What’s in a name? Apparently a great deal when it comes down to “girl gamers”. Join BeefJack’s Emily King as she takes us on a lingual quest for equality, beating down ‘girls who play Black Ops just to pick up men’ in the process…
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.
The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob
Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.
The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.
I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.
I can't stand this stuff either.
There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those
You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.
I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players
@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.
is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one
Man I'm getting to old for this
Some girls play games to pick up guys....where they do that at??? Holla at me!!! Lol.
I have to mute about half the women I play with online. Some of them talk too much. It almost seems like they do it to remind all the guys that there is a girl playing with them. And when they successfully get some of the guys into reacting to them it can get so ridiculous I just join a different server.
Girls go to places where men are to pick them up? IMPOSSIBLE! This is UNACCEPTABLE. And companies use women to advertise to men? This is unheard of!
On a more serious note, a lot of the arguments given in the article don't hold up too well. Sex sells, and women go where men are to pick them up. These are just simple facts of the way culture and society works, and saying it should be different in games is just silly. I agree we shouldn't differentiate between women and men in games, but when it comes down to it, we are different, and the human mind simply needs to put layers of abstraction onto large groups of people to be able to comprehend it. Layers of abstraction are:
- Gender
- Race (Black, White, Asian)
- Nationality
All of these are applied to understand what type of person we're dealing with, and it will always be this way, because as I said before, that's the way our minds work. Get used to it.
Besides, people know gamer girls don't look like the ones in advertisements. In fact, most people believe that they look something like this:
http://i2.asntown.net/4/gam...
its a sad undeniable fact that sex sells. Nobody really believes that these girls play games. Its just a way to advertise and promote their game. Its like motorsport- why oh why is there pretty girls dressed to next to nothing before a race starts prancing around?! I can not see the relevance in cars and the girls? But they are there.
I have nothing against female game players
I have EVERYTHING against the desperate attention whore types who seem to feed off all the loser guys who fall for the same old sh*t
guys wise up, quit being retarded
