Call of Duty Black OPS 6 the WORST game in the franchise

Just my honest NO BS Review of Call of Duty Black OPS 6 for the PS5

[@Noodle3058]

I have to say I completely disagree. I think the way they switch things up and keep things fresh is great, it has it's great shootout moments with the missions in Iraq, or the 3 Checkmate missions at the end. it has spooky moments in Emergence and Separation Anxiety. The stealth is fun but also, crutially, almost entirely optional. From memory, the only forced stealth moments are at the start of the Casino and Clinton missions. Other than that, you can shoot your way through the early assassination mission, the Vorkuta section and even some parts of the two missions I said earlier. I think it's totally fine that you didn't enjoy it, I just think some of your arguments are pretty flat

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Thanks for watching. I can respect your thoughts and glad you think it's fresh. I'm just curious why the zombie segment which sucked. Fighting that invisible demon thing that would take the shape of a chair or garbage can? Come on that's a reach and stretching it. The end segments felt like they stole elements from returnal playing through her head and house segments. The spooky elements and jump scares don't belong in a military shooter. This game should be about war not fighting through hallucinating from gas. What happened in the original MW3 when the Russians blew up the gas truck? You had even more reason to go kill the bad guys. I think if they stick with the basic plot that the cia rat gave a bio weapon to a terrorist organization and they were going to nuke the capital and fram suddam huessin however you spell it would have been great without all the extra elements of the game going in many different directions. The mission at the end where you setup the rockets and satellite dish to go off is fine but was not needed. The vortuka mission where you are actually fighting should have been done better as that's where the series really started. Thanks for watching and hopefully this explains my flat arguments that I wasn't trying to spoil in my video review

​@@LameDadRetroGamerI think youre forgetting youre playing a treyarch cod and not an infinity ward cod. Treyarch cods are not grounded and war focused like for ex mw19 or mw2 2022 or the original mw's 1-3. you say those elements dont belong in a war shooter but youre just extrapolating when cod black ops 1 had the entire main plot being about a cia agent getting brainwashed twice and the entire game doing hallucinations and jump scares. black ops cold war main plot is litterally a cia mk ultra experiment gone wrong. bo6 is not even nowhere a reach in regards to its main protagnist having these hallucinations of sorts as explicitly stated in the ending of emergence that he was having a seizure so literally anything is free game there fore no gameplay elements cant be restricted since everything about that mission was a figment of his imagination. Also World at war had a direct ending lead to the beginning of zombies as well. Your arguments really fall flat since they have zero legs to support it. treyarch always made outlandish campaigns. Its fine to dislike it but for the reasons you stated it seems as you were hoping to play a completely different game. this undermines your entire video in my opinion since you could just replay the older cods or recent entries that are exceptional and really grounded focused narrative. Also black ops 2 has you playing from different perspectives of multiple characters, two different timelines spanning decades apart with a multiple choice ending based on decisions made in previous missions. this alone disproves your this doesnt belong in a militaru shooter. since youre complaining about a thing that was never there with treyarch cods.

@miguelhxrnandez thanks for watching

[@Heaaaps]

Cant say I agree with this lad. I thoroughly enjoyed tbe variation in the campaign. Zombies as a component has been a staple of blops for the entirety of the franchise. I liked how they integrated it into the chemical warfare that the villain intended to unleash. Its a small enough segment too. As for the multi. Having fun with it for the first time in years in all honesty. The last two cods were god awful imo

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

The campaign did offer a lot of variation but I didn't find it to be very intriguing. Again just my thoughts. The stealth elements I thought were fun but it seemed like you would get caught way too quickly and then the scud middle destroying mission I hated how they put this big map together to gather all this intel which in fairness you didn't have to as I didn't. But the zombie level just pushed it over the top. I have the original black ops review coming out next week and whole yes blops as always had the zombies I don't ever remember them being in any of the campaigns. And the whole grabbing the key card from the zombie demon that kept disappearing was just enough to piss me off and make me want to quit. I wish they would have handled the chemical scene similar to the original mw3 when they blew up the chemical truck. At its core if they would have stuck to the premise of a rat in the cia giving out info to the terror organization and giving them nukes and sticking to they plan to drop it on the capital and frame saddam now let's go kill bad guys I would have appreciated that. Maybe I'm just too old school and want my call of duty to be guns blazing as realistic of a military shooter as they can make. I did like the gameplay of multiplayer but all the skins and operator looks and designs feels like it was made for people 25 years younger then me. I'm glad you like it and are enjoying it. At the end of the day I can respect your opinion as it's different and that's all good.

