Corpos chase successful trends when they want to make it big, and then they chase agendas when they're big enough to afford a few loses. Then back to chasing trends that actually work when the loses start to hurt.

If you played any CoD beyond 4, you have no right to complain about anything.
If your first CoD was 4 or later, you have no right to complain about anything.

>>714531186
zoomers weren't born in '94, they're still early - mid 20s

>>714529582
they didn't grow up in an era of free demos included on the disk, free dlc, free expansion packs, being able to upload any skin you wanted in multiplayer without having to pay, free map packs, no lootcrates, shareware, no fucking amiibos, no day one dlc, no premium digital editions. They don't know what they are missing and don't see all that shit as ass cancer because they grew up with all of it and lots of them are addicted to the slot machine rush of rolling the dice for skins. They don't see any of these anti-consumer practices as shit because they weren't there for the glory days and many of them see being able to afford and flaunt the 59.99 Halloween skin as a status symbol and not as a badge of retardation. I won't buy anything that espouses these aids practices unless its on sale for less than 5 dollars and even then I feel dirty about it. It pisses me off that these practices exist and it pisses me off that people don't know any better and just let themselves get screwed pushing the video game industry further and further into being no different than a casino.

The gachafication of gaming was a slow but steady process. Early on there was an outcry against the paid map packs in Halo 2. Having to pay for more maps when games had potentially infinite free maps on PC. Having to pay for xbox live when you were already paying for internet. Hats being added to TF2 along with slot machines. Every Call of Duty iteration being barely different from the last. Having to pay to get a horse armor. Enough people just kept paying to be fucked so that's where the industry went and now every new game has 3 different levels of stupid where you have to pay 50 dollars extra on top of the base game price for the complete experience as well as a 15 dollar subscription service to earn retardbucks at a slightly faster rate to buy virtual hats to have your avatar look cool in a video game.

>>714532035

All I remember of the 00s was this constant feeling of enshittification. Obviously we're in an utterly awful place right now, but I don't want to go back to that rank-ass shit time either. Pre-9/11 was where it was at. The 90s had better culture than the living death that was the Bush years. I'd rather get a PS1, Saturn, and N64 than PS3, Xbox 360, or Wii. Hell, I'd prefer the 90s consoles and aesthetic to the PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, and GameCube.

It was a turd of a decade and just because you were a kid during it doesn't make it not shit. Fucking MADDEN won GotY. Things were not getting better, right now is just the logical result of the cultural decay that permeated that decade. 2001 onward had the whole US turn into a paranoid nanny state. Remember "No child left behind"? 2008 was a massive global recession, everything got worse everywhere. Technology may have gotten better, but quality of life got worse, just like now. You couldn't even do a show like The X-Files anymore, something that was the quintessential 90s, because the idea that the establishment was conspiring against them was no longer cool to think about. Everything that was fun died. Even 00s pop music fell off compared to the 90s.

I don't really care as long as there's still playlists like nuketown 24/7 or shoot house/shipment 24/7. love those. What I don't understand is why people put so much money into skins and bundles for a game that is on a yearly timer?

Newfag zoomers don't realize that 4chan was original left-leaning and made fun of Bush and his war in Iraq/Afganistan.

Stormfags were shat on everywhere, /new/ was just Stormfags trying to spout their nonsense and then getting doxxxed by OG 4channers.

It was only after Obongo won that 4chan became right-leaning.

I always thought it was a meme, but I remember all the Penn Jillette "into the trash" images. 4chan always felt South Park-inspired, where those who had extremist opinions were openly mocked. I remember a /b/ screencap that's not posted anymore since the irony has been completely lost, where some dude was ranting about another guy and the first response/zinger was "Why'd you mention he was black". It was funny because it mocked OP's obvious biases. But 4chan since 2013 has been astroturfed by stormfags since moot destroyed their containment board for nearly a year and they (and /r9k/) flooded the other boards like a septic leak. Doesn't matter if a new tank is made, there's still shit in my drinking water.

>>714535246
there were all kinds of different political opinions honestly, but people generally kept it out of hobbyist boards and the shitflinging over politics was contained to cesspools like /b/ and /new/.

