Activision Publishing has laid off almost 5% off their work force

Thanks to all you meme teens and dudebro hating millenials, you've put hundreds of talented people out of a job. Just because of le epic hive mind knee jerk reaction to a Sci-Fi shooter instead of ANOTHER modern military or WW2 one.

BUT THE SAME POKEMON GAME TWICE A YEAR IS OK!

>kids keep buying generic CoDs like Ghosts and MW3
>proceed to meme and ignore the best CoD since MW1
normalfags deserve all the bad things that happen to them

Sci-Fi shit is objectively shit if the primary focus is not battles in space with spacecraft. PROVE ME WRONG

"""Talented"""

That was literally the primary focus of this one though. 80% of the game was space dogfights

Even the worst sci-fi setting is better than any kind of generic "realistic" setting.

>still havent fixed their shitty netcode
they deserve every single thing

Not the mulitplayer. Look at any review and it's the same thing, great campaign that tries new things and repetitive by the book multiplayer.

I don't buy video games or anything else to keep someone employed.
Provide me with hat I want and make sure it's of sufficient quality and in good working order or you deserve to lose your job.
Welcome to planet earth.

Thanks for making my day OP i wish nothing but the worst for trash that makes CoD.

>I don't like this video game so it didn't have any talented people developing it
Show us your LinkedIn profile, cunt. Or better yet, show us the weaboo bullet hell game that you think has a talented dev team.

I hope they starve to death, kill yourself shill.

ye

>this is the US economy under Trump

get used to it

Now they can get hired by companies that actually make good games.
They should be thanking us.

>caring about infinity ward after all the talent left to form respawn

im ok with this

>"Infinity Ward" employees got laid off
Good then

Why exactly am I supposed to give a fuck about some talentless hacks losing their undeserved, overpaid jobs?

ITT: "bad company 2 was my first shooter"

Campaign was genuinely good, had a pretty good ride throughout it. Multiplayer is definitely what brings it down. TTK is ridiculously low, in the killcam it tells you how many hits you took and its usually 3 hits. Too much killstreak bullshit that you can hardly counter unless you run every perk to keep you hidden.

8/10 Campaign - 4/10 Multiplayer

Who could be behind this post?

>AAA game developers
>overpaid
I'm an artist at Avalanche Studios, and I can say that I get paid less than my job I had at Costco.

You think we can affect what fucking casuals go out and buy? Activision always run its franchises to the grave, just look what happened with guitar hero.

CoD got stale, this was bound to happen.

Good. Name one good game Beenox has done, and Infinity Ward stopped being Infinity Ward a long time ago. Fuck Activision, fuck nu-Ward, and fuck Beenox especially.

...and who's fault is that?

Hello, let me give you some hints:
1. Don't make shooters, make more interesting gameplay than point and shoot. The latter gets repetitive quickly.
2. Add an interesting story, not some excuse plot.
3. Make a longer single player campaign, 5-10 hours is not enough
4. Drop multi-player completely, make it a separate product. If your single player can't stand on its own, it's not worth buying.
5. If you target a Western audience, put white people in your games. Japanese games aimed at Japanese gamers are not full of Chinese guys either.
6. Put less females in there if you decide to have a military setting. It's not really believable otherwise.
7. Half the 80 bucks retail price and deliver a complete game on disc, which works on day one.

Take some hints from Witcher 3 how to do it right. HTH

>Name one good game Beenox has done
uh bee movie game

Congrats, your studio is known for one IP. Did you expect to make your million working on Just Cause 5?

The publishers (in my case, square enix)
Even Nolan North complained about it at the game awards.

>best CoD since MW1

You mean BO2?

System Shock you faglord

>Japanese games aimed at Japanese gamers are not full of Chinese guys
How can you tell the difference?

they started the cancer and they are responsible for its growing.
I feel nothing. Fuck them all.

take it up with them you pussy cunt

So it's not your fault you willingly took a shitty, low paying job- it's your employer's fault.
Gotcha.

>he thinks that's the only studio I work at
>implying I don't make more from my patreon drawing porn
The "edgy NEET" thing is getting old, try another angle.

My point is that's EVERY studio that is plagued with underpaid Devs. Everyone but the voice actors get pennies.

>the same modern warfare guns
>except they now shoot lasers!

I'm waiting for it to go down to like $15, then I'll pick it up to play through the campaign.

Well, why would I care if you got laid off then? Sounds like it would do you more good to be forced to find something else where you can actually make a comfortable living instead of carrying a cross around wanting people to feel sorry for you and the choices you yourself made.

>hundreds of talented people out of a job

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>hundreds of talented people
nicca plz, most of the talent left these studios a long time ago... do you even know how many ingame assets and animations were outsourced? The people with the actual talent are either freelancers or working for studios doing contract work for Activision.

So all the character concept artists and environment artists are drawing stick figures? Retard

>best CoD since MW1
Black Ops?

Which was exactly what I was laughing at. There isn't an ounce of talent or passion to be found there. Just underachiever idiots with shit degrees barely holding on, feeding off the scraps tossed their way.

>you lived to see Cowadoody die

>you've put hundreds of talented people out of a job
Highly unlikely, Activision does not employ many talented people in menial positions, and they are even less likely to lay off those they´ve got.

Also, if a company makes shit, behaves shittily, talks shit about its customers, treats them like shit, it is not the customers´ fault if said company needs to reduce their staff.
