Looks like Activision has finally Guitar Hero'd CoD.

Jim Sterling gave MW3 a 9.5 so when it comes to COD I'm really not going to give him much breathing room. Not surprised he didn't like it , he's been on a pretty big rant against companies like Activision in recent times (with good reason however).

Polygon however carries weight. Its nice to see some brutal honesty applied to this franchise. Its such a recycled game I can't even imagine why they even bothered with a PC version. IW truly doesn't give two shits about its PC gamers , not even including such vital features. I bet so many E-Sports kids are going to be disappointed with the lack of league functions. They should have just let IW make another game entirely and let Treyarch handle the franchise from now on.

But whatever , it'll still sell millions upon millions of copies so it doesn't matter what us PC gamers think of it. We really are not the target audience at all. This is a console franchise now and that's not a horrible thing but they should just bury the PC hatchet.

And of course IGN gave it an 8.8 , I'm pretty sure if it was a tin of dog shit IGN would have given it at least an 8.

That gif never get old. 8.8 is surprisingly low for IGN. I was expecting a 9.5 or 10 from them. That site is so sadly predictable though.
 
... pre-loaded the game. I unlocked the game. I click multiplayer and it asks me to download 7gb. Very usefull pre-load.

To be fair to Stirling, he does state that he still holds the IP in high regard and that BLOPS2 had attempted to innovate, but Ghosts on the other hand is mundane and regressive in nearly every respect. He gave BLOPS2 8.5/10 just under 12 months ago, so I doubt his trademark cynicism and ire directed at publishers has skewed this particular review.

As for whether the console masses will buy this in droves, they may well do initially...however the advantage they have is the ability to return/trade-in/sell/lend/give away their copies. So unlike us PC heathens who have to live with getting screwed over by publishers if we make a poor buying decision, consoles users have recourse to minimize their losses if Ghosts is truly as shit as it looks to be. That may well gain enough momentum to seriously undercut and harm overall sales.

As for IGN, here's a pic which says it all:

I hate reviews and never listen to them.. But I know people eat them up like candy.

Hopefully this will be the death of this shitty franchise forever..
 
I have no desire to even finish single player and will end up deleting this. I feel like I've played this game a million times already. It's the same old gun battles... Just spam the fire button, toss a few grenades back until your AI teammates decide to move up and cue the next sequence..
 
I don't understand some review sites..

This is from Joystiqs review.. They gave it 3.5 stars out of 5.. Seems every site (besides IGN) and every player is summing it up the same..

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a solid installment, but it lacks creativity and innovation. Its new engine already looks dated in the face of the competition, and it eschews many of the solid concepts seen in Black Ops 2. After Treyarch attempted to expand the established Call of Duty formula with risky campaign and multiplayer ideas, Infinity Ward and friends have ignored the franchise's innovative climb. Despite this, Ghosts still steals the show with more memorable missions than those found in Black Ops 2. And even with the loss of Pick 10, I still played the multiplayer for hours and had a good time.

Expanding on Treyarch's accomplishments could have elevated Call of Duty: Ghosts, but Infinity Ward largely returns to ideas it has been tweaking since the original Modern Warfare. Infinity Ward has always forged its own path, but its formulaic design document has become worn. It's a good book, but it's time to turn a new page.

LMAO

Between this and BF4 I think I might just smash my PC and move along in life.

Blackops 2 murders this GHOST hunk of garbage. Hell, even MW3 was better than this.

You can tell noob devs made it.

LOL and to think I went out at midnight for fun to get it at gamestop. I just need to go cry or something I don't know.
 
The games hardlock for 6GB of RAM has already been cracked.. The general consensus so far is the game uses just under 2GB of RAM and the 6GB hardlock is looking like a marketing ploy of some sort.. From my own observation checking the process and monitoring total RAM usage before and after starting the game backs up that.. This entire game is back firing so far on Activision and it couldn't have happened to a worse company.

I hope this finally kills CoD from IW.
Treyarch at least is trying to step forward with the franchise, IW steps backwards.
 
Another shitty game. I really hope they finally kill this franchise off.
 
Why on earth did they hard lock the ram, it will just kill sales. Im still on 4 gig not that i would buy a CoD game. The MP will be garb as usual just a total scrub fest.

