Call of Duty: Modern Warfare more than doubled the box office opening of Joker.

"What we don't mention is that CoD costs five to eight times as much as a Joker ticket does, so really, a lot more people went to see the Joker than bought CoD. But that doesn't jibe with this alternate reality we're trying to paint that makes our Chinese investor overlords happy."

and COD costs like $60-100 or so dollars per person.

Fuck all the asshats who support Actiblizz and monsters like them. This is why we can't have nice things.

Despite mixed reviews and security concerns, Joker made a record-breaking $93.5 million in its opening weekend in the U.S.,Its global gross was $234 million

600mm > 234mm. Not exactly sure what you're going on about.

Why do these games continue to sell so well? People really seem to enjoy playing basically the same game with a fresh coat of paint year after year don't they?

If the game had a lower TTK and a Rush mode, it's all we'd play.

They finally made a larger-scaled game, but it still plays like CoD arcade console boy bullshit shooter.. so camp, CAMP CAMP!

Middle school, high school and college kids. Then everyone under the age of 30.

What percentage of video game revenue do you think comes from that group?

I'd say a solid 80%. If you up it to 40, 90%+. For some reason, older people seem to still think everything should cater to them, despite them no longer being a profitable group to cater to.

Now factor in cost/hour of play/viewing.

$100 for 100 hours of play time=$1/hr
$100 for 50 hours of play time =$2/hr
$100 for 25 hours of play time=$4/hr

Joker
$10 for 2 hours of viewing=$5/hr (I'll leave out parking, $10 popcorn, $10 coke, anxiety about being shot)

So much for that boycott.

It's trending down, at least. It used to be that they didn't have to come up with a bunch of specific accolades to give themselves, the new game each year would simply outsell everything that came before. Now it's the biggest COD release on PC (always the smallest market for these since the original MW), biggest digital release overall, biggest first three days this console generation, biggest release among teenagers that stole mom's credit card to pay for it, etc.

Lower TTK = even more camping?

COD is the poster child for arcade console boy bullshit shooters, so not sure what you were expecting?

I confess, I purchased this title (on PC). I haven't purchased a Call of Duty since Modern Warfare (original), and that's one of the reasons I bought this. I also wanted a fulfilling single player game that I could get through in a weekend and wasn't going to take 40+ hours which I just don't have at the moment (I'm sorry Outer Worlds, you look great though).

Modern Warfare (original) single player was fantastic (imho). Interesting story and characters, so when this came out - and it wasn't a remaster-of-the-remaster, I thought I'd get it.

While the game is well produced, it falls far short of its spiritual predecessor. I got through the entire campaign on Veteran difficulty in ~6 hours. The story was lacklustre and the only character I can recall is Captain Price and that's mainly because he was in the original 'Modern Warfare'.

The story is just bad with a terrible ending that involves (*spoiler*): the death of one of your squad for absolutely no reason. You've cleared the entire facility of bad guys and yet he announces over the com in the ending cut-scene he's not going to make it ... not only does it make no sense - the logical equivalent of deliberately sacrificing yourself to demolish a derelict building - no one on your team bats an eyelid, it's also too short and the missions are uninteresting.

Compared to the heart thumping tempo of the original this is a poor imitation and a good reason Activision won't be seeing any further purchases of the series from me.

Hey dude, when you say *spoiler*, put some fucking distance between that word and the next.
