MULTI Call of Duty: Vanguard [OT] Had 99 problems, now has 69

[CerebralTiger]

Imagine thinking a Call of Duty game can be dead on arrival

Anyway, patch notes coming soon. Hopefully, the launch issues are ironed out.

Good on Activision for taking the issue seriously and removing it with a swift update.

As Necrokiller already knows, many studios outsource some of their work, and it's difficult to keep track of everything when rushing to meet the launch deadline.

Stuttering issues on muh Call of Poopy? Oh noes

 

[Chandoo]

God damn, that is a shit optimized game. Series consoles have severe drops too but the PS5 version has multiple 00 FPS pauses. It's like Skyrim's Vanilla PS3 version.

 

[CerebralTiger]

No stuttering drops to 0 fps here. I can capture videos from the same areas agar Necrokiller ko doubt hai

Wait for VG Tech's analysis for a proper performance comparison. The PS5 seems to be outperforming the Series X in the 120fps mode. That said, it performs great overall regardless of what version is picked.

P.S. No multiplayer comparison?

UK Call of Duty launch sales down 40% year-on-year

Call of Duty: Vanguard's launch sales in the UK are down 40% over last year's game, the latest GSD data shows.Physical …

lmao

Imagine laughing at the 2nd biggest launch of the year in a country where FIFA is considered a bigger deal

The article mentions BF 2042 and Halo, but will they really play a role here? Let's look at their sales when they're out

 

[Necrokiller]

FIFA 22 was released a month earlier tho

 

[CerebralTiger]

It's the UK. FIFA is bigger there, and it has a 1-month lead

 

[Necrokiller]

I mean, Cold War sales already declined last year and Vanguard has even fallen below that

 

[CerebralTiger]

And yet, still the 2nd biggest launch of the year

WW2 CODs have historically sold less then the modern ones

 

[Necrokiller]

The commooooonity has declined this year though. Listen to your commoooooonity

 

[CerebralTiger]

But it's still much higher than the commoooonity for BF, and still the 2nd biggest commoooonity for a AAA release in the UK

Lagta hai November NPD thread banaani hi parday gi

 

[Necrokiller]

Oh yeah, whatever happened to the October NPD? Right, Back 4 Blood and Far Cry 6 destroyed the queen

 

[CerebralTiger]

Metroid Dread is the biggest opening month for a Metroid game ever, and it doesn't include digital sales (I got a digital copy ). "Imagine paying $60 for a 2D Metroidvania"...well, guess what

 

[Necrokiller]

"for a Metroid game"

Hahahaha, says it all really. Couldn't even outsell Back 4 Blood lmao

 

[CerebralTiger]

Metroid games aren't top sellers like Nintendo's other franchises. Opening at #3 is a huge deal, especially up against multiplatform games released on 3 platforms at #1 and #2

And it doesn't include digital sales

 

[Necrokiller]

Imagine gloating about Nintendo as a market leader and posting console sales every chance you get and then falling back to the "multiplatform" argument against a 78 metascore game that was also on Game Pass at launch.

Bechaaari queen, $60 bhaari parh gaye

 

[CerebralTiger]

Imagine thinking digital sales on the Switch are insignificant. Factor those in, and it probably takes the lead over Back 4 Blood
