I used to play black ops 1 a shitload. I was fresh out of highschool and it was my first online game after getting internet. I already liked FPS games and this was interactive FPS with actual skilled people instead of shitty bullet sponge bots.
As for why people love them so much now? I have no idea. I’m sure I also wouldn’t have cared for them if I had played online games earlier in life.
There didn’t used to be microtransactions. And now days there’s so many free options that paying for an annual title that has microtransactions seems a rip off in comparison because of the alternatives. And those alternatives have huge player bases.
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.

I’d much rather have a compelling story nowadays.
People like them now because they are in the same situation you were when you liked them.
