I'm glad king of meat died. Good small games die all the time. I loved Karmazoo. It was just a multiplayer coop platformer. It was really fun and deserved a chance but after the second week after release playerbase died. It just happens

And what's wrong with an open world version of Megaman? Or was Megaman Legends a bit before your time? It's hard to tell with kids today how old they are. It was a good series, bit more of a Metroid-Vania style game rather than open world ARPG, but toe-may-toe, toe-mah-toe and all that. Also, I know someone entering the contest for the robot master design for Capcom's upcoming Megaman game, he created this really neat robot master centered around recycling garbage, I thought it was very well made.

Activision has said in a statement before that they will no longer release COD every year, but they still released every year anyways.

I won't buy a Call of Duty game until they announce they've gone back to the single-player-only model. Imagine an open-world shooter with RPG elements, but you're a paratrooper separated from their squad in Nazi-France. I'd play the SHIT out of that game.

Yo Jake @gameranxtv can you tell me why no one has ever spoke about mega man legends 1 and 2 it’s prolly my favorite game from my childhood the Easter eggs were insane every time capcom even mentions mega man I always hold hope. lol

it's not the name….the game itself is shit and is a blatant cash grab.

If King of Meat’s main marketing push was a MrBeast video, they should’ve released it on the same day the video dropped. What the hell were they thinking releasing it 3 months later

CoD is dying, there is no revive for it, because the higher ups are too pridefull to go back to their roots like we have been asking for.

Saw CoD on sale at Wallyworld for $50 already. I think that's the fastest price drop I've ever seen for a brand "AAA" game like that. I still have no interest in it, but maybe they'll sell a few more copies at that price.

These giant game companies need to learn, it's not how overinflated the budget and mass marketed your game is anymore, it's more about the fun experiences your customers can have at a reasonable price.

If the industry keeps trying to shove this live service shit down our throats your job is not to go "oh jeeze maybe you should give it a try" i respect you less now Jake, I trust you less. And i will watch you less

I can't believe they thought doing back to back releases were a good thing to begin with. The nice thing about cod was that you'd get a different game every year.

King of meat first emprsion when you see it is just another mobil game. I guess that's the problem. It looks like a mobil game in first impression.

Where is the Black Flag remake? It's clear Ubisoft is gearing up for it right now. It makes sense to me Ubisoft wouldn't pay for a spot during the Game Awards because they can probably reach a large audience when sharing news of this title, just off hype/nostalgia. Maybe an independent news release this week. Still crossing my fingers for a shadow drop before (what I hope is a placeholder) end of March date.

With the quality of content that the streaming services put out, video games made by them are not gonna sell.

If cod wants more players why don't they stop being greedy and throw out the lady and most popular on ps plus or not full price but like 1$ for older games. I still wanna play ghosts. Still wanna play bo4 etc. Also keep better support for past games. Also I've bought zombies Chronicles 2 times and I'm not doing it again ya greedy a holes. Out there losing players not only cuz ya don't care about them .
