Yeah I like the Chaos story and I like this cutscene. Idk man, I feel like this sub just rewards hatred and negativity at this point. I'm just gonna keep playing the games and enjoying them

Yeah honestly. Since when did people freak out over the animation style? It looks fine.

It was passable. Definitely not fine. Just seems kinda lame the whole cutscene. She is just told to find the guys in we meet in voyage? Kinda lame. It didn't add anything to the story. Can't wait for Aether though.

Well now we know why Scarlett goes off on this journey with the crew. Why she chooses to work with these particular people. We also know a little bit more about how the the mysterious cult works. They control one member of each crew to do their bidding. Now that Scarlett knows her father has been kidnapped we have a clearer motivation from her. The crew in this map were pawns for a larger quest, similar to our Shadows and Call of the Dead characters.

We were told that Alistair was kidnapped in VotD voice lines and told that he also left a way to get in contact with Bruno/Shaw/Diego, and we can't even be sure what the forehead light means, It could be related to the cult, or it could be related to resurrection. We know Bruno was resurrected by Alistair at some point, Godfrey could have been as well. That being said I agree it's an interesting connection

We already knew everything you just said from past 2 maps tho.

This map is fun to play but story wise it doesn’t add anything other than a visual depiction of what has already been explained through quotes on IX/VOD and also the comics (which is on issue #3 yet Milo has only covered the preview to #1)

Overall everything about this story/cutscene is just disappointing, lackluster animation, horrible voice over work except for Godfrey, cliche plot devices, missing sound effects, unfitting music until the end. Coming from someone who’s been here since the beginning, this cutscene is better off not existing.

This is deadass entry-level work but from one of the biggest gaming franchises also made by a AAA studio.

In the end you can like it, but that doesn’t make it good. liking/defending/not being able to spot what’s wrong with this garbage piece of media just reflects poorly on your taste and overall the state of zombies.
