The game seems to sell extremely well, despite the harsh reviews. Either the critics are wrong or the fans just don't care.

xPhearR3dx4410d ago

Critics are wrong. It's a fun, good game. 7-7.5 should have been an average for this game. It's not great, but it's some good fun. All those 3's and 4's are reviewers holding on to the name rather than reviewing the product itself.

OhMyGandhi4410d ago (Edited 4410d ago )

you need to raise your standards for videogames man. Sure, the game may be stupid fun, but I expect more than " not great, some good fun" when I see the "Resident Evil" type face on a box cover.

xPhearR3dx4410d ago

Sounds like your expecting a real Resident Evil because you see the logo on the box. If you or anyone did their homework, they'd know it's a spin off. For a spin-off, it's some good fun.

This game could have had a fantastic story and awesome AI and people would still bash it simply because it's not like other RE titles.

smash-brother-104410d ago

I've played it a fair amount (around an hour or 2) and to me it's just tedious and boring, it deserves the harsh reviews imo. To be honest I think people just see the name Resident Evil on the box and buy it without thinking

Soldierone4410d ago

Its selling because of the name. That is the absolute only reason I bought it and already took it back and got other games.

Autolycus884410d ago

And soon it will be at #1 on the charts for trade ins.

NeXXXuS4410d ago (Edited 4410d ago )

I heard it wasn't that great. Some of the gameplay videos just look like your stereotypical 3rd person shooter. I doubt Shinji Mikami was involved with the game because it looks really generic and boring. It seems like the Survival Horror genre was just thrown in the trash.

ShinraE54410d ago

Name recognition sold this game. I can promise you the writing, gameplay, and graphic sure as hell didn't.

Any game with call of duty, final fantasy, resident evil, etc pre-cursors will sell regardless of quality.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

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.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher32d ago

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.

Sciurus_vulgaris32d ago

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”.

OtterX32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

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.

Palitera31d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii31d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts31d ago

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

OtterX31d ago

@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

Knightofelemia32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos31d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast31d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
