Personally, I enjoyed Black Ops, but I'm not to sure if it's a 9/10 in my book.

Josh_Squire4943d ago

To be truthfully honest I believe that this game does deserve to have 9/10. Although there are issues with the spawns etc etc, it is overall a very well put together game with loads of features to keep the players entertained.

harrypmgaga4943d ago (Edited 4943d ago )

Indeed. I guess it depends on personal tastes. Can't wait for some truthful PC reviews to come out though.

Josh_Squire4943d ago

Yes, the PC review will be interesting with all the bugs and lagg issues that have been happening. In my opinion the game should not have came out until all of the issues were fixed.

harrypmgaga4943d ago

Yeah, the game is practically unplayable for me.

This will be the last CoD title I get. 4th since CoD4 and I'm still not seeing a big leap forward, it's become the Smackdown vs Raw of FPS. Game deserves an 8.5 at most for console, for PC, probably a 7.5

harrypmgaga4942d ago

I'd agree with your scoring.

LevelUpTimes_David4942d ago

Some interesting viewpoints, although I firmly believe that Black Ops is a significant improvement on Modern Warfare 2 which was becoming extremely repetitive.

Black Ops brings with it a wide range of new features, the currency system (or COD points) was a masterstroke by Treyarch, it adds a whole new dimension to the online play.

It is a shame that the PC version is unplayable online and I've heard the PS3 has some lag issues to. However I reviewed the game on the Xbox 360 build which has no such issues.

It’s Time for Sony to Bring Back Killzone and Resistance

Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.

shinoff21833h ago

I'd rather them focus on a rpg. Shooters can wait

just_looken1h ago

We have alot of rpg's but only cod for a AAA first person shooter unless you toss in xdefient but that is still fixing 2yr old beta issues.

We need more AAA fps games then rpg's

Inverno1h ago

I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.

just_looken40m ago(Edited 29m ago)

Your right except the dates killzone mercenary was on ps vita 2013 same with resistance burning skies back in 2012

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH45m ago

Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.

JEECE4m ago

Except Resistance 1 and 3 were far more similar, 2 was the outlier. 3 was a great return to form after 2 changed so many things from the first game.

Huey_My_D_Long36m ago

I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.

P_Bomb33m ago

I’ve been barking up that tree for years. 😢

Metal Gear Solid 5, Nearly After A Decade, Is Still A Timeless Classic

The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.

SimpleSlave9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.

xHeavYx7h ago

I know a lot of people didn't, but I actually liked that story twist at the end. The game was fun and all, but I wouldn't call it a timeless classic.

just_looken4h ago

A demo is free that was a $40 cry for help as later we would know konami did not want to fun hideo and his team anymore that is why we got the unfinished phantom pain.

-Foxtrot8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Meh

Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.

Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.

I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.

just_looken4h ago

If you dig around they had old behind trhe scenes of phantom pain vids and books wrote around the time.

Before funding was puled the main idea was to keep peace walker coop it was in the games early builds and that end game were your building your base that was suppose to be metal gear one.

You as the fake big boss was going to make your own metal gear one map aka your base (outer heaven) then me as sold snake use the mode that is in the game invade/defeat the base even fight your current version of metal gear that was in the game but not finished.

So your idea was on the table bit got canned.

CrimsonWing698h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.

Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.

Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.

Inverno8h ago

People have selective memory. This game had huge drama attached to it, what Konami did to Kojima and this game was horrible. Now they praise Konami cause they revived Silent Hill, even though SH looks half arsed too.

CrimsonWing697h ago

I dunno if they’re getting much praise after the Silent Hill 2 debacle. Makes me scared sh*tless for the MGS 3 Remake…

JEECE8h ago

Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.

Fishy Fingers7h ago

For me, best gameplay, worst, everything else.

How Valve has treated Team Fortress 2 is a disgrace, and its community deserves better

17 years on from release and 5 years into a botting epidemic, Team Fortress 2 is on its knees, and it's high time Valve stepped in to fix it.
