Looks like Fallout with some Call of Duty mods.

Black Ops 3 is a bad LSD trip. Ani Infinite Warfare is unscientific bullshit.

In fact Infinity Warfare storyline is pretty childish. The campaign feels like a typical kids show - just with some nasty but still not over-the-top violence and Hollywood-esque visual effects.
Black Ops 3 campaign was even worse, especially towards the end. It felt like the developers just smoked everything they could buy and smoke including weed, hash, crack and rocket fuel.

Sadly, I've not played either. I really enjoyed CoD when it was theatric WWII single player games, and I did like a lot of what Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare had to offer (the "nuke scene" was awesome)... but I've never been a big fan of Multi-Player games.
I did play Battlefield 3 quite a bit, having some friends who also played made that pretty fun. Also CoD today is all about 'twitch' and '14-year-olds calling you a faggot' and 'magic weapons' while Battlefield has had some actual tactics, and the realism modes made thinking more important that simply reacting. BF4 wasn't as good, but it's not bad.
I just don't have the computer for any of the new games. I can't even run DOOM 2016 on this thing.

Call of Duty is a cockfight with guns.

Pretty much. No tactics, sometimes even no skill - just rage and brutal CQC berserk fighting. Counter-Strike requires brains. Unreal Tournament and Quake are full of gun-fu which requires as much skill as rapier fencing. And Call of Duty requires nothing. Many players just run shooting blindly.

I liked the original Counter Strike... I didn't have the reflexes for it, but it was fun. CS:GO doesn't appeal to me, the user base is too exclusive and the stupidly expensive 'weapons skins' are just ludicrous. UT and QIII were fun, but back then I didn't have the internet connection for them, and a 28.8 modem vs T1 lines and DSL was not workable. CoD was great as single player combat theatre, but it's just poor as a multiplayer shooter. I honestly do not understand why people actually watch CoD, LoL, or StarCraft games... I mean... why???

In fact CS:GO has one bad thing - it mixes gaming with gambling. This is basically a casino.

I've never seen the gambling in-game. I know there are gambling sites, and I know CS:GO has some kind of 'random' element to the 'loot drops'... but so does any other 'random loot' game. Unless you are ready to say that Borderlands and Diablo and Torchlight and Path Of Exile and World of Warcraft mixes gambling with gaming, you can't really point a finger at CS:GO for doing the exact same thing, because it's not Valve Software's fault that other people choose to buy and sell in-game items. There are entire economies in China that depend on selling in-game items in EVE Online and WoW.

But the fact is that this is not so different from actual casino. But usually this isn't considered gambling by law despite being actual gambling. Not regulated, not taxed. And underage gamers gamble too.

So... you do think that all 'random loot drop' games are a kind of gambling? I can see how that could be true conceptually, but I don't see how you'd make it work unless someone outside the game (and not the game makers) was willing to actually pay for these items.

For me this hard to understand how messed up should you be to buy game items for your real money.

Sommetimes people start do crazy things just because they fed up and live too wellย

True... the really crazy people are almost always in the upper levels of society. The low-down people are too busy surviving to be really strange. A desperate poor person might kill you for the clothes on your back, but only an upper-middle class white male will vivisect you with power tools and eat your tender bits.

When someone has quite a lot of free time and enough money to sustain him or her well the main problem is how to entertain him or her, especially after being fed up with many known kinds of entertainment.ย
However there are people who can be considered very rich but who don't have enough TIME to do bullshit because of demanding work and tight schedules.

Video game industry needs something fresh. But I believe it WOULD bring something.
Remember a Cinema scene ("Akemi" movie) from "To the Stars"?
It feels like video game industry is moving towards something like this, with all these new VR headsets and etc...

In fact I see that video games today go ahead cinema.
Cinema as and ar is degenerating, but video games are becoming more cinematic than cinema.
Do you see this too?

Movies as a form of art started to degenerate because they're competing with video games and video games achieved cinema-level plots and graphics and special effects (still limited by tech) but haven't some limits movies actually have. Especially duration limits because people need to pee and poo and a movie cannot be too long in theatres. And tv-series are cheaper, sure not AAA-tier format. But an AAA-tier game can last for 20 or 40 or more hours and be played for weeks and months, with a lot longer and complex plots and much more scenes and action and humor and other things. A good game can be as long and as complex as a good book. In a movie we have to compress everything into 1,5-3 hours.
