Fuck Activision

there's literally nothing wrong with brown and gloom. and there's also nothing wrong with colourful, zany and wacky. the only problem is when game developers start copying each other and a trend arises.

/thread

they went tf2

>i tried to make a smart post but still came off as a brainlet

>people got sick of seeing brown and dull colors for so long
>switch
>people are now sick of seeing vibrant pastel colors after so long
it's only cyclical

no

I've noticed it too lately, people crying about anything that is not realistic brown and bloom graphics.
>waah it's for kids
>waah games used to look better 10 years ago

Yes.

FUCK VIDYA

GET MONEY

So aside from the cosmetic microtransaction bullshit and paywall-locked DLC maps are there any actual changes to the gameplay or is still exactly like it was in the original?

nuh uh

It's not pastel, it's neon.

>people crying about anything that is not realistic brown and bloom graphics
people are complaining about wacky fortnite characters being shoved into everything.

Longer time to kill

No hit scan

Recoil patterns

Fucking hell

>he doesn't like the era of bump map and stencil shader shooters (during which we got great shooters and physics that supplemented gameplay)

There's a fucking in between point.

brown and gloomy with wacky characters?

Look up the actman on YouTube

The Xbox 360 dude bros are pissed shooters aren’t gray and brown anymore

>why is this company latching onto an aesthetic style that's currently popular?
>why don't they keep doing the same thing for over a decade, because surely everyone else is as boring and pathetic as me that enjoys endless repitition?
Why are you a faggot that cares about CoD at all? it was aimed at 15 year olds 12 years ago and its aimed at 15 year olds today. Grow up nigger.

It's simple

>FOLLOW THE TRENDS

It's what's in now, violence+goof n glamour+ironic quirk

>It finally happened, people are nostalgic for brown and bloom.
Holy shit lol. I'm getting old

I miss the era of sharp and clean looking textures and not that much clutter on screen as we have today. The right amount of detail.

This is happening widespread now
Thanks HDR for pushing it even more

Man I remember these graphix blowing my mind back then. Still looks amazing

IT'S A FUCKING GIANT WORM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reminder that in 2007 Call of Duty had all that whacky shit in zombies which only got whackier with each game in Black Ops, Black Ops 2, and so on some of which is even more retarded on a surface level than this fortnite shit

REALISM GOOD
IMAGINATION BAD

Even with MGS4's dated technical visuals, it still manages to have a more cinematic feeling than the hollywood-wannabe games today. Something about the choreography and camera work really drives it in and makes you feel like you could be watching this in a theater. I can't really describe it well but it's a lot different from games now that just feel like they dumped all the budget on facial capture and cobbled together some random set pieces afterward.

like doom and quake?

Doom was really colorful.

but user activision saved blizzard

I think people nostalgic for GTA IV is the one that annoys me the most.

>Children's bright colors make the game good.
Jesus Christ how do you get this pathetic?

God Gears was such a fucking ugly game. Technically impressive for the time, but the art direction sucks. Now that I think about it, Crysis is pretty bland too.

i feel like this about a lot of the games I use to play.

i guess you could say woah.... so this.... is the power..... of underage posters

no one fucking cares about you 30+ year olds and you absolute endless issues you have with everything. just shut the fuck up or die because ein the end you dont add anything to life except complaints with zero motivation to make something better. literally im not telling a lie. kill yourselves

So they ruined it?

Only good thing about Gears were the glitches. The sheer asshurt Kung-Fu flipping caused was glorious.

PEGGLE 2 BABY

No surprise people are now nostalgic over prequel star wars partly because memes warped their minds

I'm nostalgic over prequel star wars cause we still got good games from prequels meanwhile present day we get shitty games AND shitty movies.

I mean, when you're going to war and trying to stay camouflaged, it is.

The older I get the more I realize that 3D games just don't age well in general, especially as display technology gets better.

Most of these games I remember playing on my CRT, I didn't have a decent 1080p until 2012 or so. Now that everything is 4K they look even worse.

the higher the definition the more you can see imperfactions. it's a weird tradeoff for better image quality
i played GTAIV on a CRT and when i switched to a HD screen i was sort of let down by the amount of jaggies and shitty textures

The bright, colorful, over-the-top costumes in these games are just like the shiny shoulder pads and particle/light effect armors in MMOs and MOBAs. Shiny, out of place, shit designed to appeal to retards. Usually sold to them too.

...

yeah we're now in a really weird time where graphics really aren't advancing that much because of resolution being too high

>2007 Call of Duty
Call of Duty 4 didn't have anything zombie related, zoomer. You're confused, that all started with Black Ops.

I say Black Ops but it was World at War in 2008. Regardless, it was Treyarch that fucked up the series.

Good thing Activision kept them while fucking over IW

World at War released within a year retard.
>that all started with black ops
Wow so it's an actual fucking zoomer LARPing as a boomer. Get your shit straight, zombies started with WaW

I need to leave Yea Forums, sometime in the next 3 years. This place is far gone and I been here for too long.

People have been nostalgic for GTA V for years now, same as Skyrim and Minecraft all from that same era

I hear ya, user, I should just cut off my internet and move on with my life. No use coming here as a boomer. See you in 2022 ;_;

I don't get it, what point is he missing?

theres a more prevalent slide dash mechanic for rushing and dodging into cover, a remnant of parkour which people disliked because verticality is too hard for cod kiddies to understand. also they removed auto regen health and changed it to a stim system where you can rush more efficiently and heal faster in between fights. specialists are now actually more specialized and gets to have a lowish cool down skill and also a play making ult when in blops 3 it was ult only

mps not bad for cod standards, BR is outclassed by apex in my opinion but its decently solid but riddled with technical issues

t. edgelord

it doesn't have to look like a rainbow or a my little pony cartoon you retard.

You deserve everything you get. How did you like Activision sliding their cock down your throat with the jetpack CoDs? They catered to people who didn't play the game, and threw their loyal customers to the side. But you proved them right by continuing to purchase it regardless of how the community rejected the new movement system. Fuck off cod kiddie and kill yourself.

i remember the time when Yea Forums was actively against brown military shooters#1232

I can guarantee you OP plays fortshit. The whacky shit shouldn't bother him.

>everything must be realistic and accurate in war because I want to experience war but only the short rare battles fun times and nothing else, fuck having fun

>One clip per man, one rifle per squad
>Bum rush the Germans
CoD 1 was actually a fantastic game

Infinity Ward's CoD games were always brown and grey, they only got a pass because they were actually still good games until West and Zampella left. Treyarch's games were always colorful and have been the best games in the series since BO1.

>a remnant of parkour which people disliked because verticality is too hard for cod kiddies to understand.
>mfw people actually cheered for the removal of the jumpy shit from BO3.

Soviet missions in ww2 Call of Duty games were always top kino. You can't tell me otherwise.

You're right for CoDbabbies but there is something to be said about how microtransaction cosmetic costumes have gone hardcore in ruining artstyles
Even fucking TF2 got retarded with hats and costume items fucking with the great original designs of the characters

Attached: DtcZEKHUUAAkM2l.jpg (577x675, 32K)

The thing is that "realistic" art styles age like fucking piss because the moment the tech gets better, the more realistic you can get with graphics, causing the previous realistic graphics look shitty
Meanwhile games like Okami, Jet Set Radio and other games with a cartoony art style can age so well in comparison
