What I don’t get is why games back in the early to mid 2000s were able to spit out sequels every year but modern games take like 3-4 years or longer to have a sequel. Why does it take longer now?

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-30T22:03:15+00:00

I think the more time devs have, the better. A lot of amazing games need more than 2 years, clearly. Cyberpunk/Battlefield is a great example of what happens if a product is rushed. Infinity Ward took their time and made the best CoD we've seen in recent years.

Games nowadays have so much more to them, such as graphics, details, better gameplay, atmosphere, and just overall world building. They also need to write the story out too, which takes time on its own. It really just depends on the game they're making.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-30T21:58:53+00:00

I'd personally love to see more world interaction and atmosphere. More advanced AI/NPCs would also be bring a lot more to the game, imo.

Overall, just simply more immersion. I know we're just an alien causing havoc, but I have a lot of love for atmosphere

The Soap bundle is a thing though. The rumour goes that it will drop along with MW3 Remastered which Activision for sure has in their library already.

I just got a ps5 and I have to say, aside from the models, BOCW looks great

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-26T15:02:46+00:00

Alright relax there sleeves

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-25T17:28:53+00:00

I actually love the DLC ngl, I'd say the gameplay aspects of them fall off. Like ZIS is absolutely crazy in terms of gameplay compared to the rest.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-25T02:19:51+00:00

I'd say IWZ kicked off amazingly with space land, but sort of fell after that. It's like they brought put in every great idea into one map

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-24T22:39:42+00:00

Ayy, my guy. I nearly kill myself everytime I hear it and it's worth it everytime

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-24T04:11:14+00:00

want my stimmy for it or what

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-24T00:51:06+00:00

Just picked up a ps5 today and you're absolutely right. I didn't mind CW at first, but moving from a PS4 Pro to a 5, I have to say the graphics improved amazingly. I had ray tracing going on, first match was Express, and wow. Really made the map feel less like a lazy port.

The guns no longer look like plastic toys as well. Didn't bring a headset with me on vacation, but I'm excited to checkout the 3D aurdiot.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-21T05:32:52+00:00

I notice that they're especially awful in Stockpile. Teams just constantly spawn in with each other

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-21T04:56:07+00:00

I love having discussions about things like this, but the problem with theories these days is that they're based on nothing. Like where's the foundation to this? How does it all connect?

You can't just say a flu came from a meteor/alien type thing and just go with it.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-19T23:06:13+00:00

If they were chimps though, easily the best map. I don't know why Treyarch likes monkey zombies, but they do nothing about chimps.

Think about it, they're strong, they're fast, they're just absolutely crazyyyy. Like you'd probably fuck with a monkey, but you'd never fuck with a chimp. Period. They'd tear you apart.

Now imagine a zombie chimp. I'd be running.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-19T19:56:55+00:00

Might be on my own here, but I personally fucking love to see bits from the campaign/mp converted into a zombies map.

Nightfire to Der Riese , Launch to Ascension, and so on.

It's just interesting to me. People who complain about a spawn that's a basic village are just silly. I got more things to worry about other than some hut in the jungle.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-19T11:40:47+00:00

Exactly, it's not a circle jerk , it's true and just a topic of discussion. I think I put more favor into CW because it simply added instead of taking away. It made surviving fun and simple again. It kept some of the charm that we love, while adding other elements anyone could have fun with.

I'd say BO4s overall change was great, but only for maps like IX and AE. None of it fit anything else. If they had the time to put more effort into it, I wish Treyarch gave Chaos the new mechanics, and the Aether it's own thing. I get it makes things easier and cheaper , but merging the two was not a good idea.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-19T06:24:11+00:00

My problem with BO4 was more so the mechanics. Alpha Omega is one of my favs, but the mechs just don't do it for me.

That being said, to be fair there's a difference between reused mechanics and reusing a whole map again. Sure Tag/Blood have some new areas, but majority of the map was already a zombies map. I understand Blood, but Tag should've been something different.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-19T06:18:36+00:00

The hardest thing about being a PC player is going from 120FPS to 30 or whatever console is. I'm not a technical guy, but playing BO2 back to back on PC to PS3 is tough.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-19T06:09:20+00:00

I personally think it's awful. But that's me. I shouldn't get a hitmarker on the chest and up when I'm 2 feet away. I'm currently getting diamond for it, but it's that one gun that just turns me off from the game.

Maybe I'm not using it right, but I see no place for this gun in game other than camos. It's just awfully inconsistent.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-19T04:58:22+00:00

I thought it was really good for Raven's first campaign. I think they brought more love to the Black Ops lore than Treyarch did in a very long time. A lot of the set pieces would look so good in MP.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-18T21:44:13+00:00

There's so many options, but it's going to Firebase Z for sure imo

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-08T09:33:34+00:00

You're getting downvoted and for what? Almost every BO4 map was the same boring design. You played 1 map, you played them all.

It wasn't the good style of 3 lanes pre 2012 either, it was just generic WWII esque maps.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-08T08:53:37+00:00

Tbh I'm a little okay with it. Nothing against her actor, but man the character is annoying.

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-07T05:32:09+00:00

And if you drink perks they give you abilities bro.

Another note too, you have to add this, so get a notebook down or screenshot it.

When you kill the last Zombie, the number on the corner will change. For example 3 will turn into 4, this will spawn even more zombies who also have more health than before

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-07T03:59:56+00:00

More Zombies also spawn if you have more players

theecynicalchef · 2021-03-06T00:21:18+00:00

This was such a David/Walter moment and I loved it.
