Right well here we go. I bought the game on PSN yesterday, waited a million hours for it to download, only to find that I was unable to play multiplayer because only Blackout was ready. Played blackout for a bit, it's not bad per se, but it's not good either. There is too much bullshit and the graphics look like they're from a 15 year old game. To its credit, I love the map style and how Treyarch have incorporated all their previous maps in to one massive map. The fact that I can plow 15 mags in to a person only for him to turn around and kill me with a single shot is typical CoD bullshit but I think I've just come to the realisation that life's too short to put up with all this crap. Once multiplayer loaded up I hopped in to a game of Domination on Icebreaker. I've been wondering how best to describe this experience, and although words generally fail me, this is the best I could come up with: Imagine having your scrotum screwed in to a workbench. Now imagine having a pack of rabid wolves tug at you with nothing but your scrotum preventing you from being dragged in to the sunset. Whilst these wolves are yanking at your body and slowly tearing away chunks of meat, you are getting noshed off by Susan Boyle in a tutu. Overcome by the sheer pain and discomfort, you don't even notice the nipple clamps pumping 240v through you and the syringes injecting pure herpes in to your eyeballs. That's about the sum of it. I lasted one game. One. The words best affiliated with this game are: Spawn campers. Fucked spawns. Map too small. Bullshit hit detection. Head glitching (everywhere, literally every single corner in the map has some bullshit head glitching spot) Lag. P2P hosting (in 2018, come on ffs) And last but not least: The cunts that play it. The thing that irritates me the most about this game is the fact that you can't even create a class when you start. Nope, you have to use the bullshit standard classes against players who have diamond camos (yes, really) and everything unlocked. These guys will then head glitch and spawn camp you leaving you unable to move and even when you can move your only defense is some bullshit gun that Treyarch has decided is your only option until you've sunk multiple hours in to the game. It was honestly the worst experience I've ever had in a videogame, and this is the first time I've ever asked for a refund. I ain't paying for this shit, no chance. @techno you are spot on to pass on this one. It's digital cancer, I honestly can't even describe how much I absolutely detest this game.

I haven't played it yet but I'm looking forward to it. I got bored of the first one back in 2010 but my taste in games has changed a lot in the last 8 years so we'll see. The reviews are all overwhelmingly positive so I have high hopes. One thing I'll never forget was Rockstar's ability to eke out every last bit of performance from the end-of-line PS3 with GTA 5. When you had the likes of CoD claiming that theu couldn't do x or y because the PS3 was already pushing its limits, Rockstar then released GTA which put every other dev to shame. The game had 10x the content of all the other games and apart from the loading times it ran smooth as butter. I'm hoping they do the same with RDR2. I'd love tobe able to conclusively prove how poorly optimized other games are. They're not pushing the PS4 in terms of power, they're just really poorly optimized (Destiny 2's escalation protocols being a perfect example, shitloads of fancy lighting effects that improve the game experience by maybe 5% but drop you down to single digit FPS numbers). I'm looking forward to it.

@Diddums nothing I have read or seen from various sources has had me question my decision. It's not like I haven't got other games to play this time either. Edit dids that's one hell of a review 😁

And this is why I'm done with COD. I had no intention of getting this game because I knew this would have been my issues too.

Server ticket rate has been boosted to 64hz - too bad they've conveniently done this when a huge chunk of the population have stopped playing and gone to RDR2. I bet they gave us stacks of crappy cheap servers on launch to cope with the influx and when the population thinned out a bit, only then have they implemented the standard servers you'd expect in a MP game for who's currently left. Clearly Activision didn't want to commit annually to expensive servers if they were going to be empty after a couple of weeks but I hope they've got enough in play for when people return to the game down the line. Of course, people will be hailing Treyarch (Activison) for 'listening' to their fans and all that usual bollocks but it's clear this was attempt to screw people over by doing things on the cheap and when cornered about it; they partially salvage the situation but only when it's in their favour.

You can get BF1 for a fiver right now and all the DLC for free. In a year or so that'll be BF5, I think that's what I'll wait for[emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Gave it a few more laps this afternoon, got my time down to a 2:16.441. Though all my best sectors together make a 2:15.6 so I doubt I'll ever get such a perfect lap but maybe high 15's is possible.

Great isn’t it? I’m just bummed out that I’ve discovered all but 3 towns already 😅

I could just wander on my horse without bothering with missions, they've made it so immersive. Loving it so far. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

There's literally a perk that makes your weapon more accurate when you're jumping! What a load of shit. Activision just cater towards all the kids now.
