Behold the worst videogame screenshot of all time (courtesy of Black Ops 6)

I've saw Russian UE5 asset flips made with more art consistency simply because they use singular asset packs, sheesh.

80 billion dollars on screen.
 
Fortnite was a fucking mistake.
Zero hyperbole intended when I say that Fortnite's success was the worst thing to happen to gaming since ET Atari. It has single handedly made it a reality that the medium of online gaming as a whole just trends faster and faster towards lowest denominator, and exists now solely to get kids to waste their life and parent's money on retard skins.
 
I'm biased because I loved Beavis and Butthead since I was a kid, so I think that's random and pretty amusing. Could they have taken a better image? Oh yeah, of course. But for people that are interested in it, I don't think they care about these images at all. This is just a current social/marketing image for this content that will be forgotten and replaced when new content comes along. This is from the same company that was using AI on multiple occasions and not hiding it.

I understand people miss "old serious COD", and I'm sorry, but that's long gone. I certainly miss the days where Battlefield and COD were two different IPs that were very different from one another in terms of how they played. But as time has gone on the lines between the two (in terms of mechanics) blurred more and more.

I will say though, there's something I appreciate about them being ridiculous and just having fun with it all. It's a video game after all. Ontop of that, I get that there are people that don't like it, but money talks and they keep making more ridiculous content for a reason.

The reason Fortnite works so well is because there's a strong art direction. No matter what IP they feature, DC, Marvel, Family Guy, Anime, Star Wars, or freaking Sabrina Carpenter, everything looks like it belongs in Fortnite.

You can see a team made up of Gojo, Chun Li, a Christmas tree, and Lebron James come towards you and at no point will it look out of place.

CoD doesn't have that. The TMNT event they had looked off. And I'm a huge TMNT fan.

TMNT in Fortnite though? Looked just fine.
 
Disgusting honestly.

When is another publisher going to stop dicking around and make a serious mega budget AAA military shooter? Fucking retarded people in charge.
 
I remember feeling a similar way when Destiny 2 did a Witcher crossover. All pretense of a vision and a concept vanish. COD is ten steps past that, but in the same way, it is no longer a distinct entity with it's own internal logic, simply a business function.of its parent company.
 
I'm just so sick of this trend of including a billion different IPs and being like "REMEMBER BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD??? HERES BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD! WATCH THEM SHOOT GHOST BUSTERS BECAUSE REMEMBER GHOST BUSTERS???"

Red Letter Media did a great criticism of this stupid trend around when Ready Player One came out

 

No but I voted for it. Yes we can.
You can play it via ScummVM. It's pretty much abandonware at this point and available on IA. There is also an English audio conversion from the pc version to the Japanese PS1 port of the game that works via all the normal emulators and actual PS1 hardware as well.
 
not going to lie. Im part of the problem. Bevis and Butthead in COD is reason for me to play that game again lol.

Shut up dude, are you like stupid or something.,

ehhh heaaa Yeah!
 
this has been "the line" for COD since 2014, yet every year people who don't play COD go surprised pikachu that they've been doing these skins since before fortnite even existed.

Tim Sweeney went all in on the multiverse stuff because of that movie and it paid off. They made billions. Now everyone else without a drop of self-respect tries to replicate the success.
 
I opened the thread thinking "ok yea right, probably gonna be some low image quality, but not the worst screenshot" but I was quickly and succinctly corrected.
 
I hate Activision so much... them and the streamers that push these skins and the idiots that buyed and destroyed this game. I still remember when MW19 launched and they promise "realistic tactical" skins, and then inject crap in like 2 months. The worse thing was that many people were celebrating this.

Fortnite worse impact was not the "live service" trend that sparked, but this crap of games not being able to maintain any kind of style because silly skins have to be there. Even Halo 3 wasnt spared of this fate in the MCC (thankfully, it can be turned off).

Anyways, I will just go and play the OG MW3 on my Xbox.

Please Battlefield save us. COD is just another Fortnite at this point. F that shit.
Please... the game looks so amazing! Im just afraid that EA will pull a MW19 crap and the zoomers and streamers will demand this crap. I really want to be wrong, because they game leaks looks SO GOOD

I'm sure Ready Player One had some influence, but Disney was the first to pay Sweeney for a collaboration event (Infinity War). Once he saw the size of that check from the mouse, there was no looking back.

In other words: Disney ruins everything, as always
 
Glad I didn't pay for the game (gamepass) and I don't play the zombie mode. But I'm guessing those Beavis and Butthead skins will make their way into standard blops 6 multiplayer. Wish there was a "realism" option in the game. Something to turned off all the bullshit skins other than what came with the base game.