Probably their way of moving sales to consoles and away from PC.. I fully expect a "PC sales of Ghosts fall well short of expectations" story in the future and IW using it as a reason to switch to 100% consoles.

I lost interest in this series when they did jack shit to curb cheaters in PC mulitplayer.. I couldn't play a single game of Modern Warfare 1 without some tard wallhacking and aimbotting the map to oblivion.. I made cheap pity purchases of MW2 and MW3 during steam sales to give me something to do but the game was dead to me by MW1.

For someone who doesn't care for the game, you sure sound like a COD player.

I think they spent all their development budget on advertising and figured their target demographic of 8th graders will buy it regardless of quality.
 
Looks like IW has turned to shit. Every time they release a game now it's an utter shitfest. I love how Crossfire just crashes the game and it seems like the game stutters for no reason when MSAA or something is turned on. I like CoD, but this is epic fail.

A CoD player?

I have over 3k hours on CS. Errr i think not
 
I wouldn't go calling it bad looking. I think texture wise it looks fine.. But it's high res textures on top of the same old game engine so.. Yeah.. There is no reason for it to perform as terrible as it does. I'm not even noticing any use of advanced shaders or anything. Every time a grenade explodes my framerates drop to shit for a few seconds.

Next gen gernades baby! Wait till they add PhysX effects with dog fur causing frames to drop to 20 fps.
 
I was thinking about picking this up but now I don't think I will...game is getting mixed reviews with average to below average scores...why do people care about the single player aspect for?...almost no sane person will buy this or BF for the single player...it's a MP game

I was intrigued by the large maps in Ghosts but for $60 I think it's best to save that for some Black Friday deals (or maybe buy some nice Blu-ray movies instead)
 
The good news about both BF4 and COD:ghosts being HORRIBLE games is that I get to save $400 on my GFX upgrade.

I made the mistake of buying BF4, I am making my buddy be the tester for COD before these asshats get more of my money to spoon feed me the same old shit.

haha. Some how I got suckered into buy two 780gtx for bf4. and I can only play one round so far before it just crashes. As for cod I guess I should have did little reading. The MP is seems to bot be using the updated engine.

well bf3 will run at my native res maxed out smoothly I guess is how I should look at it. Plus crisis 3 maxed is looks ballen

If you consider them asshats spoon feeding you the same old shit, why in the hell would you have your buddy test it? They'll (BF4/CoD) stop spoon feeding you shit, when you stop paying them to.
 
Crap, I bought it last night and am download it now, hope there are people to play with, I don't normally play the sp portions of these games.

Well for this years COD release (and BF release) 1 of the 4 of my gaming buddies made the purchase instead of all 4 of us insta-buying. Since we all have similar gaming preferences, it is our way of getting an accurate review and not all dumping a bunch of money into the same old tired crap. So yes...we are giving them less money in the form of sales.

Also, BF4 is so bad I actually took the time to write a review on amazon, which I never do. I consider it a personal goal to give these assholes as little money as possible.
 
35k is shockingly low. 10k for Blops 2 and 7k playing MW3... Curious to see if that number rises once all the kids get home from school. I was easily expecting 100k online or so. Or maybe Activisions goal with the 6GB hardlock worked and everyone is buying it on console instead. There is someone on Steam community who claims Valve refunded him over the 6GB hardlock and posted a screenshot.. Valve giving refunds is hilarious because it's almost unheard of.
 
See the weekend when the Double XP begins. There will be ~100K people playing the game.
 
Game has a serious memory and gpu ram leak issues. Uses over 3000 mb ram on my gpu and over 7.5 gb of system ram.


What a POS port, my god.contemplating a refund.
 
I can't even figure out how to get 1:1 pixel mapping...

It also appears max_fps is locked... why I do not know. But its horrible.

Back to BF4 for me.
 
Well, I played a few rounds and it is ok. Doesn't look very good, menu is laggy for some reason.
Unlocks are points based, basically buying unlocks with the points you earn.
Not worth $60 IMO.

Not too happy with the current games, bf4 is buggy, and ghosts looks like shit. I bought Crysis 3 since I missed the bundle deal, so I guess I'll try that out. I don't play Crysis multiplayer, just SP for me with this title.
 
What are the chances of getting a refund for this game if I bought it over Steam? Probably nil?
