Hey man, the first 4 may have been failures but Babylon 5 is worth it
Why do people still play that game? I quit after black ops 2? I think. Got MW2 with my ps5 played a few times and the game is just so far from the game I loved 15-20 years ago. Why do so many people complain so hard about it and keep playing? I bought the outer worlds and assassin's Creed Ragnarok recently for less than some call of duty skins lol. Just stop playing. I'm sorry but I don't understand the mindset of complaining about the black eyes you get when you punch yourself.
I just stopped playing PvP games in general and I'm quickly giving up on co-op with randoms. All that shit is too toxic. FFXIV has been a bastion of good community vibes, and recently, to my surprise, Night Reign, but probably only because there isn't voice chat.
Same, single player for me.
Oh, don't get me wrong. I actually like the game, otherwise I would be playing something else. I just dislike the way the community has dragged it into a dumb direction because of the devs actively choosing to put Shipment on every game since MW2019. Most players now literally have an aneurysm if they don't fight someone within 5 seconds of spawning.
The original shipment was awesome because it was a change of pace of the bigger, more guided maps. Same with Nuketown. However, at some point in there, literally every map just became some minor variation of those chaotic maps. The only difference between TDM and free for all was half the time shooting someone did nothing.
The old games you could actually be able to just be good, follow a plan and clear the path. Anymore, they made the maps so chaotic that you couldn't possibly clear your way because the second you finished checking one path, you move on to the next and get shot by some asshole coming from the place you just checked.
I played a few after that at my buddy's house, but I had quit buying them. By the time advanced warfare came out, I wouldn't even play it there anymore. It just ceased being fun even while drunk. Then I played MW2 because it came free with the PS5 because why not? The original was one of my favorite games of all time! I played through the campaign and that was fun, but multiplayer had somehow gotten even worse! And don't get me started on the battle Royale bullshit. You could say that maybe I just got old, but I watched the decline in real time, in the prime of my life. Hell, even as late as ghosts, I was still averaging over a 2.6 k/d. In the MW2 remake, it was closer to 1.1! Wtf?!? And I just can't get behind a military game that adds in goofy ass skins. I'm even kinda ok with reasonable micro transactions for cool gear. Reasonable being like $.99-$2.99 like gran Turismo. I totally respect that. But $20 for a skin?!? GTFO. And making the game a joke in the process? Ugh. See? This is why I don't play that shit anymore. It raises my blood pressure lol.
I just played again for a long while today, but only Zombies with my bud. I will say I unironically love shipment because I just don’t feel like winning is a skill thing and that takes the pressure off. I just throw out my traps and go around full ape-shit with a shotgun. Totally recognize that’s not what actually good pvp’ers would want, but it works for my casual ass ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
