The dude is a true icon of integrity. On that note, just a friendly reminder of his "best game ever" review of Cyberpunk2077 for windowscentral, published right before the release of 1.0 in Dec 2020.

Cyberpunk 2077 PC review: Joining industry legend as a contender for best game ever made

Cyberpunk 2077 is an experience without equal.

PC review. Game was amazing on PC at launch.

 

[SenkiDala]

I love Chris Judge since very long. And the joke made me smile, I liked it. But at the same time those devs are being laughed at since weeks because of this, and they are probably not responsable of that result, so it might be frustrating to them.

At the end I still think he was right to joke about it and the world, fortunately, is not a Disney film, everything is not smooth, and it's fun to laugh at each other, without being offensive or insulting.

[ManaByte]

Played it on a 3080 at launch. Yes. The PC version (and lesser extent the XSX version) was really good.

It didn't run on consoles from 2013 using Jaguar CPUs, so that took over the narrative.

pretty sure those the best of bug reels were from the pc version but ok

They can take millions of dollars from gamers for an inferior product though pretty easily

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

it’s people like these CoD devs that are going to welcome a social credit score system with open arms. Pathetic.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

The CoD director should have walked up on stage and Will Smith'd him.

"Keep my game's name out of your fucking mouth!"

One does not simply walk up and bitch slap Kratos.

 

[willothedog]

C'mon you can tell Chris Judge is good for a laugh, just look at the comical wig he was donning

 

[kurisu_1974]

short user engagement once your game is consumed

When that is the jargon you use I know your games are not for me.

 

[Facism]

"Attacking"

It's a fucking joke. Said in jest. Not serious.

Like that beard

 

[dorkimoe]

. Call of duty is a brand at this point, none of the games stand out nor will stand the test of time, the brand will. Nobody is going back to play the campaign on any of those cod games. So whoever made the comment that god of war games are forgotten about is foolish.

[Unknown?]

Funny they make a game that you do the same thing over and over and then every year they come out and release the same game again.

 

[Trunim]

The thread concering the same thing over at resetera descended into some people blowing the whole thing up, like way, way up. Then it got rightfully locked. I didn't even know people could react like this. A bunch of Will Smiths. What the f*ck? Mr Judge got my support, anyway, for what it's worth.

 

[sono]

Cod sp campaigns are awful he is right to call it

 

[skit_data]

Jesus, it takes ridiculously thin skin to have that joke get to you. To then go on talking about playtime metrics etc just comes of as being even more unsecure about the product you've been part in the making of.

 

[Aion002]

Cod sp campaigns are awful he is right to call it

C'mon, the older ones are good.

Black Ops, MW and Infinite Warfare have amazing campaings.

Infinite Warfare is my favorite.

Anyway, bunch of snowflakes can't take a joke.

 

[Boneless]

Ouch, this is painful for COD. Not the joke, but the reactions to the joke.

Call of Duty Devs Are a Little Peeved at Christopher Judge's Dig During The Game Awards - IGN

Call of Duty developers past and present have taken to social media to express their frustration with a comment made by God of War voice actor Christopher Judge at The Game Awards.

www.ign.com

These call of duty "devs" miss the point. We want good games, like a God of War or Super Mario Wonder -- and we don't care about "user engagement".

But by all means, keep releasing pink and purple weapon packs, lava skins, and combat bunny ears so the 13 year olds can continue screaming at each other on war zone and drain their parents credit cards with your bullshit micro transaction schemes. Gotta keep that user engagement up!

 

[The Last One]

I wonder how he would react to this if MS didn’t managed to buy Activision.

 

[R6Rider]

Even bugs aside, you'd have to be ignoring core problems with the game like the shitty loot system, craftiing, AI, police, choices, etc.

 

[LordCBH]

I wonder how he would react to this if MS didn’t managed to buy Activision.

He likely would have said the joke was funny and that MW3 was bad if MS hadn’t purchased Activision and sent their shills new scripts to follow.

