I'm so fucking tired of this stupid trend. It doesn't even have anything to do with Nicki Minaj...I don't want any "celebrity operators" or whatever. Especially ones dressed in bright pink, though. It just clashes terribly. CoD is not (or was not, and certainly should not be) Fortnite. Fuck this noise. Man, I really enjoyed CoD way back in the day, too. How fucking embarrassing.
Also, pretty funny; from what I've seen with reviews, people are currently very upset with modern CoD anyway. Massively negative reviews, everyone complaining about everything. And then they do this instead of fixing their game. Wow.
On top of total agreement, I'll add that I'm just totally sick of the total push of these degenerate whores. Spend some time with a teen that you aren't the parents of. I game with my cousin and I swear the amount of times I have to tell him to chill because he will start singing some shit "cocks in my coochie" or "my pussy all wet" like what the hell. He's barely a teenager. I get it there was a ton of gross shit I'd never want to admit when I was a teen boy but it seems so much worse. Kick all of this shit out. I just want to shoot some other soldier-looking soldiers.
CoD sucks, I've tried Warzone. Awful. It's just not fun. If you can find a game in the damn menus through all the ads and crap. Last one I bought was Black Ops 4, and that was strike three for CoD games, and I had multiple CoD with the highest prestige level in the early 2010s.
Yeah, at least past degeneracies used to be the edgy/funny/offensive kind...now the mainstream is just offensive, but not funny or edgy, yet more sexual. I agree it's pretty gross.
That kid has been banned so many times. I don't really play Roblox with him, but I'm pretty sure he's gotten at least 3 accounts to perma ban level and always has one in a state of temporary ban. Mostly for nigger versus the sex stuff. I just keep begging him to not get his Steam account banned but usually more quiet there or on something old and less noticed. I'm making him sound awful, he's not a bad kid, just I swear the age that thinks he sounds cool like that.
Yeah, Battlebit looks pretty sweet, might have to pick it up at some point.
I'm also thinking of building a new computer after over a decade, though, and would feel a little silly playing an intentionally low-poly game on a super computer. Not that that would stop me from doing it!
I do have to find some visually impressive games to play too, though, if I do pull the trigger. I got Cyberpunk for free a while back, so that's on the list, and if I do end up getting the components I'm looking at I'll get Starfield for free too. It's an exciting prospect, it's been ages since I've had anything approaching a midrange machine, much less nearly top of the line.
Yeah, I'm not one hundred percent locked in on the super high-end machine, but I'm contemplating it. I would like one of the newest gen GPUs for once, but I'm still looking at other options too. One way I can justify such a thing is, I generally don't upgrade my computer much, so I'm looking at this as something I'll keep around for ten years or so again (currently running an i7-4790k and GTX 970 for reference.)
I realize high end is overkill, but it could be fun overkill nonetheless. I agree it would probably make more sense to go midrange and upgrade in five to seven years or so, but I might still go high end and keep it around longer. I'm looking at the RX 7900 XTX which is right near the top of all cards, while being significantly cheaper than Nvidia's offerings (not that that's saying much.) It's also got massive overkill VRAM, so should be somewhat future proof. Also, if support continues to improve, it could theoretically eventually outperform the few RTX cards that currently beat it. Not the 4090, but it could slide into second place.
And, no, I don't plan to water cool, that's generally pretty dang unnecessary, and I don't have the patience for it anyway. I also stream sometimes, and the current gen GPUs have some nice encoding options, especially once AV1 gets more widespread support, which seems to be the trend. So yeah, I know it's more than I need, but I might do it anyway, and hopefully be set for the next decade.
High end is gonna cost you 2.5k. Rtx 4090 is 1600usd or 7900xtx is 1000usd. CPU+mobo+ram+cpu cooler will cost another 1000usd. Then you have power supply, ssd, case....
Closer to $2k, and a solid midrange would be around $1.3k. Not a huge difference, especially if I could be happy with keeping the high end twice as long.
If I can view it in per year terms, I can totally trick myself into justifying it! I'm basically saving money!
Just be sure to get the screen with it. I know a guy who's thrown so much at a PC for his 1080p 60hz monitor. My RX6600 w/ i3 PC will do that. More most of the time right now.
Could pay half that for a 3090, game tech is probably never going to advance to a point where a 3090 can't handle any game you throw at it unless LK-99 turns out to be a real superconductor and CPUs pretty much don't factor into game performance at all anymore.
So we've gone from gun bunny operators to female celebrities. Lol. Believe it or not, COD was actually about soldiers and warfare 10 years ago, not some kind of weird e-football.
I do not think the CoD fanbase are big Nicki Minaj fans, so maybe Nicki Minaj is a big CoD fan? Or is this chasing that fabled "untapped market" for a 20 year old franchise?
