Reason that the Stop Killing Games initiative is important number… What are we on now?

There is no singleplayer. The campaign is co-op. If you’re soloing the campaign, you’re still playing online.

“Wake up honey, assassin’s creed 2 DRM came back in 2025!”

People need to stop buying games that are so blatantly anti-consumer.

I think in theory it’s less effort for them because they only need to build the server side engine that the client connects to, instead of also building a local version.

What the actual fuck? I thought I read it wrong at first, how the fuck can this even be a thing?

That makes more sense. I can see how it simplifies things. It still seems like a decision that is lazy and disregards the players.

Of course. They’re just in it to extract as much profit as possible.

No one cares about playing CoD for campaign anymore lol. The multiplayer this time isn’t a fucking nightmare of being aimbotted by idiots with no thumbs on controller and an extreme manipulative matchmaking that gives you three games against kids with cerebral palsy and then five games of nothing but omegasweats using meta weapons.

Meanwhile, Arc Raiders has AI voice acting and BF6 has the worst hit detection I’ve ever seen in an FPS. People really think they can compete with CoD and then proceed to fumble the ball every time, and those are ALSO anti-consumer practices.

Who is this even for? Do people enjoy this?

I do…and many others do too if the game itself wasn’t such a pile of shit forcing you online because ‘its where the fun is’… I love campaigns in shooters. online play is trash unless I can play with ONLY my friends. it’s one of the main reasons I stopped paying for the garbage that they keep producing and don’t consider these companies at entertainment more then I would scraping dog shit off my shoes

Just play a singleplayer FPS then? That isn’t CoD’s niche anymore my dude.

Apologize harder for anti consumer practices, challenge mode: nightmare

I wonder what would be the mental capacity range if we sampled the group of people who buy FIFA, COD, and Forza every year.

I don’t think there are any single player military shooters anymore… at least not that come to mind. I think COD drove them all out of business… Phase 1 of Enshittification.

Point to me one AAA studio that doesn’t have those. If you want to be 100% ethical you should only buy indie games, and I honestly don’t fault anyone for doing so. I just buy whatever game I find good. Unless the company is literally funding nazis, LGBTQ+ phobia (like Hogwarts Legacy), or war crimes (like Escape from Tarkov, and I also did not buy BO7 until Microsoft pulled out of giving money to Israel), if the game is good in the area I care about, I will buy it.

I can point to you several other games, many of them shooters, that are singleplayer. Like, you have the three modern DOOM games and ULTRAKILL just as an example. And like, you don’t NEED to have it be new games? You can just buy old singleplayer military FPSes?? Like, just looking at my library, I have Arma: Cold War Assault, Red Alert 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, every Bioshock game, Half-Life 1 and 2, Black Mesa, Medal of Honor (2010), Crysis 2, Spec Ops: The Line…

I stopped playing COD games like 57 titles ago.

Forza hasn’t been an annual release for almost a decade

By the same argument, why not just play last year’s CoD? It’s not really fun playing the same campaign over and over unless you’re a speedrunner or something. I want new single player experience, just like I want new TV shows and movies. I don’t have time to stay competitive in any online multiplayer games, and it seems like the only ones making single player games anymore are indie devs.
