Mind you its 2026 and they're still selling this game like it came out 5 years ago...oh BIGtivision, why do you have to be so greedy and FAT
Same issue as Black Ops 2 as of the date of this review. Every COD and Activision game is on sale except this one, and still being sold for 40$ + full price DLC when the game is nearly 15 years old. Its unironically cheaper to buy the most recent entry as of date: Black Ops 7 (Though I heavily endorse not purchasing that piece of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, because ♥♥♥♥ Activision and their AI slop that they're using to replace half of their 11 studios with)
Should be illegal to charge $60+ for a 16 year old game. Game is nearly old enough to legally drink and it costs more than a slab does. great game, predatory ♥♥♥♥♥♥ company that runs it all
Good game to play if you want someone to execute a remote access trojan on your PC and leak all your p0rn and search history for badmouthing them on vc
Best COD, but go and uncheck "Read Only" in the properties menu of the Config.CFG file. Otherwise your campaign progress might randomly delete itself.
I think the price is still high because of licensing, pure and simple. It's still Treyarch/Activision's fault for not negotiating a better deal for the long term. 10/10 game and not because of nostalgia. Played this on the Wii originally stealing the neighbor's wifi to play online lol, then PS3, then PC and soon... PS5.
中文评测(Chinese Version): 我不得不吐槽的是,现在的使命召唤系列贵的离谱,Xbox上黑色行动1到3Treyarch更是疯狂给其涨价,就连美国区都由原来的$15.99涨价到$25.99,我不禁要问了,2010年发行的游戏有必要涨价到这么贵吗?动视你是想钱想疯了吗?这部游戏原本定价为¥112,打完折为¥56元,四个DLC每部定价¥48元,打完折¥24元,现在呢?¥228元的本体,¥88元的DLC,问题是游戏的剧情流程还有4个DLC的诚意值得现在这个价格吗?完全不值得。Steam上这游戏再怎么经典已经没有多少人玩了,很多DLC的附加内容完全毫无用处。我只想说谁要是预算不足的情况下还在Steam上买这些老古董,谁的脑子绝对坏掉了。 抛开游戏价格不谈,这个游戏质量如何?不用说,很厉害的,使命召唤:二战以前的完全可以买,但是能抛开价格吗?抛不了一点,一瓶矿泉水撑死5元,现在卖你50元,你觉得合理吗?本身游戏的价值和定价是强绑定的,不同地区的经济水平不同,更何况这部游戏的多人已经没多少人了,剧情模式还有僵尸模式再怎么玩就那些内容,终会打腻的,你实际用的有效时间很短,在这段时间内的成本巨高,让人完全负担不起。动视会看到这条评论重新评估游戏定价吗?完全不会的,这是一个极其不负责任的厂商,定价毫无逻辑可言,涨价涨的如此贪婪,这种资本家的丑恶嘴脸暴露无遗。 Steam阿根廷区和Xbox阿根廷区价格没有上调前怎么样?打完折几元钱挺划算的,本身也玩不了多久,就玩玩剧情和僵尸模式,现在价格已经上调非常厉害了,打完折118元,我完全买不起这款游戏,很感谢俄罗斯卖家,虽然我收到了只有俄语的版本,而且是奸商囤货涨价后的结果,但是60元的价格还算可以,因为这已经是我能买到的最便宜的渠道了,如果大家想买这部游戏最便宜的版本不妨去接触一下俄罗斯卖家,如果你们想要有英语版本,而且不在乎XGP会员订阅,就去Xbox加拿大区,打完折CDN$14.99,也就75元左右,不开会员玩不了多人和僵尸模式的,就看你怎么取舍了。 动视这定价随心所欲,根本就不考虑当地实际消费水平,一款游戏质量再好,价格远超其价值也终究是垃圾,但凡定价112我都不说什么了,你们的使命召唤合集包能卖出2000元左右的定价真的是想钱想疯了。祝你们的游戏越做越烂,公司连年亏损,这么贵的游戏玩玩盗版就好了,能不要花冤枉钱不要花,这动视的游戏不值得买情怀。 English Version: I have to complain that the current Call of Duty series is ridiculously expensive, and Black Ops 1 to 3 Treyarch on Xbox has increased its price like crazy, even in the United States, the price has increased from the original $15.99 to $25.99, I can't help but ask, is it necessary for games released in 2010 to increase the price to be so expensive? Activision, are you crazy about money? The game was originally priced at ¥112, discounted at ¥56, and the four DLCs were priced at ¥48 each and ¥24 after the discount, but now? ¥228 yuan body, ¥88 yuan DLC, the question is whether the plot flow of the game and the sincerity of 4 DLCs are worth the current price? Not worth it at all. No matter how classic this game is on Steam, not many people play it, and many DLC add-ons are completely useless. I just want to say that whoever buys these old antiques on Steam on a tight budget will definitely have a broken brain. Game price aside, how is the quality of this game? Needless to say, it's amazing, Call of Duty: Pre-World War II is completely available for purchase, but can you put aside the price? I can't throw a little, a bottle of mineral water supports 5 yuan, and now I sell you 50 yuan, do you think it's reasonable? The value and pricing of the game itself are strongly bound, the economic level of different regions is different, not to mention that the player of this game is almost very few, the campaign mode and zombie mode no matter how to play those contents, you will eventually get tired of it, you actually use it for a short time, and the cost during this period is huge, which is completely unaffordable. Will Activision see this comment to reevaluate the game's pricing? Not at all, this is an extremely irresponsible manufacturer, the pricing is illogical, the price increase is so greedy, and the ugly face of this capitalist is exposed. What about Steam Argentina and Xbox Argentina prices before they were not raised? After the discount of a few yuan is quite cost-effective, it doesn't take long to play, just play the plot and zombie mode, now the price has been raised very much, after the discount of 118 yuan, I can't afford to buy this game at all, I am very grateful to the Russian seller, although I received the version only in Russian, and it is the result of the profiteer hoarding the price increase, but the price of 60 yuan is still okay, because this is already the cheapest channel I can buy, if you want to buy the cheapest version of this game, you may wish to contact the Russian seller, If you want to have an English version and don't care about XGP membership subscriptions, go to Xbox Canada, and after the discount CDN$14.99, which is about 75 yuan, you can't play multiplayer and zombie mode without a membership, it depends on how you choose. Activision's pricing is as you like, it doesn't consider the actual local consumption level at all, no matter how good the quality of a game is, the price far exceeds its value is garbage after all, but I won't say anything if the price is 112, your Call of Duty collection can be sold for about 2,000 yuan The pricing is really crazy for money. I wish you games are getting worse and worse, the company has been losing money year after year, such an expensive game is good to play pirated versions, can you not spend unjust money and don't spend it, this Activision game is not worth buying.
♥♥♥♥ you go on sale
They brought this back on console and people are actually having fun again. Meanwhile on Steam the servers are still a cheater sanctuary where every lobby has someone with a gaming chair from NASA and 180 ping is apparently the regional standard.
The numbers Mason, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?! (be careful playing this game online, probably don't)
