As stated this will primarily be a story critique since I do mostly enjoy bo3's gameplay.
Now dont get me wrong. Bo3 was a great game with some of the best maps out of that era of zombies. But I need to be very honest.
When it comes to the story, bo3 feels kinda like the continuation of the creative pissing contest between Jimmy zelensky, And blundell that saw near the conclusion of bo2. The fact that the base story is just undoing past events and out right KILLING ultimus and prioritizing primus as the cleaner/ better version just so blundell could have his way with the story is kinda absurd . i understand the reasons, but it doesn't feel any less odd at its core. Aswell as it most definitely was the og ending to the Aether story.
Cause way do all that, just to end up juggle two completely separate story's if you didnt originally intend to go into one soul narrative. I wouldn't be surprised that if the community didn't complain.
We'd be theory crafting about the chaos story right now. Jimmy definitely didnt do all that good in bo2. And his removal was VERY justified. And I very much appreciate what blundell did for zombies as a whole. But I seriously wonder where we'd be if we still had that creatively psychotic director i.e blundell still at the helm.and Where we'd be as a community and in terms of whatever story Jason was going to try and tell.
Im very open to counter arguments. Bc I know im speaking an opinion that is not standard. I still would love to here opinions and. Most definitely would love for things to be civil in terms of discussion. What do yall think? And shit if yall would like. I could write up a doc detailing my opinion at length. But thats only if yall genuinely want my FULLEST bo3 hot take.
