      BLACK was always about the joy of firing guns, filling people full of bullet holes, blowing things up, and completely destroying the environment. However, it did everything in a relatively plausibly realistic manner, as opposed to the blatant fantasy world of "Bodycount."

  • @TheAman2008
    @TheAman2008 3 года назад +2

    There is a story to Bodycount, but it's rather vague so you have to read between the lines to notice it. It's implied that your Mission Control that gives you orders throughout the game is in fact a member of the Target, who decided to stop committing bad deeds and turns good, to bring down the organization. The Network doesn't exist, having been destroyed by the Target before the events of the game. Your character is an Unwitting Pawn who was hired by Mission Control under the pretenses of joining "the Network", without realizing that it's just the two of them acting alone.
    The ending implies that the operative takes up the mantle of the Network, and continues the fight against the Target.

    I remember when the demo came out, I played 5 minutes and had to go grab a friend to make him play it as well to make sure I wasn't crazy because of how godawful it played and he confirmed it was indeed terrible.
    And then 10 years later the same thing happened with the Balan Wonderworld demo.
    I'm scared what 2031 has in store for me.

    I adored black on the Xbox original growing up and after getting a PS3 as a tender teen I always avoided buying bodycount on just my gut feeling, Boi I'm glad I saved myself that disappointment.

    I remember renting this and being very meh about it. I feel like a game that really wants to rely on John Woo style “bullets destroy everything in the scene” particle effects should probably be on PC.

Most notably Ragnar Lothbrok, provided he existed. My screenname is a semi anglicized version of King Harald's son's name Eiríkr Blóðøx.

    From the previews, I kinda thought that Bodycount was some form of arcade styled cod single player shooter.
    Mixed with:
    Bulletstorm UI
    Black inspiration
    Battlefield destructive visuals
    F.E.A.R. AI

    This game can deliver some momentary fun mostly because its action packed but very flawed like those kane and lynch games. It's like watching a bad movie with lots of action, this gen had alot of these kind of games.

    If only someone is able to rip the weapon models from Black and port them to games like Garry's Mod, we'll probably get the closest thing to Black on PC. I would love an actual port for Black on PC but I feel like EA might lost the source code for it similar to how they lost the source code for one of the Mass Effect DLC.

  • @vahlok1426
    @vahlok1426 3 года назад +1

    Only thing Black lacks is a blood pumping soundtrack to accompany the action, easily fixed by listening to some of say, Andrew Hulshult's more action focused soundtracks. My choice being his Rise of the Triad 2013 soundtrack.

    Obviously it's annoying in-game when your have this weird obstructive weapon zoom instead of ADS but just looking at it on a video it looks pretty great - The way the weapons are animated, decent models and lighting, neat blur on the back of the gun... I think it's pretty damn sexy.
    Aaaand it's one of the main reasons you shouldn't put visuals above gameplay because while it does look neat I just can't see myself playing this game with aiming done like that. Which is a shame because overall weapon handling from a visual standpoint seems way above standard for the time the game came out.
