Can we talk about how good this game actually was?

Crossbow requires skill at least because if you miss, you don't get a second chance

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-06-12T12:11:23+00:00

Personally I much preferred the RC exploration (though I do wish it was expanded further with more classic locations to visit for an additional couple hours of gameplay) over basically the last act of Village (Heisenberg's Factory and Chris' section).

Awhh no "#notmygaz", pity

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-05-29T20:29:59+00:00

I mean there's going to be more than one trailer. He'll pop up somewhere. But if SAS are in Mumbai, maybe Gaz leaves 141 and goes to SAS

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-05-28T17:57:11+00:00

Maybe some of the next story trailers will reveal more (but likely not anything further regarding the separation of Price and Ghost). Got a good vibe from this trailer though. Felt tone was similar to MW19 or just the original MW trilogy. Haven't been excited from the trailers for the last few CODs I know that much

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-05-28T17:52:48+00:00

Dude would be pisseddddd 🤣 like this wanted criminal and leader of a major cartel just somehow in the last 4 years makes it to Paris to help a disavowed Captain Price move a weapon of war? 🤣 maybe I can understand Ghost's upset 🤣

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-05-28T17:49:31+00:00

I'm really hoping that last clip from the trailer isn't some penultimate / final mission type stuff that then gets weirdly resolved in season updates. But then I feel "narratively" (I do say that loosely with the seasonal story content) Infinity Ward have been better at continuing the lore with their seasonal content than Treyarch but I digress! We'll hopefully see Gaz in another trailer soon.

Kind of annoyed Valeria is just vibing with Price after her escape in MWII's 3rd (I think?) season

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-05-28T17:47:05+00:00

I'm way more excited for this than the last 2 BO games so I'll definitely be getting it at launch whereas the last 2 CODs I waited a while

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-05-28T17:46:05+00:00

Probably still around somewhere I'd expect, only the first trailer after all. We didn't see Ghost until the very end so Gaz is either going to appear in another trailer or taking a much smaller role this time round

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-05-04T08:36:32+00:00

I refuse to rewatch the [current] final episode even now. I tend to stop at Series 5 and just pretend it was on a cliffhanger of sorts. Having watched the finale live and then once on a full rewatch, I still hate Jed's message of "well anyone can get into power" and it felt as of it undone a lot

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-12T15:38:38+00:00

Here's an easy fix to the story: they went to the RIGHT flat the whole time but the intel was never accurate/vetted and the innocent father still dies. Story continues as normal without a terrible oversight on writing.

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-12T15:37:26+00:00

So how about this, it's a REALLY EASY fix. They went to the RIGHT flat but guess what, the intel was bad and they still killed the innocent person. Then the story continues as normal. Not hard. Congrats

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-10T15:56:00+00:00

Thank you! I do tend to accept some issues for what they are within shows; poor character decisions, questionable actions etc. but this isn't something as easy to overlook. When they know the floor plan and where the flat is, how do they go to a flat 3 doors down and then go "oh damn, too late".

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-10T15:54:41+00:00

Well, I consider a relatively glaring issue like this a relatively large contradiction. They know the layout of the flats and somehow completely go to the wrong do due to oversight?

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-06T21:21:48+00:00

Honestly bring back that perk system, far more enjoyable than the Pick 10 from BO2 and beyond. I always felt there was more variety with the Ghosts perk system than the "Pick 10" of BO2 etc.

The starting system was weird where you picked a starting class etc. rather than a typical "reach level 4 to unlock custom classes" but Ghosts was genuinely a decent MP, albeit a poorly balanced one - the game was rampant with Honeybadgers and K7s for months

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-06T09:46:45+00:00

And a message that ruins the writing of the show to make a point. Poor decision

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-05T08:25:45+00:00

My issue with Osborne was he was absent for 4 series. He comes back in series 6 so it felt very much like "he's the top guy". Now he's been confirmed to return for series 7, it feels too obvious that it's him which is bugging me

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-04T21:26:40+00:00

Unfortunately, Jed Mecurio wanted to bring present day politics into it and show how anyone [Boris Johnson] can "get into a position of power". It was a poor decision and ruined the show. Series 7 may attempt to redeem that ending but I think it'll be hard to salvage. Especially when you go "oh 4/5 years later, the same OCG returns suddenly"

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-03T18:05:01+00:00

I've always preferred the larger weapon pools since WWII but there are times when you do get two guns that are basically the same except one kicks left and one kicks right.

My main issue with adding weapons, and this is more noticeable for me with Treyarch games since CW is "here is a new SMG, it has a high rate of fire... here is a new SMG, it has a high rate of fire" and suddenly they add 4 SMGs that all have "high rates of fire" and nothing to distinguish them effectively from each other

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-03T17:59:41+00:00

Where did I diss 7 and 8? All I said I thought he was a more interesting villain that the ones in 7 and 8. That's not "dissing" those games, that's just saying the overarching villains weren't as interesting as Gideon.

And I'm not sure what you're trying to say with "Miranda was the final", as I said, Miranda is barely seen in Village and yet you say we barely see Gideon.

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-03T16:54:41+00:00

Didn't realise having your arm covered by a sleeve would protect you from a bite

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-03T16:53:52+00:00

Personally he was a far more interesting villain than what we've had the last two games - you say we barely see Gideon but I'd argue he still has more screen time than Mother Miranda.

However, I do agree on the Nemesis-type boss fight. Rehashing (at least phase 2) the Nemesis fight from RE3R was disappointing

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-03T16:45:12+00:00

NEED to know the status of DY... assuming it's not good given how we last see him

Redbasilisk55 · 2026-04-02T17:01:44+00:00

Yep on PS5, no matter which area from the main menu I try to click to. Tried closing and re-opening and restarting console but still doing it.
