Ghosts is Trash on PC

[H3iman 14]

Infinity Ward is incapable of making a decent PC game. This has to be the worst CoD in years. Locked FOV at 65, locked FPS at 91, and the game looks worse than BO2, while the performance is terrible. Rather than rant myself, I'll let TotalBiscuit do it for me.

 

 

and for the few mistakes he made in the video (a couple of settings aren't at their maximum value, corrected himself with the perk system), here's the video for that

I feel sorry for you dude it's been the best start ever to a cod gameplay and connection wise for consoles.

There is however one PC gamer I'm laughing at inside hehe.

[TigerBurge 2,375]

Should of gotten it on Xbox.

[Playertd 177]

Real shame about PC glad I got it for the 360 now haha

[H3iman 14]

I wish I had gotten it on 360 as well, I wasted $60 buying it for PC.

[Xethius 59]

That sucks man, sorry :/

[amsterdamman12 14]

I feel the ps3 version looks worse than BO2, blurry textures all around, lower than normal resolution shadows, and so much damn aliasing...hope they get this sorted out for pc though!

Ghosts is running reasonably on my PC but even on the 'Extra' optimisation settings; the game looks pretty rough - I would actually say Black Ops 2 looked better with a nice colour palette and smoother textures.

I'm sure you PC guys know all this stuff already but here's this http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/The-Next-Bench-Blog/Tweaks-for-Call-of-Duty-Ghosts/ba-p/85305

I've done a lot of tweaking and digging around and the thing is.. that I died a bit on the inside when I realised that it's not going to work. Not for a good while. 

 

*Sniff*

[J4MES OX4D 10,025]

After the update yesterday, the game asked me if I wanted to revert to the game's recommended optimisation settings, so I clicked OK and when I went in to the menu; everything was set to low instead of extra! Jeez, I didn't even know 640x480 existed anymore

[BO7H B4RRELS 2,452]

^ Wasn't that Diablo 2 resolution, haha.    

[spectre 633]

Man sorry to hear dude. I feel for you. I dropped 60 bucks on BO1 on Ps3 and it was utter shite.

 

I really wish the FOV was higher on consoles. It looks awesome.

[Diddums 4,346]

Good old 640x480

 

 

Currently known as "Beermat size".

Funny you mention that; I had Black Ops for the PS3 and that was a great game but ruined by lag on a level I have never experienced before and will probably never see again.  Even with the local settings and running the risk of featuring in French lobbies with their (FR)UnCampe names, it was a terrible experience.  I don't have much luck with Call of Duty but Ghosts even with his poor settings and general appearance is more acceptable that some of the times I've had on these games! 

[Harrison 202]

I still really want it..

[J4MES OX4D 10,025]

Ghosts on the PC is ruined! Dunno if it was the recent update but every game now is plagued by lag and severe stutters in performance. It's even worse than DoubleXP weekend and there was only 9,000 players on earlier. The chat boxes are full of people complaining and quite rightly so.  I have never seen a game perform so appallingly and bear in mind I had Black Ops 1 on the PS3 lol!

 

Ghosts seemed fine a couple of days ago but this is atrocious. 

[Diddums 4,346]

It's getting to a point where the two biggest players are fucking up so badly that all it will take is a decent game that works to hammer them from the top spot. Both CoD and BF on PC are so knackered at the moment that they're barely worth playing. BF I'm sure has improved since the recent patch but the launch was a catastrophic failure.

 

People are saying that games are getting more and more complicated to make, and devs are getting worked harder, etc etc, but that argument falls apart when you realise that there are so many recycled elements from previous iterations, and even then, these are triple A titles: if you don't have the resources, then hire more. It's not that hard. The game coding industry is saturated with people trying to get their foot in the door, but the publishers would rather release a defective product and deny all this talent the opportunity to grow than hire some of them and release a quality product.

 

It's a joke really. If you went to the cinema and watched a film and had to come back numerous times to get the full experience you'd flip your shit, yet gamers seem to suck it up (myself included) and let these publishers get away with it.

My PC is running Campaign at 1920x1080 all lighting/texture settings on max perfectly with no issues. There were some loading in and out of cut scene/checkpoint hiccups in the beginning levels but no other problems to report after that. Didn't try online

[Oskari Ollila 10]

I guess I should try playing SP.

 

Haven't touched the game since the launch day and Ive made a decision not to buy a anything on launch ever again. *One personal tear.*

 

Is it even possible to refund a game that I've already linked to my Steam account? 

[Diddums 4,346]

Unfortunately not, no. Steam is notoriously hard on that.

[Oskari Ollila 10]

Mm, I like the fresh scent of money thrown and flushed down the drain. (I know, my own bloody mistake but still it stings.)

[Harrison 202]

The FOV is locked at 65, I can't see a fucking thing

Well said.  Looking at Ghost; the game doesn't seem to be a massive step forward that we were expecting.  The alleged new engine is probably not new and it doesn't feel new - it is probably the classic IW4 but renamed to avoid conflict in the community.  The maps aren't all dynamic like they seemed to be insinuating and the 'dynamic' features aren't all that impressive.  The game looks no better than MW2 in all honesty and how the hell in this day and age even with 9k online can't they get the game running consistently and efficiently is beyond me.  Today was a real shock for me and the many people I was in lobbies with and it just feels a massive kick in the teeth that they still cannot get it right.

 

They have the community grabbed by the balls and the flamboyant marketing is really just about pulling the wool over peoples eyes.  

 

Battlefield 4 I haven't touched for many days and I may very well speak to Trading Standards as the quality of the product is not what was advertised or declared by EA.  I am sick of being shafted by these cash-cow companies that promise so much but don't deliver.
