They said Call of Duty wouldn't fail
Posted 8 days ago
The analysis begins with a provocative assertion that Call of Duty, a franchise once thought invincible, is now facing a crisis likened to the Titanic's ill-fated journey. This sentiment is echoed in the observation that the latest installment, Black Ops 7, is failing spectacularly, drawing parallels between the franchise's overconfidence and an imminent downfall. Activision's expectation to dominate the market without genuine effort has backfired, leading to what appears to be the worst performance metrics for a Call of Duty title yet, notwithstanding the assurances that it was 'too big to fail.' The host discusses how the game's promotional trailers have drawn a wave of negative feedback, as evidenced by a striking number of dislikes, hinting at a broader industry shift where consumers are increasingly discerning about where they invest their money. A staggering drop of 60 to 70% in both sales and active player counts is presented as a dire indicator of the franchise’s declining influence. Moreover, the host provocatively suggests that even lesser-known titles, such as Dragon Age: The Veil Guard, have outperformed Black Ops 7, which he characterizes as a half-hearted effort, indicating a lack of innovation and care in its development. Transitioning into specifics, the discussion highlights how the franchise has seemingly stagnated, with Black Ops 7 being described as 'phoned in' and marred by poor production values, including the oversight of leaving remnants of previous titles in the game's assets. This lack of polish symbolizes a larger trend within the gaming industry where marquee franchises are losing touch with their audience, illustrating a fundamental disconnect between developers and gamers. Ultimately, the commentary underscores a shifting landscape in gaming, where consumer expectations are evolving, and the consequences of complacency can be dire for even the biggest names in the industry.
