@MargwaNetwork I want to be mad that they’re just recolors but somehow they manage to be cooler to me then the vast majority of skins they’ve released😭
@Melt_Simp This is actually how it worked for me😭 first time i played i got to Kaneshiro and got egregiously bored, picked it up again and didn’t stop until i got 100% and over 300 hours on the game, one of my favorites of all time for me
@KeezTheFlex@CloudGougers "this is my problem with Rom hacks" it's PAINFULLY obvious you haven't seen a single Romhack past like 2016, anything Kanto is the one that gets the most "difficulty hacks" but Rom hacking is in a renaissance and i have three docs full of alternate region fangames
@letsgetcanceled the expectation is what killed me, if you reveal the ending beforehand you have to either, A make the JOURNEY worth it, or B do a twist/recontextualization that makes the new journey stand on its own...it did neither, it literally just made bo7 a fucking side story to a spinoff😭
@deejontime@SmackBarmlul@CodeNamePizza I genuinely can not believe that this is the bar now, wow. yeah, it's my fault for expecting anything above a 4/10. also acting like it has to be one or the other is ludicrous, I'm simply saying we deserve an ending where we can say something more positive than "its an ending"
@deejontime@SmackBarmlul@CodeNamePizza the ONLY WAY an ending like this is satisfying is if it pays off in the end, rewards you for following the story, and or recontextualizes the ending we already knew in a meaningful way. It does non of this and instead just recaps MWZ
@deejontime@SmackBarmlul@CodeNamePizza thats bad. believe it or not, when you spoil the entire ending to a journey you kind of have to do more then 5 mcguffin quests that consist of cutscenes where characters stand around and say "we need to grab this!" ending in a shallow way that tells us what we already knew
@SmackBarmlul@CodeNamePizza there was literally no added context or narrative payoff in the slightest. I'm sorry for expecting better writing on treyarchs end, my bad i guess.
@SmackBarmlul@CodeNamePizza What's decent about it? it is the most shallow speech about sacrifice over the most predictable, bland, and poorly presented cutscene in the game yet. There was no emotion, weight, ANYTHING. It's essentially just a recap of what happens in MWZ and Tempus fucking off until bo8😭
@Vondyispog like actually i don't get the fumble, I feel like a fool for assuming any level of confidence in the writing team to surprise me after showing what seemed like an obvious misdirect with the MWZ ending. but no, not even "themes and such" just literally nothing. NOTHING.
@The_Safety_Net “Hey guys, remember MWZ! That!” And I’m just staring at my screen. How the fuck does cold war have unironically still hold the position of the most satisfying and least controversal zombies ending😭 like seriously, NO SUBVERSIONS. Why even spoil the ending in MWZ with no payoff
@ANGELVIS444 Well because once you have 70% of a story its hard to make a theory that flips the script😭 instead you just get people either ignoring evidence or going great lengths to recontextualize things that they are obviously misinterpreting in the effort to make a theory
