I really have no interest in buying a 60 dollar game each year that has minimal improvements and will have zero playerbase once the next game comes out.
I have no idea why people keep falling for this.
yeah ones good ones utter shite
but BO1 was so good what happened
activision gave the blops team enough creative freedom to do whatever weird crazy shit they wanted with 1, 2 and 3 but now that battle royale is a thing upper management is calling the shots again
A fundamental change in setting imo. The first Black Ops was interesting because it had a somewhat unconventional story told in a relatively unexplored setting with a much darker spin on the Cold War, which set it apart. The next two games pretty much abandoned everything that made Black Ops interesting for a future storyline that lacked the sort of “plausible deniability” edge that the first game had. Black Ops 2 tried by having the flashback missions with the previous characters, but to me, all the future stuff was a real turn off.
Black Ops means nothing in a fictional world without a basis in reality.
That's regress, really.
My perspective, as the guy who buys Battlefield every year and CoD (almost) every year, is that I typically get hundreds of hours out of these games before the next one in the series comes out, and even when it does, the playerbase doesn't exactly disappear. It sees a noticeable drop, especially in CoD's case, but for example there are still thousands of people playing Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3, and tens of thousands still playing Battlefield 4.
