Welcome back to day 2 of beta testing Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.
Thankfully there were no issues getting the game to load initially today. That's not to say there weren't a lot of other issues with the game but we'll get into that in a sec.
The game is a blast to play. I am not one who tends to play these competitive first person shooters but I'm starting to think maybe I should be spending more time playing them. I did get better over the course of playing but still got obliterated each round. Some of that was due to glitching in the game but generally it was just me.
The wide selection of guns and modifications that you can apply to your weapon of choice is fantastic. It really helps to make each class feel like it's "your own" more so than the last version of Black Ops that I remember playing. The levels are also a great size and construction making it so that they are large enough for a new player like myself to get a little exploring in before dying. They aren't so crazy big that I find myself aimlessly wandering around either which I have found in other games and that, to me, can be more frustrating than getting quickly killed.
The negatives that I was dealing with (remembering that this is a beta test) were a lot of glitching within the game as well as full game crashes. From general map loading issues to full freezing while playing the game definitely has some bugs to work out still.
I attempted to get some co-op play in and it honestly took about a half hour before we could game in game chat to work between us. After that was finally sorted out we started a game only to have it crash the second I started moving. It seemed to be more of an issue for me than my cohort who was playing on an Xbox though. I can't be sure how much of it was an issue on my end or with the game itself but it was bad enough that there are certain classes I could not edit. For some reason every time I tried to open up those particular classes it would crash while I was able to open and edit other classes without issue.
Overall the game was a lot of fun and if you're into first person shooters you will for sure enjoy this game. Even people (like myself) who don't play these games too often should try their hand at this game once it comes out. It was a blast even though I got killed frequently.

Darkest Dungeon is captivating as soon as you start it up but will that maintain. With so many games out there some just aren't worth your time and for me Darkest dungeon falls into the latter category.

With its mix of crafting elements to build up the world and exploration you'll find yourself scouring the island to save the inhabitants from the murk that is taking over this island.
Genshin Impact: Gacha gaming that’s… good? I often find myself not knowing quite how to feel about mobile games. While capable of providing cheap thrills and alleviating temporary boredom, they generally don’t possess the sort of staying power more robust console and PC titles do.

I don't play a lot of competitive first person shooters. Call of Duty specifically I haven't played since high school. That made getting Beta access to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War a little nerve wracking. I figured that I should record my first attempt at playing this game so that you can what it's all about
Most games that I remember from years past are the classics known for their great gameplay. I can confidently say that's not the case for this game. The crazy nature of this game, from animation to concept, is definitely what has kept it in my mind all these years.
This quirky throwback to old style gaming got me hooked pretty quickly. Even with it's simple play style the game offers a variety of challenges that'll keep you staring that the screen.
I bet there is a number of you out there who are going "Finally a third Pikmin!" Well sorry to burst your bubble but the game has actually been out for a long while. Whether you've never played the third game or just haven't touched it in a while the free demo in the Nintendo Store is worth the download!
Although the game came out 9 years ago it still has a lot of playability today. Whether you're just trying to find areas that you've never explored or creating a whole new build opposite or what you normally play there's numerous ways to keep you interested. With the addition of the Amiibo it can be even more exciting.
The game reminds me of a classic arcade side scroller game but with an upgraded 3D depth to the scenery. Flying in a plane (that can also fly underwater?) while shooting the things that come onto the screen to stay alive and hopefully upgrade as you go!
While we are awaiting the sequel in the much beloved “Breath of the Wild” series Nintendo surprised us with a prequel! Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity lets you play through the war in the years previous to the adventure we’ve come to love. Get through Hyrule as any of the previous heroes!
Nintendo has adamantly stated that the DS would not be brought to an end because of the Switch. This was hard to believe as the Nintendo Switch is very similar to the DS consoles. Staying true to their word for much longer than anticipated their latest update may bring an end to the DS.
