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

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
