Same people who hired Geoff Keighley and Wario64, that means credibility!

I'm having problems connecting to the servers.

 

[Pics_nao]

Oh, so everyone can't connect. Great. Stayed up late for nothing

 

[Jblanks]

Here we go, 10 pages of people saying they can't connect.

 

[bananafactory]

wtf @ this unpacking time

20 minutes?

 

[Mattenth]

OpenCritic's goal tonight is to be faster than this thread

19 reviews and counting: http://opencritic.com/#!game/1514/call-of-duty-black-ops-iii

Edit: Oh, and click the score orb to see the score distribution

 

[banefirelord]

Tracking lower than I expected review wise, but since I haven't played one of these in ages I doubt I'll be fatigued. Bring on the explosions!

I'm at 33.0.0.0, which is weird since I downloaded the D1 patch before the game was unlocked.

 

[DanteRavenkin]

Any pics of the Juggernog Fridge in the wild? I can't pick mine up til tomorrow evening

 

[Collateral22]

That's gonna be me after I put the disc in

10 pages of me complaining

Spoiler

Just kidding

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

omg servers are not being good right now lol

 

[Ensoul]

I cannot belive the freaking servers for the ps4 are not up. Glad I stayed up for this bullshit.

 

[constantstatic]

Restart the game sit at the title screen don't press x and wait for the version number to update. My ps4 got really loud and it took 30 seconds or so.

 

[NintendoGal]

It locked up on me already.

 

[Netherscourge]

Curious what IGN will give it.

Going guess Jeff isn't a fan of the new mostly useless movement

During the quicklook most of his complaints about multi were things that fans wanted eg. dialed back movement. He loved AW multiplayer so understandable that he wanted that movement system again.

Psn is fine blopsIII ps4 servers are toast.

 

[Kalentan]

Servers online for me.

I have a feeling the fan reaction is going to be far more positive than the critics reception.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

To anyone living in SF Sunset District and making my Amazon driver do a billion orders over there while us Richmond folk got to wait....

Just keep retrying, it eventually works.

If you are getting an alphabetical error just do a hard reset. Should sort it. Happened to me at the start and I've been on the past 4 hours no problem

 

[Netherscourge]

Nothing new with online game launches, folks.

How many AAA games have you played online on launch day that had 100% uptime with no connection issues?

 

[CoffeeKillquest]

Just keep retrying, it eventually works.

Ok thanks will do.

 

[BrownMamba]

Servers are finally up for me, after restarting my ps4. Zombies here we come!

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Any Realistic impressions? Standard hard affiar or WaW hard?

Also fuck multiplayer trophies. Seriously.

 

[jorgejjvr]

So weird

The best cod in 3 years, and it might get worse reviews than the last two lol

Fans will stick to it tho I'm sure

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Eggbok the best ot confirmed lol

 

[constantstatic]

I preordered and no Nuketown not that I like it anyways.

 

[CoffeeKillquest]

Restart the game sit at the title screen don't press x and wait for the version number to update. My ps4 got really loud and it took 30 seconds or so.

This is what worked for me. Thank you.

How do we know it's the best in 3 years?

That did it! Thanks!

 

[Falchion]

I'm in!

 

[Jblanks]

Don't think you can get worse than Ghosts at least.

 

[Creaking]

Reviews are out, where's the thread?

 

[nib95]

MIne- Rated it a Buy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e83O0u5n2L8
If you don't like youtube or my stuff here are the pros cons

Pros
Nightmare mode is ace
Zombie mode
Much of the time it looks great
Music
Sound(with a caveat)
Voice actors galore though with a bad story
MP has been a blast


Cons
GFX hitches on XBOX One during levels with a lot of smoke. Strangely far more with PS4 now. Very hitchy.

Good review dude. Informative and funny in places.

 

[Ihyll]

If Black Ops 3 ends up with a lower overall rating than Ghosts then all of the review sites will instantly lose all credibility with me.

 

[Karak]

How do we know it's the best in 3 years?

It sure was in my book lol

 

[Senketsu]

I couldnt play online. Then I closed the app and re opened it, the game downloaded some files and the game started fine afterwards.

 

[ComputerBlue]

So does anyone know where to get Nuketown? It wasn't part of my download, definitely not available for me in game.

Edit: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...-map/cid=UP0002-CUSA02290_00-BLACKOPS3NUK3TWN

Nuketown Link.

 

[Complex Shadow]

holy shit. its still unpacking. its been 20 mins. the fuck?

 

[JaggedSac]

Is there a review thread?

 

[Karak]

Good review dude. Informative and funny in places.

Thanks as Nib appreciate that man seriously.
This was a pleasure to do despite some others.

Guys Nightmare mode. I can't tell you how well that is done. I want to see what people think of it because I sincerely hope this is a trend.

 

[Elitist1945]

Game is taking forever to unpack. Guess I'm going to bed lol.

 

[Mechanized]

How do we know it's the best in 3 years?

The beta for this game was better than the last few games in the series.

 

[bluedawgs]

84 on metacritic with 10 reviews

 

[zsynqx]

How do we know it's the best in 3 years?

The beta showed that it was already 10x better than Ghosts/AW which had 2 of the worst multiplayers in the series and having played the game for like 3 hours tonight I can reconfirm this. (Multiplayer talk only here)