remember when call of duty was a grueling first person shooter that was innovative in that it was one of the few where you were not some ultra powerful Space Marine, but rather some schmuck who would die almost instantly when riddled with bullets from an mg42? remember the game that displayed old quotes about war from different philosophers and great writers on death to re-emphasize the fact that war is hell?
The title Call of Duty should have been dropped starting with modern warfare 2.
MW2 was when it started going off the rails, but it was only like half off. There was still some good stuff in that game. No Russian has stood the test of time as an a authentic statement, unpleasant as it is. The Chinese dropping into suburban LA was Red Dawn nonsense, but it was a way of confronting the idea of war with near-peer adversaries, which has been all the rage in the defense/geopolitics sphere since Afghanistan ended.
The only reason that will be considered acceptable in leftist minds is that she's an uppity negress. I usually have to mod shit like that into the games I play, IF someone made mods like that.
I thought about checking that out again. I played on Xbox though and I'm not interested in moving to desk gaming (i.e. without a controller). I can't remember the exact map but I loved the night conquest. The darkness just added another level of fun for me.
I don't disagree that it's better. Just that I do not and will not game at a desk. Non negotiable. I sit at a desk enough I don't want to migrate to a different desk for my fun time too.
Do you have a USB cable for your Xbox controller(s)? Because I only play my PC games with a gamepad (or in the case of flight sims, flight sticks, or in the case of racing games, a racing wheel).
Most new gaming rigs have Bluetooth built in, so I can just pair my PlayStation controllers directly with the rig and call it a day. Bluetooth works seamlessly (not so much with the Switch controllers, though).
I have wired and wireless Xbox controllers; bought a wireless USB dongle and have an Atolla multi-port USB adapter where all the wireless dongles are hooked up for various devices. Setting up controllers in Steam's Desktop Configuration also enables using the controller like a mouse, so I can just navigate the desktop with the right analog and use the triggers as mouse buttons to open up programs. Means I don't even have to use a keyboard or mouse to even get into the games.
I use the USB dongle. I also have a trackball and a keyboard when I need it. I usually use the trackball to move around I can sit it on the arm of the couch, on a pillow, wherever. I can play FPS with it if I want, but I only do on older things I really want to play still. I could never be good enough with it to compete in competitive multiplayer and a PC game like Battlebit I'd just get embarrassed by desk players if I was on a controller. It's fine, I really don't care for competitive gaming anymore.
I never would have gone back to PC gaming if controller support wasn't such a thing now.
I don't even touch competitive shooters anymore, or if I do it's usually for the single-player or against bots.
For me the absolutely sweet spot for a control mechanism is the button layout of a gamepad, with the Xbox Elite's concaved octagonal digital pad, but with the Steam controller's haptic touchpads, plus hall sensors.
It's a shame there are no controllers with all of those in one. I would pay an arm and leg for all of those features.
I actually bought an 8bitdo Xbox controller clone recently. My Xbox controllers are getting a bit worn out. Im not hard on them but they arent the newest either. Since I'm on PC it works just like an Xbox controller, but won't work on Xbox. Neat little charging dock, Dpad is a ton better (I tend to like a plus Dpad), has a couple buttons on the back that aren't quite paddles but usable. I mean it's not an elite grade controller by any means, but it was $40 and I've never felt it any worse quality than a regular level Xbox controller. I think the fancier one has the hall effect sticks and works on a Switch too. I went for the cheap just to try it.

Lawl. Hes gonna be banned or already banned with these companies policing chat.

I ran Mad Max at 4K on my old Superclocked GTX 1080 some years ago.
That game is extremely well optimised and Avalanche did an amazing job with it, both visually and on a technical level.
So we've gone from gun bunny operators to female celebrities. Lol. Believe it or not, COD was actually about soldiers and warfare 10 years ago, not some kind of weird e-football.
Slippery slope.
So, Call of Duty hit rock bottom and started digging.
Man, her face is absolutely busted.
Her face being busted IRL probably doesn't help.
I know right, almost makes me want to get back into gamedev.
How to say you're gay, without saying you're gay: buying this skin
At this point even playing a game that does this shit is pretty suspect.
I do not think the CoD fanbase are big Nicki Minaj fans, so maybe Nicki Minaj is a big CoD fan? Or is this chasing that fabled "untapped market" for a 20 year old franchise?
Videogames?

I can't tell reality from parody anymore
Call of Booty
Hmmm.. who would want this?? Surely not white/asian nerds.
Hahahahaha
Now I want to kill myself.
This shit makes Horse Armor look downright dignified.
Wow.
Where my Battlefield 4 homies at? Almost a decade and I still play it.
