Destiny.
Sure there were MMO-Lite games before it but I think Destiny really kicked off the whole games as a service thing.
Few have managed to come close to that perfect loop Destiny achieves though. The absolutely incredible gameplay combined with that addictive loot grind is just something else.

I love Mischief Makers because Treasure games are amazing and you get to SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE things.

@bam541 If you want to sample how well Infinity Ward are doing, play Titanfall 2 or Apex Legends.
Infinity Ward, much like Rare, Retro, Bioware and so many other "legacy" companies, are basically just the company in name alone, as the majority of the original talent has left.

@bigdude1 I honestly found Black Ops 1 to be so bad that I was personally insulted by it.

@bam541 Nah. Fuck that shit. It's been like 20 years of this shit. They can't keep blaming it on "being behind in technology". They're just trash.

I learned that "Developed by Treyarch" is code for "This game will be complete dogshit" a loong time ago.

Just bought Marvel's Avengers.
Finally dropped to a price I was willing to pay (30 bux), the game's meta is getting a huge overhaul in June, and later in Summer they're finally dropping the Black Panther/Wakanda expansion.

Going to be playing with some old GT buddies. Hopefully it's good, or at least my unbridled love of capeshit will help me push through.

@jdincinerator Dooooope. I loved playing that on my Vita.

@scotty You mean like PS Now, that thing they had before GamePass?

At the risk of causing somebody to have a breakdown, I don't see the problem.
You are getting a "free" game that will still work on the PS5. It smacks of entitlement that people are angry that it isn't the version that they want or that they can't get a discount on the newer version because they were given said "free" game.

Nobody is is screwing anybody over, and nobody is getting screwed over.
