Every generation we see interesting twists and turns to the main competitors. We've seen Sega fail and bailout during the Dreamcast lifecycle, while Microsoft came into the picture as the next contender for the home console title. Sony and Nintendo have studied each other over the years and formed patterns to combat against each other. Nintendo relied strongly on superior first-party offerings, while Sony created strong third-party relationships and offered a wide variety of exclusive titles. A change of strategy is now being made.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
With these hidden gems to add to your backlog, it’s time to give some bangers the shine they deserve.
Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.
The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.

This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
I'd be grateful if Microsoft was half of what Sony was/is. But for now, they're not Sony. They're just "me too" Microsoft.
this won't end great
Not a very accurate parallel. Sony secured all the major releases for their consoles because they made up 75% of the industry at those times. Nintendo in the 64 days lost a lot of support early on because the PS1 offered more storage space for better games... Metal Gear Solid 1 and Final Fantasy VII, being prime examples. This new technology prospect was the key in Sony locking up a lot of developer support in the days they were unknown. Hmm. Reminds me of a certain console out now...
Microsoft also isn't securing exclusives when they end up on the PS3 six months later with better graphics and more content. Thanks for beta testing though. ^_^
NOW NINTENDO IS SONY, MS IS MS, AND SONY IS NINTENDO. I love researchless articles.
