    Let's talk about how Alpha Omega CRUSHED all hope in Treyarch?! The Black Ops 4 life cycle was a wild ride and the Chaos Story was getting all the love and support, leaving the 10 year long Aether story finale to be left in the dust. Were the reimagining's intentional? We will never know. But despite the developers missteps regarding the content offering of Black Ops 4 Zombies, did Alpha Omega really deserve all the disdain it received on its launch day?

    It does feel like we skipped a whole map because we kept seeing hints of the crew standing outside Monty's house. And also in the ending cutscene, Samantha even says "We are going back to the house and kill him"
    So sad that we didn't get to see that happening. It feels like that stuff was happening off-screen between Alpha omega and Tag der toten

      @@SkeptixPrdxnTreyarch had absolutely no business starting a brand new story giving fully rendered intros and outros and then half assing the aether ending with cartoon intro and outros then blaming Activision, They had three years to make the game what were they doing in the studio passing the blunt and throwing a basketball around? Shouldve just cancelled the entire game if they werent going to try. The ending for this story is a disgrace and Chaos has no business in zombies im happy it got cancelled. They have disappointed the entire fanbase to this day.

The Avagadro, Broken Arrow, Ray Gun Mark 2, the robots (like the tranzit bus driver), was introduced with Victis. I don’t know it just feels they would have been a better fit in Alpha Omega rather than Tag der Toten

      because, imo, treyarch knew sticking half of the Aether finale alongside half of the opening to Chaos was shooting both in the leg so they used as much nostalgia bait as humanly possible to keep the playerbase invested.

    • @CactusInsane
      @CactusInsane 3 месяца назад +1

      That was the original idea, NukeTown was gonna be part of Zombies Chronicles 2. CHAOS was supposed to be the main storyline, and Classified was going to be a one-off and tribute map. CHAOS would've ended with Blood of Dead and them waking up Vitcis to start their new journey, which would've been Zombies Chronicles 2. Clearly the budget cuts and the fact that Treyarch had to abandon BO4 and Activision Shanghai had to finish BO4. Even though in the end, Treyarch stole half of their staff to help them fix Cold War's tech issues when they were working on Tag.

      It’s not that it wasn’t what we wanted, it just wasn’t necessary. You could remove it from bo4 and have us go from classified to tag and nothing would change. What do we actually do in alpha one? Get the elemental shard? That was a McGuffin that came out of nowhere. They could just as easily put it in tag and it wouldn’t make a difference. Peter McCain? He gets the “gersh treatment “ only difference is this time we won’t ever see what becomes of him. He served no purpose for the story. Avogadro? It was a nice way to explain what and who he was but again, was not necessary and we could’ve skipped over him.

      It was also the fact that it was the third map of the game to just be a remake of an already existring map, also that the whole of it narratively feels like a mcguffin sprung out of nowhere, they did the same thing in cold war only introducing two pieces of foreshadowing to vanguard in the last map, what I mean to say is, we got a clear retcon cause activision thought they knew better.

    I don't hate this map at all, this is a very decent map but whenever i do play it i feel this feeling, it is like a certain depression/sadness the atmosphere gives. The broken village which is filled with mannequins makes this map suprisingly scary. This map was just not suposed to be released as the last map we saw our crews. But like i said this map just makes me feel empty inside and this isnt a problem i have irl its just this map gives me the most depressing vibe, same with tag der toten but that map has beautifull sun which gives me some warmth inside. Still this map is overhated but not underrated.

    I have to disagree with the Mk2 variants. Specifically the one that requires Wraiths. Same issue with the Winter's Howl. The fact that you need to bring out of map equipment to access them is not great. Other than that, I loved the balance of pros and cons in this video!

    • @SkeptixPrdxn
      @SkeptixPrdxn  11 месяцев назад +9

      That’s a fair point. Most people bring wraiths so I think it’s okay just bc of behavior patterns. But you shouldn’t “have” too. There should be alternatives. I wonder if there are. Has anyone ever explored it? 🤔
      I genuinely have never thought about using anything else.
      There should always be variety to complete things so you have full control. 100% agree.

