Zero Punctuation season 9 episode 45 features a review of the popular first-person shooter game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. The episode begins with the reviewer, Yahtzee, discussing the game's story mode, which he describes as a convoluted mess. He notes that the story is difficult to follow, with a multitude of characters, and a timeline that jumps back and forth. He also criticizes the game's reliance on cutscenes, saying that they are too long and break up the flow of the gameplay.
Moving on to the game's multiplayer mode, Yahtzee praises the improved movement system, which he says adds a new level of verticality to the gameplay. He notes that the maps are well-designed and suit the new movement system nicely. However, he does express frustration with some of the killstreaks, particularly the ability to spawn in a mini-gun wielding robot that can decimate entire teams.
Yahtzee also discusses the game's Zombies mode, which he describes as "a mixed bag." He notes that the mode can be enjoyable with a group of friends but that the map design leaves a lot to be desired. He says that the mode feels repetitive and that there is not enough variation in the enemies.
Throughout the episode, Yahtzee also comments on the game's graphics and sound design. He notes that the graphics are impressive but that they are let down by the game's inconsistent frame rate. He also praises the game's sound design, saying that the weapons sound satisfying and that the voice acting is well done.
In conclusion, Yahtzee says that Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is a fun game that is well worth playing. However, he notes that the game's story mode is not worth investing time in and that the Zombies mode could use some improvements. He also notes that the game's multiplayer mode is the standout feature and that it is well worth playing for that alone.
Overall, the episode offers an entertaining and informative review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Yahtzee's trademark humor and sharp observations make for an engaging watch, and his insights into the game's various modes and features are sure to be of interest to fans of the series.
