So I see this game. Let me sum up what I actually see:
- Reviews are mixed: not a great start
- Requires 3rd-party account: fuck that
- 60 euros base game: expensive, especially when the game has mixed reviews
- 175 euros DLC’s: are you fucking kidding me? On top of 60 euros for the base game, there’s another 175 fees for content?
- purchasable CoD points: so pay to win?
And they don’t understand why people pirate, run away from AAA games and go for indie games instead.
This is just a random example. I’ve quit playing COD after Modern Warfare.
To end this positively: I recently started playing Necesse which is really nice, and I started playing an old time favorite again after a long time: World of Goo. Both worth my money :)

- This game was not a good COD.
- This game was released in 2021, so it’s like if you buy now FIFA 2021 or NBA 2021, nobody is playing it.
- The 175€ DLC is just cosmetics. Cammos for the weapons, skins operators and so on. Not needed.
- COD Points are just to buy cosmetics like the included in the 175€ DLC, so it’s not pay to win. Just pay to look “cool”.
PS: Don’t buy this shit.
You wouldn’t. You’d buy Titanfall 2 for a whopping £2.49, and play a great (if short) single player campaign and then delete it.
If only for Effect and Cause, which is right up there with the best levels in any game.
Short answer: you wouldn’t buy this game, given your valid criticisms.
This type of extortionate pricing policy speaks to the general user base being nobs, die hard try hards and probably a toxic gaming environment. Having a barrier to entry in any activity prevents total idiots from entering. Consoles have made it easier for people who don’t understand how to operate a PC to play games but that necessarily means those games will be replete with obnoxious people. The advent of smartphones has done that for the internet.
Why would anybody support genocidal imperial propaganda in their home?
I made that mistake years ago with COD. Never again.
Take a look at the reviews, and find this insanity on the top:
need to be connected to online services even when you just want to play singleplayer campaign, and keep getting connection errors.
Thanks, I’m out.
Bad but
Also
Stupid
So in theory… you can not even play single-player campaign because of kernel level anti-cheat + internet connection. Even if Wine/Proton would allow you to start the game.
True. According to protondb, it is not possible to even start the game.
What a shame. But to be expected…
Until the support stops and you have an unplayable game in your library.
this means it will be lost to time once they turn the server off
Why is it a Penguin stood amidst boulders?
I feel like they could have called CoD Points something other than CP. 🤣
There are lots of valid abbreviations that CP uses other than child porn.
And it will never not be funny
I can see somebody inquiring about the amount someone has, and if they would be willing to share any. Boom. On a list.
I got Necesse too! It was about 6 bucks. Can’t beat that price. Runs on a potato also.
I should play that again, probably start a new world/char because so much has changed since I got it almost 4 years ago.
Reviews are mixed: not a great start
More than not a great start: Only people who have bought the game are allowed to review it, so reviewers are already biased towards liking the game, because only somebody who thinks they would enjoy the game would spend money on it. It’s basically impossible to get a strong negative score by just being run of the mill awful. So “mixed” means that about 50% of people who though they would enjoy the game, didn’t, which is quite damning.
When I said this on Reddit I got downvoted to hell and called a hater lol
If you still play CoD nowadays then you are actively supporting the problem.
From time to time I’ll still look at their steam page during sales, because I’d like to play a blockbuster single player FPS where I can mindlessly mow down bad guys, with good story and production value.
But the price point and reviews always turn me off… Do you have a good alternative to recommend?
If you want a CoD game, pretty much any CoD up through Black Ops 2 is still decent, but only if Activision actually let’s the game go “on sale”. Halo games have a fantastic story (up until 5 at least) and the Master Chief Collection is usually on sale for $10.
Why would I buy this?
I can only think of one reason, because it’s the game your friends are playing.
You have two choices; buy the shitty game with the understanding that the game itself is not what matters but the time spent playing with your friends. Or, don’t buy the game and spend the next few weeks, or months, not playing with your friends and hope they grow bored of the game soon.
I took a break from necesse after no lifing it for weeks after I discovered it. Now that it’s just hit 1.0 I managed to gift a copy to a friend, and watching him outgrow my hard earned knowledge in a day with some guidance in mechanics was probably the most satisfaction I’ve felt this year.
Indies are carrying the industry and have been for a long time. Hmu for some necesse.
Ooo I stumbled across this yesterday, peaked my interest and I bought it. Looks interesting, can’t wait to play it!
I’m at 60hrs and counting. Started new char and world for 1.0 as well as play with my bud and so far we’ve basically caught up to where my pre1.0 save was at.
That’s really nice! I’m finding it hard to start a proper game, I need some motivation. Hopefully a friend of mine has time to play together :)
DM me if you fail to find friends to play with, they also have a discord server and I see folks playing in there basically daily.
There is plenty of shit on steam that I wouldn’t buy, just don’t buy it
Bro. How could you do that and not post to tell other people the things they like are wrong?
It’s not for you, you are not the target audience. The target audience is the people who buy MADDEN/FIFA every year.
Thats the neat part, just dont.
