It's not actually overlooked. This exact problem is why retail ended up making racials meaningless and eventually making factions meaningless. WoW players myopically and pathologically optimize the game on such a level that they bend it back towards retail WoW 100% of the time. Everyone is now rediscovering for the third fucking time exactly how Retail WoW became what it did...and it is because the players will always play in an adversarial metagaming hyper-optimized manner.
the forced faction balance was preventing people from playing with friends so they did that instead of being forced to play by themselves.
Just an overlooked issue for Blizzard.

Some of you are very insecure about how long it takes you to finish a game. People finishing PBZ in 20-30ish hours are not "fake gamers" that "rushed the game". You just play much slower than they do, likely take longer on bosses than they do, and that is perfectly fine.

Don't want to spoil the story but there's a part late game where I had to drop down a chasm and the game suddenly dropped to 1 FPS until I skipped the cutscenes. Only performance issue I've had in PBZ so far.

20 hours in and I feel the same way. Sorry, Control Resonant but you may have been outplayed here. This game just gets better the deeper you go.
so i played phantom blade 0, nearing 20 hours
let me tell you a few things:
90% of ppl never played metal gear revengeance and it shows
nearly all of their takes are REEK with fraud bullshit so dont listen to them
the game is EASILY my GOTY and i hope to see a sequel or 2!

Haven't seen anyone mention this yet but some of these boss battle tracks in PBZ absolutely SLAP. In chapter 6 right now and this game just gets better and better the deeper you go.

Dude has played one extraction shooter in his life and is out here acting authoritative on the whole genre. I fucking hate Arc Raiders purely because of how it has enabled and emboldened this type of person.
Coming from Arc Raiders, its really interesting seeing the how the Call of Duty community interacts with an extraction shooter.
(not talking about dmz og's but warzone/multiplayer players)
Its a pretty strong split.
A lot of them think every thing you do in the game should be about getting as many kills as you possibly can, and winning every lobby. (i get it, im a warzone guy too)
But a lot of them are learning that DMZ, much like Arc Raiders has a ton of stuff on the PvE side of things that are really fun to engage with, and grind.
Story missions, DMZ orders, boss fights (although they could be better in DMZ), building insane loot routes, irradiated containers, bank puzzles, key rooms, bunkers, and so much more.
I am not advocating for PvE only, or a PvE mode in DMZ like I did with Arc Raiders because fighting players is the life blood of Call of Duty and should always be.
But PvP only players will scream at the top of their lungs, that there's no possible way someone can enjoy the PvE aspects of a game, and that PvP is the only way to have fun. When these games have built insanely deep, and layered PvE systems that players want to explore.

Arc Raiders and its consequences have been a disaster for the gaming community.
Ever since Arc Raiders released the gaming community has become unbearable and insufferable.
Getting called a rat in DMZ because I pushed a team in TRIOS and killed them. People don't even know what the definition of a rat is anymore.
Multiple comments asking why I'm shooting players in DMZ. People upset that I did PVP in
-wait for it-
CALL. OF. DUTY.
We've completely lost the plot. We used to destroy each other in Black Ops back on PS3 and Xbox 360. There was no SBMM to protect everyone's fragile ego.
Now they want to remove PVP altogether. It's truly insane.
"You wouldn't survive COD lobbies back in the day." Bro, people can't even survive the COD lobbies TODAY 🤦♂️
By the way, the main marketing image for DMZ is a player literally taking the dog tag off another player.

I honestly believe they're going to fuck it up and turn it into Retail 2.0 after a few years, but I'm gonna enjoy the ride while it lasts.
My greatest fear of Forever is a repeat of us 'going to threats'. That's what originally emptied the world into sub-continents.
I think the heat thing they could do is make the threats come and fight us. The Dark Portal re-opening to turn BL into a warzone a la WC2, etc.

Phantom Blade Zero is pretty fun. It's not super hard but it does have some challenging encounters. Golden Mask made me sweat a bit and it was very satisfying taking him down, probably earlier than I was meant to.

I love how some games will censor my name and not allow me to use it. I didn't even know "frogman" was a slur until this started happening and I had to look it up.

It is crazy entitlement to think a developer should go change a game they made that plays the way they intended for you or anyone else because it doesn’t play the way you prefer. The pitch fever discourse around DMZ, Arc and general extraction from people getting PVPd is insane…
>just let people play how they want to play
No. If you decide to play a game, you play by the rules of that game. You don't get to come in and demand the game change to whatever the fuck you think it should be. It's not for you. Fuck off back to the games that are.
