CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS II

CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS II REVIEW 

by Opstai Epinome

Call of Duty Black Ops II [by Treyarch] has the same problem as every other game now available - it lacks reward. Unfortunately, another game I like Borderlands 2, a game released in September 2012, suffers this same problem. 

An example of this is in 'the heroes journey'. It states that at the end of the 'heroes quest' they receive a great prize or 'boon' as a reward for their service to whoever gave them their task. But in a lot of video games on the market, the players receive nothing for their effort. 

In Borderlands 2, after the player goes through their amazing journey, kill Jack and defeat the warrior, the player doesn't get anything. They don't get an amazing gun that PWNs everything; they don't even get a pat on the back. 

This is no incentive to play at all. CoDBOII suffers from the same flaw. When a player reaches the top level they don't get to relax at all. All they're told to do is - 'do it all, again'. Yes, the player does get to unlock the 'best' gun, but... only one person is having all the fun. No one else is. 

Another beef I have: depending on the game, 'friends' on PSN are almost completely useless. Unless they are exactly the same as you, they are not very fun and rarely ever play with you. When they do they're not much fun to play with, anyway. 

Fortunately PS4 is to be released in the 2013 holidays. Hopefully it will have some better games on it. Maybe the game developers will 'get their act together'. Let's all pray when Borderlands 3 comes out Gearbox does't screw it up, yet again.
