Right now I’m working on my first major story analysis for the blog, and it’s about Black Ops 2.
I
never thought that, of all game stories out there, the first mainstream
one I’d be examining would be a Call of Duty sequel, but there you have
it.
I
stopped being excited about CoD games more or less after the first
Modern Warfare (CoD4). I don’t mean that as a critique of the series’
quality; more that they simply came out too quickly - and remained too
expensive - for me to think about buying them. However, since getting a
PS3 I’d been toying with the idea of playing a big budget shooter on
it.
I
usually play shooters on PC, you see, and for me it’s really the
optimal way to experience them. Nevertheless, the thought of experiencing one on a console intrigued me enough to want to try it out. Then Black Ops 2 came out
and I decided to give it a go. After playing it through I have to say
that, while the PC still wins in terms of control and comfort, the PS3
experience wasn’t half bad.
So
I finished the campaign and now I’m mulling it over, trying to organize
the typhoon that is my thought process. When that’s done I’ll post my
conclusions.
For now, here's a trailer:
