And thank God for that, nothing could be more played out at this point than friggin’ Call of Duty.

Also, I got a bad feeling devs are about to get very slack when it comes to the PC versions of next gen games, it’s enough to make me consider “jumping ship” and just playing next gen games on my PS4.

While it might have arrived at them by accident, Modern Warfare made several potent observations about the modern battlefield that were flipped on their head and turned into an adolescent power fantasy in its sequels. They became the gaming equivalent of the cinematic blockbusters they tried so hard to ape, in that you had a moderate amount of fun while playing them and then *instantly* forgot about them the moment you turned them off. And for the last seven years it’s showed little ambition past this; the series has been content to wallow in its own mediocrity for so long that even the sluggish effort that Advanced Warfare makes to change itself is welcome.

Also yes Kevin Spacey being evil is unironically supposed to be a plot twist.

Not that I’ve played any CoD since CoD4 (and I hadn’t completed any since CoD2) but everyone rights about it like it’s inevitably popular garbage like Transformers movies or something.

Do I understand correctly Kevin Spacey being evil is an unironic plot twist? Is this the era of stagnant boring shooters and blooming strategy games market? Do you think there is something wrong with you cause you didn’t like Endless Legend and liked Advanced Warfare?
