And for the first time, you can even be a lady! Someone told Activision that was important, though judging from the lack of options they appear to have no understanding of why. Reason 5: Black Ops 3 flaunts a character customizer.as long as you choose one of a handful of cookie-cutter defaults.

ItвЂ™s exactly the same as the solo campaign only with even more repetitive, robotic enemies that weвЂ™re already bored of killing. Reason 4: The game includes a lazy cooperative gameplay mode for up to four people. But when your main character has his limbs ripped off by a robot in the first 20 minutes without any sense of humor, as happens in Black Ops 3, you know itвЂ™s gonna be a long ten hours.

Until now, the series under the COD banner was an over-the-top slaughterhouse, like the best kind of Eighties action flick, delivering spectacular sequences but never taking itself too seriously. Reason 3: Treyarch has forsaken its Black Ops roots.

As it is, the superpowers seem like an admission that Treyarch, the studio responsible for Black Ops 3, is out of better ideas. Reason 2: The game shoehorns in sci-fi superpowers, which might get a pass had the franchise not used the exact same approach in last yearвЂ™s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. ItвЂ™s a 12-mission yawnfest with the exception of one standout level, which IвЂ™ll tackle below. Reason 1: Black Ops 3вЂ™s campaign is a ho-hum, 10-hour affair with only the occasional spike of entertainment among the mindless, run-and-gun gameplay. This kind of success boggles the mind when it comes to Black Ops 3. Just a few days after the launch of Black Ops 3, press releases began rolling into my inbox announcing that the game had reaped an astounding $550 million in worldwide sales its first weekend, beating out Jurassic World as the biggest entertainment launch of 2015.Д¬oincidentally or not, both Black Ops 3 and Jurassic World are products of formulaic franchises designed to mill blockbusters, and whose cheap tricks continue to smash records. Every year, when Call of Duty launches a sequel, Activision takes a moment to pat itself on the back for having accomplished something new and special.
