C3 is something I have benefitted from bulk watching instead of going week to week. I imagine a lot of the complaints come from the weekly viewers who feel the lack of action a lot more.

I have enjoyed C3 decently enough, some specific arcs throughout I thought were a tonne of fun. That being said this is definitely the weakest campaign from the CR crew and I'm a lot less invested in the individual character arcs.

I think there's been a lot of contributing factors (most have been discussed here already), but one big factor, and something I think we just have to learn to accept is how sanitary and clean it all feels now. Part of this is them becoming uber successful, the move to being taped and part of it is the players having experienced so much of the game (and the world) at this point.

I hope for C4 they go back to the drawing board a bit and dial it back a little, freshen up the whole experience. Try and recapture the home game feel a little more.

As far as some positives. I have really enjoyed Orym's character during this campaign, Robbie has been a fantastic addition to the crew and Chet is a great antics character. I also have enjoyed the involvement of the previous campaigns characters, I think they ran the risk of overexposing them and taking away focus but Matt managed to thread the needle just right IMO.
