NextGN: A Note To All Editors Regarding Black Ops

NextGN writes: "I think gamers have been tolerant enough with the Call of Duty series, specifically the PlayStation 3 owners. Through the past three years PlayStation 3 owners have had to deal with a far more inferior product as apposed to the Xbox 360 version. They have dealt with sub high-definition graphics, noticeable frame-rate drops, buggier online and multi-player modes, and they have received little to no support from Activision or Treyarch. Despite the many shortcomings of the PlayStation 3 version this has never effected the outcome of the games overall rating."

This guy deserves a standing ovation! This article nails the point. Perfectly said and I couldn't agree more. Activision deserve a lawsuite or something like that.

Call me stupid but I bought both the PC and PS3 version of the game. I am doubley pissed. What am I to do though? I can't get a refund for it. I support this article 100%. People should spread the word.

I have given up on Black Ops online. One in every ten games I am not disconnected. He is right about it should just be a Xbox exclusive.

SodoBot5646d ago

They shouldn't have made this game at all. In my honest opinion, the series died before MW2.

BrownRanger5646d ago

This really sucks because Black Ops could have been great. If they worked on both console versions equally it might have had a chance for Game of the Year. But, like this article says all editors should not even consider it as a candidate!

@BrownRanger,

We included it in the top 8 worthy titles - but we will be making some changes to that later today.

It's a shame we still don't have identical PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions....

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex172d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos172d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio172d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger172d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"
