Call of Duty Black Ops III Hype Thread | GS Review: 7/10 Flop :(

@Cloud_imperium: They're definitely lazy, Advanced Warfare looked better.

Heh flop.

I wonder how Battlefront will fare.

Just watched the review.

The game actually looks more interesting than Halo 5.

@mr_huggles_dog: too bad it isn't. Thanks for killing cod Sony.

This is one of the lowest scores out. It has an 85 metacritic after 32 reviews which is 2 points higher than Black Ops 2 and I loved that game. Its also higher than AW or Ghosts. I couldn't stop playing the beta so I know I'm going to love the multiplayer in this and zombies is always fun. Couldn't care less about the campaign when I'll have Fallout 4 and Bloodborne DLC for single player.

@NathanDrakeSwag: dat delusion. Cod is dead. Halo wins. Rip Sony.

This game got ripped to shreds by Jeff over at Giant Bomb and I love it.

Dead? It will outsell Halo 5 on xbone alone not even factoring in PS4 and PC sales. It is #1 on twitch right now while Halo 5 is all the way down at #15 lol.

@NathanDrakeSwag: lol from metacritic to Amazon to twitch. How many straws do you have left to grab? I would hope it outsells Halo considering it's on like 5 platforms. Sony ruined cod confirmed

Lems are so butthurt over Haflop 5 they even hate on CoD now - the biggest selling franchise on 360 last gen.

@Orchid87: now ps4 is officially the home of cod and now the series is ruined according to reviews which cows love so much. Not a coincidence. Battlefront will flop too

Damn bro even exclusive marketing makes you hate on games lol. You don't see PS4 owners hating on Fallout 4 just because m$ got marketing rights. Lems are so insecure this gen.

@NathanDrakeSwag: says the guy hyping cod and Battlefront as some of the greatest games this year. Lol

Finally a good reviewer.

Wish he'd given it a 6.

So, according to your logic, floplo is ruined too? Both are 85 at metacritic.

Which translates to BO3 being superior because it clearly gets docked by certain reviewers for being annual while Halo is on a 3 year cycle and still gets ripped apart.

@Orchid87: I never said Halo wasn't a flop. According to the sw metagame it was a flop. Blops3 is still a bigger flop

@NathanDrakeSwag: keep moving those goal posts you sad little man.

oh man if F4 gets a low score this place will explode

@mems_1224: so why did you say "Cod is dead. Halo wins" if they both are flops?

Why are you so salty over a multiplat? Is it because xbone has the worst version?

@NathanDrakeSwag: why would I care if it has the worst version of a bad game of a dying franchise?

You talking about Halo?

@NathanDrakeSwag: ouch, swing and a miss. Gonna let you try that again bro.

400 million

@rektmuhface: If Jeff Gerstmann doesn't dig the latest COD, you know there's something wrong.

Nope, halo 5 is the only version of a bad game of a dying franchise. Considering its many technical shortcomings it is very sad to be a lem nowadays.

"You rock, bro. Thanks for the support. Be sure to get the season pass, btw! It only costs as much as the money you just spent on this game!"

Not as legit as the letter that came with The Witcher 3, that's for sure.

I'll take my crow and eat it now, guys :(

Game still looks awesome, though

Its the highest rated CoD on metacritic in 4 years.

Dang, what a flop, i cant believe i fell asleep. Guess can skip this CoD, should be good to buy this flop on the cheap. Atleast we got Halo 5 to play i guess.

It's been that way for the last I would say almost 2 years. There has been a bit more range with some of this stuff, still way too high on the scale most of the time, but more varied opinions.

I don't see a reason to not buy the game because someone gave it a 7.We all know that CoD is about the same every year in terms of mechanics and this year we have some new features which make it even better.So the multiplayer is worth 9/10 for me.Now who buys cod for the campaign?Also the double jumping doesn't work exactly like AW.The game its more slower paced than AW.

@pankar94: Just keep playing AW, can buy BOPIII when like $20 next year. I would just buy Halo 5 bro. Or get that Fallout 4 on Xbox One, that one should be a good one to play.

@mesome713:

Already playing it on PC.I had AW on Xbox but sold it.

really disappointed to hear about the sp, its the first thing i complete with every new entry. treyarch had 3 fucking years to create something decent, seems they did a better job churning out cod3 in 9 months. wtf....

It has the same metacritic has Halo 5.

And from this moment forth, the game was known as CoD: FLOPS 3.

Get it guys? Do you get this oh so clever joke?

(On a more serious note, the AAA hype this game had was confusing. Didn't look any more distinct than the previous titles at the end of the day)

Quite enjoying the campaign. Framerate is iffy though.

I'm genuinely surprised. huh

Still don't understand the logic of basing "floppage" on one site's review. But then again, logic has never been the strong suit of SW.

Trolls gonna troll yo.

I don't understand how Treyarch has gotten such huge praise over the years for Call of Duty. Yes, they're making better games than Infinity Ward, but them being the "leads" of this series hardly makes them amazing developers.

This seems to have the same exact problems as the past two Black Ops games. Lots of content to explore, but most of it being undercooked. Considering that they had three years development time and have the largest video game budget in the world, I'm surprised that this game isn't as good as it should be.

Man this will out sale halo just on the fact it is out on all systems but come on you should be smart enough to know video games are like flavor of the week. Last Week: Halo, this week: COD, next week: Fallout 4, after that: Battlefront.

Halo 5, Fallout 4, and Rise of the Tomb Raider, STOP IT! You a makin me a-horny. - Mario

12 million people still play BO2 after 3 years. That's not flavor of the week. Just because people get bored of Halo games in a week now doesn't make everything else flavor of the week.

@NathanDrakeSwag: and where did you pull out that number?

Great, 12 million casuals still play BO2. THat has nothing to do with BLOPS3 and its mediocre reception.

Activision themselves said it.