[@Heaaaps]

@@LameDadRetroGamer that's what it's all about. Difference of opinion 👌

[@GameCubeGalaxy]

LMFAOOOOO at the “identity crisis” analogy for the campaign 🤣🤣🤣! But seriously, as I watched this review, I started forgetting what game I was watching a review for…because this looks nothing like a COD style campaign, in what seems like a negative way. Infinite Warfare was the most divisive one in terms of how “different” the style was, but that at least “felt” like COD overall and surprised me as one of my favorites! The fact you said Ghosts was better…jeez man, that’s awful, cause that campaign stunk lol. Appreciate the honest review man!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Yea the footage of the game basically takes you through the entire story start to finish and you can see how it just gets off the rails. Yea I'm almost sorry I crapped so hard on ghosts as it's seriously a better game then this one. I would really like to see the sales numbers for the physical games. With this being on game pass everyone keeps telling me to play it there so it's easy for Activision to claim it as the most played cod ever because it's free on Xbox if you have game pass lol. Stay away man it's not worth it

[@TigerChainsawVideoGames]

Nuketown was always a favorite of Cherry's and mine too. Lol hey now, I liked Ghosts. There it is haha, 2:57 4:17 yeah this looks like complete garbage. This is not COD. Good point about the lack of competition in this department. 6:33 I spy Bill Clinton. The footage is so terrible, I would never in a million years guess that this is a COD game. Good to see the saw back and for good use.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

I thought you'd like that comment. Nuketown was great and I talk more about it in a upcoming video. Yea it's a rough game. Yea we need more medal of honors and battlefields and socom games to help drive them to make good games again. Yea wasn't too excited about destroying a brand new 70 game but hey it's not the first time I've done it. Thanks for watching

[@RHSavage12]

I personally enjoyed the campaign for the most part. I just feel like the villain didnt allow us the time to get to know them besides the final mission so there wasnt really a reason to care about them being the big bad.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

@@RHSavage12 I think if they would have focused just on a cia rat gave the pantheon a bio weapon, they are going to use it on the capital and frame sadaam, it would have worked. But the way they chose to implementation so many different styles of missions and gameplay. It's like the game didn't know what it wanted to do. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed but it's just not for me and not one if recommend

[@xevoprime5273]

There is no way this is the worst game in the series. I agree not everyone has to like this game, but there is literally no way Bo6 is worse than last years Mw3. I mean, cmon.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

To be fair I only review games that I complete. That's doesn't mean platinum or unlock everything but I only review a game that I see the credits roll. I say that to say yes MW3 sucked and I honestly gave up after maybe 2 hours in. Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the ending

[@royalparrotgamerspc]

I disagree , its a top 10 cod for me but i still respect your opinion

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm glad to see people are enjoying it but there's also reviews by mainstream media that are paid for and don't tell the whole story sometimes. I think if they would have stuck with the very basic plot and done without the last few missions being in her head and the zombie level id have a different opinion.

[@Godzilla1001-nt9vd]

Well it's still a way better game than Battlefield 2042.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Yea I stopped playing Battlefield after BF1 as it got old and kinda stale. I much prefer the gameplay and elements of BF3

[@Godzilla1001-nt9vd]

@@LameDadRetroGamer I agree with you on that.

