*Yawn*

"We have taken note of the fact that the Conservatorium Hotel is undesirably the scene of the new Call of Duty," the hotel's manager Roy Tomassen said. "More generally, we don't support games that seem to encourage the use of violence. The game in no way reflects our core values and we regret our apparent and unwanted involvement."

My god, this is just DRIPPING with self entitlement and self importance. Oh Shit! Roy Tomassen has taken note of you Activision! You can pearl clasp and regret your unwanted involvement all the way to the bank, because you just got a huge publicity bump - But you don't seem to understand how marketing works I guess?

@fragnem: I do agree with you. Although, I know I'm in the minority, but I actually really liked 3 as well.

I think most of us have already played the shit out of these games... and despite what master pieces Naughty Dog makes, they are the top of games that really don't lend themselves to "replayability." They are very intense, extremely scripted experiences that rely on the experience of discovery, and less the enjoyment of game mechanics and gameplay. The shooting is a lot better in the last of us, but they hadn't quite nailed the gunplay in uncharted yet. (imo)

@id0ntkn0w7: For what it's worth, making overtly sexist misogynistic comments is really not that great of a look

@thejigga: I dunno- I think it's extremely jarring when a VA is changed out, especially if it's a VA that's been doing an established character for many years. I think most people who watch anime would agree that Mark Hamill is the definitive VA for Joker. The VA for Batman is absolutely iconic. I really don't think you guys are considering just how much impact the voice acting performance has. Not to mention, that with motion capture, for most modern games- they are acting out entire scenes. This is part of what makes Naughty Dog games so incredible. Troy Baker is *ICONIC* as Joel in The Last of Us. Nolan North is *iconic* as Nathan Drake. For me, I just can't imagine those characters being voiced by anyone else

@blaznwiipspman1: Well, the reason they didn't 'report' any of that, is because journalism deals with facts and as you said.... truths. That's a bunch of unsubstantiated "rumours/gossip" he said / she said drama. That's what is called an "Editorial" or "Opinion Piece" which is more about entertainment and sensationalism- it's not the same thing as a News Story

It's so disappointing how Swan Song turned out. I couldn't even play it.

@dennismarinos: This game annoys the shit out of me. I'm a pretty sophisticated gamer having played them for like 30 years.... but like you I've never understood why this game guy 8's and 9's... What am I not seeing that other people are? It's boring as fuq.

@Barighm: This actually is pretty true. All of my Xbox controllers (why do i have so fucking many???) seem to be steadily breaking down. The most painful was when my "elite" controller ($150) shit the bucket. I'm a PS5/PC - but I really loved the Xbox Elite controller. The PS5 controllers are sturdy as ****, I've got all my controllers going back to the PS1 and they stil be kickin.

@cejay0813: You'd be very surprised I think. There are actually quite a few people (like me) who have very little interest in the multiplayer... but I've still bought every single COD that's come out to play their campaigns.

I've always really enjoyed the campaigns, they seem to always push the boundaries of the technology and this game seems no different... my friend and i were playhing the game on ps5 and the graphics are quite awe inspiring.
