The worst Call of Duty . Story is now family based - revenge. Feels like a cheap Hollywood movie . I still cant forget the goosebumps i got when played COD4 || MW2 and BO but this one is down the drain. I wont stop anyone from playing this game,do play this and then compare with the previous versions and its clearly evident that COD is nothing but a milking cow or same monotonous work. I could feel that the developers even got bored. The backdrop etc Monitors/TV/Chairs etc in the game or the environment has not been up scaled much. I am referring to details. I feel now that COD should come after every 2 years now. I would rate this one 7/10.

Did you finish it? I actually think, the next COD Ghosts might actually be good considering the ending.
 
But this is how it is with the current review system, which is based off the US Education system scores. 9 is great, 8 is good, 7 is average and anything below is fail. If you want proper reviews follow Jim Sterling. He used to be in Destructoid, but recently resigned. His last review for Destructoid is of COD Ghosts which he gave a 5/10, stating that it is average and not complete trash.

The same Jim Sterling who rated Arkham Origins 3.5/10?
 
Yes, none other. While I haven't played Origins nor do I think it is that bad, I can appreciate the opinions that back up that score. Far better than IGN.
 
IGN is a base of COD fanboys. (I don't know about present scenario but heard it used to be.)
This time they have given 8.8 instead of 9 something. But then also they have agreed to one thing.
It's by no means an achievement in dramatic storytelling — it's more about dumb fun

Well there are many things going on behind the scenes. It is very difficult for a gaming publication to flat out trash the premier game of one the biggest publishers in the market. They will stop advertising on your site, they will stop inviting you for previews, sneek peaks and developer interviews, they will stop sending you review copies. You will struggle to meet costs, have no breaking news that is not already on other news sites and your reviews will be late by a day or two. Piss off enough publishers and suddenly you will find yourself out of business.

So browse these "big" sites for news, videos, sneak peaks, announcements etc, and seek out independent reviewers like TotalBiscuit for game reviews.

+1, i say this to anyone who takes IGN scores seriously (I do like IGN though, their articles are stupid and their immature readers' comments are often entertaining). I don't remember the last time they rated a big title below 8 and it's very clear they are paid reviews, the ghosts review for e.g., reads like a marketing pitch and there's no way it's better than BF4 even though i haven't played either. I prefer Eurogamer, PCgamer and polygon for reviews.

Completed the game and i swear,most boring COD i ever played. I thought that this one would be like Modern warfare but no where near it. One more reason that i hated the game was there was no M4A1 or G63C. AI that works with you is vague in many occasions. Come what may,we might like it or not but i feel COD is now above or beyond reviews. Even if it is rated 3 or 4 still would sell millions of dollars or may be billions. All the previous iterations i have played earlier,have completed the missions in Hard and then Veteran. That was the excitement but this one,i am done in Hard and dont think would play again.

So how was the performance, ppl are complaining lag.
 
Done the SP campaign. Decided to skip a night's sleep and play this, and it was more or less worth it. There are some nice details put there which normally have not given any attention, I mean both graphically, when in that mission where you have to go from one building to another building (those skyscrapers) even the road way below was detailed, unlike BF, and physically, the level under the water and that space mission was brilliant. COD was never great for graphics, and this one was no different, it was pretty good, but any surface looked beyond horrible!, be it clay or concrete! Game optimization was fantastic imo, never saw frames going below 35, it was always around 48-50. Now the story, well, same again, one dude got so much attention. Some missions were not worthy of the title 'ghosts' though, or did I get the meaning of the 'ghost' wrong? Almost 9 hours+ SP campaign on hard, 18 missions, however short, I can easily give this a 7.5/10.
Not even have any slightest interest about BF vs COD nonsense, but this year COD won it for me. BF's too short SP campaign, poor optimization and that difficulty level (was too easy at hard!) were some negatives, graphic wise Ghosts is much inferior than BF4, but I guess that's how it always was.
 
Bf4 is poorly optimized ? I don't think so, none of the reviews nor any site benching bf4 said that. My 270x handled it butter smooth.

Lol, I don't know what's a 270x. I am a pretty simple guy, at same settings BF4 dropped frames on several occasions, Ghosts didn't, this came my conclusion. My card is a GTX580 btw. Besides, my friends who played the game reported same feedback, one couldn't even bear the lag on his GTS 450 (sorry I might be wrong about the model no.) and stopped playing in that China (not sure about the country) mission (the one at beginning with rain).

Gts 450? Its obviously supposed to lag.

And another friend with the GTX570. I just checked your card, it's new and better card than mine, let alone other ones. Not every person should have a 20k card to play a game at high settings. When I couldn't run the Crysis 3 properly on my 560 I sold it, and bought another, you will do the same if some game doesn't run well on your rig, but you have to think about others too, the non crazy persons like us :P
