NerdBite: Call of Duty: Ghosts Review – Time to put an old dog down…

NerdBite: Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear oh dear. Looks like the end of an era has finally come calling… Earlier this week Ghosts became the tenth title in quite possibly the most successful video games series of all time, but with diminishing returns and a tired look in its eyes, has Call of Duty: Ghosts exceeded everyone’s expectations? Not by a long shot.

About damn time people started calling this crap out.

HammadTheBeast3844d ago

All the small/medium sites are giving it 7 or less, but IGN and Gamespot still giving it AN 8.9 and 8 WTF.

8.9 is near masterpiece. IGN SHREDS other games for having a similar formula to the last, yet praises CoD for doing it.

brodychet3844d ago

it's almost as if.. they aren't credible whatsoever? It's almost like.. they're completely biased regardless of the product.

I'm sure they were probably payed to give the review a 9 or 10. But were like "Nah people will know. It's too obvious. Take the safe route; 8.9"

LOL

Akira20203844d ago

@HammadTheBeast
IGN and the other larger review sites give high scores to these games because of all the exclusives and perks they get from companies like Activision and EA.

Once the smaller gaming sites start taking precedent, Activision and EA will start sending them invites, early releases, and collector editions.

It's just like politics...in a small "Q-Bert" kinda way.

IVanSpinal3844d ago

i cant believe how bad is Ghosts
MW2 was the last good COD

IRON883 3844d ago

Don't recall which review it was but they said ghosts plays like mw2???

Ghosts3844d ago

The game look good..like for real,

310dodo3844d ago

Read the review. Feel the score is about right.
considering hes using a 5 point scale.
almost a "3" though I do feel on this scale Id myself go

3.7 with Ghost so far on a 5 point scale.
Multiplayer is really fun, but lag is awful at times.

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth820d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo820d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy820d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad820d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX820d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam820d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje820d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad820d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude820d ago (Edited 820d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891782d ago (Edited 1782d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1782d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1782d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1781d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1782d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
