Don't feel bad. It's  a fantastic game.

I'm taking that people are very much enjoying the campaign then, i couldnt be arsed with the mp even nearly, but assuming the positive comments refer to the campaign then I do have to agree that its one of the finest examples of its sort of late (not a very high bar admittedly), in terms of pure injecting technical pretty (i'll leave aesthetics as another matter) into your eyeballs, on the PC, this is the new standard, and does for the genre and attitude to how a game presents itself a similar powerful change as the concept set in motion, i felt, in the first Modern Warfare - a game that felt like a film, and as a relentless series of well choreographed setpieces that put it up as also a true action figurehead (I always compare MW with contra 3 internally)

Begrudging given my lack of love for this kind of game, i like it. If they can get games like this working as OR experiences (stuck record i know) without being intense shitfests, a very stimulating avenue for action fans would have been opened

Its still COD at the end of the day - only so many 'follow the dumb AI' campaigns I can stomach.

I don't think the near future tech adds enough to make it stand out from every other iteration. The introduction of boost & jumps etc smells more like keeping up with the Jones', rather than an honest attempt at revitalising a stagnant franchise. Most importantly; the Exo movement isn't a patch on Titanfall's seamless traversal.

Let the masses wallow in it.

This +1
It shows lots of promise with the stealth level and the grappling level but it never capitalises on any of them. It's a decent campaign tho. 
It's more coherent than Destiny, I'll give it that.

I'm sure Tred mentioned he was using it lots for previously 'couch only' mp too. Towerfall Ascension is a great game but it's much more fun in mp. Works a treat apparently.

Ooh, another one to try.  Chalice - attempt two this eve, or are you on the lash again?

It's a fine example of an FPS campaign. Leaps and bounds ahead of Bungie's pathetic attempt. It may not set any new standards but it's very entertaining nevertheless.   Many people seem to rubbish it purely because it's a CoD game. Some of the weapons are joyous.

Apples and oranges though, innit. I'm sure I'd enjoy the campaign. I enjoyed MW & MW2. But fuck COD. Pink lasers FTW.

Not really. Not when Destiny's 'campaign'  was universally pounded. It really was an insult Bungies' legacy.

Destinys best bit of storytelling was cut after the Alpha.

No., only digital upgrade

CEX offer £30 for a trade in, so I'll just go with that. Thanks.

That's not too bad ,  as the Ps4 version is £40 in Tesco

Also depends whether you have store credit or cash. Less for cash obviously.

It wasn't bad. 
Nothing stood out.

Eurogamer Review

It's a reactionary review. Eurogamer seem to wait for everyone else's reviews then fly off in a different direction. I wonder how much of it is honest reviewing and how much is click bait controversy? There have been a few similar reviews of late from them.

Wrong thread, was attempting humour in the Master Chief collection thread it'll do though.

Well there's another article on EG suggesting that it's done far less well than ghosts, so maybe this really is the beginning of the end?

Id like to see it go back to ww2 personally. Can't stand this 'gritty' modern warfare nonsense. That goes doubly for battlefield.
