Nostalgia is a driving factor that keeps bringing me back to Call of Duty Black Ops 6. As a matter of fact, the entire Call of Duty franchise operates on nostalgia. So today I wanted to talk about that emotion in general and how it applies to my journey in gaming.

@@Mr.Jim8952, here. Treyarch, to me, makes the most fun CoD’s. Just so much to do and unlock. I think it has to do with what you,as an individual, want out of the game. IW, or Sledgehammer, may make the type of CoD’s that you prefer, while Treyarch appeals most to me. Zombies is what really tilts the scale for me towards Treyarch. I do prefer last years multiplayer over this years, but the omnimovement makes it a close race. Love being able to slide every way I want to get away from zombies. To each their own, I guess?

@Mr.Jim89 Ай бұрын

@mash2481 I did tried out treyarch cods from someone I know who still buys them. The games just aren't fun that I used to get with b01 and bo2. And I am glad I didn't waste any money on them. The modern warfare reboots are more enjoyable with the exception of mw2 2022. That one was terrible

Same...I fell off of Call of Duty for awhile after MW2019 even though this franchise had been apart of my life since I was legit 4 years old back in 2008 watching my dad play the campaign for COD 4 on our Wii. BO6 really feels like the first COD I've fully enjoyed playing since the days of BO3 which is my personal favorite COD game. I first found your channel when Black Ops 3 was in its prime since that was the first COD game I fully owned myself. I would do so much to go back to those days where I would come home on a friday during my freshman year of high school in 2016, blow off whatever homework I had to do that day, and hop on my Xbox One with the boys and play some BO3. BO6 is the first COD games since then that made me feel like I'm back in those times and it feels amazing to be back with this series again, BO6 isn't perfect but whenever I stop playing it I still get the urge to hop back in and keep playing, which is perfectly fine for me

I’m not sure why this one has landed so well with me. My heyday was Call of Duty 4. I enjoyed that and played that, the most. After that, I played most Call of Duty titles for a prestige, but never more than that. They never landed with me the way Cod4 did. Modern Warfare 2019 was the closest I came to rediscovering that love of Call of Duty, and I still only played that until second prestige. So when I heard about Black Ops Six, with its crazy movement and high learning curve… I had very little excitement for it. But for whatever reason, the clouds have opened, the planets are aligned… I’m loving it. Legitimately loving it. I haven’t enjoyed Call of Duty this much in over 15 years.

Dude I agree, I stopped playing CoD during MW2019 because I thought it was a flat out terrible game and nothing like Call of Duty. I started playing Bo4 again earlier this year and had a lot of fun and rage too it felt like a good game, I think BO6 has tons of flaws and is a pretty bad game but that nostalgia and feeling of grind keeps bringing me back to playing the game even though it’s a chore to play and a lot of times flat out miserable 😭 it’s just something inside of me that wants to keep playing CoD even though I absolutely despise the super thick SBMM and horrid maps so I may end of quitting again or going back to older call of duties

It was weird, but my first few rounds I played with the B06 Beta, I absolutely hated it. Thought it was going to be the first COD I would not play. After I pushed through those first few matches, I started to really find myself enjoying it. It has a funny way of growing on you. The last few COD games, i could get on and play 3-5 matches and feel 'meh' and log off. BO6 I can sit and play for hours. Been a long time since a COD has sucked me in like that.

@nosam1998 Ай бұрын

Yep! This is the first CoD in years that I can actually play multiplayer for a long time and enjoy it. I started back in MW3 and Bo2, loved the jet pack games, but around Bo4 CoD started to lose me. I still bought them, and I loved OG warzone, but it just didn’t feel “fun”. Bo6 scratches an itch that I missed, it’s genuinely fun to play, and I look forward to it.

I’ve been watching your content since I was the original MW3 and two games that I highly recommend if you have some free time or ever want to stream something else are: Outer Wilds and Disco Elysium. Both are very different games than COD and very philosophical but are easily the two best games I’ve ever played and it’s not even close. I’m in school studying political philosophy and both these games are on par with the literary canon. Outer Wilds is as close to a perfect game that will probably ever be made and its game design is so unique and genius that it’s kind’ve ruined other games for me. Disco Elysium on the other hand has much more familiar CRPG gameplay but the writing, world building, and commentary on history, art, politics, philosophy, psychology etc… is second to none. I would love to hear your thoughts on either of these games if you get the chance to play them as they are truly once in a lifetime experiences.
