    It’s no surprise Treyarch also has no idea how to establish or develop a character. Which is an okay thing to have no idea how to do. Treyarch is making a shooter, not writing a Chekhov play. But Treyarch’s sin is not knowing this about themselves. Treyarch’s sin is shoving your face into a trough of narrative slop and holding your head down for minutes at a time. And furthermore thinking this is what you want. Long bouts of serious and seriously incoherent story. I have a suggestion for people who make games: if your storytelling skills aren’t up to par, if your game isn’t conducive to telling stories, don’t spend so much time on the story.

    Performance is subpar on 4790k, 16g ram, 780 Ti on 1080p high settings (not even Extra). Spent most of my 2 hours messing with the settings,Performance is subpar on 4790k, 16g ram, 780 Ti on 1080p high settings (not even Extra). Spent most of my 2 hours messing with the settings, then refunded. Not gonna drop this to medium/low because the devs don't care to make a proper game. My PC can run all other games very well (even Arkham Knight), there is no excuse for dodgy performance in this game that looks very "meh". Mouse is also laggy, which is completely unacceptable. A message on Steam mentions some .ini tweaks to improve performance. I can't be bothered really, I have many other games to play, not gonna mess with .ini files when I paid 100 euros for this game and I have a common PC config, not some weird Xeon build or whatever. 100 euros = make it work on its own or I'm getting my money back.… Full Review »

    First Call of Duty I didn't like. Just didn't "feel it" (Note, this is based on multiplayer, never touched COD singel player). AwfulFirst Call of Duty I didn't like. Just didn't "feel it" (Note, this is based on multiplayer, never touched COD singel player). Awful optimization issues did not help, 5930K/970 SLI and frame drops to 10-20 fps ever 30sec from 100. Seems to have bad memory leak issues.… Full Review »

    Absolute abomination of a game. There is no innovation, and most ideas are ripped straight out of previous games. The campaign is laughablyAbsolute abomination of a game. There is no innovation, and most ideas are ripped straight out of previous games. The campaign is laughably bad !! The multi-player maps are uninspired. On top of that, there are tons of glitches. Quit buying this and play some better games. Click on my name to see the games that are actually worth playing. Quit giving these incompetent lazy devs your money.… Full Review »