[@Tomofdahook17]

Hey man, great review. Idk wtf the I am looking at here, it’s so pathetic that they put these zombies in the campaign. The single player is supposed to be a grounded military arcade shooter. The campaigns were historically the last place that CoD still had some decent military theming once their multiplayers lost all sense of authenticity. Sledgehammer and Treyarch don’t really make good games anymore unfortunately. The best CoD campaign I’ve player over the past several years was Infinite Warfare, somehow the one with the silliest setting has the most realistic military experience. It’s such a joke. So because of that I’m really interested to see what Infinity Ward does next time around.

[@KriyenKP]

He was under the influence of poison gas? It was a hallucination... It wasn't "part of the campaign" Black ops has always had mind games, this is just another one. Same as how you were a brainwashed villain in the last game and how Reznov was just your imagination the whole time.

[@Tomofdahook17]

@ Brainwashed to see a man with tentacles coming out of his head? LMAO! No thank you. CoD is supposed to be about war. Sometimes it’s direct warfare, sometimes it’s unseen warfare, it’s not about zombies and tentacle men. It’s just sad to see how far this franchise has fallen.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Thanks for watching. I agree the campaign should be completely grounded with a military shooter. It should be warfare not crazy zombies or a game with horror elements like jump scares and segments that leave you feeling like you were playing Returnal. A very disappointing campaign as I liked vanguard and cold war. Yea the clips in the game footage it just gets worse and worse

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Agreed the black ops campaigns have always had twists like that but what happened in the original MW3 when the Russians blew up the truck with the biological gas, it wasn't a zombie shooter at that point you just had even more reason to kill the bad guy. But in bo6 what were they trying to do with the last few levels? Make a horror game with the jump scare ls and mannequins? Were they going for returnal elements looking through her head to find the mirror pieces? This isn't a grounded military shooter. But thanks for watching

[@KriyenKP]

@@LameDadRetroGamer Zombies were in Cold war as well when you took a wrong turn in the brainwash dream world and landed up underground. It's not like it's a driving force in the game. It's just providing alternative gameplay to try and be original. I get you want a grounded military shooter, I do too. But I didn't think the campaign was as bad as you guys make it out to be. They tried to target more the psychological side of intelligence agencies over just piling up bodies. By definition "call of duty" is just a responsibility to a cause. It WAS founded on world war 2, but there isn't anything wrong with them trying to diversify. Most of their money comes from Multiplayer anyway.

[@efrainrodriguez8973]

Well sucks u didnt enjoy it Been playing this day in and day out tbh Mp im ass at but the campaign and zombies have been a lot of fun and very refreshing Past four years have been boring asf and this games campaign and zombies story has been very interesting

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

It's all good. I'm glad you're enjoying it. Honestly part of my issue with the game is recently went back and beat the first blops to review on my channel and going immediately from that into blops6 just was jarring. I was enjoying the MP but I just want a more traditional war game.

[@JimMorrisonsBathtub]

It's a damn shame the game's so bad. I like the idea of blasting bad guys so much that I joined the army and went infantry to do it in real life (then found out afterwards that they mostly stopped sending guys into combat when I was about 14) so first person shooters could be some of my favorite video games but most of the ones I've played were boring. At least this one is good food for your miter saw.

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

This is one of the best comments I've received lol. Sorry to hear you couldn't blast guys. I wish I could have gone back and joined the Marines to do something similar back in 2006. Yea this game sucks not a worthy first person shooter. I hated destroying a brand new $70 game but hey that's how we do it. Thanks for watching my guy

[@DanofWar101]

Finally the ending I've been looking forward to in a long time lol! There's another option for those who are curious to try it without spending a ton of money, which is Gamepass! I have to admit that even I found the trailer really good and I'm not a fan of COD at all! In case you didn't know, EA are working on a new Battlefield game. Let's hope it will bring something good so that we can see that healthy competition again! Also I wouldn't mind a new Medal of Honor! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@LameDadRetroGamer]

Dan the man! I've heard about the game pass access and honestly I would be very interested in seeing the sales of the physical games on all the consoles vs the people just playing on game pass. I did hear recently there was a new BF in the works but wasn't sure how true it was. And agreed I could get down on a new medal of honor. Just a solid wargame would go a long way. Thanks for watching my brother I will catch up on your other comments here shortly
