Call of Duty Black Ops 3 review – another variant of the same old thing

Call_of_duty_black_ops_3

Before I start reviewing Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, I want to say that I haven’t played Call of Duty since Modern Warfare. Ever since then, I was disconnected from the Call of Duty world. Back then I used to be a semi-pro player with a good team, but after Activision started releasing the Call of Duty game year after year, I knew that the Call of Duty scene will soon fall and I started to play other games. Now I decided to give Call of Duty another shot and what better time to start to play the game again if not now, when Call of Duty Black Ops 3 was released.

First things first, since I haven’t played Call of Duty in ages, I do apologize in advance if I say something stupid. I was kind of excited when I started to download the game, it did took like an hour to download at 10/mbps but it does have 56GB so that’s fair, yet I am still curious what content does this game have.

The first thing I noticed is that in Call of Duty Black Ops 3, you can choose a female character which I’m pretty sure it’s a first in all the series, maybe now developers are acknowledging female gamers. The other thing that impressed me is that you are not stuck with the character that the producers are imposing, you can actually customize your character and choose between varieties of ethnicities.

But the campaign story doesn’t seem something extraordinary, or at least it didn’t impress me. Why aren’t they trying to make a WW2 game again? With today’s graphics, it would probably be the best Call of Duty in years.

I don’t have anything special to add about the campaign as it is a 10 hour trip through all the overrated stories you’ve heard or seen on TV or on the Internet by now. From conspiracies to AI gone evil, the narrative takes you through explosions of epic proportions and make you fight against all odds. The co-op elements are an improvement, but I found the whole campaigns rather boring, although the graphics are amazing and some scenes are pretty epic.

I recommend you take advantage of the co-op mode and play the campaign with your friends, otherwise it might seem like a waste of time.

There is also the Zombie mode, which a lot of people were waiting to explore, but I only took a glimpse at it, so I could review it. The mid-century background with the jazzy soundtrack do mix well with zombies and beware of them, they’re pretty strong. Again this mode should be played with friends and there is also the Nightmare option, which transforms the campaign into an undead apocalypse.

Multiplayer

This is the feature I was most interested about, playing the multiplayer like I used to in Call of Duty 4, but the first thing that came to my mind is that it’s never going to be as good as Call of Duty 4. You can hate me for my opinion, but the most competitive Call of Duty was Modern Warfare 1 this is just not going to cut it. But I did enjoy the multiplayer, I can’t lie, it is fun and skill oriented, but it still has a missing component that none of these latest games seem to have.

The thing is that, for the first time, I didn’t have to change my sensitivity, they got that right, at least for my requirements, because I consider the aim to be the most important thing in an FPS game. The movement is spot on as well, you will not be disappointed by it, but I still can’t agree with the use of perk, it was frustrating in Call of Duty 4, it is frustrating now.

But all the bad could go away if they could stop at one Call Of Duty and make it competitive enough to make players fall in love with this game again. Call of duty 2 and Call of Duty 4 were and still are the most competitive games from the Call of Duty series even though people are just playing it for fun now.

Conclusion

All in all, Call of Duty Black Ops 3 has nothing special to offer except for the fact that developers are starting to acknowledge female gamers by introducing a female character. I still enjoyed playing it as it is one of my favorite games, but Call of Duty 4 will always remain my personal choice as the most fun and competitive gameplay.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

Recurring Persona 3 remake rumors are exciting and exhausting. A site domain was changed in the same fashion as prior Atlus releases, indicating an announcement is imminent.

The “RE” suffix may refer to a “Reloaded Edition” or “Reload,” possibly referencing the game’s infamous Evoker pistols.

According to Persona Central, recent adjustments to the “P3RE.JP” domain suggest an announcement may be coming soon, likely at the Xbox Games Showcase. The Green Machine has an exclusive arrangement with the console Persona 3 and Persona 4 remasters, so we could see it there.

Your thoughts? This rainbow must include a Persona gold pot, right?

Despite respectfully asking a halt to things pre-PlayStation Showcase, we’ve had the Liquid Flame Boss fight trailer in the week since, and now this newest today, courtesy of IGN’s First effort. To clarify, we’ve long been sold on Final Fantasy 16. Squeenix is targeting a new demographic with this release, so we expect the hits to keep coming until launch day (although there’s no guarantee).

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, coming to PS5 and PS4, will immediately refund physical preorders and refund digital preorders upon request. Paradox Interactive updated its game development webpage.

“We remain just as dedicated to delivering a great Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines game as we were when we announced, and are looking forward to showing you more in September this year,” the Bloodlines team wrote in a message that refunded preorders.

Many of you pre-ordered Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 a long time ago. We will update the game’s editions and added material as production continues, and we want to give the most value to those who backed us via digital pre-order after all this time.”

Despite being unfinished, Troika’s 2004 roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is rated one of the greatest. In the extremely adult World of Darkness, players play a fledgling vampire striving to survive in a politically volatile society with blood-sucking clans as lethal as any military-trained monster hunter (there are many of those, too).

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2—excited?
