Round 1 Bloodborne vs. Call of Duty: Black Ops

Moltars Analysis

At the start of the decade, GameFAQs was kind of into shooters like Halo and Call of Duty. Now? lol

Bloodborne has decent strength, and I expect it to either hold up or have gotten stronger since 2015 since it has remained in the public eye since then. With the decline of CoD on this website (I mean Halo: Reach is around Life is Strange in strength if you want some sort of comparison), Bloodborne should win this match handily.


Multiplayer gaming has gone up in smoke on this site. This is supported by the following polls:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/3332-
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5280-

In the first poll, "None, I prefer playing alone" went from 22.02% in 2008 to 57.05% in 2019 by looking at the overall history of that poll.

In the second poll, "Single player, I rarely if ever play with others" went from 30.96% in 2013 to 46.38% in 2020. At the same time, "It's around half of each" went from 21.73% in 2013 to 14.02% in 2020.

Call of Duty's fall from grace on this site is directly tied to multiplayer gaming going up in smoke, since the appeal of CoD is the multiplayer gaming. People play CoD for the multiplayer.

As for why multiplayer gaming went up in smoke on this site - I think this is a product of the increasing average age of this site's users. When much of this site's users is now over 30 and have full time jobs or are now focusing on raising kids, it's much harder to find time to play games online with other people. A combination of full time jobs, raising kids, or doing outdoor activities has made it difficult to arrange an optimal time for playing games with other people. Like, if you tried to set a specific date/time to play a specific game online, you'll find some people who can play at that time, but lots of others who will be busy doing other things.
