@kenundrum7 @liquidbutter You can't be serious. This story absolutely blows. The characters are boring and the writing is amateur. I love this game, but the story is one of its worst aspects. That's putting level design aside, just the narrative, characters and dialogue are very plain. They aren't painful or annoying, but very bland. The world they've made begs for the commentary about massive electronic surveillance.

No live commentary makes me sad.

"Players will be able to choose from multiple variations on the same character, a first for the series"

what? I'm not much of a Mortal Kombat player but surely a Moral Kombat game at some point allowed you to pick a different outfit or colour.

@c_teb Probably more Elder Scrolls because apparently the market for medieval games isn't saturated enough yet.

@Hjindee +1 for Cyberpunk 2077. Witcher just another medieval game saturating the market.

@bullet_dud @neur0sis I can't agree more. The live commentary was amazing and made those conferences so much more memorable. Sadly they won't be doing it because some trоlls in the chat last year kept telling them to shut up (even though there was a second livestream without commentary)

@DigitalDame I love how you ask for questions and none of them get on the show.

@catsmeat_baby I ask the same thing every time I see an Eddie Makuch article.

Q

What are the odds of Activision dragging Kevin Spacey to E3 to hype Call of Duty? If so, will he use the "as a gamer myself" line?

I think most people would agree this game would have been hugely improved if the story actually focused on the huge surveillance system and how connected everything is. Does it make society safer or not, the history of ctOS, how ctOS works, if it makes everyone honest or just reinforces antisocial behaviour. Those were the things I was hoping would be explored when I first heard about this game, but those aspects are only addressed indirectly and there's no substantive narrative about it.