 

[Thabass]

Yet I played and enjoyed GoW Ragnorok's campaign and never even looked at MW2's MW3 expansion.

I was there.

It really wasn't.

GHG pointed out Jez's snarky comment on twitter a couple of years ago. Back then it was ok to make jokes at the expense of COD devs.

For connection problems we can blame the IT and that's ok!

Guess he will delete it. MS wouldn’t like this Tweet.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

But they sure can ship a joke

Spoiler

jk I’ve never played cod I’m sure it’s fine

No, you're absolutely on the button there. MWIII is about as meh as games get.

 

[Camreezie]

They can simp for the devs honor but who cares for the peoples dollars spend for less content?

 

[xiskza]

Bunch of idiots tbh

 

[cripterion]

Wow these devs... no wonder modern CoD is trash. Totally in contrast to Insomniac's response.

 

[thismeinteil]

Oh great, now that COD is moving into the Xbox studios of mediocrity, yet another game that Xbox diehards used to be able to mock is now untouchable and can't be joked about, no matter how deserving.

 

[Crayon]

I am going to start saying "okay, zoomer" more often.

 

[Frwrd]

Campaign is dog shit, couldn't even last 3 missions.

Campaign, MP, WZ and MWZ… all of it, game is a crashfest and a disgrace, I almost wish the game hadn’t been gifted to me.

IMO Call of Duty has been shit since 2019

 

[touchfuzzy]

I liked it, gave some personality to one part of it and it’s just good fun. Judge is an actor and at stuff like the Oscar’s and Golden Globes the hosts and presenters always poke fun at and dump on other actors and movies, it’s funny and part of the show. Dev community very thin skinned.

 

[Tarnished]

God of War is an expertly made game with love and care, CoD is the same game every year with the bare minimum done to it. I'm glad someone called them out on that shitty campaign, I finished it in one sitting.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

I get the feeling that the COD devs are already drinking the Microsoft Kool-Aid with their "user engagement" comebacks. Like a cult of insecurity.

They should've clarified what they meant by "user engagement" because I think they're talking about all the non-campaign content that adds value.

MWIII's campaign was shameful. The multiplayer a rehash of MWII 2009. Yet I already got more than $70 worth of fun and enjoyment out of the new zombies mode with friends.

 

[Rhazkul]

2 steps on how to deal with jokes that hurt your feelings:

1 - shrug

2 - move on with life

Even better: don't let a joke ever hurt your ego or feelings and get a sense of humor.

The last GOW didn't do it for me, found myself wanting to play other games (maybe I am just over that style of game)

But I will for sure replay several of the older COD campaigns when they hit gamepass

This years campaign was criminally short and uninspired

I finished it very early as well and said it was a 4/10 here and some didn't take so well to it

I litcherally replayed Infinite Warfare's campaign a month ago. It's fantastic. Like a more grounded and emotionally-resonating Halo.

The writing (dialogue and story) is as good as any blockbuster movie. Can't recommend it to sci-fi fans enough.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Win an award, act smug, then insult biggest game in world in moment of delusion.

COD devs are being way too professional.

GTA would like a word.

As for being professional, didn't one of them just attack God of War?

 

[StereoVsn]

True. Cod campaigns are never really lengthy experiences.

Infinite was quite good and took me around 12-15 hours (don’t remember the exact details).

GTA is actually hovering around 410m sales versus CoD’s 425m.

Both are below pokemon (480m), tetris (495m) and mario (832m)

I'm aware of what both franchise's totals are (which actually proves that GTA is bigger given there are far less games out in that franchise). GTA VI will seal the deal.

The point was that CoD is hardly the biggest series.

 

[wipeout364]

As a big COD fan I thought the joke was funny and not mean spirited in its delivery. I haven’t played the campaign but the multiplayer is really good this year with solid maps and gameplay.

Anybody calling this a DLC has not played it. DLC for COD is 3- 4 maps and a small zombies expansion, not the amount of content that was dropped at launch; 14 maps, a small campaign, 37 new weapons and an all new Zombies game.
