I work at a Gamestop in a mall that gets a decent amount of traction, what happened yesterday sincerely broke my heart.

Yesterday, I had a group of kids come in and empty what looked like their entire piggy bank on the counter with a couple of PSN and XBL currency cards. Its usually a trend to see kids come in and buy V-Bucks or what have you and the interaction between myself explaining to customers what they're for and their parents' looks of disbelief is usually what makes my day. This wasn't one of those scenarios.

These little guys had to have been under 13, dropping around $60-$100 on codes. I jokingly asked what they were buying them for, and without hesitation perked up and said "COD Points." I explained to them how I'm so used to seeing kids buy V-Bucks and they began to exclaim their hatred for Fortnite and how it's "Old" and a "waste of money."

They then went on to tell me the "benefits" of Blackjacks Shop, Contraband and the Special Offers stating how this was such a good investment as BO4's microtransactions are more "worth it."

This is poison.

Of course it's not my place to discourage sales or speak out of turn, so I let them carry on with their happy day as I once remembered what I used COD Points for, before there even was such a thing. I thought to myself how these kids are gonna go off and spend such a big sum of money on cosmetics they'll maybe see for 5-10% of their daily life excluding actual gun camos. I remember being in their exact spot going to gamestop for a PSN card to buy the Afterlife Camo, Bacon, all those goofy camos that were applicable to every gun, covered just about the whole gun, and with their own reticles and calling card to go with it. That only racked up to about $5 as well. Really puts into perspective how much has changed, and how a F2P game like fortnite has changed the scene forever, and ESPECIALLY how Activision rather than going back to their roots and improving, would rather copy the ethics of a game that's free and insert it into a $60 base game. I hope we see some serious change soon, as rare of a chance it'll be.

side note if your performance is bad it might be because the game isn't using all the available cores you have  :lol

This actually helped out quite a bit. Mine was set at 2 and changed it to 4.

lmao at the story in the siege like single player "missions" that are really just tutorials thing

i think i'll play the whole thing, not only to play around with characters other than firebreak (as if i'd use them when he's perfect) but also because the writing is amazing, totally self-aware

I still maintain that the story stuff BLOP3 was trying went over the entire fanbase's head. It's this absolutely insane looping story about death, nature of consciousness and life after death. The entirety of BLOPS3's campaign save the first tutorial mission takes place int he character's mind as their dying. It's why the entire last mission is disjointed with long stretches of the MC screaming peaceful buddhist styled mantras as their body gives out and the cybernetic ai tries to save their mind.

Too bad they tried to tell this story in probably the most non-linear/non corridor styled CoD. Everything was working against this story even the game lol. I love ambitious missteps.

There are still hints throughout BLOPSIV tutorials and even blackout that this is all still some simulation.

PC version runs well and it's so much better when it comes to the UI.
However, I get fucking smoked every time I play it to the point that I won't play it there anymore. I am no world beater on PS4 either, but at least I have a 5% winrate in blackout mode. On PC I am stoked when I get a kill. :doge

It's so much better than PUBG though when it comes to mobility and how the guns feel. It's like PUBG minus the jank and without the stupid building shit in Fortnite.

I wouldn't mind that blackout only thing for console. That is the only part of the game that interests me.

Kinda thought they might move to multi playlist matchmaking after Titanfall 2 did it. Will suck when the player count drops because they also hid the player counts for the playlists. :doge

campiest match of nuketown I've played in years  :lol

Just to give you an idea how campy it was for nuketown, we had zero spawn flips the entire match. Closest was they made a massive push right side of spawn lane as I was cleaning up. This flipped spawns but as they all ran out to the middle I just kept left and the spawns stayed lol.

so that game, literally everyone on one side left except me...so it was little ol level 7 me versus a team of 50+ level dudes a bunch of which were with similar clan tags and custom banners/crap

that Insecurity guy goes "come on benjo u got this"

then i tricked them by starting to capture a point but then backing up the wrong way to hide behind a door, they all rush in to murder me and i pop firebreaks radiation through the wall, then rushed in firing crazily as they panicked and wound up killing four of them (two from the radiation) and nearly taking down one more guy :lol

so i said "warning: no teammates to hold me back now" :smug

but the game isn't actually setup for that because the timer runs out too quickly so i lost and that was the PLAY OF THE GAME because it was the only play in the game :dead

then a bunch of people joined the game and we lost again and i said "see, teammates holding me back" and they were lulzin while teammates were like "wtf u sayin"

good times

dude was on voice chat, but obviously talking to others out of game but apparently not realizing he was broadcasting his whole stupid commentary the whole entire time to everyone for five rounds :lol

he went into this whole thing about how i was hiding because the match had like ten seconds left with so many kill streaks in the air they could barely spawn and i was just standing on the point next to a box not moving cuz i was drinking some tea waiting :kermit

had like half the teams objective score obv :smug

then they started talking about how they should go back to console because not enough people are high enough level on PC to shootbangplay with, maybe don't fill the air with killstreaks endlessly i dunno :idont
