Well I messed up in the metascore thread...my theory of massive paid reviews didn't worked in the end.

Finally some review justice. If Batman can get a 74 for being the same, CoD should go even lower for being the same multiple years in a row.

It has 78 on PS4 though, which is the version that has the most reviews.


The PS4 version will be rated higher not becuase of the more reviews but becuase sites are going to give it higher scores then the PS3/360 versions becuase it runs smoother and looks better. I expect to see the PS4 version to be rated at around 80 while the 360/PS3 version at a 70.

Im more intrested to see if the sales follow this trend and decrease again. Just like review scores are slowly decreasing from game to game sales will drop slightly from game to game.

Not going to say an 88 from IGN is or isn't deserved, but it is striking to me how easy of a critic IGN has become over the last console generation.

They kind of have to do it. Keep a good relationship between them and all the major publishers. They can't afford to have the developers show up on their live show or whatever and be like yea..that game. We gave that one a 6 or something. 

IGN would stop getting their freebies and paid trips to go play the game before it comes out if they didn't give good scores. ;)

And I say that as someone who thinks Ghosts deserves a solid 8/10. (While prior games like MW2, MW3, ad BO1 should hve gotten 5-7/10)

This means Treyarch does better Cods.

Treyarch have made better COD games than IW since 2008. Ghosts is the first IW game to challenge that trend.

Haven't played Ghosts but MW2 was an amazing game. It is the only one i haven't gotten rid of. The other two added quite a bit to the series too. Not sure what made you not like them but you seem to want to give Ghosts a free pass a day after it came out.

Granted I have not finished Ghosts yet, but so far it doesn't have the problems those games had for me, (The jump-the-shark absurdness of MW2, the blandness of MW3, the disjointed nature of BO1) and has better storytelling than any previous COD except possibly BO2.

Oh yea. I forgot that you only play Call of Duty games for single player. From 800-900 hours i have played the franchise during the generation. Less than 3% time was spent in completing single player campaigns.

Well, if that's the case, then the game media is nothing but a marketing arm of the software publishers.  If we can't get honest information about games with an unbiased opinon.  That's the whole point of journalism, or at least it's supposed to be.

If I wanted to hear about how great CoD Ghosts is, and not about how it actually is, then I would just go to Activision's site and read the promotional material.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

This is a massive step down for black ops 2. But i'm having no frame rate issues on ps3. So i don't know what that's all about.

Didn't Jim STerling from Derstructiod give a recent COD game 90%? What a hipocrite.

How do you figure?
