inverno24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Exactly! Trends don't all need to be followed. Plus where Fortnite got somewhat better with it's monetization, Acti got worse. Or at least Fortnite has lended itself more to the wacky stuff, and has put more effort and quality into that stuff.

jjb198124d ago

I prefer the battle passes with free maps than the $50 season pass that divided the community. I definitely feel that Fortnite had some influence on CoD having loot boxes with Blackout being introduced in 2018 with Black Ops 4.

PRIMORDUS24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Actually Fortnite bullshit ruined Unreal Tournament. Epic are sellouts and I will never have that shitty store on my PC, fuck them and that shit bag Tim Sweeney. At least the community keeps the games alive, I still play UT2004.

StoneTitan23d ago

I mean cant really blame them for supporting the game that made them the most money and the most people player...ever?

Psychonaut8524d ago

Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance.

Ra303023d ago

100% correct! The makers of Call of Duty ran out of ideas long, long ago so they take ideas from other games like Ghost Recon, Fortnite and any other FPS game hat had success hell CoD remasters maps that they've remastered several times already then charge you again for it. Call of Duty is simply a cut, copy and paste and then put the $70 price on it every year. Activision and now Microsoft has been essentially remastering Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare every year since it was released in 2007 its to the point it's worse than the sports game like the Madden, NBA and others yearly sports franchises.
@Psychonaut85 is spot on "Call of Duty ruined Call of Duty. They needed no outside assistance"!
