You know, the thing with COD that's fun or at least goals to strive for and the reason to play is to try and unlock all the camos and challenges and whatnot. It forces you to use different guns and tactics and all that good stuff. Then the store opens, and you may buy some cool looking apparel, watches, gun skins, or whatever else they throw up to look cool. But the biggest downside in grinding all this stuff is the short shelf life of these games. It makes me feel it's so pointless.
Like, I can understand grinding challenges or buying some cosmetics in games that have years of life, something like Overwatch or even Halo makes sense. People play those games for years, in Overwatch's case 5 years and the sequel will carry over all cosmetic progress. Halo 5 for 5 years, Infinite who knows how long. But with COD, all that work and money you put into it is done in like 10 months, and then everyone just moves onto the next game and absolutely jack shit carries over.
It just makes me less motivated to grind the game. What's your reason for doing so?
