In the latest edition of the Steam Weekly Sales Chart, multiplayer online shooters are still the most popular titles among players. At the top of the list, Jedi Submarine 2 has topped the list six times in the past seven weeks, while Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has never dropped out of the top 10. You know, the latter has been released for a full five months.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has maintained a good momentum since its release last November, which is inseparable from the continuous official updates to the game. Frequent IP linkage constantly brings freshness to players. No, the recently popular sci-fi movie "Godzilla vs. King Kong 2" has been linked to the game.
Call of Duty 20: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 include a lot of new content from the Godzilla vs. Kong crossover theme. But in addition to the skins of King Kong, Godzilla, and King Scar, there are also many paid bundles and items. This crossover event has been going on for nearly a week, but players have a very low rating of the [King Kong Glove] weapon.
In the movie promotion stage of "Godzilla vs. Kong 2", King Kong wearing metal gloves was particularly eye-catching. And in the trailer of "Call of Duty 20: Modern Warfare 3" for this crossover event, [King Kong Glove] was also shown to be very powerful. This makes many players flock to it.
But when the event started, players found themselves taking it for granted. Because the conditions for obtaining [King Kong Gloves] are very harsh. Players will need to purchase all 4 crossover bundles to unlock the weapon, and each bundle costs $20, for a total of $80.
You must know that the game base of "Call of Duty 20: Modern Warfare 3" is only sold for 70 dollars. Whether it's worth paying such a price for a weapon item is something that players have to ponder. Immediately after that, the man who mended the knife reappeared. A player who purchased [King Kong Gloves] shared his actual experience, and the core point is one sentence - "Don't buy it!"
"I bought B.E.A.S.T. gloves [King Kong gloves], so you don't have to buy them. The only good thing about this weapon is that it counts as a master blueprint, and it's fun to beat enemies, but it doesn't have any unique features. I thought it would at least knock the enemy's corpses flying. Moreover, it is not yet possible to equip camouflage on it. ”
In fact, it is not the first time that the Call of Duty series and the Godzilla vs. Kong series have collaborated. As early as 2022, the two IPs were closely linked. At that time, players were shocked by the giant creatures that appeared in the game. Only this time, the linkage between the two sides mainly focuses on the content of game props.
Regarding the [King Kong Glove] prop, the core reason for the controversy is mainly in the cost performance. If the weapon itself had a cooler and more useful effect, or if it had been priced to better match its characteristics, it would not have led to such a serious player feedback. In the future, I hope that the official will be able to take this layer into account in the future linkage.
So what do you have to say about it?
