Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Ghosts
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
Huh, I was expecting Battlefield 4 today. Oh well it was pretty entertaining and Ghosts was inevitable anyway.
It's weird that the message is "The only people who can beat America is America" with that laser, they can't be sympathetic when they practically caused their own downfall. The lack of the dog mostly is quite weird too, he was the major selling point. I'm surprised there was no mention of the after credits ending or that awful "Being patriotic means giving your son for your country" line in the hype.
I'm glad to see Black Ops II get some kind of sympathy, if only one line. That 'trailer' of sorts for Jam: The Audiobook was pretty great too.

Brutal, as expected. My brother picked this up a few days ago but I haven't had the chance to give it a try yet.
Also, that ending was possibly creepier than anything even Jim Sterling has done on this site before.

Okay, first off: Yahtzee whispering "JAAAAAAAAAAAM..." into my headphones is something I realized I wasn't prepared for.
Anyway, Yahtzee, did you seriously expected Ghosts to actually feature a weakened US? Everyone pretty much figured from the first trailer that it wasn't going to be any different from the previous one.

Ah Ghost dog, way of the samurai. Good to see i wasn't the only person who watched that film.
Soooo...ummm, i just sort of, accidentally bought Techno kitten adventure. Not sure how that happened

Jim played with a dragon tongue shaped dildo for our amusement.JoJo said:
He also wrote that Miltank poem.
Jim well and truly takes the creepy crown in my book.
Well give COD Ghost credit, its made millions upon millions on first day, still don't know though how it did that, story was... something. in hind sight the was somehow more interesting, but he only lasted about...a hour or so. everything else it tried to listin to the rest, but all i heard was loud noise, and story that made so predictable yet so vague some point. as for the multiply...well it different from Black ops 2 but not much.
why can't cod games change, my god, the dog would have been better than this.

Great Video. A pity Ghost turned out to be even more insubstantial and pathetic than advertised. It did make me wonder... If a paranoid racist idiot dies would the power of his grudge still cause him to haunt the people who actually had nothing to do with his weird obsessions (at least going by horror movie logic)?
Also, that was a fantastic teaser add at the end... That is how it is done

Jam audiobook!
My favourite type of book!
It's like being read a bedtime story in such an adult way! And it's Jam!
I didn't like it when Ghost got killed, because he had a cool balaclava (that's all). I'll miss that cool piece of fashion *sniff*.

I hated the CoDMW2 single player. Only bit I sincerely enjoyed was the Ice Climbing because I was whitting myself. Shame that only happened once. The rest of it was me trying to murder everything and getting annoyed when the game thought I needed help murdering everything.SILENTrampancy said:

I hate to say it.. but, I would play a game called Call of Duty: Narnia... and the multiplayer would have you call out Aslan like he's more OP than you realize...
Also, whenever I do get around to just watching COD:G multiplayer footage, every time someone gets shot, I would whisper the phrase "Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmm"... just to keep the illusion alive and well...

I know Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising was a pretty tedious game but you know what I actually loved? The conflict in it actually makes some sort of sense - America are Assisting Russia (cos...you know...they do actually work alongside NATO) against the Chinese in a conflict that started with a flashpoint engagement over a disputed oil rich island which the Chinese need because their economy collapsed. All this is explained in the opening cinematic and it's not just "dirty (former) commies wanna take over the world so it's up to the 'muricans to save the day" much less "the most powerful country in the world gets invaded by a group of nations that have enough problems sorting out drug cartels and guerilla factions". I mean come on, South America invades the US? If you're going to paint America as the beleaguered heroes at least make the villains a someone who could believably pose a threat, or actually do what you say and make America the actual underdogs rather than just saying it then giving them an inexhaustible well of cutting edge military hardware...and a dog. ORRRR just make it about another country, there are only 195 other ones to choose from.
Does anyone else find that the JAM excerpts were a little slow and, uh, monotone? I'm hoping that the actual audiobook is a little more dramatic.
