#Name of Obligation’s Seth Rogen collab appears like a nasty journey I can not sober up from – Destructoid

Aheheheheheheehh. Heheheheeheheheheh. HEHEHEEHEHEHEHH. Welcome to Warzone, boys, the place we droppin’? Eheheheheheh.
Yeah, that is really occurring. Hollywood stoner and actor Seth Rogen is the star of Name of Obligation’s Season Three Reloaded replace for Black Ops 6, and I can’t assist however marvel simply what the hell has gone mistaken within the FPS franchise these days to succeed in this level.

I have to preface this by saying I like Seth Rogen. I take pleasure in his motion pictures (Pineapple Categorical and Superbad are amongst all-time favs of mine), and he looks as if a good sufficient dude. However how did we go from a bad-ass Squid Sport crossover in season one and an superior Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collab in season two, to a Seth Rogen marijuana-themed occasion go in season three?
I’ve historically been a fan of the bizarre and whacky skins in CoD. I’ve used CoD Factors to buy every part from a rubber ducky pores and skin, to Raphael the Ninja Turtle, and Artwork the Clown from Terrifier. I feel it’s enjoyable, provides character to the sport, and is innocent. However this one simply feels cringier than typical, and a low level with regards to collabs.
Occasion Passes are controversial sufficient to start with, contemplating how they price upwards of $10 on prime of season passes that are already on prime of the $70 price ticket for BO6 itself. However I assume I can swallow the costs with regards to sure issues, whereas this occasion appears like a hastily-thrown collectively mess.
Initially, 4/20 was final week. This occasion begins on Could 1. Jay and Silent Bob have already joined the sport as your required potheads in CoD every year. The ship has sailed on this occasion, which was doubtless scheduled to return earlier earlier than season three acquired delayed so the sport could possibly be fastened sufficient for Verdansk.
CoD’s have to have so many weed-themed objects every year is one other story fully. To an extent, I get it. I take edibles, I smoke now and again (it’s absolutely authorized in my state), and I take pleasure in some stoner motion pictures and exhibits as a lot as anybody. However why does Activision really feel the necessity to hammer everybody over the pinnacle with this form of “LOOK AT ME I SMOKE WEED” mentality? Effectively, it’s in all probability as a result of it makes cash 12 months in and 12 months out. And right here we’re.

Fortunately, the really helpful objects within the occasion go are free, just like the Ladra SMG and seven.62 Mini-Rocket Conversion attachment for the Goblin Mk2. Elsewhere, the paid observe has two skins for Rogen, a ending transfer, a “HA!” emote (in all probability extra akin to his trademark “eheheheheh” laughter), two weapon variants, a gun display, and weed leaf weapon decal. Ho hum.
To get actual for a second, this isn’t that massive of a deal. I gained’t be buying the occasion go, in order that’s all I can actually do to voice my discontent (apart from this text, clearly), and there are greater issues within the franchise. However… Seth Rogen? Is that actually one of the best we are able to do now?
