Yup because skins just started this year in COD, fucking gamepass

They don't, but I do not remember prices were that high.

 

[ManaByte]

They always were.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

They aren’t $90

That is what it would cost to buy all 4 bundles and the mid season event

ME: Yo Chat GPT! Can you generate an image of April O'Neil as a COD character?
Chat GPT: Due to copywrite reasons...
ME: STFU and give me an image.
Chat GPT:

Ok that slaps.

Remember, kids:

 

[mpgeist]

Why do they have double the weapons?

 

[RickMasters]

I bought a Messi skin once (he's the GOAT) and I still feel embarrassed

Maaan! I usually just buy whatever skin makes my character look like like a bad ass. The standard skins often look lame, to be fair.

 

[Oppoi]

Thank God the Activision deal went through!

 

[Ribi]

Shell yeah!

 

[LordCBH]

They really should just make the MP free to play if they’re going to increasingly fuck it with even more shitty skins and microtransactions.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

No Splinter, no buy

Splinter is the premium pass, which means he's actually the cheapest option at 10$€, the others are 2400cp bundles, or 20$€

It's wild, Blobs 6 is honestly the most fun I've had with a COD game in a real, real, real long time. Especially as an entire package.

Looking at majority of the reviews (especially recent ones) it's just run of the mill Steam reviews that you can't take seriously, which is a shame. I mean, I love the memes, but it really does suck to see people not use these systems as they intended. I mean, "game is ballsack" and "jacking my meat is more fun than this game" isn't really getting any points across, lmao.

And they won't transfer to the next yearly CoD game.

 

[NickFire]

And they won't transfer to the next yearly CoD game.

The ones from two years ago did for last years. But not sure if that will happen again.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

And they won't transfer to the next yearly CoD game.

There are actually rumours of carry forward happening again because of cod 2025 being another black ops title.

 

[Rockman33]

This argument has no weight. Marvel Rivals and Fortnight are free to play. Fortnight has no sequel release annually and I'm assuming Marvel Rivals will be the same.

Do you think this years call of duty didn’t have enough content? Full campaign, full zombie mode and full multiplayer?

Aren’t all the maps free and game modes?

Didn’t we use to pay for map pack expansions?

You’re just an angry person yelling at clouds.

 

[Rockman33]

Marvel Rivals is a free game, BLOPS6 is not

This is NEW content. Pretty sure they delivered on their full package with a single player campaign, zombies and multiplayer.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Imagine you could go back in time to the Modern Warfare 2 days on 360 and you told yourself one day you were going to be running around as a Ninja Turtle sniping Nicki Minaj while she dance emotes. This series is completely ruined.

I have never taken COD that seriously as even back then people were quick scoping massive sniper rifles and if anyone has ever shot a 50 cal they would realize how truly stupid quick scoping is

 

[Unknown Soldier]

MS trying to make back that $80 billion acquisition cost

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Oh how I love to see the clueless greedy puppet masters in charge bring this series it's demise.

 

[March Climber]

$90 for fucking skin? Even high quality expansion like Iceborne/Sunbreak, Shadow of Erdtree and Future Redeemed don’t cost that much. WTF!?

Most people who play games that take up the top revenue slots each year like CoD, GTA Online, Fortnite, Roblox, or Fifa/Madden/2k, only play that one game for the entire year (or longer if it’s not sports).

They do not care about any of the games you have listed. They don’t even care about online communities complaining about this. They are too busy playing their one game and spending their money there.

Sure they will.
I plan on executing many turtles tomorrow with my Shredder skin that I bought 2 1/2 years (3 CoDs) ago.

Warzone isn't "the yearly CoD game", and warzone 2025 will probably not carry forward MWII and III, only BO6 and BO2025

Ah yes, brain fart.
I've only been playing (grinding) Warzone the last few years.

 

[DavidGzz]

GTA 6 online will have the same shit. It's just the way it is now. The whales will make this a lucrative practice time and time again.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Still cheaper than getting all the Star Wars packs they just put out in Destiny 2.

 

[ValiantInstance]

Thank God the Activision deal went through!

Microsoft's laissez faire approach to managing their studios will mean that nothing will change.

It's incredibly odd when you think about it. There are no longer bloodthirsty shareholders demanding more microtransactions, Bobby the goblin is gone, yet these bundles are getting even more egregious.

The only conclusion to draw is that there is no talent left at these studios, and the only thing they know how to do it milk the wallets of basement dwellers.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

And people will buy it

This, I don't get the outrage. Companies are releasing these because they sell.

 

[Cyborg]

CoD is trash but as long as players play it and pay for it they will do their thing.

Not angry lol, it's just not a good comparison. I play blops 6 almost everyday its a lot of fun, just recently bought the Terminator bundle.

You a shill or something? Warzone is the only free to play part of it, right? Or is Zombies actually free to play now too? Paid map expansions were actually bad for the franchise as it broke up the player base. People stick with the games longer now, more engagement and potential customers for skins and blueprints.

You act as if they are doing us a favor, weird take. The customers ultimately decide if the product has any value.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

He means the update include free maps and weapons, instead of the paid map pack dlcs of before.

This is why any health measures of the video games as a whole are generally going to be misleading. Spending can be up overall, but when that spending increase is concentrated in a small number of games that exclusively gain that extra spending, that doesn't actually help the industry as a whole.

20 years ago a new gamer meant that there would be new money spread among at the minimum a few titles a year, which benefitted everyone. Now a new gamer means that a single game gets hundreds of dollars and the rest of the industry may as well not even exist.

My point is they fulfilled their duty by selling a complete package. This years COD was packed with content. We get free gameplay expansions because they charge ridiculous prices for skins that fund those expansions.

Would you rather go back to the time when map packs and dlc cost money and broke apart the player base. Or get the maps for free and have a option to buy a skin?

Clearly the customer has decided the product has value otherwise there wouldn’t be a game every year at full price and all these overpriced skins.