>>714535385
Then that couldn't have been the reason to change it

Because they desperately want to pursue "the modern audience" aka opening up the playerbase to more children, women, and even old people that wouldn't normally play games. That's why they have friendly cartoonish vibes with tons of crossover from recognizeable IP. It's about getting as many people as possible to play the game. In the past games were made with one audience in mind: men, particularly young men. It had themes and designs that appealed to young men. They weren't really trying to target other demographics. Now they are and the trends in general have just shifted towards more "zesty" type stuff, whereas the hypermasculinity of the early 2000s has been toned down quite a bit. A lot of that had to do with 9/11, wars in the middle east and the macho propaganda being pushed at the time as well, with even the US Army making their own gritty shooter at one point.

>>714530472
try playing something other than Black Ops. the early CoD games (1, 2) were specifically loved for being not like MoH. MoH has you playing as an individual special forces super soldier, whereas early CoD was about you playing as just another cog in the machine. it was one of the first FPSes to be like that

>>714529582
>zoomer zoomer zoomer
the real answer is warzone is free and favela monkeys pad the numbers while paypigs buy all the cosmetics and new releases due to FOMO. CoD probably has the largest age range in any multiplayer title

>pic related is an activision patent for giving players who bought cosmetic items easier enemies so they can win more after every purchase

Most of the ire COD generated on /v/ had less to do with the games themselves but the culture and zeitgeist around them. When people complained about COD it was usually about
>How COD caused a bunch of games to copy it's mechanics and style
>How dudebros were obnoxious and annoying
>How it helped popularize DLC with map packs
Among other things. The same thing is happening with Fortnite. 90% of the time when people hate Fortnite it's because they find all the zoomers who play it annoying and hate how it caused a bunch of studios to chase the battle royale and live service trend.

>Conventional systems further fail to leverage matchmaking processes in other contexts, such as influencing game-related purchases, suggesting group formations, training/identifying non-player characters, and/or otherwise extending the use of the matchmaking process.

because its deception. you are not being sold a video game. when your bullets do less damage when shooting a target that has a skin you were looking at in the store, is it even call of duty any more? its literally a skin selling bazaar. i havent bought a cod since blops2, and i only really liked mw2. for niggers that keep buying it every year...there is no salvation

>>714538879
good goyim

>>714539038
it's not deceptive. nowhere does the game tell you matchmaking is fair, in fact they're quite open about it being unfair. Don't use words you don't understand just because you think they make you sound smart.

In the old days before matchmaking, you could just simply join into a server and play with people that were at your skill level and just have fun.

In the old versions of matchmaking that had the developers actually care about making the game balanced instead of selling microtransactions, you'd be matched with people of your skill level and have fun.

>>714529582
The playerbase doesn't really care about the whole consistent artstyle thing. Multiplayer is the main reason CoD sells, so adding a bunch of skins from different series lets the game make even more money. If you're wondering why it's gotten so rampant in the newer games, it's because the fans genuinely don't care and are happy to buy them. You can't go a match without seeing a paid skin.

You already have a game that's guaranteed to sell off of name alone, so they added skins in to make even more money since it obviously works. Is it gay as shit and obviously lowers the visual quality of the game? Sure. Does a Call of Duty player care about consistent visual clarity when they can play as Michelangelo from the ninja turtles and shoot bright green flashing bullets at their enemy? Fuck no.

>>714539731
none of that has anything to do with what I said about whether it's a deceptive practise or not. Nowhere does the game sell you a false bill of goods, you just chose to ignore what the game very explicitly tells you and are now mad about it and want Mama Government to make the mean ol bully go away.

It's a good thing I don't play modern CoD, innit. I don't give inferior devs my money

>>714529582
the real answer is that nobody actually cares, anything else is a cope

But also I believe in handling my own affairs rather than crying to an authority figure like a small child every time something doesn't go my way. I see a game I don't like, I don't play it. Just like I wouldn't walk into a casino expecting to make money, or go to a knitting circle, or patronise an Indian restaurant, or any of the other myriad of things I don't like and have no desire to participate in.
You would have a point if they were lying, but they aren't. you're effectively arguing for state-enforced equality. no different than leftists demanding whites have their property seized because they "inherited wealth" that should go to minorities instead. Try to resolve that cognitive dissonance.
