I really don't understand why people like those games. I don't find them fun at all. And the micro transactions are so fucking obnoxious.

    They're a very pure and straightforward shooter experience with a lot of polish. I don't think it's that weird.

    The level of monetization is totally unhinged at this point, but there's a good game buried underneath it all.

    If you want w straightforward shooter you go play cs 1.6...

    Cod is the single furthest thing from a straight forward shooter. There's fucking a billion random ass shit mechanics all stacked on top of the actual shooter.

    A straightforward shooter has guns, the ability to run and jump and a map.

    That's it. The moment you start adding abilities and magic techno bullshit it ain't a straightforward shooter.