      I wouldn’t say revelations “tied up the story well” lol
      Bo3’s story as a whole was sort of a fanfic-y mess and revelations was a lazy, rushed ending that got a ton of backlash.
      By the time of bo4, the zombies storyline became a mess of self-references, retcons and rewriting stuff from the JimmyZ era.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@LateNightHaloIt did not receive “a ton of backlash”. Most people thought it was okay. Fans deeply invested into the story felt like there were still unanswered questions. Which lead to a disappointing feeling. That doesn’t change the fact the story could have ended there and it would be a better conclusion to what we ended up getting. Origins ending had significantly more backlash when it first came out as people didn’t like the “it’s all imagination” implications.

    Hey, I love your videos, the quality really is striking ! I'm wondering what software and bitrate you record your clips at because despite RUclips's horrendous compression your videos are still so clear and crisp it's impressing ! What's your secret ? x))

    • @SkeptixPrdxn
      @SkeptixPrdxn  8 месяцев назад +1

      I don't do a whole lot. But I use Nvidia Geforce now to record on PC if I can because I don't like OBS. But if I do use OBS I record at a bitrate between 60-75000 kbps. I then take the video into premiere and color correct it. And exporting/uploading your videos in 4k will help your bitrate/compression on RUclips. My recordings are in 4K, but you can still export a 1080p video at 4K and it will help out the quality (or so I have been told).
      Feel free to ask me any questions about this stuff if you want. Probably better to message me on twitter or discord or something.

    • @Miaalabeille
      @Miaalabeille 8 месяцев назад

      @SkeptixPrdxn hmm yes I see thanks, yeah I do the same except I record with the AMD equivalent (ReLive, allows you to record the last 90 seconds of gameplay just by pressing a key) at 60Mbps. But even in 1440p (the native resolution of my clips) some still don't look good somehow.. what format do you use to export your videos ? What type and with what encoder ?
      I know the absolute best quality you can get is with Apple ProRes 422 or 442, but it's so lossless that even a 50 second 1440p video will literally be 10gb in size so a 10min video will be 350gb xD. So I have to rely on some regular AVC renders that are okay at best

If you memorize half of what’s supposed to be up then you can just go to the other locations you know have switches down and make sure those are switched down regardless bc you did the others that are SUPPOSED to be up.

    It's honestly insane that there are still people in this world who think tranzit's PAP is worse than the PAP system on this map saying in tranzit you'd realistically only have to open it one time whereas on this map how many times do you have to clear vents to fully upgrade 2-3 guns multiple times not to mention the amount of AAT re-rolling that is needed on this map.
    With tranzit the main issue everyone has is resolved if the player has the foresight to grab a fresh turbine before going to open it (and realizing the AOE is large enough to power the door without needing to drop down)
    Tranzit PAP will never close on a player so long as someone is inside it however on AO the PAP stays open for TEN MINUTES before a vent gets clogged, not to mention as well that if left ignored, multiple vents will get clogged meaning they need to all be unclogged while the game spawns in buffed up super sprinters while you're holding square on some valves that almost force you to pop the specialist or wraith fires every single time. It is actually one of the most un-fun experiences in all of cod zombies and that's coming from someone who enjoys tranzit and regularly still plays non treyarch iterations of zombies.

I dont remember the name...Alistairs something? BUt yo, that gun was the funnest gun in all of zombies for me. It shot different elemental blasts that did different things, like freeze or tornado. And the easter egg was so fun to figure out up until the Atlas step, which is probably the only thing you need to look up for that easter egg. The boss was so fun too, and you can either go for high rounds and train in the main room of the mansion, or do the easter egg and get a satisfying ending/closure. I really enjoyed Bo4 zombies, but i definitely understand why people were so divided about it.

    I appreciate the fact that you brought up behind the scenes aspects of BO4, mainly Activision screwing over Treyarch and its devs throughout that game and in future titles. It burns me that the majority of the zombies community are quick to shit on the devs with little thought over who are the actual ones at fault. Sadly i feel Activision will continue to get away with their greedy practices and general incompetence because they face little to no blame or repercussions since all of the heat goes to the overworked dev teams.

There comes a point where it stops being given a shitty hand that deserves pity to being accepting of the shit and never doing anything about it, if treyarc had a backbone they could unionize, they could demand more time particularly with the hell that was the rework they had to do for blackout, put a foot down to say "no we are finishing BO4 we cant take over Slegehammer's and Raven's fuck up".

I know they were kinda forced but it just feels so strange that they took those choices.

    Another negative is the complete removal of the fan favorite gameplay mechanics. They had the perfect formula in Bo3 with the gameplay mechanics, 3 hit down, perk system, gobblegums, etc.
