@extragood Before it starts, those of us complaining about these skins aren't wanting CoD to PLAY realistically, its not about it playing like a mil-sim. We want CoD gameplay without it looking infested by clown skins and ***** like minaj and snoop dogg. Military aesthetic, Arcade gameplay. It's not too much to ask for.

@McTwist Spot on.
They were on the right track with the recent MW2 but all the ADHD riddled zoomies couldn't handle having to think before spamming their jump paddles and SMG's, so now we're back to how MW3 and this play.
Really hope IW stick to their vision from MW 2 for their next game.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner

Pretty much this. Why would I spend £110 in one go on a game when i can sign up for a month for £15 and get the same version and have it finished in that time?
For Ubisoft themselves, Ubisoft+ was a mistake. At least in it's current form.

@UltimateOtaku91
100%. Series S was a huge mistake I hope they learn from next gen (if xbox are still in the console game). It's really held back this generation.

Perhaps we just need to accept that this just isn't a game people wanted, for various legitimate reasons and stop trying to save it.
It's dead Jim, let it go.

Sad to see him go, was hoping we'd see DMC 6 from him! Thought that was his plan for getting Capcom to agree to letting him do Dragons Dogma 2 as well?

I never thought a game could make a gunslinger look boring to me.
Concord managed it. Holy *****.

"with its unfortunately named Freakers"

Wait, what? Whats wrong with Freakers?

Will definitely be keeping an eye on these guys! It was pretty obvious they jumped from a sinking ship when they left Rocksteady before getting Suicide Squad out. Looking forward to what they show us one day!

Imagine letting a once beloved game development company be destroyed in both reputation and financially just because you as it's parent company wanted to chase that live service ***** instead of just letting them continue to make what was already making them good money.
We could have had an amazing follow up to Arkham Knight that everyone would have wanted, but no, they want to feed us this drivel instead.
No wonder Sefton Hill nope'd out a couple years ago.

@Beerheadgamer82 It baffles me that the OG RE 2 and 3 havent been put on the Classics catalogue yet.

@Shepherd_Tallon RE 6 needs to be completely rewritten. Have it be an ensemble-cast game sure, but keep it to the already established STARS members, Leon and Claire.

"Konami has been hard at work also bringing back its Metal Gear Solid series"

I'm not sure I'd call that recent collection a result of "hard work".

@sanderson72 But..why? What's the big deal about it being digital only?

@Olmaz Absolutely this. It makes such a difference I don't see why it can't be an option for 99% of games nowadays. I mean, I'm no programmer/developer, I have no idea how difficult it is to implement but every game that's included it has benefitted. Games like Jedi Survivor, Remnant and now this could really use it.

Scarlet Nexus 2 pleeeeeease

@Singels
Good for you, I guess? You're certainly the outlier with that opinion though, if the internet is to be believed.

I would bet once the reviews are out this will change. 15 was disappointing and some people aren't super sold on the action combat direction 16 is taking, so I feel a few more people than normal might feel a bit reserved about it.

If there was a "Skip the ***** Atreus parts" option, then I'd consider it.

Only way this works is if they don't do what film-makers normally do and change a load of the details.
Don't change the costumes.
Don't change the backstories.
Don't change appearances for no reason.
Embrace the absurdity, don't try to make it "realistic".
Then it MAY work.

Update your terrible writing and characters Deep Silver/Volition, then we'll talk.

That's great and all but aren't we forgetting the most important thing?
Will we get more than crappy poncho's to wear?

@Mad001 No reason you can't read/watch it now and come to love it!

"It’s almost upon us! If, like this author, you’ve been waiting a lifetime for a game like Hogwarts Legacy"
You brave, brave individual! I hope certain members of the twittersphere don't see this, for your sake!
Game looks fantastic though, can't wait for next week

Wonder if the release of RE 4 also has anything to do with it then. Be tough competition, wouldn't be surprised if they learned something from Titanfall 2's release smack bang between Battlefield and CoD.

@KaijuKaiser For me it was just that it was..just decent. It was hyped up to be the 2nd coming of Dead Space and it's no where near. It's not a bad game by any means, but its nothing special either. It's not scary in the slightest, the enemy designs are boring af and there's no real reason to replay it (at launch anyway, NG+ helps now). No unlockables etc which is where survival horror games thrive for most people, I think.

Wish they'd hurry and drop RE 2 and 3 already

Been playing since I moved to New Zealand yesterday, it's solid. Far from perfect but it's easily a 7.5/10 kinda game. It's got some rough edges, But, I am enjoying it, it's great being able to play as all 4 characters and the story so far is keeping it interesting, I want to see where it goes. Without comparing it to the Arkham series, I think the closest I can compare it to is the newer Assassins Creeds, so, take that as you will.

Are some of these "improvements" related to the writing and the characters? 'Cause, I mean, that's where they're needed the most.

Eurojank at it's finest. Gonna feel awful to play, I can just tell.

Cost of living going up, no more lockdown and tbh, lack of big releases since what, Elden Ring/Horizon? doesn't help either.

As long as it still runs satire on everyone.

More people hyped for Gotham knights than CoD?
That surprises me :/
