Since Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 was officially released in October last year, players have flocked to it. But now, it has been a while since it was released. Is this game still well received? Obviously not, no game can be praised by everyone.
Developers Use AI Creation To Cause Controversy
Games are for players, and everything should be based on the feelings of players. When developers use AI creation to produce some shoddy game characters, scenes and rewards, they are destined to lose the love of players.
BO6's Steam store clearly states that the team uses AI technology to develop related assets. This has greatly aroused the suspicion of players. And some players found that Santa Claus with six fingers appeared in the first season of the game, which not only indirectly confirmed that AI was indeed involved, but also greatly reduced the player's gaming experience.
In addition, players compete in CoD: Black Ops 6 Bot Lobbies to get better rewards, but due to the addition of AI, the reward card only has a woman with a strange style and dishevelled hair. More importantly, she has no usable functions. Did the players work hard in a game just to get such a useless card?
The addition of AI means that developers will reduce the cost of developing games, but the low-cost investment brings a game experience dominated by artificial intelligence, which is really sad.
Some people may ask, why can't the game developer's review process be increased? As long as the developer establishes a set of AI production and manual review links, it will not only reduce the cost of the game, but also increase the player experience?
The Reality Is Not The Case
According to rumors, the developer has made a lot of layoffs, even including many 2D artists. They have abandoned the concept of player-oriented and chose low-cost investment. Perhaps this approach does bring benefits to the company in the short term, but in the long run, it must be a failure.
Artists are just laborers working for capital, and they have no say. Even if they are left in the end, they just follow the boss's orders. As the beneficiaries, the capitalists just enjoy the short-term huge profits brought by cutting corners.
Are CoD BO6 Reviews Polarized?
Many players are very hostile to the game because of AI creation. Especially since AI assets have been included in paid rewards. Imagine, when you finally wait for the developer to issue Redeem Codes and are looking forward to getting some rare treasure, you are told that the redeemed prize is a defective product created by the company using AI. How sad you would be!
In addition to AI creation, more players think that Black Ops 6's microtransactions are ridiculous.
Although players can get the weapons they want by paying, the weapons are bundled with other useless products, which in disguise raises the original price. This is purely cutting the leeks of players and treating players as a tool for making money.
Even though there are some negative comments, a large number of players believe that CoD BO6 meets the public's positioning of multiplayer online games. The whole game is fast and interesting, and the storyline is very much in line with the players' appetite. The game not only combines elements such as zombies, politics, and espionage, but also some decryption activities that surprise players. The whole game allows players to simulate real battlefield scenarios and complete unique tasks, which makes people highly focused and full of excitement.
We don't know whether players will continue to choose CoD: Black Ops 6, but from the perspective of players, the experience must be the first priority. Developers cannot just make money and lose the most important fan base.
